Summary:
Depending on the config, manual compaction (leveled compaction style) does following compactions:
L0->L1
L1->L2
...
Ln-1 -> Ln
Ln -> Ln
The final Ln -> Ln compaction is partly unnecessary as it recompacts all the files that were just generated by the Ln-1 -> Ln. We should avoid recompacting such files. This rule should be applied to Lmax only.
