Summary:
There is a new option called hybrid_mode which, when switched on,
causes HBase style compactions. Files from L0 are
compacted back into L0. This meat of this compaction algorithm
is in PickCompactionHybrid().
All files reside in L0. That means all files have overlapping
keys. Each file has a time-bound, i.e. each file contains a
range of keys that were inserted around the same time. The
start-seqno and the end-seqno refers to the timeframe when
these keys were inserted. Files that have contiguous seqno
are compacted together into a larger file. All files are
ordered from most recent to the oldest.
The current compaction algorithm starts to look for
candidate files starting from the most recent file. It continues to
add more files to the same compaction run as long as the
sum of the files chosen till now is smaller than the next
candidate file size. This logic needs to be debated
and validated.
The above logic should reduce write amplification to a
large extent... will publish numbers shortly.
Test Plan: dbstress runs for 6 hours with no data corruption (tested so far).

Summary:
This diff introduces a new Merge operation into rocksdb.
The purpose of this review is mostly getting feedback from the team (everyone please) on the design.
Please focus on the four files under include/leveldb/, as they spell the client visible interface change.
include/leveldb/db.h
include/leveldb/merge_operator.h
include/leveldb/options.h
include/leveldb/write_batch.h
Please go over local/my_test.cc carefully, as it is a concerete use case.
Please also review the impelmentation files to see if the straw man implementation makes sense.
Note that, the diff does pass all make check and truly supports forward iterator over db and a version
of Get that's based on iterator.
Future work:
- Integration with compaction
- A raw Get implementation
I am working on a wiki that explains the design and implementation choices, but coding comes
just naturally and I think it might be a good idea to share the code earlier. The code is
heavily commented.

FindObsoleteFiles was slow, holding the single big lock, resulted in bad p99 behavior.
Didn't profile anything, but several things could be improved:
1. VersionSet::AddLiveFiles works with std::set, which is by itself slow (a tree).
You also don't know how many dynamic allocations occur just for building up this tree.
switched to std::vector, also added logic to pre-calculate total size and do just one allocation
2. Don't see why env_->GetChildren() needs to be mutex proteced, moved to PurgeObsoleteFiles where
mutex could be unlocked.
3. switched std::set to std:unordered_set, the conversion from vector is also inside PurgeObsoleteFiles
I have a feeling this should pretty much fix it.

This patch allows an application to specify whether to use bufferedio,
reads-via-mmaps and writes-via-mmaps per database. Earlier, there
was a global static variable that was used to configure this functionality.
The default setting remains the same (and is backward compatible):
1. use bufferedio
2. do not use mmaps for reads
3. use mmap for writes
4. use readaheads for reads needed for compaction
I also added a parameter to db_bench to be able to explicitly specify
whether to do readaheads for compactions or not.

Summary:
This adds the rate_delay_limit_milliseconds option to make the delay
configurable in MakeRoomForWrite when the max compaction score is too high.
This delay is called the Ln slowdown. This change also counts the Ln slowdown
per level to make it possible to see where the stalls occur.
From IO-bound performance testing, the Level N stalls occur:
* with compression -> at the largest uncompressed level. This makes sense
because compaction for compressed levels is much
slower. When Lx is uncompressed and Lx+1 is compressed
then files pile up at Lx because the (Lx,Lx+1)->Lx+1
compaction process is the first to be slowed by
compression.
* without compression -> at level 1

On some filesystems, pre-allocation can be a considerable
amount of space. xfs in our production environment pre-allocates by
1GB, for instance. By using fallocate to inform the kernel of our

until the file is closed which, in the case of LOG files, can be a
considerable amount of time).

Summary:
When we expand the range of keys for a level 0 compaction, we
need to invoke ParentFilesInCompaction() only once for the
entire range of keys that is being compacted. We were invoking
it for each file that was being compacted, but this triggers
an assertion because each file's range were contiguous but
non-overlapping.
I renamed ParentFilesInCompaction to ParentRangeInCompaction
to adequately represent that it is the range-of-keys and
not individual files that we compact in a single compaction run.
Here is the assertion that is fixed by this patch.

Summary:
When a new version is created, we sort all the files at every
level based on their size. This is necessary because we want
to compact the largest file first. The sorting takes quite a
bit of CPU.
Moved the sorting code to be outside the mutex. Also, the
earlier code was sorting files at all levels but we do not
need to sort the highest-number level because those files
are never the cause of any compaction. To reduce sorting
costs, we sort only the first few files in each level
because it is likely that those are the only files in that
level that will be picked for compaction.
At steady state, I have seen that this patch increase
throughout from 1500 writes/sec to 1700 writes/sec at the
end of a 72 hour run. The cpu saving by not sorting the
last level was not distinctive in this test run because
there were only 100K files in the highest numbered level.
I expect the cpu saving to be significant when the number of
files is much higher.
This is mostly an early preview and not ready for rigorous review.
With this patch, the writs/sec is now bottlenecked not by the sorting code but by GetOverlappingInputs. I am working on a patch to optimize GetOverlappingInputs.

for overlapping files in the specified key range.
This patch remembers the offset of an overlapped file when
GetOverlappingInputs() is called the first time within
a compaction run. Suceeding calls to GetOverlappingInputs()
uses the remembered index to avoid the binary search.
I measured that 1000 iterations of GetOverlappingInputs
takes around 4500 microseconds without this patch. If I use
this patch with the hint on every invocation, then 1000
iterations take about 3900 microsecond.

Summary:
The method Version::GetOverlappingInputs used a sequential search
to map a kay-range to a set of files. But the files are arranged
in ascending order of key, so a biary search is more effective.
This patch implements Version::GetOverlappingInputsBinarySearch
that finds one file that corresponds to the specified key range
and then iterates backwards and forwards to find all overlapping
files.
This patch is critical for making compactions efficient, especially
when there are thousands of files in a single level.
I measured that 1000 iterations of TEST_MaxNextLevelOverlappingBytes
takes 16000 microseconds without this patch. With this patch, the
same method takes about 4600 microseconds.

- Replace raw slice comparison with a call to user comparator.
Added test for custom comparators.
- Fix end of namespace comments.
- Fixed bug in picking inputs for a level-0 compaction.
When finding overlapping files, the covered range may expand
as files are added to the input set. We now correctly expand
the range when this happens instead of continuing to use the
old range. For example, suppose L0 contains files with the
following ranges:
F1: a .. d
F2: c .. g
F3: f .. j
and the initial compaction target is F3. We used to search
for range f..j which yielded {F2,F3}. However we now expand
the range as soon as another file is added. In this case,
when F2 is added, we expand the range to c..j and restart the
search. That picks up file F1 as well.
This change fixes a bug related to deleted keys showing up
incorrectly after a compaction as described in Issue 44.
(Sync with upstream @25072954)
- Added DB::CompactRange() method.
Changed manual compaction code so it breaks up compactions of
big ranges into smaller compactions.
Changed the code that pushes the output of memtable compactions
to higher levels to obey the grandparent constraint: i.e., we
must never have a single file in level L that overlaps too
much data in level L+1 (to avoid very expensive L-1 compactions).
Added code to pretty-print internal keys.
- Fixed bug where we would not detect overlap with files in
level-0 because we were incorrectly using binary search
on an array of files with overlapping ranges.
