> Tablet.initiateMajorCompaction() always returns false, but we check the
> return value when accounting for the number of idle major compactions started
> in TabletServer.MajorCompactor.run() and continue to kick off idle
> compactions on every tablet.
> DefaultCompactionStrategy doesn't do anything special for idle compactions,
> so this will only be an issue with a custom CompactionStrategy.
> My guess would be the best thing to do would be to get rid of idle
> compactions and get rid of the return value on initiateMajorCompaction().
