Rethinking The Compaction Policies in LSM-trees
Summary: Reframes compaction in LSM-trees as a throughput investment, optimizing timing and aggressiveness under CPU/I/O contention. Introduces EcoTune, a three-level LSM model solved by DP, delivering 1.5–3x query throughput over leveling on RocksDB. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
