Structural Designs Meet Optimality: Exploring Optimized LSM-tree Structures in A Colossal Configuration Space

Summary: LSM-tree design space generalized beyond fixed leveled/Tiered patterns: per-level runs, size ratios, and Bloom filters are optimized jointly. Key insight is a large last level for point lookups plus a runs/ratio correlation yielding Moose/Smoose, outperforming RocksDB baselines across mixed workloads.
