		  * For example, if all parts have equal size, it means, that at least 'base' number of parts should be merged.
		  * If parts has non-uniform sizes, then minumum number of parts to merge is effectively increased.
		  * This behaviour balances merge-tree workload.
		  * It called 'base', because merge-tree depth could be estimated as logarithm with that base.
		  *
		  * If base is higher - then tree gets more wide and narrow, lowering write amplification.
		  * If base is lower - then merges occurs more frequently, lowering number of parts in average.
		  *
		  * We need some balance between write amplification and number of parts.

		  * 1. Total number of parts in partition. If too much - then base is lowered.
		  * It means: when too much parts - do merges more urgently.
		  *
		  * 2. Minimum age of parts participating in merge. If higher age - then base is lowered.
		  * It means: do less wide merges only rarely.
		  *
		  * 3. Sum size of parts participating in merge. If higher - then more age is required to lower base. So, base is lowered slower.
		  * It means: for small parts, it's worth to merge faster, even not so wide or balanced.
		  *
		  * We have multivariative dependency. Let it be logarithmic of size and multi-linear by other variables,
		  *  between some boundary points, and constant outside.
