Description

Currently if you force a compaction and then force another one, accumulo has a convenience feature that doesn't force the redundant one. The problem is if you change iterators settings for majc time between compaction calls, the second one is no longer redundant and the feature is now a hindrance. We should compare state of the iterators between the currently running compaction and the current state before decided to drop the second attempt.
