another latency perf problem: rocksdb log is on bluefs and mainly uses append and fsync interface to complete WAL. I found the latency between kv transaction submitting isn't negligible and limit the transaction throughput. So what if we implement a async transaction submit in rocksdb side using callback way? It will decrease kv in queue latency. It would help rocksdb WAL performance close to FileJournal. And async interface will help control each kv transaction size and make transaction complete smoothly instead of tps spike with us precious.
