If enable FIFOCompactionPolicy, a compaction may write a "empty" hfile whose maxTimeStamp is long max. This kind of hfile will never be archived.

    Description

      When i use FIFOCompactionPolicy, and if all hfiles(>1) are TTL expired in a region, once we do a compaction on the region, the compaction policy will select the latest hfile to do compaction.But beacuse the latest hfile is already TTL expired, compactor only write a "empty" hfile(whose entry counter is 0 and maxTimeStamp is Long.MAX_VALUE) finally. Because maxTimeStamp is long max, so the "empty" hfile will never be TTL expired, more seriously we can not archive it by FIFOCompactionPolicy forever.
