-----------------------------------

Thanks. Let's see how it works.

> Following HBASE-20188 we realized in-memory compaction combined with MSLABs 
> may suffer from heap under-utilization due to internal fragmentation. This 
> jira presents a solution to circumvent this problem. The main idea is to have 
> each update operation check if it will cause overflow in the active segment 
> *before* it is writing the new value (instead of checking the size after the 
> write is completed), and if it is then the active segment is atomically 
> swapped with a new empty segment, and is pushed (full-yet-not-overflowed) to 
> the compaction pipeline. Later on the IMC deamon will run its compaction 
> operation (flatten index/merge indices/data compaction) in the background. 
> Some subtle concurrency issues should be handled with care. We next elaborate 
> on them.
