Feature #18961
Updated by Peter Amstutz 10 months ago
Use something like the following arv-mount strategy for prefetch: When a read happens on a file, look at the next N blocks the make up the _manifest stream_ file and issue prefetch requests for those blocks. These blocks get loaded into the cache so they are ready to go when they are needed. By looking ahead in the stream rather than just the file, this also works for manifests containing small files which are stored as 1 block per file. There should be a config knob to control how much data or blocks are prefetched so that sites can experiment with optimal throughput.
