Currently, each column family creates a fiber to handle compaction requests
in parallel to the system. If there are N column families, N compactions
could be running in parallel, which is definitely horrible.
To solve that problem, a per-database compaction manager is introduced here.
Compaction manager is a feature used to service compaction requests from N
column families. Parallelism is made available by creating more than one
fiber to service the requests. That being said, N compaction requests will
be served by M fibers.
A compaction request being submitted will go to a job queue shared between
all fibers, and the fiber with the lowest amount of pending jobs will be
signalled.
