Summary: Right, when reading from option files, no readahead is used and 8KB buffer is used. It might introduce high latency if the file system provide high latency and doesn't do readahead. Instead, introduce a readahead to the file. When calling inside DB, infer the value from options.log_readahead. Otherwise, a default 512KB readahead size is used. Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/6372 Test Plan: Add --log_readahead_size in db_bench. Run it with several options and observe read size from option files using strace.

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.
