reapfrog 0.2.0

Readahead and dropbehind over multiple files
Documentation

Version

reapfrog

The library optimizes single-pass reading of many small files by taking a path iterator as input and returning Read implementations for each file that automatically schedule posix_fadvise readaheads for the following files to always keep a prefetch window ahead of the current read position, even across files.

Can also perform dropbehind to avoid cluttering the disk caches, but this is optional since it might interfere with other processes accessing those files at the same time.
