Dostoevsky: Better Space-Time Trade-Offs for LSM-Tree Based Key-Value Stores via Adaptive Removal of Superfluous Merging

Summary: Dostoevsky uses Lazy Leveling to remove merges from all LSM-tree levels except the largest, lowering update I/O while preserving lookup and storage bounds. It generalizes to Fluid LSM-tree for adaptive, workload-hardware aware merging; implemented atop RocksDB, it empirically dominates state-of-the-art in performance and space.
