> HBASE-14098 adds a new configuration toggle - "hbase.hfile.drop.behind.compaction" - which if set to "true" tells compactions to drop pages from the OS blockcache after write. It's on by default where committed so far but a backport to 0.98 would default it to off. (The backport would also retain compat methods to LimitedPrivate interface StoreFileScanner.) What could make it a controversial change in 0.98 is it changes the default setting of 'hbase.regionserver.compaction.private.readers' from "false" to "true". I think it's fine, we use private readers in production. They're stable and do not present perf issues.
