Summary: sync_file_range is not always asyncronous and thus can block writes if we do this for WAL in the foreground thread. See more here: http://yoshinorimatsunobu.blogspot.com/2014/03/how-syncfilerange-really-works.html Some users don't want us to call sync_file_range on WALs. Some other do. Thus, I'm adding a separate option wal_bytes_per_sync to control calling sync_file_range on WAL files. bytes_per_sync will apply only to table files now. Test Plan: no more sync_file_range for WAL as evidenced by strace Reviewers: yhchiang, rven, sdong Reviewed By: sdong Subscribers: dhruba, leveldb Differential Revision: https://reviews.facebook.net/D38253
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 specially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.
