11.0.3 (03/03/2026)

Public API Changes

• Relax option sanitization for kv ratio compaction

11.0.2 (02/26/2026)

Public API Changes

• Revert removing deprecated DB::Open raw pointer variants in db.h

11.0.0 (02/23/2026)

New Features

• Added support for storing wide-column entity column values in blob files. When min_blob_size is configured, large column values in wide-column entities will be stored in blob files, reducing SST file size and improving read performance.
• Added CompactionOptionsFIFO::max_data_files_size to support FIFO compaction trimming based on combined SST and blob file sizes. Added CompactionOptionsFIFO::use_kv_ratio_compaction to enable a capacity-derived intra-L0 compaction strategy optimized for BlobDB workloads, producing uniform-sized compacted files for predictable FIFO trimming.
• Include interpolation search as an alternative to binary search, which typically performs better when keys are uniformly distributed. This is exposed as a new table option index_block_search_type. The default is binary_search.

Public API Changes

• Added new virtual methods AbortAllCompactions() and ResumeAllCompactions() to the DB class. Added new Status::SubCode::kCompactionAborted to indicate a compaction was aborted. Added Status::IsCompactionAborted() helper method to check if a status represents an aborted compaction.
• Drop support for reading (and writing) SST files using BlockBasedTableOptions.format_version < 2, which hasn't been the default format for about 10 years. An upgrade path is still possible with full compaction using a RocksDB version >= 4.6.0 and < 11.0.0 and then using the newer version.
• Remove deprecated raw DB* variants of DB::Open and related functions. Some other minor public APIs were updated as a result
• Remove deprecated DB::MaxMemCompactionLevel()
• Remove useless option CompressedSecondaryCacheOptions::compress_format_version
• Remove deprecated DB option skip_checking_sst_file_sizes_on_db_open. The option was deprecated in 10.5.0 and has been a no-op since then. File size validation is now always performed in parallel during DB open.
• Remove deprecated SliceTransform::InRange() virtual method and the in_range callback parameter from rocksdb_slicetransform_create() in the C API. InRange() was never called by RocksDB and existed only for backward compatibility.
• Remove deprecated, unused APIs and options: ReadOptions::managed and ColumnFamilyOptions::snap_refresh_nanos. Corresponding C and Java APIs are also removed.
• Remove deprecated SstFileWriter::Add() method (use Put() instead) and the deprecated skip_filters parameter from SstFileWriter constructors (use BlockBasedTableOptions::filter_policy set to nullptr to skip filter generation instead).

Behavior Changes

• Change the default value of CompactionOptionsUniversal::reduce_file_locking from false to true to improve write stall and reduce read regression

Bug Fixes

• Fix longstanding failures that can arise from reading and/or compacting old DB dirs with range deletions (likely from version < 5.19.0) in many newer versions.
• Fix a bug where WritePrepared/WriteUnprepared TransactionDB with two_write_queues=true could experience "sequence number going backwards" corruption during recovery from a background error, due to allocated-but-not-published sequence numbers not being synced before creating new WAL files.

Performance Improvements

• Add a new table option separate_key_value_in_data_block. When set to true keys and values will be stored separately in the data block, which can result in higher cpu cache hit rate and better compression. Works best with data blocks with sufficient restart intervals and large values. Previous versions of RocksDB will reject files written using this option.
