namespace ROCKSDB_NAMESPACE {
// MergingIterator uses a min/max heap to combine data from point iterators.
// Range tombstones can be added and keys covered by range tombstones will be
// skipped.
//
// The following are implementation details and can be ignored by user.
// For merging iterator to process range tombstones, it treats the start and end
// keys of a range tombstone as two keys and put them into minHeap_ or maxHeap_
// together with regular point keys. Each range tombstone is active only within
// its internal key range [start_key, end_key). An `active_` set is used to
// track levels that have an active range tombstone. Take forward scanning
// for example. Level j is in active_ if its current range tombstone has its
// start_key popped from minHeap_ and its end_key in minHeap_. If the top of
// minHeap_ is a point key from level L, we can determine if the point key is
// covered by any range tombstone by checking if there is an l <= L in active_.
// The case of l == L also involves checking range tombstone's sequence number.
//
// The following (non-exhaustive) list of invariants are maintained by
// MergingIterator during forward scanning. After each InternalIterator API,
// i.e., Seek*() and Next(), and FindNextVisibleKey(), if minHeap_ is not empty:
// (1) minHeap_.top().type == ITERATOR
// (2) minHeap_.top()->key() is not covered by any range tombstone.
//
// After each call to SeekImpl() in addition to the functions mentioned above:
// (3) For all level i and j <= i, range_tombstone_iters_[j].prev.end_key() <
// children_[i].iter.key(). That is, range_tombstone_iters_[j] is at or before
// the first range tombstone from level j with end_key() >
// children_[i].iter.key().
// (4) For all level i and j <= i, if j in active_, then
// range_tombstone_iters_[j]->start_key() < children_[i].iter.key().
// - When range_tombstone_iters_[j] is !Valid(), we consider its `prev` to be
// the last range tombstone from that range tombstone iterator.
// - When referring to range tombstone start/end keys, assume it is the value of
// HeapItem::tombstone_pik. This value has op_type = kMaxValid, which makes
// range tombstone keys have distinct values from point keys.
//
// Applicable class variables have their own (forward scanning) invariants
// listed in the comments above their definition.

// Pre-condition:

// - (**) target < pinned_heap_item_[i].tombstone_pik if
// range_tombstone_iters_[i].Valid() for i >= starting_level
//
// Proof sketch:
// Invariant (3) holds for all level i.
// For j <= i < starting_level, it follows from Pre-condition that (3) holds
// and that SeekImpl(-, starting_level) does not update children_[i] or
// range_tombstone_iters_[j].
// For j < starting_level and i >= starting_level, it follows from
// - Pre-condition that range_tombstone_iters_[j].prev.end_key() < `target`
// - range_tombstone_iters_[j] is not updated in SeekImpl(), and
// - children_[i].iter.Seek(current_search_key) is called with
// current_search_key >= target (shown below).
//   When current_search_key is updated, it is updated to some
//   range_tombstone_iter->end_key() after
//   range_tombstone_iter->SeekInternalKey(current_search_key) was called. So
//   current_search_key increases if updated and >= target.
// For starting_level <= j <= i:
// children_[i].iter.Seek(k1) and range_tombstone_iters_[j]->SeekInternalKey(k2)
// are called in SeekImpl(). Seek(k1) positions children_[i] at the first key >=
// k1 from level i. SeekInternalKey(k2) positions range_tombstone_iters_[j] at
// the first range tombstone from level j with end_key() > k2. It suffices to
// show that k1 >= k2. Since k1 and k2 are values of current_search_key where
// k1 = k2 or k1 is value of a later current_search_key than k2, so k1 >= k2.
//
// Invariant (4) holds for all level >= 0.
// By Pre-condition Invariant (4) holds for i < starting_level.
// Since children_[i], range_tombstone_iters_[i] and contents of active_ for
// i < starting_level do not change (4) holds for j <= i < starting_level.
// By Pre-condition: for all j < starting_level, if j in active_, then
// range_tombstone_iters_[j]->start_key() < target. For i >= starting_level,
// children_[i].iter.Seek(k) is called for k >= target. So
// children_[i].iter.key() >= target > range_tombstone_iters_[j]->start_key()
// for j < starting_level and i >= starting_level. So invariant (4) holds for
// j < starting_level and i >= starting_level.
// For starting_level <= j <= i, j is added to active_ only if
// - range_tombstone_iters_[j]->SeekInternalKey(k1) was called
// - range_tombstone_iters_[j]->start_key() <= k1
// Since children_[i].iter.Seek(k2) is called for some k2 >= k1 and for all
// starting_level <= j <= i, (4) also holds for all starting_level <= j <= i.
//
// Post-condition (*): target <= children_[i].iter.key() <= LevelNextVisible(i,
// target) for i >= starting_level.
