Summary:
The RocksDB iterator is a hierarchy of iterators. MergingIterator maintains a heap of LevelIterators, one for each L0 file and for each non-zero level. The Seek() operation naturally lends itself to parallelization, as it involves positioning every LevelIterator on the correct data block in the correct SST file. It lookups a level for a target key, to find the first key that's >= the target key. This typically involves reading one data block that is likely to contain the target key, and scan forward to find the first valid key. The forward scan may read more data blocks. In order to find the right data block, the iterator may read some metadata blocks (required for opening a file and searching the index).
This flow can be parallelized.
Design: Seek will be called two times under async_io option. First seek will send asynchronous request to prefetch the data blocks at each level and second seek will follow the normal flow and in FilePrefetchBuffer::TryReadFromCacheAsync it will wait for the Poll() to get the results and add the iterator to min_heap.
- Status::TryAgain is passed down from FilePrefetchBuffer::PrefetchAsync to block_iter_.Status indicating asynchronous request has been submitted.
- If for some reason asynchronous request returns error in submitting the request, it will fallback to sequential reading of blocks in one pass.
- If the data already exists in prefetch_buffer, it will return the data without prefetching further and it will be treated as single pass of seek.

I was looking at https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/2636 and got very confused that `MergingIterator::AddIterator()` is populating `min_heap_` with dangling pointers. There is justification in the comments that `min_heap_` will be cleared before it's used, but it'd be cleaner to not populate it with dangling pointers in the first place. Also made similar change in the constructor for consistency, although the pointers there would not be dangling, just unused.

Summary:
Context: Index type `kBinarySearchWithFirstKey` added the ability for sst file iterator to sometimes report a key from index without reading the corresponding data block. This is useful when sst blocks are cut at some meaningful boundaries (e.g. one block per key prefix), and many seeks land between blocks (e.g. for each prefix, the ranges of keys in different sst files are nearly disjoint, so a typical seek needs to read a data block from only one file even if all files have the prefix). But this added a new error condition, which rocksdb code was really not equipped to deal with: `InternalIterator::value()` may fail with an IO error or Status::Incomplete, but it's just a method returning a Slice, with no way to report error instead. Before this PR, this type of error wasn't handled at all (an empty slice was returned), and kBinarySearchWithFirstKey implementation was considered a prototype.
Now that we (LogDevice) have experimented with kBinarySearchWithFirstKey for a while and confirmed that it's really useful, this PR is adding the missing error handling.
It's a pretty inconvenient situation implementation-wise. The error needs to be reported from InternalIterator when trying to access value. But there are ~700 call sites of `InternalIterator::value()`, most of which either can't hit the error condition (because the iterator is reading from memtable or from index or something) or wouldn't benefit from the deferred loading of the value (e.g. compaction iterator that reads all values anyway). Adding error handling to all these call sites would needlessly bloat the code. So instead I made the deferred value loading optional: only the call sites that may use deferred loading have to call the new method `PrepareValue()` before calling `value()`. The feature is enabled with a new bool argument `allow_unprepared_value` to a bunch of methods that create iterators (it wouldn't make sense to put it in ReadOptions because it's completely internal to iterators, with virtually no user-visible effect). Lmk if you have better ideas.
Note that the deferred value loading only happens for *internal* iterators. The user-visible iterator (DBIter) always prepares the value before returning from Seek/Next/etc. We could go further and add an API to defer that value loading too, but that's most likely not useful for LogDevice, so it doesn't seem worth the complexity for now.

Summary:
When reseek happens in merging iterator, reseeking a child iterator can be avoided if:
(1) the iterator represents imutable data
(2) reseek() to a larger key than the current key
(3) the current key of the child iterator is larger than the seek key
because it is guaranteed that the result will fall into the same position.
This optimization will be useful for use cases where users keep seeking to keys nearby in ascending order.

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.
Results with sysbench read-only using 4k blocks and using 16 index restart interval:

Summary:
A recent change pushed down the upper bound checking to child iterators. However, this causes the logic of following sequence wrong:
Seek(key);
if (!Valid()) SeekToLast();
Because !Valid() may be caused by upper bounds, rather than the end of the iterator. In this case SeekToLast() points to totally wrong places. This can cause wrong results, infinite loops, or segfault in some cases.
This sequence is called when changing direction from forward to backward. And this by itself also implicitly happen during reseeking optimization in Prev().
Fix this bug by using SeekForPrev() rather than this sequuence, as what is already done in prefix extrator case.

