Summary: Introducing Periodic Compactions. This feature allows all the files in a CF to be periodically compacted. It could help in catching any corruptions that could creep into the DB proactively as every file is constantly getting re-compacted. And also, of course, it helps to cleanup data older than certain threshold. - Introduced a new option `periodic_compaction_time` to control how long a file can live without being compacted in a CF. - This works across all levels. - The files are put in the same level after going through the compaction. (Related files in the same level are picked up as `ExpandInputstoCleanCut` is used). - Compaction filters, if any, are invoked as usual. - A new table property, `file_creation_time`, is introduced to implement this feature. This property is set to the time at which the SST file was created (and that time is given by the underlying Env/OS). This feature can be enabled on its own, or in conjunction with `ttl`. It is possible to set a different time threshold for the bottom level when used in conjunction with ttl. Since `ttl` works only on 0 to last but one levels, you could set `ttl` to, say, 1 day, and `periodic_compaction_time` to, say, 7 days. Since `ttl < periodic_compaction_time` all files in last but one levels keep getting picked up based on ttl, and almost never based on periodic_compaction_time. The files in the bottom level get picked up for compaction based on `periodic_compaction_time`.

DEFAULT_OPTIONS_HISTORY.md
# RocksDB default options change log
## Unreleased
* delayed_write_rate takes the rate given by rate_limiter if not specified.
## 5.2
* Change the default of delayed slowdown value to 16MB/s and further increase the L0 stop condition to 36 files.
## 5.0 (11/17/2016)
* Options::allow_concurrent_memtable_write and Options::enable_write_thread_adaptive_yield are now true by default
* Options.level0_stop_writes_trigger default value changes from 24 to 32.
## 4.8.0 (5/2/2016)
* options.max_open_files changes from 5000 to -1. It improves performance, but users need to set file descriptor limit to be large enough and watch memory usage for index and bloom filters.
* options.base_background_compactions changes from max_background_compactions to 1. When users set higher max_background_compactions but the write throughput is not high, the writes are less spiky to disks.
* options.wal_recovery_mode changes from kTolerateCorruptedTailRecords to kPointInTimeRecovery. Avoid some false positive when file system or hardware reorder the writes for file data and metadata.
## 4.7.0 (4/8/2016)
* options.write_buffer_size changes from 4MB to 64MB.
* options.target_file_size_base changes from 2MB to 64MB.
* options.max_bytes_for_level_base changes from 10MB to 256MB.
* options.soft_pending_compaction_bytes_limit changes from 0 (disabled) to 64GB.
* options.hard_pending_compaction_bytes_limit changes from 0 (disabled) to 256GB.
* table_cache_numshardbits changes from 4 to 6.
* max_file_opening_threads changes from 1 to 16.
