This is an automated cherry-pick of #21656

First-time contributors' checklist

What is changed, added or deleted? (Required)

Which TiDB version(s) do your changes apply to? (Required)

Tips for choosing the affected version(s):

By default, CHOOSE MASTER ONLY so your changes will be applied to the next TiDB major or minor releases. If your PR involves a product feature behavior change or a compatibility change, CHOOSE THE AFFECTED RELEASE BRANCH(ES) AND MASTER.

For details, see tips for choosing the affected versions (in Chinese).

  • master (the latest development version)
  • v9.0 (TiDB 9.0 versions)
  • v8.5 (TiDB 8.5 versions)
  • v8.1 (TiDB 8.1 versions)
  • v7.5 (TiDB 7.5 versions)
  • v7.1 (TiDB 7.1 versions)
  • v6.5 (TiDB 6.5 versions)
  • v6.1 (TiDB 6.1 versions)
  • v5.4 (TiDB 5.4 versions)

What is the related PR or file link(s)?

Do your changes match any of the following descriptions?

  • Delete files
  • Change aliases
  • Need modification after applied to another branch
  • Might cause conflicts after applied to another branch

Summary of Changes

Hello @ti-chi-bot, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request updates the TiKV documentation to align with recent changes in how automatic RocksDB compaction is configured. It formalizes the deprecation of previous compaction-related parameters and introduces a new, more comprehensive set of configuration options under gc.auto-compaction. The aim is to provide users with up-to-date and accurate information for optimizing TiKV's storage performance through compaction management.

Highlights

  • Configuration Parameter Deprecation: Several older TiKV compaction configuration parameters under raftstore have been deprecated, including region-compact-check-interval, region-compact-check-step, region-compact-min-tombstones, and region-compact-tombstones-percent.
  • New Auto Compaction Parameters: A new set of gc.auto-compaction parameters has been introduced, providing more granular control over automatic RocksDB compaction. These include check-interval, tombstone-num-threshold, tombstone-percent-threshold, redundant-rows-threshold, redundant-rows-percent-threshold, and bottommost-level-force.
  • Documentation Updates: The documentation has been updated across multiple files to reflect these changes, providing clear guidance on the new parameters, their usage, and the deprecation of older settings, along with version-specific advice for managing compaction filters.

Code Review

This pull request updates the documentation for TiKV's auto compaction configuration. It correctly removes deprecated raftstore.region-compact-* parameters and adds the new gc.auto-compaction.* parameters across several documentation files. My review focuses on improving clarity and ensuring adherence to the documentation style guide. I've suggested minor rephrasing for better readability, and corrected several formatting issues, including missing backticks around configuration parameters in links and a missing hyperlink for consistency.


### `redundant-rows-percent-threshold` <span class="version-mark">New in v7.5.7 and v9.0.0</span>

+ The percentage of redundant MVCC rows required to trigger TiKV automatic compaction. Redundant rows include RocksDB tombstones, TiKV stale versions, and TiKV deletion tombstones. When the number of redundant MVCC rows reaches [`redundant-rows-threshold`](#redundant-rows-threshold-new-in-v757-and-v900), or when the percentage of these rows reaches `redundant-rows-percent-threshold`, TiKV triggers automatic compaction.

For consistency and better navigation, redundant-rows-percent-threshold should also be a link, similar to the other parameter references in this section.
