Research direction

The issue title proposes preallocating a merge_iterator per thread, but provides no description, files, tests, entry points, or completion criteria. Start by locating merge_iterator and its thread-related allocation paths in the SplinterDB codebase; the intended design and measurable outcome would need to be clarified before implementation.
