> A compaction with "attempted" status sounds like compactor tried to compact the table/partition and failed. In reality it means one of these:
>  * the Initiator did not queue compaction because the number of previously failed compactions has passed a threshold
>  * the Initiator did not queue compaction because of an error
> In both these cases the user is still able initiate compaction manually. This should be made clearer.
