@kxepal: If recompaction is enabled it would through away "almost"
compacted view if db update occurs. Sometimes though you want to let compaction
finish and then do regular index update to catch up. By temporary disabling
recompaction you would be able to do so. Above is just one example when it
could be useful. There are other use cases as well.
