/**
  Batch key access (BKA) is a join strategy that uses multi-range read (MRR)
  to get better read ordering on the table on the inner side. It reads
  a block of rows from the outer side, picks up the join keys (refs) from
  each row, and sends them all off in one big read request. The handler can
  then order these and read them in whatever order it would prefer. This is
  especially attractive when used with rotating media; the reads can then be
  ordered such that it does not require constant seeking (disk-sweep MRR,
  or DS-MRR).
 
  BKA is implemented with two iterators working in concert. The BKAIterator
  reads rows from the outer side into a buffer. When the buffer is full or we
  are out of rows, it then sets up the key ranges and hand it over to the
  MultiRangeRowIterator, which does the actual request, and reads rows from it
  until there are none left. For each inner row returned, MultiRangeRowIterator
  loads the appropriate outer row(s) from the buffer, doing the actual join.
 
  The reason for this split is twofold. First, it allows us to accurately time
  (for EXPLAIN ANALYZE) the actual table read. Second, and more importantly,
  we can have other iterators between the BKAIterator and MultiRangeRowIterator,
  in particular FilterIterator.
