question about read concurrency [JIRA: RIAK-2330] #228
Description
I was looking at the code of bitcask and was looking for a way to improve the read concurrency coming from different processes. Questions follow:
- if I open a database as read only in 1 process, and read_write in another, will it be possible to catch novelty in the read_only database? O I could use 1 process for writes and one or more for reads?
- Looking at ìterator/3` (https://github.com/basho/bitcask/blob/develop/src/bitcask.erl#L536-L538) is this possible if know the keydir to open the iterator in another erlang process? The general idea would be having multiple iterator workers processes without seeing stuck to one process.
