It seems myrocks and rocksdb doing many useless works: Clear, Reinitialize:

In the flame graph, CSPP_WBWI is our WriteBatchWithIndex implementation, used to replace rocksdb default WriteBatchWithIndex.

Although CPU usage of ha_rocksdb::external_lock is 9% of total, it is more than 50% of storage engine layer(except pack/unpack).

We expect ha_external_lock should be light weight for memory only readonly workload, could myrocks add some state variable for checking and skip expensive transaction init works ?
