RocksDB has added version 3 and version 4 sstable formats:
- Version 3 changes index block keys to not include the sequence number (which is always 0?)
- Version 4 changes index block values (block handles) from being encoded as
<offset, size>
to a delta encoding that usually only stores <size>
.
There is no particular urgency to supporting these formats, but we should investigate whether these format changes move the needle on any benchmarks.
