> The trunk version of regionserver/Store.java, method   List<StoreFile> compactSelection(List<StoreFile> candidates) has this code to determine whether major compaction should be done or not: 
>     // major compact on user action or age (caveat: we have too many files)
>     boolean majorcompaction = (forcemajor || isMajorCompaction(filesToCompact))
>       && filesToCompact.size() < this.maxFilesToCompact;
> The isMajorCompaction(filesToCompact) method internally determines whether or not major compaction is required (and logs this as "Major compaction triggered ... " log message. However, after the call, the compactSelection method subsequently applies the filesToCompact.size() < this.maxFilesToCompact check which can turn off major compaction. 
> This would result in a "Major compaction triggered" log message without actually triggering a major compaction.
> The filesToCompact.size() check should probably be moved inside the isMajorCompaction(filesToCompact) method.
