Summary:
In RocksDB, keys are associated with (internal) sequence numbers which denote when the keys are written
to the database. Sequence numbers in different RocksDB instances are unrelated, thus not comparable.
It is nice if we can associate sequence numbers with their corresponding actual timestamps. One thing we can
do is to support user-defined timestamp, which allows the applications to specify the format of custom timestamps
and encode a timestamp with each key. More details can be found at https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/User-defined-Timestamp-%28Experimental%29.
This PR provides a different but complementary approach. We can associate rocksdb snapshots (defined in
https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/blob/7.2.fb/include/rocksdb/snapshot.h#L20) with **user-specified** timestamps.
Since a snapshot is essentially an object representing a sequence number, this PR establishes a bi-directional mapping between sequence numbers and timestamps.
In the past, snapshots are usually taken by readers. The current super-version is grabbed, and a `rocksdb::Snapshot`
object is created with the last published sequence number of the super-version. You can see that the reader actually
has no good idea of what timestamp to assign to this snapshot, because by the time the `GetSnapshot()` is called,
an arbitrarily long period of time may have already elapsed since the last write, which is when the last published
sequence number is written.
This observation motivates the creation of "timestamped" snapshots on the write path. Currently, this functionality is
exposed only to the layer of `TransactionDB`. Application can tell RocksDB to create a snapshot when a transaction
commits, effectively associating the last sequence number with a timestamp. It is also assumed that application will
ensure any two snapshots with timestamps should satisfy the following:
```
snapshot1.seq < snapshot2.seq iff. snapshot1.ts < snapshot2.ts
```
If the application can guarantee that when a reader takes a timestamped snapshot, there is no active writes going on
in the database, then we also allow the user to use a new API `TransactionDB::CreateTimestampedSnapshot()` to create
a snapshot with associated timestamp.
Code example
```cpp
// Create a timestamped snapshot when committing transaction.
txn->SetCommitTimestamp(100);
txn->SetSnapshotOnNextOperation();
txn->Commit();
// A wrapper API for convenience
Status Transaction::CommitAndTryCreateSnapshot(
std::shared_ptr<TransactionNotifier> notifier,
TxnTimestamp ts,
std::shared_ptr<const Snapshot>* ret);
// Create a timestamped snapshot if caller guarantees no concurrent writes
std::pair<Status, std::shared_ptr<const Snapshot>> snapshot = txn_db->CreateTimestampedSnapshot(100);
```
The snapshots created in this way will be managed by RocksDB with ref-counting and potentially shared with
other readers. We provide the following APIs for readers to retrieve a snapshot given a timestamp.
```cpp
// Return the timestamped snapshot correponding to given timestamp. If ts is
// kMaxTxnTimestamp, then we return the latest timestamped snapshot if present.
// Othersise, we return the snapshot whose timestamp is equal to `ts`. If no
// such snapshot exists, then we return null.
std::shared_ptr<const Snapshot> TransactionDB::GetTimestampedSnapshot(TxnTimestamp ts) const;
// Return the latest timestamped snapshot if present.
std::shared_ptr<const Snapshot> TransactionDB::GetLatestTimestampedSnapshot() const;
```
We also provide two additional APIs for stats collection and reporting purposes.
```cpp
Status TransactionDB::GetAllTimestampedSnapshots(
std::vector<std::shared_ptr<const Snapshot>>& snapshots) const;
// Return timestamped snapshots whose timestamps fall in [ts_lb, ts_ub) and store them in `snapshots`.
Status TransactionDB::GetTimestampedSnapshots(
TxnTimestamp ts_lb,
TxnTimestamp ts_ub,
std::vector<std::shared_ptr<const Snapshot>>& snapshots) const;
```
To prevent the number of timestamped snapshots from growing infinitely, we provide the following API to release
timestamped snapshots whose timestamps are older than or equal to a given threshold.
```cpp
void TransactionDB::ReleaseTimestampedSnapshotsOlderThan(TxnTimestamp ts);
```
Before shutdown, RocksDB will release all timestamped snapshots.
Comparison with user-defined timestamp and how they can be combined:
User-defined timestamp persists every key with a timestamp, while timestamped snapshots maintain a volatile
mapping between snapshots (sequence numbers) and timestamps.
Different internal keys with the same user key but different timestamps will be treated as different by compaction,
thus a newer version will not hide older versions (with smaller timestamps) unless they are eligible for garbage collection.
In contrast, taking a timestamped snapshot at a certain sequence number and timestamp prevents all the keys visible in
this snapshot from been dropped by compaction. Here, visible means (seq < snapshot and most recent).
The timestamped snapshot supports the semantics of reading at an exact point in time.
Timestamped snapshots can also be used with user-defined timestamp.

Summary:
It's always annoying to find a header does not include its own
dependencies and only works when included after other includes. This
change adds `make check-headers` which validates that each header can
be included at the top of a file. Some headers are excluded e.g. because
of platform or external dependencies.
rocksdb_namespace.h had to be re-worked slightly to enable checking for
failure to include it. (ROCKSDB_NAMESPACE is a valid namespace name.)
Fixes mostly involve adding and cleaning up #includes, but for
FileTraceWriter, a constructor was out-of-lined to make a forward
declaration sufficient.
This check is not currently run with `make check` but is added to
CircleCI build-linux-unity since that one is already relatively fast.

