Summary:
Right now, when picking a compaction, grand parent files are from output_level + 1. This usually works, but if the level doesn't have any overlapping file, it will be more efficient to go further down. This is because the files are likely to be trivial moved further and might create a violation of max_compaction_bytes. This situation can naturally happen and might happen even more with TTL compactions. There is no harm to fix it.
