Review Comment:
   Makes sense re: deadlock and ordering. The code is quite complicated due to 
all of the above constraints and the constraint to tightly bound memory within 
a bin.
   
   Do we need to tightly bound memory usage within a bin? Notably each bin is 
roughly bound to on disk representation of `MANIFEST_TARGET_SIZE_BYTES_DEFAULT 
= 8MB`. Even assuming 10x larger heap size, that is 80MB per bin. 
   
   And the common case is only 1 bin needs to be rewritten. EG) 100 commits, 
100 small manifests, 1 bin gets rewritten. You can construct an uncommon case 
where there are many bins but it would require a table with many small 
manifests that was never compacted.
   
   I'm concerned `MAX_READ_AHEAD_ENTRIES` adds significant complexity for not 
much benefit over the naive approach. Would be good to get others feedback.
