Hi Junhui,

I don't get the point why there is unnecessary merging in the upper
layer, and how the unnecessary merging can be avoided by set a queue limit.

And from the testing, I see total data size is around 21GB which is not
convinced enough. Is it possible to use a large enough data size, e.g.
512GB or 1TB ?

Thanks.
