> The default compaction strategy has a tendency to put the oldest data in the largest files.  This leads to a lot of work when it is time to age off data.
> One could imaging a compaction strategy that would split data into separate files based on the timestamp.  Additionally, if the min/max timestamps for a file were known, old data could be aged off by deleting whole files.
> To accomplish this, will need to augment the configurable compaction strategy to support multiple output files, and saving/using extra metadata in each file.
