> currently compaction launches 1 MR job per partition that needs to be compacted.
> The number of tasks is equal to the number of buckets in the table (or number or writers in the 'widest' write).
> The number of AMs in a cluster is usually limited to a small percentage of the nodes.  This limits how much compaction can be done in parallel.
> Investigate what it would take for a single job to be able to handle multiple partitions.
