We have a very specialized workload where the likeliness that a record we wrote is ever read back is really really low.
Until now, we have been following the recommendation to set TokuDB cache to be approx 50% of available memory, and leave the other 50% to the OS to cache the toku datafiles (we are not using directIO of course). 
Considering what I wrote above, wouldn't it perhaps be better to keep the TokuDB own cache to a minimum, and let the OS cache more datafiles instead?
I would appreciate some help on this.

Thanks in advance,

Rick
