Hi Sage/Sam, As discussed in today's performance meeting , I am planning to change the queue_transactions() interface to the following. int queue_transactions(Sequencer *osr, list<TransactionRef>& tls, Context *onreadable, Context *ondisk=0, Context *onreadable_sync=0, TrackedOpRef op = TrackedOpRef(), ThreadPool::TPHandle *handle = NULL) ; typedef unique_ptr<Transaction> TransactionRef; IMO , there is a problem with this approach. The interface like apply_transaction(), queue_transaction() etc. basically the interfaces taking single transaction pointer and internally forming a list to call the queue_transactions() also needs to be changed to accept TransactionRef which will be *bad*. The reason is while preparing list internally we need to move the uniqueue_ptr and callers won't be aware of that. Also, now changing every interfaces (and callers) that is taking Transaction* will produce a very big delta (and big testing effort as well). So, should we *reconsider* co-existing both queue_transactions() interfaces and call the new one from the IO path ?
