Any plans on introducing a get by multiple IDs method to the SDK?

[dantinkakkar]

We have a use case where we need to get a bunch of documents by ID, we are currently leveraging the get (for single key) and running a bunch of those in parallel using a tokio JoinSet, are there any plans to introduce something like this in SDK?

Hi @dantinkakkar, there are no plans at present but I can create an issue to track this with project management (if you happen to be a customer with a rep then it'll have more impact if they file an issue instead).

Are you looking for a function which just does the same thing as you are now but takes the burden off the application, or are you looking for a way to send multiple keys in a single request at the network level? I only ask because the second approach is not actually possible with the binary protocol that we use to talk to the key value engine.

It would have probably been more impactful to be able to do this at the network level, which was what I was looking for because I suspect what we are doing might be inefficient compared to that.

It'll be some help to take this off the application anyway so I'll look into filing an issue on it.
