AI-generatedWrite stall activation criteria for mutable memtable memory limits
When configuring RocksDB, the write stall mechanism is designed to pause writes when memory pressure from mutable memtables exceeds configured limits. The documentation states that a stall occurs if the total memory used by all mutable memtables surpasses write_buffer_limit or if the number of immutable memtables awaiting flush reaches max_write_buffer_numbe
