Hi JV, I noticed that you're doing a bunch of work to improve BK compaction in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BOOKKEEPER-944 and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BOOKKEEPER-949.
Earlier, I mentioned that we were also doing some work to make compaction use a separate log file and add improve the error handling logic to reduce the chance of duplicated data being generated. By doing this, it can also address a few other issues. Here's the ticket https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BOOKKEEPER-1014 So I just want to quickly check with you to see if there's any conflict / overlap in these compaction related changes, if there is, let's discuss how to resolve them and cooperate with each other. For example, I think the issue in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BOOKKEEPER-949 can also be addressed once we have a separate log for compaction and a different allocation rule for compaction log. Thanks, Yiming
