To control the number of parts per table and implement ② above, ClickHouse continuously merges ([per partition](/partitions#per-partition-merges)) smaller parts into larger ones in the background until they reach a compressed size of approximately [~150 GB](/operations/settings/merge-tree-settings#max-bytes-to-merge-at-max-space-in-pool).

The `merge level` of a part is incremented by one with each additional merge. A level of `0` means the part is new and has not been merged yet. Parts that were merged into larger parts are marked as [inactive](/operations/system-tables/parts) and finally deleted after a [configurable](/operations/settings/merge-tree-settings#old-parts-lifetime) time (8 minutes by default). Over time, this creates a **tree** of merged parts. Hence the name [merge tree](/engines/table-engines/mergetree-family) table.
