Hi Gary,

I want to prioritize it because the application can use up to 90% of maximum 
storage IOPS and it’s normal (we have continuous ingestion with a lot of 
writes/full document lookups). Unfortunately, SSD is not an option at this time.

Regards,
Oleksii

Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] Priorities for queries

Olekseii,

Why would you want to prioritize queries the way you expressed?  It would not 
make sense to deprioritize disk i/o from happening unless you have some issues 
with disk performance. Consider disk i/o from stand merges to be a natural part 
of doing business in MarkLogic and any system that does "log level compaction". 
 If you are creating documents in bulk and at same time running queries there 
are a few techniques you could employ, such as using "fast-data directory" 
attached to SSD or figure out why your disk's are slow using dd command.  Again 
without knowing your write/read patterns and cardinalities/shape of your data 
its a very hard problem to answer correctly.  But you may want to look at 
pausing stand merges using blackouts for periods of high query load.  But this 
should be done with extreme caution to your query patterns.  Happy to discuss 
directly with you.  Feel free to email for that discussion.

Regards,

Gary Vidal
