Summary: Right now, when options.ttl is set, compactions are triggered around the time when TTL is reached. This might cause extra compactions which are often bursty. This commit tries to mitigate it by picking those files earlier in normal compaction picking process. This is only implemented using kMinOverlappingRatio with Leveled compaction as it is the default value and it is more complicated to change other styles. When a file is aged more than ttl/2, RocksDB starts to boost the compaction priority of files in normal compaction picking process, and hope by the time TTL is reached, very few extra compaction is needed. In order for this to work, another change is made: during a compaction, if an output level file is older than ttl/2, cut output files based on original boundary (if it is not in the last level). This is to make sure that after an old file is moved to the next level, and new data is merged from the upper level, the new data falling into this range isn't reset with old timestamp. Without this change, in many cases, most files from one level will keep having old timestamp, even if they have newer data and we stuck in it. Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/8749 Test Plan: Add a unit test to test the boosting logic. Will add a unit test to test it end-to-end.

RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage
RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team. It is built on earlier work on LevelDB by Sanjay Ghemawat (sanjay@google.com) and Jeff Dean (jeff@google.com)
This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast key-value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives. It has a Log-Structured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs between Write-Amplification-Factor (WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF) and Space-Amplification-Factor (SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions, making it especially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.
