Summary:
In the current MultiGet, if the KV-pairs do not belong to the data blocks in the block cache, multiple blocks are read from a SST. It will trigger one block read for each block request and read them in parallel. In some cases, if some data blocks are adjacent in the SST, the reads for these blocks can be combined to a single large read, which can reduce the system calls and reduce the read latency if possible.
Considering to fill the block cache, if multiple data blocks are in the same memory buffer, we need to copy them to the heap separately. Therefore, only in the case that 1) data block compression is enabled, and 2) compressed block cache is null, we can do combined read. Otherwise, extra memory copy is needed, which may cause extra overhead. In the current case, data blocks will be uncompressed to a new memory space.
Also, in the case that 1) data block compression is enabled, and 2) compressed block cache is null, it is possible the data block is actually not compressed. In the current logic, these data blocks will not be added to the uncompressed_cache. So if memory buffer is shared and the data block is not compressed, the data block are copied to the head and fill the cache.
