ramkrishna.s.vasudevan commented on HBASE-23349:
------------------------------------------------
bq.Now the issue is that if there are readers active on a region always it will
never be allowed to discharge compacted files
Ya if readers are active discharger will never come into play. Is there any
specific reason why readers are always active?
Are you suggesting we go back to the locking way only? If not then atleast i
prefer the approach here where CPs can make the store scanner reset itself on
compaction.
