This is a translator to improve the performance of typical,
sequential directory reads (i.e., ls). readdir-ahead begins
preloading the contents of a directory on open and serves readdir
requests from the preloaded content. readdir-ahead is currently
implemented to only handle the single threaded directory read
case.
readdir-ahead is currently disabled by default. It can be enabled
with the following command:
gluster volume set <volname> readdir-ahead on
The following are results of a getdents test on a single brick
volume.
Test info:
- Single VM, gluster client/server.
- Volume mounted with native client using --gid-timeout=2.
- getdents on single directory with 100k 0-byte files.
Test results:
- !readdir-ahead
read 3120080 bytes from offset 0
3 MiB, 4348 ops, 0:00:07.00 (416.590 KiB/sec and 594.4737 ops/sec)
