In PressureAwareCompactionThroughputController:
{code:java}
/**                                                                             
                                                                                
                    
 * A throughput controller which uses the follow schema to limit throughput

 * <li>In off peak hours, use a fixed throughput limitation

 * <li>In normal hours, the max throughput is tuned between                     
                                                                                
                    
 * {@value #HBASE_HSTORE_COMPACTION_MAX_THROUGHPUT_LOWER_BOUND} and

The lower and upper bounds are 10MB/sec and 20MB/sec, respectively:
{code:java}
  public static final String 
HBASE_HSTORE_COMPACTION_MAX_THROUGHPUT_HIGHER_BOUND =
      "hbase.hstore.compaction.throughput.higher.bound";

  private static final long 
DEFAULT_HBASE_HSTORE_COMPACTION_MAX_THROUGHPUT_HIGHER_BOUND =
      20L * 1024 * 1024;

  public static final String HBASE_HSTORE_COMPACTION_MAX_THROUGHPUT_LOWER_BOUND 
=
      "hbase.hstore.compaction.throughput.lower.bound";

  private static final long 
DEFAULT_HBASE_HSTORE_COMPACTION_MAX_THROUGHPUT_LOWER_BOUND =
      10L * 1024 * 1024;
{code}
(In contrast, in PressureAwareFlushThroughputController the lower and upper 
bounds are 10x of those limits, at 100MB/sec and 200MB/sec, respectively.)

In fairly light load scenarios we see compaction quickly falls behind and write 
clients are backed off or failing due to RegionTooBusy exceptions. Although 
compaction throughput becomes unbounded after the store reaches the blocking 
file count, in the lead up to this the default settings do not provide enough 
bandwidth to stave off blocking. The defaults should be increased. 

I'm not sure what new good defaults make sense. We could start by doubling them 
to 20MB/sec and 40MB/sec respectively. Might need to be doubled again.
