> during selecting Hfiles for the Stripe Compaction,
> If includeL0==true, int minFiles set to the number of allFiles in the stripe.
> It make compaction for All of files in the stripe 
> or No compaction at all (which is the problem). 
> the Stripe compaction uses exploring compaction inside.
> some of HFiles in the stripe is too big, these all files are gonna never pass the ratio check
> and compaction will be cancelled 
> next time the compaction is occurred, includeL0 will be true again. 
> so compactions (even minor compactions) will not happen almost forever.
> Flushing makes more small HFiles and no compaction happening,
> so numerous tiny HFiles are gonna file up in the stripe, and it’s going to be a problem.
> there is no such thing as major compaction in the stripe compaction.
> But we need to compact every file of the stripe to drop deletes at some point.
> IMHO  there is not one stripe in the region, there are many.
> when includeL0==true, compact all HFiles in the stripe without selecting is reasonable.
