             Summary: Improve scan efficiency of LSM components
                 Key: ASTERIXDB-2252
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ASTERIXDB-2252
             Project: Apache AsterixDB
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: STO - Storage
            Reporter: Chen Luo
            Assignee: Chen Luo


The current (full) scan on LSM components is not very efficient, especially on hard disks, in two aspects:
 # We often need to use a priority queue to merge results from multiple components. However, we only read a page at a time, which incurs a lot of random I/O overhead on hard disks.
 # Full scan can often fill up (and clean up) the buffer cache. This problem is especially notable when we do merge. After a merge operation, the buffer cache would be filled up pages of old components, which would not be accessed by future queries.
