Can you please explain little more? You mean that if Level 1 file contains range from 1-100 all the updates would still go in that file? The link on leveldb says: > The compaction picks a file from level L and all overlapping files from > the next level L+1 > If all updates go in the same sstables then how do overlapping files get generated. By overlapping I am assuming it means new or updated value for a given key exists in multiple files?
