* fix/file-group-in-compaction: ### Enhance Compaction Logic with File Grouping - **`run.rs`**: Introduced `FileGroup` struct to manage groups of `FileHandle` objects, allowing for more efficient compaction operations. Updated `Ranged` and `Item` trait implementations to work with `FileGroup`. - **`test_util.rs`**: Added `new_file_handle_with_sequence` function to support file handles with sequence numbers, enhancing test utilities. - **`twcs.rs`**: Modified `TwcsPicker` to utilize `FileGroup` for managing files within windows, improving compaction logic. Updated `Window` struct to use `HashMap` for storing `FileGroup` objects. - **`version_util.rs`**: Updated version control utilities to handle sequence numbers in file metadata, aligning with new compaction logic. Signed-off-by: Lei, HUANG <lhuang@greptime.com> * fix/file-group-in-compaction: ### Add Test for File Group Assignment in TWCS - **Enhancements in `twcs.rs`:** - Added a new test `test_assign_file_groups_to_windows` to verify the correct assignment of file groups to windows. - Enhanced `test_assign_compacting_to_windows` with a new case to ensure files with overlapping time ranges and the same sequence are treated as one `FileGroup`. Signed-off-by: Lei, HUANG <lhuang@greptime.com> * fix/file-group-in-compaction: **Enhance Compaction Task Documentation and Initialization** - **`run.rs`**: Added documentation for `FileGroup` to clarify its role in representing a group of files created by the same compaction task. - **`twcs.rs`**: Introduced comments in the `Window` struct to explain the mapping of file sequences to file groups, indicating files created from the same compaction task. Simplified the initialization of the `files` hashmap using `HashMap::from`.

Introduction
GreptimeDB is an open-source, cloud-native database purpose-built for the unified collection and analysis of observability data (metrics, logs, and traces). Whether you’re operating on the edge, in the cloud, or across hybrid environments, GreptimeDB empowers real-time insights at massive scale — all in one system.
Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Unified Observability Data | Store metrics, logs, and traces as timestamped, contextual wide events. Query via SQL, PromQL, and streaming. |
| High Performance & Cost Effective | Written in Rust, with a distributed query engine, rich indexing, and optimized columnar storage, delivering sub-second responses at PB scale. |
| Cloud-Native Architecture | Designed for Kubernetes, with compute/storage separation, native object storage (AWS S3, Azure Blob, etc.) and seamless cross-cloud access. |
| Developer-Friendly | Access via SQL/PromQL interfaces, REST API, MySQL/PostgreSQL protocols, and popular ingestion protocols. |
| Flexible Deployment | Deploy anywhere: edge (including ARM/Android) or cloud, with unified APIs and efficient data sync. |

Troubleshooting:
- Cannot connect to the database? Ensure that ports
4000,4001,4002, and4003are not blocked by a firewall or used by other services. - Failed to start? Check the container logs with
docker logs greptimefor further details.
