Description

We ran an incremental scrape with HFileOutputFormat and encountered major compaction storms. This is caused by the bug in ~~HBASE-3404~~. The permanent fix is a little tricky without ~~HBASE-2856~~. We realized that a quicker solution for avoiding these compaction storms is to simply exclude bulk import files from minor compactions and let them only be handled by time-based major compactions. Add with functionality along with a config option to enable it.
