rt_merge_iops
rt_merge_iops
A maximum number of I/O operations (per second) that the RT chunks merge thread is allowed to start. Optional, default is 0 (no limit). Added in 2.1.1-beta.
This directive lets you throttle down the I/O impact arising from
the OPTIMIZE statements. It is guaranteed that all the
RT optimization activity will not generate more disk iops (I/Os per second)
than the configured limit. Modern SATA drives can perform up to around 100 I/O operations per
second, and limiting rt_merge_iops can reduce search performance degradation caused by merging.
Example:
rt_merge_iops = 40
