Compactionary: A Dictionary for LSM Compactions
Summary: Compactionary formalizes LSM compaction as four levers: when to compact, post-compact organization, amount, and data selection. An interactive demo lets researchers tailor workloads and tunings, switch strategies, and explore hybrid compaction plans. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
