      Compaction returns EBUSY when the cache is stuck.

      Background compaction processes EBUSY errors due to cache pressure here.

      The issue with background compaction is that it will simply go to the next table without giving the system time to recover and will potentially hit the same error again or make it worse. Background compaction should pause whenever there is bad cache pressure.
