Description
[Forums: How to scale FoundationDB reads](https://forums.foundationdb.org/t/how-to-scale-foundation-db-reads/1108/) has GRV benchmarks and results that show that proxy-side GRV batching seems broken, and that client-side batching is very conservative.
In a sense, this isn't a surprising result, as I'm not aware that we have a GRV benchmark. So we should
1. implement a GRV benchmark for latency at a give throughput, and throughput at a given latency for nightly performance tests. It's also worthwhile to add performance tests that are essentially GRV benchmarks as well: reads per second when one opens a new transaction for each read, and writes/s where one key is written per transaction.
2. Graph GRV latency vs GRV requests/s
3. Improve it
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the linked FoundationDB forum benchmarks and the repository's existing nightly performance tests. Define GRV latency at a target throughput, throughput at a target latency, and transaction-level read/write measurements before determining how to graph the results. Done means the benchmarks and graphs exist and GRV batching is improved based on their results.
