/cc @cockroachdb/release
Cockroach uses a single long running rocksdb instance for the entire
process lifetime, which could be many months. By default, rocksdb tracks
filesystem state changes in a log file called the MANIFEST, which grows
without bound until the instance is re-opened. We should bound the
maximum file size of rocksdb MANIFEST using the corresponding rocksdb
option to prevent unbounded growth.
The MANIFEST file grew to several GBs in size in a customer bug report
but that was probably because of some other bad behavior in rocksdb
state management. We do want to bound the MANIFEST size in such cases as
well.
Release note: None
