-------------------------------------------
I'm ready to help with the buffer patch if Melvin can rebase.
> Improve SSTableReader.load() when loading index files

> * when we create BufferredRandomAccessFile, we pass skipCache=true. This
> hurts the read performance because we always process the index files
> sequentially. Simple fix would be set it to false.
> * multiple index files of a single column family can be loaded in parallel.
> This buys a lot when you have multiple super large index files.
> * we may also change how we buffer. By using BufferredRandomAccessFile, for
> every read, we need bunch of checking like
> - do we need to rebuffer?
> - isEOF()?
> - assertions
> These can be simplified to some extent. We can blindly buffer the index
> file by chunks and process the buffer until a key lies across boundary of a
> chunk. Then we rebuffer and start from the beginning of the partially read
> key. Conceptually, this is same as what BRAF does but w/o the overhead in the
> read**() methods in BRAF.
