Bug(compaction): Unable to trigger split in time, when barrier latency is high

[Li0k]

Describe the bug

In Hummock, the decision to split a compaction group is made by counting the flush throughput of the table.

risingwave/src/meta/src/hummock/manager/mod.rs

Line 2597 in 41f4ad5

async fn on_handle_check_split_multi_group(&self) {

To minimize the effects of jitter, we introduce the concept of window_size to make the statistics more accurate and add new statistics to the window at each commit_epoch. https://github.com/risingwavelabs/risingwave/blob/41f4ad55c636836fc9c7f7860ada535e26dbd6ca/src/meta/src/hummock/manager/mod.rs# L1779

Recently, we found that when a Barrier contains a large amount of data, we can't update the statistical information in time (affected by the barrier latency), and thus can't trigger the split in time.

I'm assuming that the write amplification within cg2 / cg3 is still due to the data misalignment factor.
It doesn't seem reasonable to perform a split directly during the new table creation or recovery phase. (We don't support merge at the moment).

I prefer to do some data analysis in the flush phase and perform a split on the SST to promote boundary alignment.

By split you mean putting data related to specific table ids in separate SSTs, not splitting compaction group, right?

If that is the case, is this a permanent change (applied to all future data related to these tables) or a temporary change (only applied to data related to these tables in some period)?
