Description

There may be situations where users want to do a one time run of an iterator to transform or dump specific data. Currently the only way to do this is to turn on the iterator, do the compaction and flush, and disable the iterator and hope there is consistency or nothing ran in excess. It would be awesome if we had the ability for them to kick off a compaction/flush and specify iterator(s) to run for that run only to do what they need done.
