I’ve been testing kvrocks as a replacement for a Scylla use case where we have TBs of data and uniform TTLs. In many of these LSM dbs, compaction is the thing that really kills throughput, making TTLs (or really any updates/deletes) difficult.

KVRocks doesn’t expose it directly right now so it requires code changes, but so far I have had good success with FIFO compaction. When an sstable gets old enough, it just gets dropped.
