Xingbo Wang 1f20db7a31 Add FIFO KV-ratio compaction blog post (#14871)
Summary:
- Add a blog post explaining FIFO KV-ratio compaction for BlobDB-backed TTL workloads.
- Describe why the existing FIFO intra-L0 picker can repeatedly compact small BlobDB SST files and how the new KV-ratio target plus tiered merging strategy works.
- Add diagrams for the old picker behavior and the KV-ratio tiering flow, along with the required blog author metadata.

## Testing

- `git diff --check upstream/main...HEAD`

RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage

CircleCI Status

RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team. It is built on earlier work on LevelDB by Sanjay Ghemawat (sanjay@google.com) and Jeff Dean (jeff@google.com)

This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast key-value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives. It has a Log-Structured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs between Write-Amplification-Factor (WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF) and Space-Amplification-Factor (SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions, making it especially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.

Start with example usage here: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/tree/main/examples

See the github wiki for more explanation.

The public interface is in include/. Callers should not include or rely on the details of any other header files in this package. Those internal APIs may be changed without warning.
