   > I was wondering what your thoughts were with this design and merging minor compactions? I would think their benefits would be minimized and removing them would greatly reduce complexity.
   
   I had not considered that, but I think removing them may be a good idea.  A smart selection algorithm plus multiple compaction queues (like this [proposal](https://gist.github.com/keith-turner/16125790c6ff0d86c67795a08d2c057f)) could remove the need for merging minor compactions.  I think one would want compactions for small files to run on an internal queue for responsiveness.  Compactions of larger files could run on an external queue.
