MajorCompaction may affect scan's correctness
---------------------------------------------

                 Key: HBASE-5121
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5121
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: regionserver
            Reporter: chunhui shen


In our test, there are two families' keyvalue for one row.

But we could find a infrequent problem when doing scan's next if 
majorCompaction happens concurrently.
In the client's two continuous doing scan.next():
1.First time, scan's next returns the result where family A is null.
2.Second time, scan's next returns the result where family B is null.
The two next()'s result have the same row.

If there are more families, I think the scenario will be more strange...

We find the reason is that storescanner.peek() is changed after majorCompaction 
if there are delete type KeyValue.
This change causes the PriorityQueue<KeyValueScanner> of RegionScanner's heap 
is not sure to be sorted.
