I'm not saying it's simple nor easy.

I was assuming that the number of requests referred to read requests, and I guess that the system is designed in a way that makes read requests very cheap, maybe even cheaper than reading a file on a usual filesystem, at least for hot data.

Just because it's huge and complex doesn't mean it's slow and that requests are expensive.
