The IO pattern is 4KB random write(QD=8) ontop of a pre-filled RBD, using fio-librbd. The result looks strange, 1. in SDB(data part), we are expecting 4KB IO but actually we only get 2KB(4Sector). 2. There are not that much data written to Level 0+, only 0.53MB/s 3. Note that the avgqu-sz is very low compared to QD=8 in FIO, seems the problem is that we cannot commit the WAL fast enough.

I'll get some tests running now. Looks like everyone is jumping on the libaio bandwagon which naively seems like the right way to me too. Can you talk a little bit more about how you'd see fdatasync work in this case though vs the threaded implementation? > > Anyway, next up is probably wrangling rocksdb's log!
