Eshcar Hillel commented on HBASE-20542:
---------------------------------------

Thanks [~mdrob].
 So except for these warnings, QA passed. I am pushing this patch to master.
[~Apache9] [~stack] should I commit this to branch-2/branch2.0 or would you like to take a closer look at it?

> Following HBASE-20188 we realized in-memory compaction combined with MSLABs may suffer from heap under-utilization due to internal fragmentation. This jira presents a solution to circumvent this problem. The main idea is to have each update operation check if it will cause overflow in the active segment *before* it is writing the new value (instead of checking the size after the write is completed), and if it is then the active segment is atomically swapped with a new empty segment, and is pushed (full-yet-not-overflowed) to the compaction pipeline. Later on the IMC deamon will run its compaction operation (flatten index/merge indices/data compaction) in the background. Some subtle concurrency issues should be handled with care. We next elaborate on them.
