Splitting this out from the other thread. It seems like there is broad support for eventually moving towards UCS as our default compaction strategy. What do we think needs to be completed ahead of that change. What I've heard so far:
* Time / more reports of use in production - In particular for me I would like to see us reach a point where we've seen the edge cases / pain points and have had to work around them. While the current compaction strategies have their downsides, those are well known. For those who are running UCS in prod, some write-ups of your experience would be great. Performance comparisons or benefits / drawbacks is what I am hoping to see. * Documentation - what docs do we see as required specifically? * For me personally I would like to see a discussion of making the arguments a bit more approachable. In particular, we aren't in the age of needing to compress configuration into single characters. Can we make more human readable options that describe what they do without having to memorize the various options or refer to the docs (not saying no docs are ever needed but e.g. "max_threshold" is more explanatory than "T4").
