Since Andres' internship is over, I took over https://reviews.facebook.net/D42555 and rebased and simplified it a bit.
The behavior in this diff is a bit simpler than in D42555:
* only merge operators are passed through FilterMergeValue(). If fitler function returns true, the merge operator is ignored
* compaction filter is *not* called on: 1) results of merge operations and 2) base values that are getting merged with merge operands (the second case was also true in previous diff)
Do we also need a compaction filter to get called on merge results?

Summary:
Up to this point, the subcompactions that make up a compaction
job have been divided based on the key range of the L1 files, and each
subcompaction has handled the key range of only one file. However
DBOption.max_subcompactions allows the user to designate how many
subcompactions at most to perform. This patch updates the
CompactionJob::GetSubcompactionBoundaries() to determine these
divisions accordingly based on that option and other input/system factors.
The current approach orders the starting and/or ending keys of certain
compaction input files and then generates a histogram to approximate the
size covered by the key range between each consecutive pair of keys. Then
it groups these ranges into groups so that the sizes are approximately equal
to one another. The approach has also been adapted to work for universal
compaction as well instead of just for level-based compaction as it was before.
These subcompactions are then executed in parallel by locally spawning
threads, one for each. The results are then aggregated and the compaction
completed.

Summary:
In D43239 (https://reviews.facebook.net/D43239) there is an
assertion to make sure a subcompaction's output is never empty at the
end of execution. This assertion however breaks the build because some
tests lead to exactly that scenario. So instead I have altered the logic
to handle this case instead of just failing the assertion.
The reason that it is possible for a subcompaction's output to be empty is
that during a sequential execution of subcompactions, if a user aborts the
compaction job then some of the later subcompactions to be executed may
have yet to process any keys and therefore have yet to generate output files.
This becomes very rare once the subcompactions are executed in parallel,
but for now they are still sequential so the case is possible when there is an
early termination, as in some of the tests.

While working on supporting mixing merge operators with
single deletes ( https://reviews.facebook.net/D43179 ),
I realized that returning and dealing with merge results
can be made simpler. Submitting this as a separate diff
because it is not directly related to single deletes.
Before, callers of merge helper had to retrieve the merge
result in one of two ways depending on whether the merge
was successful or not (success = result of merge was single
kTypeValue). For successful merges, the caller could query
the resulting key/value pair and for unsuccessful merges,
the result could be retrieved in the form of two deques of
keys and values. However, with single deletes, a successful merge
does not return a single key/value pair (if merge
operands are merged with a single delete, we have to generate
a value and keep the original single delete around to make
sure that we are not accidentially producing a key overwrite).
In addition, the two existing call sites of the merge
helper were taking the same actions independently from whether
the merge was successful or not, so this patch simplifies that.

Summary:
As of now compactions involving files from Level 0 and Level 1 are single
threaded because the files in L0, although sorted, are not range partitioned like
the other levels. This means that during L0-L1 compaction each file from L1
needs to be merged with potentially all the files from L0.
This attempt to parallelize the L0-L1 compaction assigns a thread and a
corresponding iterator to each L1 file that then considers only the key range
found in that L1 file and only the L0 files that have those keys (and only the
specific portion of those L0 files in which those keys are found). In this way
the overlap is minimized and potentially eliminated between different iterators
focusing on the same files.
The first step is to restructure the compaction logic to break L0-L1 compactions
into multiple, smaller, sequential compactions. Eventually each of these smaller
jobs will be run simultaneously. Areas to pay extra attention to are
# Correct aggregation of compaction job statistics across multiple threads
# Proper opening/closing of output files (make sure each thread's is unique)
# Keys that span multiple L1 files
# Skewed distributions of keys within L0 files

Summary:
The goal of this diff is to make Compaction class easier to use. This should also make new compaction algorithms easier to write (like CompactFiles from @yhchiang and dynamic leveled and multi-leveled universal from @sdong).
Here are couple of things demonstrating that Compaction class is hard to use:
1. we have two constructors of Compaction class
2. there's this thing called grandparents_, but it appears to only be setup for leveled compaction and not compactfiles
3. it's easy to introduce a subtle and dangerous bug like this: D36225
4. SetupBottomMostLevel() is hard to understand and it shouldn't be. See this comment: afbafeaeae/db/compaction.cc (L236-L241). It also made it harder for @yhchiang to write CompactFiles, as evidenced by this: afbafeaeae/db/compaction_picker.cc (L204-L210)
The problem is that we create Compaction object, which holds a lot of state, and then pass it around to some functions. After those functions are done mutating, then we call couple of functions on Compaction object, like SetupBottommostLevel() and MarkFilesBeingCompacted(). It is very hard to see what's happening with all that Compaction's state while it's travelling across different functions. If you're writing a new PickCompaction() function you need to try really hard to understand what are all the functions you need to run on Compaction object and what state you need to setup.
My proposed solution is to make important parts of Compaction immutable after construction. PickCompaction() should calculate compaction inputs and then pass them onto Compaction object once they are finalized. That makes it easy to create a new compaction -- just provide all the parameters to the constructor and you're done. No need to call confusing functions after you created your object.
This diff doesn't fully achieve that goal, but it comes pretty close. Here are some of the changes:
* have one Compaction constructor instead of two.
* inputs_ is constant after construction
* MarkFilesBeingCompacted() is now private to Compaction class and automatically called on construction/destruction.
* SetupBottommostLevel() is gone. Compaction figures it out on its own based on the input.
* CompactionPicker's functions are not passing around Compaction object anymore. They are only passing around the state that they need.
Test Plan:
make check
make asan_check
make valgrind_check
