Hello and thank you for RocksDB,
I noticed when using log_write_bench that writes were always 88 bytes:
> strace -e trace=write ./log_write_bench -num_records 2 2>&1 | head -n 2
write(3, "\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371"..., 88) = 88
write(3, "\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371\371"..., 88) = 88
> strace -e trace=write ./log_write_bench -record_size 4096 -num_records 2 2>&1 | head -n 2
write(3, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 88) = 88
write(3, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 88) = 88
I think this should be:
<< record.assign('X', FLAGS_record_size);
>> record.assign(FLAGS_record_size, 'X');
So fill and not buffer. Otherwise I always see writes of size 88 (the decimal value for chr "X").
string& assign (const char* s, size_t n);
buffer - Copies the first n characters from the array of characters pointed by s.
string& assign (size_t n, char c);
fill - Replaces the current value by n consecutive copies of character c.
perl -le 'print ord "X"'
88
With the change:
> strace -e trace=write ./log_write_bench -record_size 4096 -num_records 2 2>&1 | head -n 2
write(3, "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"..., 4096) = 4096
write(3, "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"..., 4096) = 4096
> strace -e trace=write ./log_write_bench -num_records 2 2>&1 | head -n 2
write(3, "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"..., 249) = 249
write(3, "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"..., 249) = 249
Thanks.

Summary: A simple benchmark that simulates WAL append. It can be used to test different platform/file system's performance on WAL.
Test Plan: run it.
