Sep 1, 2025September 2025: Strengthened testing, resilience, and compatibility for Remote Compaction in RocksDB. Re-enabled stress testing with sanitized feature combinations and implemented a resilient fallback to local compaction when remote fails. Resolved compatibility issues by disabling Remote Compaction in stress tests when Integrated BlobDB is enabled and temporarily stabilized testing by disabling Remote Compaction during fixes. These changes improve test reliability, reduce noise from flaky failures, and deliver clearer performance insights for production deployments.
