CAUTION - Shoule only be used for expiration of older SST files without value-level TTL metadata, or for expiring files with incorrect value-level expiration. Misuse can result in the deletion of live data!
file_expiration_value_ttl_overrides_table_ttl	DEFAULT: false TAGS: unsafe,runtime DESCRIPTION: When deciding whether a file has expired, assume that any file with value-level TTL metadata can be expired solely on that metadata. Useful for the expiration of files earlier than the table-level TTL that is set. CAUTION - Should only be used in workloads where the user is certain all data is written with a value-level TTL. Misuse can result in the deletion of live data!

force_single_shard_waiter_retry_ms	DEFAULT: 30000 TAGS: N/A DESCRIPTION: The amount of time to wait before sending the client of a single shard transaction a retryable error. Such clients are periodically sent a retryable error to ensure we don't maintain waiters in the wait queue for unresponsive or disconnected clients. This is not required for multi-tablet transactions which have a transaction ID and are rolled back if the transaction coordinator does not receive a heartbeat, since for these we will eventually discover that the transaction has been rolled back and remove the waiter. If set to zero, this will default to 30s.
forward_redis_requests	DEFAULT: true TAGS: N/A DESCRIPTION: If false, the redis op will not be served if it's not a local request. The op response will be set to the redis error '-MOVED partition_key 0.0.0.0:0'. This works with jedis which only looks at the MOVED part of the reply and ignores the rest. For now, if this flag is true, we will only attempt to read from leaders, so redis_allow_reads_from_followers will be ignored.

inbound_rpc_memory_limit	DEFAULT: 0 TAGS: N/A DESCRIPTION: Inbound RPC memory limit
index_backfill_additional_delay_before_backfilling_ms	DEFAULT: 0 TAGS: evolving,runtime DESCRIPTION: Operations that are received by the tserver, and have decided how the indexes need to be updated (based on the IndexPermission), will not be added to the list of current transactions until they are replicated/applied. This delay allows for the GetSafeTime method to wait for such operations to be replicated/applied. Ideally, this value should be set to be something larger than the raft-heartbeat-interval but can be as high as the client_rpc_timeout if we want to be more conservative.
index_backfill_upperbound_for_user_enforced_txn_duration_ms	DEFAULT: 65000 TAGS: evolving,runtime DESCRIPTION: For Non-Txn tables, it is impossible to know at the tservers whether or not an 'old transaction' is still active. To avoid having such old transactions, we assume a bound on the duration of such transactions (during the backfill process) and wait it out. This flag denotes a conservative upper bound on the duration of such user enforced transactions.
index_backfill_wait_for_old_txns_ms	DEFAULT: 0 TAGS: evolving,runtime DESCRIPTION: Index backfill needs to wait for transactions that started before the WRITE_AND_DELETE phase to commit or abort before choosing a time for backfilling the index. This is the max time that the GetSafeTime call will wait for, before it resorts to attempt aborting old transactions. This is necessary to guard against the pathological active transaction that never commits from blocking the index backfill forever.

The total failure timeout in milliseconds is raft_heartbeat_interval_ms times leader_failure_max_missed_heartbeat_periods. The value passed to this flag may be fractional.
leader_lease_duration_ms	DEFAULT: 2000 TAGS: N/A DESCRIPTION: Leader lease duration. A leader keeps establishing a new lease or extending the existing one with every UpdateConsensus. A new server is not allowed to serve as a leader (i.e. serve up-to-date read requests or acknowledge write requests) until a lease of this duration has definitely expired on the old leader's side.
linear_backoff_ms	DEFAULT: 1 TAGS: N/A DESCRIPTION: Number of milliseconds added to delay while using linear backoff strategy.
local_ip_for_outbound_sockets	DEFAULT: TAGS: experimental DESCRIPTION: IP to bind to when making outgoing socket connections. This must be an IP address of the form A.B.C.D, not a hostname. Advanced parameter, subject to change.

Logs may be still retained for a longer amount of time if they are necessary for correct restart. This should be set long enough such that a tablet server which has temporarily failed can be restarted within the given time period. If a server is down for longer than this amount of time, it is possible that its tablets will be re-replicated on other machines.
log_min_segments_to_retain	DEFAULT: 2 TAGS: advanced,runtime DESCRIPTION: The minimum number of past log segments to keep at all times, regardless of what is required for durability. Must be at least 1.

This GC will clear the tcmalloc page heap freelist. A higher value implies less aggressive GC, i.e. higher memory overhead, but more efficient in terms of runtime.

memory_limit_hard_bytes	DEFAULT: 0 TAGS: stable DESCRIPTION: Maximum amount of memory this daemon should use in bytes.

memory_limit_soft_percentage	DEFAULT: 85 TAGS: advanced DESCRIPTION: Percentage of the hard memory limit that this daemon may consume before memory throttling of writes begins. The greater the excess, the higher the chance of throttling. In general, a lower soft limit leads to smoother write latencies but decreased throughput, and vice versa for a higher soft limit.
