Hi Sage/Sam,
As discussed in today's performance meeting , I am planning to change the 
queue_transactions() interface to the following.

  int queue_transactions(Sequencer *osr, list<TransactionRef>& tls,
                         Context *onreadable, Context *ondisk=0,
                         Context *onreadable_sync=0,
                         TrackedOpRef op = TrackedOpRef(),
                         ThreadPool::TPHandle *handle = NULL) ;

typedef unique_ptr<Transaction> TransactionRef;


IMO , there is a problem with this approach.

The interface like apply_transaction(), queue_transaction() etc. basically the 
interfaces taking single transaction pointer and internally forming a list to 
call the queue_transactions() also needs to be changed to accept TransactionRef 
which will be *bad*. The reason is while preparing list internally we need to 
move the uniqueue_ptr and callers won't be aware of that.

Also, now changing every interfaces (and callers) that is taking Transaction* 
will produce a very big delta (and big testing effort as well). 

So, should we *reconsider* co-existing both  queue_transactions() interfaces 
and call the new one from the IO path ?

Thanks & Regards
Somnath
