Summary:
Previously, range tombstones were accumulated from every level, which
was necessary if a range tombstone in a higher level covered a key in a lower
level. However, RangeDelAggregator::AddTombstones's complexity is based on
the number of tombstones that are currently stored in it, which is wasteful in
the Get case, where we only need to know the highest sequence number of range
tombstones that cover the key from higher levels, and compute the highest covering
sequence number at the current level. This change introduces this optimization, and
removes the use of RangeDelAggregator from the Get path.
In the benchmark results, the following command was used to initialize the database:
```
./db_bench -db=/dev/shm/5k-rts -use_existing_db=false -benchmarks=filluniquerandom -write_buffer_size=1048576 -compression_type=lz4 -target_file_size_base=1048576 -max_bytes_for_level_base=4194304 -value_size=112 -key_size=16 -block_size=4096 -level_compaction_dynamic_level_bytes=true -num=5000000 -max_background_jobs=12 -benchmark_write_rate_limit=20971520 -range_tombstone_width=100 -writes_per_range_tombstone=100 -max_num_range_tombstones=50000 -bloom_bits=8
```
...and the following command was used to measure read throughput:
```
./db_bench -db=/dev/shm/5k-rts/ -use_existing_db=true -benchmarks=readrandom -disable_auto_compactions=true -num=5000000 -reads=100000 -threads=32
```
The filluniquerandom command was only run once, and the resulting database was used
to measure read performance before and after the PR. Both binaries were compiled with
`DEBUG_LEVEL=0`.
Readrandom results before PR:
```
readrandom : 4.544 micros/op 220090 ops/sec; 16.9 MB/s (63103 of 100000 found)
```
Readrandom results after PR:
```
readrandom : 11.147 micros/op 89707 ops/sec; 6.9 MB/s (63103 of 100000 found)
```
So it's actually slower right now, but this PR paves the way for future optimizations (see #4493).

Summary:
Memtables are selected for flushing by the flush job. Currently we
have listener which is invoked when memtables for a column family are
flushed. That listener does not indicate which memtable was flushed in
the notification. If clients want to know if particular data in the
memtable was retired, there is no straight forward way to know this.
This method will help users who implement memtablerep factory and extend
interface for memtablerep, to know if the data in the memtable was
retired.
Another option that was tried, was to depend on memtable destructor to
be called after flush to mark that data was persisted. This works all
the time but sometimes there can huge delays between actual flush
happening and memtable getting destroyed. Hence, if anyone who is
waiting for data to persist will have to wait that longer.
It is expected that anyone who is implementing this method to have
return quickly as it blocks RocksDB.

Summary:
Given that index value is a BlockHandle, which is basically an <offset, size> pair we can apply delta encoding on the values. The first value at each index restart interval encoded the full BlockHandle but the rest encode only the size. Refer to IndexBlockIter::DecodeCurrentValue for the detail of the encoding. This reduces the index size which helps using the block cache more efficiently. The feature is enabled with using format_version 4.
The feature comes with a bit of cpu overhead which should be paid back by the higher cache hits due to smaller index block size.

Summary:
Flush() call could be waiting indefinitely if min_write_buffer_number_to_merge is used. Consider the sequence:
1. User call Flush() with flush_options.wait = true
2. The manual flush started in the background
3. New memtable become immutable because of writes. The new memtable will not trigger flush if min_write_buffer_number_to_merge is not reached.
4. The manual flush finish.
Because of the new memtable created at step 3 not being flush, previous logic of WaitForFlushMemTable() keep waiting, despite the memtables it intent to flush has been flushed.
Here instead of checking if there are any more memtables to flush, WaitForFlushMemTable() also check the id of the earliest memtable. If the id is larger than that of latest memtable at the time flush was initiated, it means all the memtable at the time of flush start has all been flush.

Previously setting `write_buffer_size` with `SetOptions` would only apply to new memtables. An internal user wanted it to take effect immediately, instead of at an arbitrary future point, to prevent OOM.
This PR makes the memtable's size mutable, and makes `SetOptions()` mutate it. There is one case when we preserve the old behavior, which is when memtable prefix bloom filter is enabled and the user is increasing the memtable's capacity. That's because the prefix bloom filter's size is fixed and wouldn't work as well on a larger memtable.

Summary:
Add kTypeBlobIndex value type, which will be used by blob db only, to insert a (key, blob_offset) KV pair. The purpose is to
1. Make it possible to open existing rocksdb instance as blob db. Existing value will be of kTypeIndex type, while value inserted by blob db will be of kTypeBlobIndex.
2. Make rocksdb able to detect if the db contains value written by blob db, if so return error.
3. Make it possible to have blob db optionally store value in SST file (with kTypeValue type) or as a blob value (with kTypeBlobIndex type).
The root db (DBImpl) basically pretended kTypeBlobIndex are normal value on write. On Get if is_blob is provided, return whether the value read is of kTypeBlobIndex type, or return Status::NotSupported() status if is_blob is not provided. On scan allow_blob flag is pass and if the flag is true, return wether the value is of kTypeBlobIndex type via iter->IsBlob().
Changes on blob db side will be in a separate patch.

