MVCCIterator.CheckForKeyCollisions()
is used byAddSSTable
to checkfor key collisions when
DisallowShadowing
is set. If it encounters anyintents, it returns
WriteIntentError
to resolve these before retrying.However, this returned an error for each individual intent, which has
quadratic performance. This patch changes it to instead collect and
return a batch of intents, for more efficient intent resolution.
The batch size is controlled by the existing setting
storage.mvcc.max_intents_per_error
, which defaults to 5000.Resolves #71697.
Release note (performance improvement): Improved
IMPORT INTO
performance in cases where it encounters large numbers of unresolved
write intents.