// target <= children_[i].iter.key() follows from that Seek() is called on some
// current_search_key >= target for children_[i].iter. If current_search_key
// is updated from k1 to k2 when level = i, we show that the range [k1, k2) is
// not visible for children_[j] for any j > i. When current_search_key is
// updated from k1 to k2,
//  - range_tombstone_iters_[i]->SeekInternalKey(k1) was called
//  - range_tombstone_iters_[i]->Valid()
//  - range_tombstone_iters_[i]->start_key().user_key <= k1.user_key
//  - k2 = range_tombstone_iters_[i]->end_key()
// We assume that range_tombstone_iters_[i]->start_key() has a higher sequence
// number compared to any key from levels > i that has the same user key. So no
// point key from levels > i in range [k1, k2) is visible. So
// children_[i].iter.key() <= LevelNextVisible(i, target).
//
// Post-condition (**) target < pinned_heap_item_[i].tombstone_pik for i >=

//  Ideally we should only move iterators forward in SeekImpl(), and the
//  progress condition can be made simpler: iterator only moves forward.
//
// Proof sketch:
// Post-condition:
// Invariant (1) holds when this method returns:
// Ignoring the empty minHeap_ case, there are two cases:
// Case 1: active_ is empty and !minHeap_.top()->iter.IsDeleteRangeSentinelKey()
// By invariants (rti) and (active_), active_ being empty means if a
// pinned_heap_item_[i] is in minHeap_, it has type DELETE_RANGE_START. Note
// that PopDeleteRangeStart() was called right before the while loop condition,
// so minHeap_.top() is not of type DELETE_RANGE_START. So minHeap_.top() must
// be of type ITERATOR.
// Case 2: SkipNextDeleted() returns false. The method returns false only when
// minHeap_.top().type == ITERATOR.
//
// Invariant (2) holds when this method returns:
// From Invariant (1), minHeap_.top().type == ITERATOR. Suppose it is
// children_[i] for some i. Suppose that children_[i].iter.key() is covered by
// some range tombstone. This means there is a j <= i and a range tombstone from
// level j with start_key() < children_[i].iter.key() < end_key().
// - If range_tombstone_iters_[j]->Valid(), by Invariants (rti) and (phi),
// pinned_heap_item_[j] is in minHeap_, and pinned_heap_item_[j].tombstone_pik
// is either start or end key of this range tombstone. If
// pinned_heap_item_[j].tombstone_pik < children_[i].iter.key(), it would be at
// top of minHeap_ which would contradict Invariant (1). So
// pinned_heap_item_[j].tombstone_pik > children_[i].iter.key().
// By Invariant (3), range_tombstone_iters_[j].prev.end_key() <
// children_[i].iter.key(). We assume that in each level, range tombstones
// cover non-overlapping ranges. So range_tombstone_iters_[j] is at
// the range tombstone with start_key() < children_[i].iter.key() < end_key()
// and has its end_key() in minHeap_. By Invariants (phi) and (active_),
// j is in active_. From while loop condition, SkipNextDeleted() must have
// returned false for this method to return.
//   - If j < i, then SeekImpl(range_tombstone_iters_[j']->end_key(), i)
// was called for some j' < i and j' in active_. Note that since j' is in
// active_, pinned_heap_item_[j'] is in minHeap_ and has tombstone_pik =
// range_tombstone_iters_[j']->end_key(). So
// range_tombstone_iters_[j']->end_key() must be larger than
// children_[i].iter.key() to not be at top of minHeap_. This means after
// SeekImpl(), children_[i] would be at a key > children_[i].iter.key()
// -- contradiction.
//   - If j == i, children_[i]->Next() would have been called and children_[i]
// would be at a key > children_[i].iter.key() -- contradiction.
// - If !range_tombstone_iters_[j]->Valid(). Then range_tombstone_iters_[j]
// points to an SST file with all range tombstones from that file exhausted.
// The file must come before the file containing the first
// range tombstone with start_key() < children_[i].iter.key() < end_key().
// Assume files from same level have non-overlapping ranges, the current file's
// meta.largest is less than children_[i].iter.key(). So the file boundary key,
// which has value meta.largest must have been popped from minHeap_ before
// children_[i].iter.key(). So range_tombstone_iters_[j] would not point to
// this SST file -- contradiction.
// So it is impossible for children_[i].iter.key() to be covered by a range
// tombstone.
//
// Post-condition (*) holds when the function returns:
// From loop invariant (*) that k <= children_[i].iter.key() <=
// LevelNextVisible(i, k) and Invariant (2) above, when the function returns,
// minHeap_.top()->key() is the smallest LevelNextVisible(i, k) among all levels
// i. This is equal to NextVisible(k).
//
// Invariant (3) holds after each iteration:
// PopDeleteRangeStart() does not change range tombstone position.
