Abstract
Methods and systems for garbage collection and compaction for key-value engines in a data storage and communication system. The method includes determining disk capacity usage of the key-value engine and adjusting a garbage collection percentage threshold and a number of garbage collection threads based on whether the disk capacity usage of the key-value engine meets and/or exceeds predetermined disk capacity usage thresholds. The method may further include performing a periodic compaction process to consolidate one or more expired pages of one or more applications on a log-structured merge (LSM) tree by merging one or more layers into a last layer of the one or more expired pages to reduce data handling during an occurrence of the garbage collection.
