> When EOS is turned on, the commit interval is set quite low (100ms) and all
> the store layers are flushed during a commit. This is necessary for
> forwarding records in the cache to the changelog, but unfortunately also
> forces rocksdb to flush the current memtable before it's full. The result is
> a large number of small writes to disk, losing the benefits of batching, and
> a large number of very small L0 files that are likely to slow compaction.
> Since we have to delete the stores to recreate from scratch anyways during an
> unclean shutdown with EOS, we may as well skip flushing the innermost
> StateStore during a commit and only do so during a graceful shutdown, before
> a rebalance, etc. This is currently blocked on a refactoring of the state
> store layers to allow decoupling the flush of the caching layer from the
> actual state store.
> Note that this is especially problematic with EOS due to the necessarily-low
> commit interval, but still hurts even with at-least-once and a much larger
> commit interval.
