Eviction verbose logging category analysis:

A detailed analysis of eviction-related logging messages has revealed three distinct categories:

• WT_VERB_EVICT: Used in multiple scenarios, including long eviction times, individual page evictions, and page marking for reconciliation.
• WT_VERB_EVICT_STUCK: Currently unused within the WiredTiger codebase.
• WT_VERB_EVICTSERVER: Used in multiple instances.

Proposed Simplification:

To streamline the eviction logging and enhance readability, I recommend consolidating all eviction-related messages under a single category, WT_VERB_EVICT. This unified approach will reduce complexity and improve maintainability.

Next Steps:

Review the code using all three categories and consolidate it under one category, WT_VERB_EVICTION.

By following these steps, we can effectively simplify the eviction verbose messaging system and improve code clarity.
