Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Our application has a high throughput of logData, using BatchLogRecordProcessor as a processor to batch output, we find that throughput is limited and CPU & memory usage are not high. After some investigation, we find that bottleneck is in BatchLogRecordProcessor.

image

BatchLogRecordProcessor has only one work and batch export pending on export result, so throughput is limited.

Describe the solution you'd like
Support multiple worker for BatchLogRecordProcessor, and worker number is configurable.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Research direction

Start with BatchLogRecordProcessor.java at the export wait location linked in the issue. Trace how batches are queued and exported, then determine how configurable multiple workers should coordinate; done means the processor supports the requested worker count without the current single-export bottleneck.
