Summary:
after https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/11321 and https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/11340 (both included in RocksDB v8.2), migration from `level_compaction_dynamic_level_bytes=false` to `level_compaction_dynamic_level_bytes=true` is automatic by RocksDB and requires no manual compaction from user. Making the option true by default as it has several advantages: 1. better space amplification guarantee (a more stable LSM shape). 2. compaction is more adaptive to write traffic. 3. automatic draining of unneeded levels. Wiki is updated with more detail: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/Leveled-Compaction#option-level_compaction_dynamic_level_bytes-and-levels-target-size.
The PR mostly contains fixes for unit tests as they assumed `level_compaction_dynamic_level_bytes=false`. Most notable change is commit f742be330c and b1928e42b3 which override the default option in DBTestBase to still set `level_compaction_dynamic_level_bytes=false` by default. This helps to reduce the change needed for unit tests. I think this default option override in unit tests is okay since the behavior of `level_compaction_dynamic_level_bytes=true` is tested by explicitly setting this option. Also, `level_compaction_dynamic_level_bytes=false` may be more desired in unit tests as it makes it easier to create a desired LSM shape.
Comment for option `level_compaction_dynamic_level_bytes` is updated to reflect this change and change made in https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/10057.
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/11525
Test Plan: `make -j32 J=32 check` several times to try to catch flaky tests due to this option change.
