ethdb/pebble: adjust the number of memory tables (ethereum#31970)
This pull request adjusts the number of allowed memory tables in Pebble.
Pebble allows configuring an arbitrary number of memory tables to hold
unflushed data. When the current memtable becomes full, it is scheduled
for flushing, and a new memtable is allocated to accept subsequent
writes. However, if too many memtables accumulate and are waiting to be
flushed, subsequent writes will stall.
Originally, only two memtables were configured, each with a size of 512
MB for Ethereum mainnet. While this setup works well under normal
conditions, it becomes problematic under heavy write loads. In such scenarios,
flushing is only triggered when more than 512 MB of data is pending, which may
not be responsive enough. Even worse, if compactions are running
concurrently, flushing memtables can become slow due to the heavy IO
overhead, leading to write stalls across the system.
This pull request tries to mitigate the performance degradation by having
more memory tables but with a smaller size. In this case, the pending
writes can be flushed more smoothly and responsively.1 parent 39b4a35 commit f06e02f
