> Hello,
> I'm trying to estimate an upper bound for RocksDB's state size in my application. For that purpose, I have created a small job with faster timings whose code you can find on GitHub: [https://github.com/asardaes/flink-rocksdb-ttl-test]. You can see some of the results there, but I summarize here as well:
>  * Approximately 20 events per second, 10 unique keys for partitioning are pre-specified.
>  * Sliding window of 11 seconds with a 1-second slide.
>  * Allowed lateness of 11 seconds.
>  * State TTL configured to 1 minute and compaction after 1000 entries.
>  * Both window-specific and window-global state used.
>  * Checkpoints every 2 seconds.
>  * Parallelism of 4 in stateful tasks.
> The goal is to let the job run and analyze state compaction behavior with RocksDB. I should note that global state is cleaned manually inside the functions, TTL for those is in case some keys are no longer seen in the actual production environment.
> I have been running the job on a local cluster (outside IDE), the configuration YAML is also available in the repository. After running for approximately 1.6 days, state size is currently 2.3 GiB (see attachments). I understand state can retain expired data for a while, but since TTL is 1 minute, this seems excessive to me.
