Depot Warming

On startup, the depots of new nodes are empty, while the depots of restarted nodes often contain stale data that must be refreshed. When depot warming is enabled, a node that is undergoing startup preemptively loads its depot with frequently queried and pinned data. When the node completes startup and begins to execute queries, its depot already contains much of the data it needs to process those queries. This reduces the need to fetch data from communal storage, and expedites query performance accordingly.
