I don't know what exactly compaction logs is like in system.log. But I see
logs like this in system.log, I think maybe this is the compaction log

To clarify the source of compaction, I restarted the cluster and truncate
system.hints at Jan 8. However, it also shows compactionhistory of hints
like this. I checked the timestamp however, many history items are compared
at Jan 6.

Besides, there are also lots pending compaction tasks over 70000000.
