Abstract
A method for execution by a compaction management system includes determining observed compaction information based on compaction observed in at least one storage device during an observed timeframe. An estimated compaction rate is generated for a first future timeframe based on the observed compaction information. An updated ingest rate is generated for the first future timeframe based on a current ingest rate and the estimated compaction rate. A first proper subset of a set of data to be written to the at least one storage device is generated based on the updated ingest rate. Storage of the first proper subset in the at least one storage device is facilitated during the first future timeframe. Storage of a remaining proper subset of the set of data in an elastic buffer is facilitated during the first future timeframe, where the elastic buffer utilizes a memory of the compaction management system.
