Description
based on https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/issues/2423
This is also a feature in other table formats, where each rewrite group is committed separately so progress is partially saved. The downside is that it could potentially make a lot of commits, so some control knob might be necessary (e.g. 1 commit per X minutes or Y percent of the total progress)

Research direction
Start by reading the linked LanceDB issue #2423 and locating the existing compaction flow; this issue names no files or tests. The work is done when rewrite groups can be committed separately so partial progress is preserved, with a defined control for commit frequency such as time or percentage thresholds.
