Purpose
It is a complex problem to support general chunked prefill at the current code base considering prefill and decode mix. It is also challenge to make it performant. While this can be simplified for P/D case if our target is to support chunked prefill for prefill instance. All the chunked requests are prefill and we can handle it in the same concept of prefix cache with minimum changes.
The most changes happens in KV cache transfer side. For chunked prefill, the time to send the KV cache and the way to fetch data from the cache have been changed.
