+Procedure Framework
+----------------------
+
+# Summary
+A framework for executing operations in a fault-tolerant manner.
+
+# Motivation
+Some operations in GreptimeDB require multiple steps to implement. For example, creating a table needs:
+1. Check whether the table exists
+2. Create the table in the table engine
+  1. Create a region for the table in the storage engine
+  2. Persist the metadata of the table to the table manifest
+3. Add the table to the catalog manager
+
+If the node dies or restarts in the middle of creating a table, it could leave the system in an inconsistent state. The procedure framework, inspired by [Apache HBase's ProcedureV2 framework](https://github.com/apache/hbase/blob/bfc9fc9605de638785435e404430a9408b99a8d0/src/main/asciidoc/_chapters/pv2.adoc) and [Apache Accumulo’s FATE framework](https://accumulo.apache.org/docs/2.x/administration/fate), aims to provide a unified way to implement multi-step operations that is tolerant to failure.
+
+# Details
+## Overview
+The procedure framework consists of the following primary components:
+- A `Procedure` represents an operation or a set of operations to be performed step-by-step
+- `ProcedureManager`, the runtime to run `Procedures`. It executes the submitted procedures, stores procedures' states to the `ProcedureStore` and restores procedures from `ProcedureStore` while the database restarts.
+- `ProcedureStore` is a storage layer for persisting the procedure state
+
+
+## Procedures
+The `ProcedureManager` keeps calling `Procedure::execute()` until the Procedure is done, so the operation of the Procedure should be [idempotent](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Idempotent): it needs to be able to undo or replay a partial execution of itself.
+
+```rust
+trait Procedure {
+    fn execute(&mut self, ctx: &Context) -> Result<Status>;
+
+    fn dump(&self) -> Result<String>;
+
+    fn rollback(&self) -> Result<()>;
+
+    // other methods...
+}
+```
+
+The `Status` is an enum that has the following variants:
+```rust
+enum Status {
+    Executing {
+        persist: bool,
+    },
+    Suspended {
+        subprocedures: Vec<ProcedureWithId>,
+        persist: bool,
+    },
+    Done,
+}
+```
+
+A call to `execute()` can result in the following possibilities:
+- `Ok(Status::Done)`: we are done
+- `Ok(Status::Executing { .. })`: there are remaining steps to do
+- `Ok(Status::Suspend { sub_procedure, .. })`: execution is suspended and can be resumed later after the sub-procedure is done.
+- `Err(e)`: error occurs during execution and the procedure is unable to proceed anymore.
+
+Users need to assign a unique `ProcedureId` to the procedure and the procedure can get this id via the `Context`. The `ProcedureId` is typically a UUID.
+
+```rust
+struct Context {
+    id: ProcedureId,
+    // other fields ...
+}
+```
+
+The `ProcedureManager` calls `Procedure::dump()` to serialize the internal state of the procedure and writes to the `ProcedureStore`. The `Status` has a field `persist` to tell the `ProcedureManager` whether it needs persistence.
+
+## Sub-procedures
+A procedure may need to create some sub-procedures to process its subtasks. For example, creating a distributed table with multiple regions (partitions) needs to set up the regions in each node, thus the parent procedure should instantiate a sub-procedure for each region. The `ProcedureManager` makes sure that the parent procedure does not proceed till all sub-procedures are successfully finished.
+
+The procedure can submit sub-procedures to the `ProcedureManager` by returning `Status::Suspended`. It needs to assign a procedure id to each procedure manually so it can track the status of the sub-procedures.
+```rust
+struct ProcedureWithId {
+    id: ProcedureId,
+    procedure: BoxedProcedure,
+}
+```
+
+## ProcedureStore
+We might need to provide two different ProcedureStore implementations:
+- In standalone mode, it stores data on the local disk.
+- In distributed mode, it stores data on the meta server or the object store service.
+
+These implementations should share the same storage structure. They store each procedure's state in a unique path based on the procedure id:
+
+```
+Sample paths:
+
+/procedures/{PROCEDURE_ID}/000001.step
+/procedures/{PROCEDURE_ID}/000002.step
+/procedures/{PROCEDURE_ID}/000003.commit
+```
+
+`ProcedureStore` behaves like a WAL. Before performing each step, the `ProcedureManager` can write the procedure's current state to the ProcedureStore, which stores the state in the `.step` file. The `000001` in the path is a monotonic increasing sequence of the step. After the procedure is done, the `ProcedureManager` puts a `.commit` file to indicate the procedure is finished (committed).
+
+The `ProcedureManager` can remove the procedure's files once the procedure is done, but it needs to leave the `.commit` as the last file to remove in case of failure during removal.
+
+## ProcedureManager
+`ProcedureManager` executes procedures submitted to it.
+
+```rust
+trait ProcedureManager {
+    fn register_loader(&self, name: &str, loader: BoxedProcedureLoader) -> Result<()>;
+
+    async fn submit(&self, procedure: ProcedureWithId) -> Result<()>;
+}
+```
+
+It supports the following operations:
+- Register a `ProcedureLoader` by the type name of the `Procedure`.
+- Submit a `Procedure` to the manager and execute it.
