major compaction not working

[#1]

I am trying to run a major compaction but the number of files and time stamps remains same I dont think it is doing anything

[#2]

major_compaction 'table_name'

Returns successful and there is nothing in the logs stating a compaction happened and the hfiles number remains the same,

Any suggestions?
