 VictoriaLogs performs data compactions in background in order to keep good performance characteristics when accepting new data.
 These compactions (merges) are performed independently on per-day partitions.
 This means that compactions are stopped for per-day partitions if no new data is ingested into these partitions.

+Sometimes it is necessary to trigger compactions for old partitions. In this case forced compaction may be initiated on the specified per-day partition
 by sending request to `/internal/force_merge?partition_prefix=YYYYMMDD`,
 where `YYYYMMDD` is per-day partition name. For example, `http://victoria-logs:9428/internal/force_merge?partition_prefix=20240921` would initiate forced
 merge for September 21, 2024 partition. The call to `/internal/force_merge` returns immediately, while the corresponding forced merge continues running in background.
