> Key: BOOKKEEPER-1041
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BOOKKEEPER-1041
> Project: Bookkeeper
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: bookkeeper-server
> Reporter: Venkateswararao Jujjuri (JV)
> Assignee: Charan Reddy Guttapalem
>
> Current bookkeeper is tuned for rotational HDDs. It has one active entrylog,
> and all the ledger/entries go to the same entrylog until it is rotated out.
> This is perfect for HDDs as seeks and moving head allover the disk platter is
> very expensive. But this is very inefficient for HDDs, as each HDD can handle
> multiple parallel writers, also this method is extremely inefficient for
> compaction as it causes write amplification and inefficient disk space usage.
> Our proposal is to have multiple active entrylogs and a configuration param
> on how many parallel entrylogs the system can have. This way one can have
> ability to configure to have less (may be one) ledger per entrylog.
