Summary: sst_dump can issue many file reads from the file system. This doesn't work well with file systems without a OS cache, especially remote file systems. In order to mitigate this problem, several improvements are done: 1. --readahead_size is added, so that users can specify readahead size when scanning the data. 2. Force a 512KB tail readahead, which prevents three I/Os for footer, meta index and property blocks and hopefully index and filter blocks too. 3. Consoldiate SSTDump's I/Os before opening the file for read. Use the same file prefetch buffer.

RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage
RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team. It is built on earlier work on LevelDB by Sanjay Ghemawat (sanjay@google.com) and Jeff Dean (jeff@google.com)
This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast key-value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives. It has a Log-Structured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs between Write-Amplification-Factor (WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF) and Space-Amplification-Factor (SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions, making it especially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.
