Flavio Junqueira commented on BOOKKEEPER-963:
---------------------------------------------
I'm missing a bit more motivation for this feature. We already allow multiple
ledger directories, so is it the case that you're bottlenecked on the journal
and you want to have multiple journals per bookie? Could you elaborate a bit
further on your motivation, the hardware you're targeting and such? [~mmerli]

>
> By configuring multiple journals, we can take advantage of the IO of multiple
> disks to increase the write throughput of a single bookie.
> Each journal will have its own journal and sync threads and writes will be
> assigned to a particular journal by hashing on the ledger id.
> In addition to using multiple physical disks, there can improvements even by
> using multiple journal on a single SSD device, because these disks can handle
> well multiple concurrent writes in different blocks of the disk.