+
+When `ProcedureManager` starts, it loads procedures from the `ProcedureStore` and restores the procedures by the `ProcedureLoader`. The manager stores the type name from `Procedure::type_name()` with the data from `Procedure::dump()` in the `.step` file and uses the type name to find a `ProcedureLoader` to recover the procedure from its data.
+
+```rust
+type BoxedProcedureLoader = Box<dyn Fn(&str) -> Result<BoxedProcedure> + Send>;
+```
+
+## Rollback
+The rollback step is supposed to clean up the resources created during the execute() step. When a procedure has failed, the `ProcedureManager` puts a `rollback` file and calls the `Procedure::rollback()` method.
+
+
+```text
+/procedures/{PROCEDURE_ID}/000001.step
+/procedures/{PROCEDURE_ID}/000002.rollback
+```
+
+Rollback is complicated to implement so some procedures might not support rollback or only provide a best-efforts approach.
+
+## Locking
+The `ProcedureManager` can provide a locking mechanism that gives a procedure read/write access to a database object such as a table so other procedures are unable to modify the same table while the current one is executing.
+
+# Drawbacks
+The `Procedure` framework introduces additional complexity and overhead to our database.
+- To execute a `Procedure`, we need to write to the `ProcedureStore` multiple times, which may slow down the server
+- We need to rewrite the logic of creating/dropping/altering a table using the procedure framework
+
+# Alternatives
+Another approach is to tolerate failure during execution and allow users to retry the operation until it succeeds. But we still need to:
+- Make each step idempotent
+- Record the status in some place to check whether we are done

+# Table Compaction
+
+--- 
+
+## Background
+
+GreptimeDB uses an LSM-tree based storage engine that flushes memtables to SSTs for persistence. 
+But currently it only supports level 0. SST files in level 0 does not guarantee to contain only rows with disjoint time ranges. 
+That is to say, different SST files in level 0 may contain overlapped timestamps. 
+The consequence is, in order to retrieve rows in some time range, all files need to be scanned, which brings a lot of IO overhead.
+
+Also, just like other LSMT engines, delete/update to existing primary keys are converted to new rows with delete/update mark and appended to SSTs on flushing. 
+We need to merge the operations to same primary keys so that we don't have to go through all SST files to find the final state of these primary keys.  
+
+## Goal
+
+Implement a compaction framework to: 
+- maintain SSTs in timestamp order to accelerate queries with timestamp condition;
+- merge rows with same primary key;
+- purge expired SSTs;
+- accommodate other tasks like data rollup/indexing.
+
+
+## Overview
+
+Table compaction involves following components:
+- Compaction scheduler: run compaction tasks, limit the consumed resources;
+- Compaction strategy: find the SSTs to compact and determine the output files of compaction.
+- Compaction task: read the rows from input SSTs and write to the output files.
+
+## Implementation
+
+### Compaction scheduler
+
+`CompactionScheduler` is an executor that continuously polls and executes compaction request from a task queue. 
+
+```rust
+#[async_trait]
+pub trait CompactionScheduler {
+    /// Schedules a compaction task.
+    async fn schedule(&self, task: CompactionRequest) -> Result<()>;
+
+    /// Stops compaction scheduler.
+    async fn stop(&self) -> Result<()>;
+}
+```
+
+
+
+### Compaction triggering
+
+Currently, we can check whether to compact tables when memtable is flushed to SST.
+
+https://github.com/GreptimeTeam/greptimedb/blob/4015dd80752e1e6aaa3d7cacc3203cb67ed9be6d/src/storage/src/flush.rs#L245
+
+
+### Compaction strategy
+
+`CompactionStrategy` defines how to pick SSTs in all levels for compaction.   
+
+```rust
+pub trait CompactionStrategy {
+    fn pick(
+        &self,
+        ctx: CompactionContext,
+        levels: &LevelMetas,
+    ) -> Result<CompactionTask>;
+}
+```
+
+The most suitable compaction strategy for time-series scenario would be 
+a hybrid strategy that combines time window compaction with size-tired compaction, just like [Cassandra](https://cassandra.apache.org/doc/latest/cassandra/operating/compaction/twcs.html) and [ScyllaDB](https://docs.scylladb.com/stable/architecture/compaction/compaction-strategies.html#time-window-compaction-strategy-twcs) does.
+
+We can first group SSTs in level n into buckets according to some predefined time window. Within that window, 
+SSTs are compacted in a size-tired manner (find SSTs with similar size and compact them to level n+1). 
+SSTs from different time windows are neven compacted together.
+That strategy guarantees SSTs in each level are mainly sorted in timestamp order which boosts queries with 
+explicit timestamp condition, while size-tired compaction minimizes the impact to foreground writes. 
+
+### Alternatives
+
+Currently, GreptimeDB's storage engine [only support two levels](https://github.com/GreptimeTeam/greptimedb/blob/43aefc5d74dfa73b7819cae77b7eb546d8534a41/src/storage/src/sst.rs#L32).
+For level 0, we can start with a simple time-window based leveled compaction, which reads from all SSTs in level 0, 
+align them to time windows with a fixed duration, merge them with SSTs in level 1 within the same time window 
+to ensure there is only one sorted run in level 1.
