On startup recovery in MDB, there are times when we need to modify the table log settings. It's known that this is an expensive operation as WT will fsync after a WT_SESSION::alter() call on each table.
We've had complaints from users that have a large number of WT files about long startup times when the table log changes need to take place.
In hopes of improving this, I was wondering how feasible it would be to have WT allow batching multiple table alterations for the same config change. Right now we can only alter one table at a time in WT_SESSION::alter(). But I'm hoping that allowing batching of these changes will improve things and allow us to fsync less often.
