Fluent Bit has this option available in the
tailinput plugin. From looking at the upstream code, it looks like should help to reduce the number of syscalls on every commit to the DB but at the price of locking the access to the database file to third party programs. But for us, that trade-off seems okay?We should soak test/performance test this to see if we get any visible benefit.
