Abstract
A distributed database compaction system can perform compaction for transactional queries in an asynchronous matter without affecting completion of the queries. The compaction system can implement asynchronous transformation of key pairs in the database, and older keys can be periodically purged using a scheduled compactor. Subsequent queries use the compacted stored keys to perform efficient queries with direct reads of committed transactions and more efficient access to key values stores of the distributed database.
