During April 2025, contributed to the facebook/rocksdb repository by developing a Disk-Space Aware SST File Manager, addressing the challenge of managing storage in environments with limited disk capacity. This feature introduced explicit disk usage controls and refined compaction strategies, enhancing storage reliability and predictability. The work involved designing and integrating a new API surface through RocksDB’s C API, leveraging skills in C and C++ programming as well as database management. By exposing robust storage-management semantics, the contribution reduced the risk of space-related failures and improved the stability of deployments, supporting downstream projects that require precise disk space control.
