Hey Frédéric,

Mostly poor index performance due to slow rocksdb iterators (the cause
being excessive tombstone accumulation).

I don't have experience with rocksdb spill, unfortunately. If
compaction is helping with spill, then more frequent compaction sounds
like it could help, though I don't know whether this setting in
particular will help.

Yes, we've successfully used ttl to mitigate tombstone problems before
the introduction of rocksdb_cf_compact_on_deletion, and it may be more
relevant to your situation. You can add ttl=<seconds> to your rocksdb
options and restart OSDs to give it a try.
