> While looking into the performance of the integration test written for KUDU-2251 (https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/8951/ revision 6), Todd and I found that the on-disk deltafiles written are about 3x larger than expected. The culprit is an optimization in the CFile value index which is [turned off for delta files|https://github.com/apache/kudu/blob/branch-1.6.x/src/kudu/tablet/deltafile.cc#L106-L107]. The optimization truncates large keys after the first unique byte between sequential values. The deltafile values, in the case of this integration test, include the small {{DeltaKey}}, and the 8KiB updated value. As a result the BTree interior nodes are being completely filled by only ~4 values ([32KiB cblock size by default|https://github.com/apache/kudu/blob/branch-1.6.x/src/kudu/tablet/deltafile.cc#L58-L60]). This makes the BTree far less effective, and means that the full updated data is written many times. We expect fixing this will improve performance for update-heavy workloads with large values (for example YCSB).