// In SkipNextDeleted():
//   - If DELETE_RANGE_END is popped from minHeap_, it means the range
//   tombstone's end key is < all other point keys, so it is safe to advance to
//   next range tombstone.
//   - If file boundary is popped (current->iter.IsDeleteRangeSentinelKey()),
//   we assume that file's last range tombstone's
//   end_key <= file boundary key < all other point keys. So it is safe to
//   move to the first range tombstone in the next SST file.
//   - If children_[i]->Next() is called, then it is fine as it is advancing a
//   point iterator.
//   - If SeekImpl(target, l) is called, then (3) follows from SeekImpl()'s
//   post-condition if its pre-condition holds. First pre-condition follows
//   from loop invariant where Invariant (3) holds for all levels i.
//   Now we should second pre-condition holds. Since Invariant (3) holds for
//   all i, we have for all j <= l, range_tombstone_iters_[j].prev.end_key()
//   < children_[l].iter.key(). `target` is the value of
//   range_tombstone_iters_[j'].end_key() for some j' < l and j' in active_.
//   By Invariant (active_) and (rti), pinned_heap_item_[j'] is in minHeap_ and
//   pinned_heap_item_[j'].tombstone_pik = range_tombstone_iters_[j'].end_key().
//   This end_key must be larger than children_[l].key() since it was not at top
//   of minHeap_. So for all levels j <= l,
//   range_tombstone_iters_[j].prev.end_key() < children_[l].iter.key() < target
//
// Invariant (4) holds after each iteration:
// A level i is inserted into active_ during calls to PopDeleteRangeStart().
// In that case, range_tombstone_iters_[i].start_key() < all point keys
// by heap property and the assumption that point keys and range tombstone keys
// are distinct.
// If SeekImpl(target, l) is called, then there is a range_tombstone_iters_[j]
// where target = range_tombstone_iters_[j]->end_key() and children_[l]->key()
// < target. By loop invariants, (3) and (4) holds for levels.
// Since target > children_[l]->key(), it also holds that for j < l,
// range_tombstone_iters_[j].prev.end_key() < target and that if j in active_,
// range_tombstone_iters_[i]->start_key() < target. So all pre-conditions of
// SeekImpl(target, l) holds, and (4) follow from its post-condition.
// All other places either in this function either advance point iterators
// or remove some level from active_, so (4) still holds.
//
// Look Invariant (*): for all level i, k <= children_[i] <= LevelNextVisible(i,
// k).
// k <= children_[i] follows from loop `progress` condition.
// Consider when children_[i] is changed for any i. It is through
// children_[i].iter.Next() or SeekImpl() in SkipNextDeleted().
// If children_[i].iter.Next() is called, there is a range tombstone from level
// i where tombstone seqno > children_[i].iter.key()'s seqno and i in active_.
// By Invariant (4), tombstone's start_key < children_[i].iter.key(). By
// invariants (active_), (phi), and (rti), tombstone's end_key is in minHeap_
// and that children_[i].iter.key() < end_key. So children_[i].iter.key() is
// not visible, and it is safe to call Next().
// If SeekImpl(target, l) is called, by its contract, when SeekImpl() returns,
// target <= children_[i]->key() <= LevelNextVisible(i, target) for i >= l,
// and children_[<l] is not touched. We know `target` is
// range_tombstone_iters_[j]->end_key() for some j < i and j is in active_.
// By Invariant (4), range_tombstone_iters_[j]->start_key() <
// children_[i].iter.key() for all i >= l. So for each level i >= l, the range
// [children_[i].iter.key(), target) is not visible. So after SeekImpl(),
// children_[i].iter.key() <= LevelNextVisible(i, target) <=
// LevelNextVisible(i, k).
//
// `Progress` holds for each iteration:
// Very sloppy intuition:
// - in PopDeleteRangeStart(): the value of a pinned_heap_item_.tombstone_pik_
// is updated from the start key to the end key of the same range tombstone.
// We assume that start key <= end key for the same range tombstone.
// - in SkipNextDeleted()
//   - If the top of heap is DELETE_RANGE_END, the range tombstone is advanced
//     and the relevant pinned_heap_item_.tombstone_pik is increased or popped
//     from minHeap_.
//   - If the top of heap is a file boundary key, then both point iter and
//     range tombstone iter are advanced to the next file.
//   - If the top of heap is ITERATOR and current->iter.Next() is called, it
//     moves to a larger point key.
//   - If the top of heap is ITERATOR and SeekImpl(k, l) is called, then all
//     iterators from levels >= l are advanced to some key >= k by its contract.
//     And top of minHeap_ before SeekImpl(k, l) was less than k.
// There are special cases where different heap items have the same key,
// e.g. when two range tombstone end keys share the same value). In
// these cases, iterators are being advanced, so the minimum key should increase
// in a finite number of steps.
