Hi Yehuda, Thanks for your answers.
The situation behind these questions is we found that an application data load is > 512KB and <4MB (maybe < 1 MB more precisely). The GET request usually requires 2 rados read ops. If there is a way we can configure the RGW_MAX_CHUNK_SIZE to a number between 512KB and 1MB, only 1 read op will be needed. So we can get total latency improved much even the first byte latency increased very little.
