Learning to Optimize LSM-trees: Towards A Reinforcement Learning based Key-Value Store for Dynamic Workloads

Summary: RusKey pioneers online LSM-tree design and RL-guided LSM transformations for dynamic workloads. FLSM-tree enables efficient transitions between compaction policies without workload priors, delivering up to 4× end-to-end performance vs RocksDB. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