2. We start to trigger memtable flush when 7/8 of the memory cap hits, instead of 100%, and make 100% much harder to hit.
3. Allow a cache object to be passed into buffer manager and the size allocated by memtable can be costed there. This can help users have one single memory cap across block cache and memtable.

Summary:
Currently the point lookup values are copied to a string provided by the user.
This incures an extra memcpy cost. This patch allows doing point lookup
via a PinnableSlice which pins the source memory location (instead of
copying their content) and releases them after the content is consumed
by the user. The old API of Get(string) is translated to the new API
underneath.
Here is the summary for improvements:
1. value 100 byte: 1.8% regular, 1.2% merge values
2. value 1k byte: 11.5% regular, 7.5% merge values
3. value 10k byte: 26% regular, 29.9% merge values
The improvement for merge could be more if we extend this approach to
pin the merge output and delay the full merge operation until the user
actually needs it. We have put that for future work.
PS:
Sometimes we observe a small decrease in performance when switching from
t5452014 to this patch but with the old Get(string) API. The difference
is a little and could be noise. More importantly it is safely
cancelled

- Add `InsertWithHint()` interface to memtable, to allow underlying

pass back to optimize inserts.
- Memtable will maintain a map from prefix to hints and pass the hint

- log_ref is a supplied log_number which all memtables inserted into will reference after the batch insert takes place. This number will reside in 'FindMinPrepLogReferencedByMemTable()' until all Memtables insertinto have flushed.

Summary:
This diff adds support for concurrent adds to the skiplist memtable
implementations. Memory allocation is made thread-safe by the addition of
a spinlock, with small per-core buffers to avoid contention. Concurrent
memtable writes are made via an additional method and don't impose a
performance overhead on the non-concurrent case, so parallelism can be
selected on a per-batch basis.
Write thread synchronization is an increasing bottleneck for higher levels
of concurrency, so this diff adds --enable_write_thread_adaptive_yield
(default off). This feature causes threads joining a write batch
group to spin for a short time (default 100 usec) using sched_yield,
rather than going to sleep on a mutex. If the timing of the yield calls
indicates that another thread has actually run during the yield then
spinning is avoided. This option improves performance for concurrent
situations even without parallel adds, although it has the potential to
increase CPU usage (and the heuristic adaptation is not yet mature).
Parallel writes are not currently compatible with
inplace updates, update callbacks, or delete filtering.
Enable it with --allow_concurrent_memtable_write (and
--enable_write_thread_adaptive_yield). Parallel memtable writes
are performance neutral when there is no actual parallelism, and in
my experiments (SSD server-class Linux and varying contention and key
sizes for fillrandom) they are always a performance win when there is
more than one thread.
Statistics are updated earlier in the write path, dropping the number
of DB mutex acquisitions from 2 to 1 for almost all cases.
This diff was motivated and inspired by Yahoo's cLSM work. It is more
conservative than cLSM: RocksDB's write batch group leader role is
preserved (along with all of the existing flush and write throttling
logic) and concurrent writers are blocked until all memtable insertions
have completed and the sequence number has been advanced, to preserve
linearizability.
My test config is "db_bench -benchmarks=fillrandom -threads=$T
-batch_size=1 -memtablerep=skip_list -value_size=100 --num=1000000/$T
-level0_slowdown_writes_trigger=9999 -level0_stop_writes_trigger=9999

Xeon E5-2660 @ 2.2Ghz with lots of memory and an SSD hard drive. With 1
thread I get ~440Kops/sec. Peak performance for 1 socket (numactl
-N1) is slightly more than 1Mops/sec, at 16 threads. Peak performance
across both sockets happens at 30 threads, and is ~900Kops/sec, although
with fewer threads there is less performance loss when the system has
background work.

Summary: Optimistic transactions supporting begin/commit/rollback semantics. Currently relies on checking the memtable to determine if there are any collisions at commit time. Not yet implemented would be a way of enuring the memtable has some minimum amount of history so that we won't fail to commit when the memtable is empty. You should probably start with transaction.h to get an overview of what is currently supported.
Test Plan: Added a new test, but still need to look into stress testing.

Summary:
When memtable is full it calls the registered callback. That callback then registers column family as needing the flush. Every write checks if there are some column families that need to be flushed. This completely eliminates the need for MakeRoomForWrite() function and simplifies our Write code-path.
There is some complexity with the concurrency when the column family is dropped. I made it a bit less complex by dropping the column family from the write thread in https://reviews.facebook.net/D22965. Let me know if you want to discuss this.

In this patch, try to allocate the whole iterator tree starting from DBIter from an arena
1. ArenaWrappedDBIter is created when serves as the entry point of an iterator tree, with an arena in it.
2. Add an option to create iterator from arena for following iterators: DBIter, MergingIterator, MemtableIterator, all mem table's iterators, all table reader's iterators and two level iterator.
3. MergeIteratorBuilder is created to incrementally build the tree of internal iterators. It is passed to mem table list and version set and add iterators to it.
Limitations:
(1) Only DB::NewIterator() without tailing uses the arena. Other cases, including readonly DB and compactions are still from malloc
(2) Two level iterator itself is allocated in arena, but not iterators inside it.

