Description

HBASE-2990 still has no resolution, but major compacting is kind of a critical thing to have. Here we changed this in Store:

         // we'd end up with nothing to compact.  To protect against this, we'll
         // compact the tail -- up to the last 4 files -- of filesToCompact
         // regardless.
-        int tail = Math.min(countOfFiles, 4);
+        // CHANGED FOR STUMBLEUPON, THE MINIMUM IS 2 SINCE 4 BASICALLY DISABLES MAJOR COMPACTIONS
+        int tail = Math.min(countOfFiles, 2);

I intend to include this in the next 0.89
