Modern advanced storage devices, such as modern NVMe SSD and non-volatile memory based persistent memory (PM), provide different access features when data size varies. Existing key-value stores adopt unified IO path for all key-value items, which cannot fully exploit the advantages of different advanced storage devices. In this paper, we propose to split IO paths for different sized key-value items. We let small key-value items be written directly to PM and then migrated to SSD. Meanwhile, large key-value items are directly written to SSD. We present and discuss design choices towards challenging issues of splitting IO paths. We build SplitKV, a key-value store prototype to show the benefits of splitting IO paths. The preliminary results show SplitKV outperforms RocksDB, KVell, and NoveLSM under small large KV mixed workloads.
