Does TiDB have a high watermark similar to Oracle? Delete cannot lower the high watermark; only truncate and drop can reclaim it.
My understanding: delete, truncate, and drop will all cause empty regions, and empty regions will merge. There shouldn’t be a concept of a high watermark, but I’m not sure. Asking for input from the experts.

There is no concept of high and low water levels.

There is no high watermark, but the MVCC data is still affected.

No, there is only the concept of health…

You can monitor the health of the table, and the status of the region can also be observed.
