Github user sijie commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/bookkeeper/pull/81 @jvrao even you enforce force compaction or allow entry log creation, it doesn't really address the issue that this pull request addresses. the change is useful when all your disks are full (full here can mean the physical space is full). This change allows bookies have the ability to reclaim and recover from disks are all full.
