   I think that we would need to be careful about this. Deduplication makes sense, but it is an overwrite and not a replace operation because it modifies the data in the table. Compaction is a pure replace that does not modify the table data. We should keep the two separate because replace operations can be safely ignored when looking for change to the table data.
