Questions regarding how beginners can understand the detailed design related to garbage collection in the Titan source code.

Hello, as a beginner in Titan, I haven't found any detailed design documents related to Titan. While researching the relevant design in the source code, I found it difficult to understand some of the explanations in the comments. For example, in the enum class FileState : int:

enum class FileState : int { kInit, // file never at this state kNormal, kPendingLSM, // waiting keys adding to LSM kBeingGC, // being gced kPendingGC, // output of gc, waiting gc finish and keys adding to LSM kObsolete, // already gced, but wait to be physical deleted kToMerge, // need merge to new blob file in next compaction };

I am having trouble understanding the difference between the kPendingLSM and kPendingGC states in terms of their specific scenarios. Please answer my question regarding kPendingLSM and kPendingGC, and if possible, provide a link to the relevant detailed design documents. I would greatly appreciate it.

There is no detailed design for FileState. For kPendingLSM, the blob file is created during flush. For kPendingGC, the blob file is created during GC,
