1. there are two ways to rigger convert:
a. manually: user can trigger manually by execute 'ALTER TABLE
table_name SET ("storage_format" = "v2");'
b. automatic: I will add a config like 'compaction_v1_to_v2' if this is
true, base compaction will auto compaction v1 tablet to v2 even there is no
data load.
c. verify: I will add a stmt like "show storage format from database"
to check if all table is v2
2. the cost of conversion is the same as directly schema change, user can
select manually or automatic way to apply the conversion according to
their situation
