   Kong is migrating its dbless backend to LMDB. For effectiveness, multiple files can't win an embedded database.
   
   But multiple files may be a good solution for middle-scale configuration.
   
   What about using a directory to configure, and merging all files into one?
   For example,
   
   ```
   conf-dir/
   routes-xxx.yml # we don't need `apisix-` prefix if we have a directory
   routes-yyy.yml
   upstreams-xxx.yml
   ...
   ```
   
   ```
   # routes-xxx.yml
   routes:
     -
       uri: /hello
       upstream:
         nodes:
           "127.0.0.1:1980": 1
         type: roundrobin
     ...
   ```
   
   We can keep the list in memory and update the data if one of the files changes.
   
   It is only my idea. Since this feature is not trivial, let's discuss it for several days before coding. Ideas are welcome!
