Problem
If we build a raft group based on RocksDB, we hope the data of raft can be applied in order of raft-log-index. But it will be slowly if there are a lot of entries waiting to be applied, one thread can not consume them as soon as possible.
And for TiKV batch-system, we hope to process data from different regions in a first-come, first-served manner. This also need to guarantee the order of entries consumed in different thread.
Solution
We hope we can write these keys in parallel by multiple thread. We only need to guarantee that one entry must start writing operation after theses entries whose log-index are less than it. We will use a atomic applied index to decide whether one entry is writing to db.
