Hi @aaditya.dubey!
In order to reproduce my bug report please do following:
1. Disable RocksDB
2. Restart mysqld
3. Run sysbench with --threads 1
4. Start iostat -x 1. very likely your disk util gonna be just 2-3% with 1 thread (i have ~1% because on NVMe)
5. Enable RocksDB plugin
6. Disk util gonna raise to 95-100%.

Enabling RocksDB plugin (without any configuration in my.cnf) immediately increasing innodb disk utilization from 1% to 100%.
How to replicate the issue:
1. Start disk IO monitoring
```iostat -x 1```
2. Start any load on innodb.
3. Enable RocksDB plugin
```ps-admin -k```
Effective immediately innodb disk utilization will raise to 100% (permanently until plugin disabled) and ```mysqladmin processlist``` gonna show almost all threads in state "waiting for handler commit", however without enabled plugin it's never a case.
Just disabling plugin won't resolve the issue unless mysqld process has been manually restarted.
