dd6a411e5e doc: add design docs directory (#49829)
issue: #49831

## What changed

Vendor Milvus design documents into this repository under
`docs/design-docs` as regular tracked files.

- Keep only the design document content and assets under
`docs/design-docs/design_docs/` and `docs/design-docs/assets/`.
- Remove standalone repository metadata from the vendored directory,
such as `README.md`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`, `MEP-TEMPLATE.md`, `COMMITTERS`,
`MAINTAINERS`, `OWNERS`, `OWNERS_ALIASES`, and `.gitignore`.
- Document the Milvus design document process in the main
`CONTRIBUTING.md`.
- Update Mergify and `tools/mgit.py` so feature PRs must provide an
in-repo design document path under `docs/design-docs/design_docs/`.

## Why

Milvus feature work should have an associated design document. Keeping
design docs directly in this repository makes them available from a
normal Milvus checkout and lets feature implementations include or link
the related design document in the same repository.

## Verification

- `git diff --check`
- `python3 -m unittest tools/test_mgit_design_doc.py`
- `python3 -m py_compile tools/mgit.py tools/test_mgit_design_doc.py`
- Parsed `.github/mergify.yml` with Python `yaml.safe_load`
- Confirmed `docs/design-docs` only contains `assets/` and
`design_docs/` at the top level

MEP: Add collection level auto compaction config

Current state: In Progress

ISSUE: [Enhancement]: Support collection level config to disable auto-compaction #23993

Keywords: Collection, Compaction, Config

Released: N/A

Summary

Compaction has a config item to control whether auto-compaction is enabled or not. This configuration is global and impacts all collections in system.

In some scenarios, we might want to control the granularity of auto-compaction switch so that it could be achieved that:

  • Disable auto-compaction during importing data to prevent rebuilt indexes
  • Disable auto-compaction during some test cases to make system behavior stable

Design

Add collection level attribute, attribute key is "collection.autocompaction.enabled"(see also pkg/common/common.go).

While handling all compaction signal, check collection level configuration:

  • If not set, use global auto-compaction setting
  • If config is valid, use collection level setting
  • If config value is invalid, fallback to global setting

How to change this setting

All collection-level attribute could be changed by AlterCollection API

Test Plan

Unit tests

Add unit tests for collection level auto compaction switch.

E2E Tests

Change some case to disable collection auto compaction to rectify test case behavior.

Integration Tests

  • Add test to check auto compaction disabled
