Congrats Aerospike team on this major release and taking care of so many features and bug fixes.

I had a question about the ā€œBatch-read improvementā€ feature. Will we be able to get latency/TPS figures of batched reads now ? Through asloglatency/AMC/collectd-plugin ?

Yes, those will show up along the normal reads.

You can find out details on the batch feature documentation page.
