    Description

      After changing the I/O scheduler to AsynchronousScheduler as in MB-59661, we are still hitting the following issue during the merge operation:

      2023-11-16T13:04:50.031+00:00 ERRO CBAS.impls.LSMHarness [Executor-1422:418f33f67f1db6c11b01f09689a9950e] MERGE operation failed on {"class" : "LSMColumnBTree", "dir" : "/cache/data/@analytics/v_iodevice_1/storage/partition_49/Default/Default/WwyyPKKuZ5poJ/0/WwyyPKKuZ5poJ", "memory" : [{"class":"LSMBTreeMemoryComponent", "state":"INACTIVE", "writers":0, "readers":0, "pendingFlushes":0, "id":"[47,47]"}, {"class":"LSMBTreeMemoryComponent", "state":"READABLE_WRITABLE", "writers":0, "readers":0, "pendingFlushes":0, "id":"[48,48]"}], "disk" : 5, "num-scheduled-flushes":0, "current-memory-component":1}
      org.apache.hyracks.api.exceptions.HyracksDataException: Unable to find free page in buffer cache after 1000 cycles (buffer cache undersized?)

      The buffer cache was pressured while performing concurrent merges. Ideally, we should reduce the resources (more specifically the number of pages ) required from the buffer cache to perform merge operations, which is tracked in MB-59664. In the meantime, we need to tune the merge policy parameters, namely the number of concurrent merges (STORAGE_MAX_CONCURRENT_MERGES_PER_PARTITION) and/or the number of the number of components being merge in a single merge operation (MAX_MERGE_COMPONENT_COUNT) to relieve the pressure on the buffer cache.
