Threshold for flushing

Basically, the number of keys triggers flushing (Converting FPTree to SSTable) because the number of the root split times on the FPTree is the threshold. Where you insert K keys and the N split happens, the relation between $K$ and $N$ would be:

$$K = 8 \times (3^{N+1} + 1)$$

If you set the root_split_threshold to 6, flush would happen every 17,504 insertions.
