> RocksDB allows the use of DirectIO for read operations to bypass the Linux
> Page Cache. To understand the impact of Linux Page Cache on performance, one
> can run a heavy workload on a single-tasked Task Manager with a container
> memory limit identical to the TM process memory. Running this same workload
> on a TM with no container memory limit will result in better performances but
> with the host memory exceeding the TM requirement.
> Linux Page Cache are of course useful but can give false results when
> benchmarking the Managed Memory used by RocksDB. DirectIO is typically
> enabled for benchmarks on working set estimation [Zwaenepoel et
> al.|[https://arxiv.org/abs/1702.04323].]
> I propose to add a configuration key allowing users to enable the use of
> DirectIO for reads thanks to the RocksDB API. This configuration would be
> disabled by default.
