> In addition to regular put/get/delete RocksDB provides a fourth operation, merge. This essentially provides an optimized read/update/write path in a single operation. One of the built-in (C++) merge operators exposed over the Java API is a counter. We should be able to leverage this for a more efficient implementation of count()
>
> (Note: Unfortunately it seems unlikely we can use this to optimize general aggregations, even if RocksJava allowed for a custom merge operator, unless we provide a way for the user to specify and connect a C++ implemented aggregator – otherwise we incur too much cost crossing the jni for a net performance benefit)