Summary:
Part of compaction cpu goes to processing snapshot list, the larger the list the bigger the overhead. Although the lifetime of most of the snapshots is much shorter than the lifetime of compactions, the compaction conservatively operates on the list of snapshots that it initially obtained. This patch allows the snapshot list to be updated via a callback if the compaction is taking long. This should let the compaction to continue more efficiently with much smaller snapshot list.
For simplicity, to avoid the feature is disabled in two cases: i) When more than one sub-compaction are sharing the same snapshot list, ii) when Range Delete is used in which the range delete aggregator has its own copy of snapshot list.
This fixes the reverted https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/5099 issue with range deletes.

Summary:
WriteUnPrepared adds a virtual function, MaxUnpreparedSequenceNumber, to ReadCallback, which returns 0 unless WriteUnPrepared is enabled and the transaction has uncommitted data written to the DB. Together with snapshot sequence number, this determines the last sequence that is visible to reads.
The patch clarifies the guarantees of the GetIterator API in WriteUnPrepared transactions and make use of that to statically initialize the read callback and thus avoid the virtual call.
Furthermore it increases the minimum value for min_uncommitted from 0 to 1 as seq 0 is used only for last level keys that are committed in all snapshots.

Summary:
The vector returned by SnapshotList::GetAll could have duplicate entries if two separate snapshots have the same sequence number. However, when this vector is used in compaction the duplicate entires are of no use and could be safely ignored. Moreover not having duplicate entires simplifies reasoning in the compaction_iterator.cc code. For example when searching for the previous_snap we currently use the snapshot before the current one but the way the code uses that it expects it to be also less than the current snapshot, which would be simpler to read if there is no duplicate entry in the snapshot list.

Summary:
There are two issues with `VisibleToActiveSnapshot`:
1. If there are no snapshots, `oldest_snapshot` will be 0 and `VisibleToActiveSnapshot` will always return true. Since the method is used to decide whether it is safe to delete obsolete files, obsolete file won't be able to delete in this case.
2. The `auto` keyword of `auto snapshots = db_impl_->snapshots()` translate to a copy of `const SnapshotList` instead of a reference. Since copy constructor of `SnapshotList` is not defined, using the copy may yield unexpected result.
Issue 2 actually hide issue 1 from being catch by tests. During test `snapshots.empty()` can return false while it should actually be empty, and `snapshots.oldest()` return an invalid address, making `oldest_snapshot` being some random large number.
The issue was originally reported by BlobDB early adopter at Kuaishou.

Summary:
The is an optimization to reduce lookup in the CommitCache when querying IsInSnapshot. The optimization takes the smallest uncommitted data at the time that the snapshot was taken and if the sequence number of the read data is lower than that number it assumes the data as committed.
To implement this optimization two changes are required: i) The AddPrepared function must be called sequentially to avoid out of order insertion in the PrepareHeap (otherwise the top of the heap does not indicate the smallest prepare in future too), ii) non-2PC transactions also call AddPrepared if they do not commit in one step.

Summary:
Previously we store sequence number range of each blob files, and use the sequence number range to check if the file can be possibly visible by a snapshot. But it adds complexity to the code, since the sequence number is only available after a write. (The current implementation get sequence number by calling GetLatestSequenceNumber(), which is wrong.) With the patch, we are not storing sequence number range, and check if snapshot_sequence < obsolete_sequence to decide if the file is visible by a snapshot (previously we check if first_sequence <= snapshot_sequence < obsolete_sequence).

Summary:
Blob db will keep blob file if data in the file is visible to an active snapshot. Before this patch it checks whether there is an active snapshot has sequence number greater than the earliest sequence in the file. This is problematic since we take snapshot on every read, if it keep having reads, old blob files will not be cleanup. Change to check if there is an active snapshot falls in the range of [earliest_sequence, obsolete_sequence) where obsolete sequence is
1. if data is relocated to another file by garbage collection, it is the latest sequence at the time garbage collection finish
2. otherwise, it is the latest sequence of the file

Summary:
Currently, transactions can fail even if there is no actual write conflict. This is due to relying on only the memtables to check for write-conflicts. Users have to tune memtable settings to try to avoid this, but it's hard to figure out exactly how to tune these settings.
With this diff, TransactionDB will use both memtables and SST files to determine if there are any write conflicts. This relies on the fact that BlockBasedTable stores sequence numbers for all writes that happen after any open snapshot. Also, D50295 is needed to prevent SingleDelete from disappearing writes (the TODOs in this test code will be fixed once the other diff is approved and merged).
Note that Optimistic transactions will still rely on tuning memtable settings as we do not want to read from SST while on the write thread. Also, memtable settings can still be used to reduce how often TransactionDB needs to read SST files.

Summary:
D50475 enables using SST files for transaction write-conflict checking. In order for this to work, we need to make sure not to compact out SingleDeletes when there is an earlier transaction snapshot(D50295). If there is a long-held snapshot, this could reduce the benefit of the SingleDelete optimization.
This diff allows Transactions to mark snapshots as being used for write-conflict checking. Then, during compaction, we will be able to optimize SingleDeletes better in the future.
This diff adds a flag to SnapshotImpl which is used by Transactions. This diff also passes the earliest write-conflict snapshot's sequence number to CompactionIterator. This diff does not actually change Compaction (after this diff is pushed, D50295 will be able to use this information).