Summary:
Before this PR, Iterator/InternalIterator may simultaneously have non-ok status() and Valid() = true. That state means that the last operation failed, but the iterator is nevertheless positioned on some unspecified record. Likely intended uses of that are:
* If some sst files are corrupted, a normal iterator can be used to read the data from files that are not corrupted.
* When using read_tier = kBlockCacheTier, read the data that's in block cache, skipping over the data that is not.
However, this behavior wasn't documented well (and until recently the wiki on github had misleading incorrect information). In the code there's a lot of confusion about the relationship between status() and Valid(), and about whether Seek()/SeekToLast()/etc reset the status or not. There were a number of bugs caused by this confusion, both inside rocksdb and in the code that uses rocksdb (including ours).
This PR changes the convention to:
* If status() is not ok, Valid() always returns false.
* Any seek operation resets status. (Before the PR, it depended on iterator type and on particular error.)
This does sacrifice the two use cases listed above, but siying said it's ok.
Overview of the changes:
* A commit that adds missing status checks in MergingIterator. This fixes a bug that actually affects us, and we need it fixed. `DBIteratorTest.NonBlockingIterationBugRepro` explains the scenario.
* Changes to lots of iterator types to make all of them conform to the new convention. Some bug fixes along the way. By far the biggest changes are in DBIter, which is a big messy piece of code; I tried to make it less big and messy but mostly failed.
* A stress-test for DBIter, to gain some confidence that I didn't break it. It does a few million random operations on the iterator, while occasionally modifying the underlying data (like ForwardIterator does) and occasionally returning non-ok status from internal iterator.
To find the iterator types that needed changes I searched for "public .*Iterator" in the code. Here's an overview of all 27 iterator types:
Iterators that didn't need changes:
* status() is always ok(), or Valid() is always false: MemTableIterator, ModelIter, TestIterator, KVIter (2 classes with this name anonymous namespaces), LoggingForwardVectorIterator, VectorIterator, MockTableIterator, EmptyIterator, EmptyInternalIterator.
* Thin wrappers that always pass through Valid() and status(): ArenaWrappedDBIter, TtlIterator, InternalIteratorFromIterator.
Iterators with changes (see inline comments for details):
* DBIter - an overhaul:
- It used to silently skip corrupted keys (`FindParseableKey()`), which seems dangerous. This PR makes it just stop immediately after encountering a corrupted key, just like it would for other kinds of corruption. Let me know if there was actually some deeper meaning in this behavior and I should put it back.
- It had a few code paths silently discarding subiterator's status. The stress test caught a few.
- The backwards iteration code path was expecting the internal iterator's set of keys to be immutable. It's probably always true in practice at the moment, since ForwardIterator doesn't support backwards iteration, but this PR fixes it anyway. See added DBIteratorTest.ReverseToForwardBug for an example.
- Some parts of backwards iteration code path even did things like `assert(iter_->Valid())` after a seek, which is never a safe assumption.
- It used to not reset status on seek for some types of errors.
- Some simplifications and better comments.
- Some things got more complicated from the added error handling. I'm open to ideas for how to make it nicer.
* MergingIterator - check status after every operation on every subiterator, and in some places assert that valid subiterators have ok status.
* ForwardIterator - changed to the new convention, also slightly simplified.
* ForwardLevelIterator - fixed some bugs and simplified.
* LevelIterator - simplified.
* TwoLevelIterator - changed to the new convention. Also fixed a bug that would make SeekForPrev() sometimes silently ignore errors from first_level_iter_.
* BlockBasedTableIterator - minor changes.
* BlockIter - replaced `SetStatus()` with `Invalidate()` to make sure non-ok BlockIter is always invalid.
* PlainTableIterator - some seeks used to not reset status.
* CuckooTableIterator - tiny code cleanup.
* ManagedIterator - fixed some bugs.
* BaseDeltaIterator - changed to the new convention and fixed a bug.
* BlobDBIterator - seeks used to not reset status.
* KeyConvertingIterator - some small change.

Summary:
Three small optimizations:
(1) iter_->IsKeyPinned() shouldn't be called if read_options.pin_data is not true. This may trigger function call all the way down the iterator tree.
(2) reuse the iterator key object in DBIter::FindNextUserEntryInternal(). The constructor of the class has some overheads.
(3) Move the switching direction logic in MergingIterator::Next() to a separate function.
These three in total improves readseq performance by about 3% in my benchmark setting.

By making InternalKeyComparator final and merging iterator to directly use InternalKeyComparator rather than through Iterator interface, we can give compiler a choice to avoid one more virtual function call if possible.
