Sage, My understanding was rocksdb is already doing this kind of merge before flush. I thought It will always go through min_write_buffer_number_to_merge memTable files and merge the updates, but, it will not be able to merge if same key update came beyond min_write_buffer_number_to_merge files. Am I missing anything ?
