Jack a47d4613d2 [improvement](be) Read small SNII batches on the calling thread when reads hit the page cache (#69648)
### What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: None

Related PR: None

Problem Summary: DorisSniiFileReader::read_batch submits every physical
segment of a batch with
more than one segment to the shared buffered-reader prefetch thread pool
and waits on a latch.
When the index file is in the page cache the reads take microseconds and
99% of the batches of a
phrase workload are under 256 KB, so the submit, wake-up and wait cost
more than the reads, and a
query that issues thousands of batches from 16 scanner threads queues on
the pool's lock. On 99M
AgentLogs rows, 83% of the threads inside the SNII query path were
blocked in
ThreadPool::do_submit for the date-range phrase query.

A batch of at most config::snii_inline_read_max_segments (default 4, 0
disables) segments and
256 KiB is now read on the calling thread when the index file is on the
local filesystem and the
moving average of recent small physical reads is below 20 us. Remote and
cached-remote readers,
larger batches and slow (page-cache miss) reads still fan out to the
pool, because overlapping
disk reads gain from it: with a fixed rule instead of the average, the
cold run of two phrase
queries was 4-8% slower. The serial read rounds counter counts one round
per segment for a batch
read inline.

Measured on 99M AgentLogs rows (branch-4.2 build; the changed code is
the same on master), same process, 25 queries, inline off against on, 16
samples each:
date-range phrase query 0.39x, any-of-three-phrases top-N 0.70x, no
query above 1.02x. Cold runs
(restart, page cache evicted, three repetitions) of eight queries are
within 2% of the pool.

👣 Get Started

🧱 Architecture

Apache Doris supports both compute-storage coupled and compute-storage decoupled deployments. In decoupled mode, stateless compute groups run over shared object storage, so you can scale compute on demand and isolate workloads.
