Summary:
Now if we have iterate_upper_bound set, we continue read until get a key >= upper_bound. For a lot of cases that neighboring data blocks have a user key gap between them, our index key will be a user key in the middle to get a shorter size. For example, if we have blocks:
[a b c d][f g h]
Then the index key for the first block will be 'e'.
then if upper bound is any key between 'd' and 'e', for example, d1, d2, ..., d99999999999, we don't have to read the second block and also know that we have done our iteration by reaching the last key that smaller the upper bound already.
This diff can reduce RA in most cases.
