The option is a knob that allows to reject dictionary-aware compressors in the validation stage of CREATE/ALTER statements, and in the validation of `sstable_compression_user_table_options`. It was introduced in7d26d3c7cbto allow the admins of Scylla Cloud to selectively enable it in certain clusters. For more details, check: https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-enterprise/issues/5435 As of this series, we want to start offering dictionary compression as the default option in all clusters, i.e., treat it as a generally available feature. This makes the knob redundant. Additionally, making dictionary compression the default choice in `sstable_compression_user_table_options` creates an awkward dependency with the knob (disabling the knob should cause `sstable_compression_user_table_options` to fall back to a non-dict compressor as default). That may not be very clear to the end user. For these reasons, mark the option as "Deprecated", remove all relevant tests, and adjust the business logic as if dictionary compression is always available.

If you can use an existing folder, consider adding your test to it. New folders should be used for new large categories/subsystems, or when the test environment is significantly different from some existing suite, e.g. you plan to start scylladb with different configuration, and you intend to add many tests and would like them to reuse an existing Scylla cluster (clusters can be reused for tests within the same folder).
To add a new folder, create a new directory, and then
copy & edit its suite.ini.
