Description

Our internal deployments are based on branch-1.3. We will be using the major compaction tool HBASE-19528 from churromorales and the enhancements on top of it HBASE-21883 on our 1.3 clusters. I would like to backport HBASE-19528 to 1.3 and hence 1.4 as well. Since its a standalone tool without any other dependency or code changes, I believe that should be ok.
