Why it matters
This feature optimizes the reading performance forMergeTree tables by minimizing the overhead caused by frequent open and close system calls. Reducing these calls decreases I/O latency and improves query speed, especially on large datasets with many parts.How to use it
This optimization is applied automatically when reading fromMergeTree tables. No additional configuration or user action is required to benefit from the reduced system calls.
