Note

Updates docs to reflect the new tier consolidation algorithm: add maxSkewThreshold/minDeletionRatio, mark/remove legacy segments*/minScore, and adjust descriptions across HTTP APIs, references, and release notes for 3.12 and 4.0.

• HTTP API (3.12 & 4.0):
  • Update tier policy to base on segment byte size skew; adjust descriptions/enums.
  • Add maxSkewThreshold (0.0–1.0, default 0.4) and minDeletionRatio (0.0–1.0, default 0.5) to consolidationPolicy.
  • Mark legacy options segmentsMin, segmentsMax, segmentsBytesFloor, minScore as only available up to v3.12.6 (and remove from 4.0 specs where applicable).
  • Maintain segmentsBytesMax; add availability notes and ranges.
• Reference docs:
  • Reflect new options and defaults; note deprecations/availability windows; switch tier description to “byte size skew”.
• Release notes (3.12 & 4.0):
  • Add sections announcing removal of legacy consolidation options and addition of new ones.
  • Add “New consolidation algorithm” summary and cross-links to updated docs.