Summary:
= Major Changes =
* Add a new mem-table representation, HashCuckooRep, which is based cuckoo hash.
Cuckoo hash uses multiple hash functions. This allows each key to have multiple
possible locations in the mem-table.
- Put: When insert a key, it will try to find whether one of its possible
locations is vacant and store the key. If none of its possible
locations are available, then it will kick out a victim key and
store at that location. The kicked-out victim key will then be
stored at a vacant space of its possible locations or kick-out
another victim. In this diff, the kick-out path (known as
cuckoo-path) is found using BFS, which guarantees to be the shortest.
- Get: Simply tries all possible locations of a key --- this guarantees
worst-case constant time complexity.
- Time complexity: O(1) for Get, and average O(1) for Put if the
fullness of the mem-table is below 80%.
- Default using two hash functions, the number of hash functions used
by the cuckoo-hash may dynamically increase if it fails to find a
short-enough kick-out path.
- Currently, HashCuckooRep does not support iteration and snapshots,
as our current main purpose of this is to optimize point access.
= Minor Changes =
* Add IsSnapshotSupported() to DB to indicate whether the current DB
supports snapshots. If it returns false, then DB::GetSnapshot() will
always return nullptr.
Test Plan:
Run existing tests. Will develop a test specifically for cuckoo hash in
the next diff.

Summary:
I will submit a sequence of diffs that are preparing master branch for column families. There are a lot of implicit assumptions in the code that are making column family implementation hard. If I make the change only in column family branch, it will make merging back to master impossible.
Most of the diffs will be simple code refactorings, so I hope we can have fast turnaround time. Feel free to grab me in person to discuss any of them.
This diff removes number of level check from VersionEdit. It is used only when VersionEdit is read, not written, but has to be set when it is written. I believe it is a right thing to make VersionEdit dumb and check consistency on the caller side. This will also make it much easier to implement Column Families, since different column families can have different number of levels.

1. Key already exists in the current memtable. Does not inplace update values in immutable memtable or snapshot
2. Latest value type is a 'put' ie kTypeValue
3. New value size is less than existing value, to avoid reallocating memory
TODO: For a put of an existing key, deallocate memory take by values, for other value types till a kTypeValue is found, ie. remove kTypeMerge.

Summary:
This patch adds three new MemTableRep's: UnsortedRep, PrefixHashRep, and VectorRep.
UnsortedRep stores keys in an std::unordered_map of std::sets. When an iterator is requested, it dumps the keys into an std::set and iterates over that.
VectorRep stores keys in an std::vector. When an iterator is requested, it creates a copy of the vector and sorts it using std::sort. The iterator accesses that new vector.
PrefixHashRep stores keys in an unordered_map mapping prefixes to ordered sets.
I also added one API change. I added a function MemTableRep::MarkImmutable. This function is called when the rep is added to the immutable list. It doesn't do anything yet, but it seems like that could be useful. In particular, for the vectorrep, it means we could elide the extra copy and just sort in place. The only reason I haven't done that yet is because the use of the ArenaAllocator complicates things (I can elaborate on this if needed).

With Merge returning bool, it can keep failing silently(eg. While faling to fetch timestamp in TTL). We need to detect this through a rocksdb counter which can get bumped whenever Merge returns false. This will also be super-useful for the mcrocksdb-counter service where Merge may fail.
Added a counter NUMBER_MERGE_FAILURES and appropriately updated db/merge_helper.cc
I felt that it would be better to directly add counter-bumping in Merge as a default function of MergeOperator class but user should not be aware of this, so this approach seems better to me.

Summary:
Here are the major changes to the Merge Interface. It has been expanded
to handle cases where the MergeOperator is not associative. It does so by stacking
up merge operations while scanning through the key history (i.e.: during Get() or
Compaction), until a valid Put/Delete/end-of-history is encountered; it then
applies all of the merge operations in the correct sequence starting with the
base/sentinel value.
I have also introduced an "AssociativeMerge" function which allows the user to
take advantage of associative merge operations (such as in the case of counters).
The implementation will always attempt to merge the operations/operands themselves
together when they are encountered, and will resort to the "stacking" method if
and only if the "associative-merge" fails.
This implementation is conjectured to allow MergeOperator to handle the general
case, while still providing the user with the ability to take advantage of certain
efficiencies in their own merge-operator / data-structure.
NOTE: This is a preliminary diff. This must still go through a lot of review,
revision, and testing. Feedback welcome!
Test Plan:
-This is a preliminary diff. I have only just begun testing/debugging it.
-I will be testing this with the existing MergeOperator use-cases and unit-tests
(counters, string-append, and redis-lists)
-I will be "desk-checking" and walking through the code with the help gdb.
-I will find a way of stress-testing the new interface / implementation using
db_bench, db_test, merge_test, and/or db_stress.
-I will ensure that my tests cover all cases: Get-Memtable,
Get-Immutable-Memtable, Get-from-Disk, Iterator-Range-Scan, Flush-Memtable-to-L0,
Compaction-L0-L1, Compaction-Ln-L(n+1), Put/Delete found, Put/Delete not-found,
