2020-02-15 17:22:26 UTC - John Pradeep: Hi Guys, I have a quick question regarding bookkeeper - As I understand, • various entries for different ledgers are aggregated & interleaved in a single `entry log` • a sperate index file is used for every ledger which has offsets to the entry log I am just trying to understand the advantages of storing all ledger entries interleaved in the entry log file in contrast to having specific files for each ledger. it may be because flushing a single write ahead (entry log) file is efficient compared to flushing multiple files for each ledger, is that the only reason or are there any other advantages? ---- 2020-02-15 17:50:25 UTC - Enrico Olivelli: Usually readers read from cache and not from disk, so having less files is better. Btw in BK you have an option to create one file per ledger. ---- 2020-02-15 18:44:46 UTC - John Pradeep: Thanks @Enrico Olivelli ----
