+To disable Titan for all existing and future data, you can take the following steps. Note that you can skip Step 2 because it greatly affects online traffic performance. In fact even without Step 2, the data compaction consumes extra I/O and CPU resources when it moves data from Titan to RocksDB, and performance will degrade (sometimes as much as 50%) when TiKV I/O or CPU resources are limited.

 ## Level Merge (experimental)
 
 In TiKV 4.0, [Level Merge](/storage-engine/titan-overview.md#level-merge), a new algorithm, is introduced to improve the performance of range query and to reduce the impact of Titan GC on the foreground write operations. You can enable Level Merge using the following option:
