Description

We have added the ability to write to multiple bases in #4702 .

Create this issue to track adding multi-base support for all write operations, including update, merge-insert, compaction, etc.

This also needs to happen in both rust, python and java (java does not have any integration yet)

There can be many sub-tasks depending on how we divide this, create this parent task in case anyone is interested in taking any sub-part.

Research direction

Start by reading the multi-base implementation from #4702, then map the write operations named here—update, merge-insert, and compaction—across the Rust, Python, and Java integrations. Done means multi-base support covers all relevant write operations in each integration, including Java where integration is not yet present.
