@dreadNought-ai i'm not sure what you propose. please add more details as to: - when (in what cases) this merge should happen. - what's the proposed mechanism to perform this merge. - what are the benefits.

please keep in mind that an AOF file can and usually is, very big (contains many commands that repeatedly modify the same keys again and again), so parsing it and executing the commands is very slow, and it is much faster to just iterate on the new data strictures we have in the memory and produce a new AOF or RDB file (compared to reading the AOF file)
