Operational Flexibility: Both solutions share… caching sequential IO, adjusting the dirty page threshold, flushing the cache on demand, or having a time-based cache flushing mechanism, but some of… it here.

… on innodb_flush_neighbor_pages. By default InnoDB flushes so named neighbor pages, which really are not neighbors. Say we want to flush page P. InnoDB is looking in an area of 128 pages around page P, and flushes all the pages in that area that are dirty… dot is a page that does not need flushing, each “D” is a dirty page that InnoDB will flush, and P is our page.
