 A colleague of mine ran into an interesting issue.
 He inserted some data with the WAL disabled, which happened to fit in the 
 aggregate Memstores memory.
 Two weeks later he a had problem with the HDFS cluster, which caused the 
 region servers to abort. He found that his data was lost. Looking at the log 
 we found that the Memstores were not flushed at all during these two weeks.
 Should we have an option to flush memstores periodically. There are obvious 
 downsides to this, like many small storefiles, etc.

[~lhofhansl], yes, the configs could be per table/CF. All right, this patch has 
some unit tests as you earlier asked for it. If you are okay with it, I'll 
commit it in trunk/0.95, and post an updated one for 0.94.

Release Note: 
This feature limits the time that unflushed data will stay in the memstore.
By default a memstore will flush if data older than 1h (360ms) is present.

This can be configured via hbase.regionserver.optionalcacheflushinterval 
(default value is 360).

 A colleague of mine ran into an interesting issue.
 He inserted some data with the WAL disabled, which happened to fit in the 
 aggregate Memstores memory.
 Two weeks later he a had problem with the HDFS cluster, which caused the 
 region servers to abort. He found that his data was lost. Looking at the log 
 we found that the Memstores were not flushed at all during these two weeks.
 Should we have an option to flush memstores periodically. There are obvious 
 downsides to this, like many small storefiles, etc.
