--------------------------------------

bq. Not sure if the fix is to update the commands description, which would be easy, or to make the begin row actually inclusive.

Probably just a doc update.

> The compact command has the following description 
> {code}
> root@accumulo> compact -?
> usage: compact [<table>{ <table>}] [-?] [-b <begin-row>] [--cancel] [-e <end-row>] [-nf] [-ns <namespace> | -p <pattern> | -t <tableName>]  [-pn <profile>]  [-w]
> description: sets all tablets for a table to major compact as soon as possible (based on current time)
>   -?,--help                       display this help
>   -b,--begin-row <begin-row>      begin row (inclusive)
>      --cancel                     cancel user initiated compactions
>   -e,--end-row <end-row>          end row (inclusive)
>   -nf,--noFlush                   do not flush table data in memory before compacting.
>   -ns,--namespace <namespace>     name of a namespace to operate on
>   -p,--pattern <pattern>          regex pattern of table names to operate on
>   -pn,--profile <profile>         iterator profile name
>   -t,--table <tableName>          name of a table to operate on
>   -w,--wait                       wait for compact to finish
> {code}
> However, the --begin-row is not inclusive.  Here is a simple demonstration.
> {code}
> createtable compacttest
> addsplits a b c
> insert "a" "1" "" ""
> insert "a" "2" "" ""
> insert "b" "3" "" ""
> insert "b" "4" "" ""
> insert "c" "5" "" ""
> insert "c" "6" "" ""
> flush -w
> scan -t accumulo.metadata -np
> compact -b a -e c -t compacttest -w
> scan -t accumulo.metadata -np
> deletetable compacttest -f
> {code}
> You will see that file associated with the 'a' split is still a F flush file, which the files in the 'b' and 'c' split are A files.
> Not sure if the fix is to update the commands description, which would be easy, or to make the begin row actually inclusive.
