Summary:
Changes the API of the MemPurge process: the `bool experimental_allow_mempurge` and `experimental_mempurge_policy` flags have been replaced by a `double experimental_mempurge_threshold` option.
This change of API reflects another major change introduced in this PR: the MemPurgeDecider() function now works by sampling the memtables being flushed to estimate the overall amount of useful payload (payload minus the garbage), and then compare this useful payload estimate with the `double experimental_mempurge_threshold` value.
Therefore, when the value of this flag is `0.0` (default value), mempurge is simply deactivated. On the other hand, a value of `DBL_MAX` would be equivalent to always going through a mempurge regardless of the garbage ratio estimate.
At the moment, a `double experimental_mempurge_threshold` value else than 0.0 or `DBL_MAX` is opnly supported`with the `SkipList` memtable representation.
Regarding the sampling, this PR includes the introduction of a `MemTable::UniqueRandomSample` function that collects (approximately) random entries from the memtable by using the new `SkipList::Iterator::RandomSeek()` under the hood, or by iterating through each memtable entry, depending on the target sample size and the total number of entries.
The unit tests have been readapted to support this new API.

Summary:
Prior to this change, the "wal_dir" DBOption would always be set (defaults to dbname) when the DBOptions were sanitized. Because of this setitng in the options file, it was not possible to rename/relocate a database directory after it had been created and use the existing options file.
After this change, the "wal_dir" option is only set under specific circumstances. Methods were added to the ImmutableDBOptions class to see if it is set and if it is set to something other than the dbname. Additionally, a method was added to retrieve the effective value of the WAL dir (either the option or the dbname/path).
Tests were added to the core and ldb to test that a database could be created and renamed without issue. Additional tests for various permutations of wal_dir were also added.

Summary:
Add `experimental_mempurge_policy` option flag and introduce two new `MemPurge` (Memtable Garbage Collection) policies: 'ALWAYS' and 'ALTERNATE'. Default value: ALTERNATE.
`ALWAYS`: every flush will first go through a `MemPurge` process. If the output is too big to fit into a single memtable, then the mempurge is aborted and a regular flush process carries on. `ALWAYS` is designed for user that need to reduce the number of L0 SST file created to a strict minimum, and can afford a small dent in performance (possibly hits to CPU usage, read efficiency, and maximum burst write throughput).
`ALTERNATE`: a flush is transformed into a `MemPurge` except if one of the memtables being flushed is the product of a previous `MemPurge`. `ALTERNATE` is a good tradeoff between reduction in number of L0 SST files created and performance. `ALTERNATE` perform particularly well for completely random garbage ratios, or garbage ratios anywhere in (0%,50%], and even higher when there is a wild variability in garbage ratios.
This PR also includes support for `experimental_mempurge_policy` in `db_bench`.
Testing was done locally by replacing all the `MemPurge` policies of the unit tests with `ALTERNATE`, as well as local testing with `db_crashtest.py` `whitebox` and `blackbox`. Overall, if an `ALWAYS` mempurge policy passes the tests, there is no reasons why an `ALTERNATE` policy would fail, and therefore the mempurge policy was set to `ALWAYS` for all mempurge unit tests.

Summary:
Implement an experimental feature called "MemPurge", which consists in purging "garbage" bytes out of a memtable and reuse the memtable struct instead of making it immutable and eventually flushing its content to storage.
The prototype is by default deactivated and is not intended for use. It is intended for correctness and validation testing. At the moment, the "MemPurge" feature can be switched on by using the `options.experimental_allow_mempurge` flag. For this early stage, when the allow_mempurge flag is set to `true`, all the flush operations will be rerouted to perform a MemPurge. This is a temporary design decision that will give us the time to explore meaningful heuristics to use MemPurge at the right time for relevant workloads . Moreover, the current MemPurge operation only supports `Puts`, `Deletes`, `DeleteRange` operations, and handles `Iterators` as well as `CompactionFilter`s that are invoked at flush time .
Three unit tests are added to `db_flush_test.cc` to test if MemPurge works correctly (and checks that the previously mentioned operations are fully supported thoroughly tested).
One noticeable design decision is the timing of the MemPurge operation in the memtable workflow: for this prototype, the mempurge happens when the memtable is switched (and usually made immutable). This is an inefficient process because it implies that the entirety of the MemPurge operation happens while holding the db_mutex. Future commits will make the MemPurge operation a background task (akin to the regular flush operation) and aim at drastically enhancing the performance of this operation. The MemPurge is also not fully "WAL-compatible" yet, but when the WAL is full, or when the regular MemPurge operation fails (or when the purged memtable still needs to be flushed), a regular flush operation takes place. Later commits will also correct these behaviors.

readrandom tests do not show any performance degradation versus master (though both are slightly slower than the current 6.19 release).
There are still fields in the ImmutableCFOptions that are not CF options but DB options. Eventually, I would like to move those into an ImmutableOptions (= ImmutableDBOptions+ImmutableCFOptions). But that will be part of a future PR to minimize changes and disruptions.

Summary:
For performance purposes, the lower level routines were changed to use a SystemClock* instead of a std::shared_ptr<SystemClock>. The shared ptr has some performance degradation on certain hardware classes.
For most of the system, there is no risk of the pointer being deleted/invalid because the shared_ptr will be stored elsewhere. For example, the ImmutableDBOptions stores the Env which has a std::shared_ptr<SystemClock> in it. The SystemClock* within the ImmutableDBOptions is essentially a "short cut" to gain access to this constant resource.
There were a few classes (PeriodicWorkScheduler?) where the "short cut" property did not hold. In those cases, the shared pointer was preserved.

In this PR, we use the new API in WritableFileWriter, such that the file created via WritableFileWrite can pass the checksum to the storage layer. To control which types file should apply the checksum handoff, we add checksum_handoff_file_types to DBOptions. User can use this option to control which file types (Currently supported file tyes: kLogFile, kTableFile, kDescriptorFile.) should use the new Append and PositionedAppend APIs to handoff the verification information.

Summary:
There are situations when RocksDB tries to recover, but the db is in an inconsistent state due to SST files referenced in the MANIFEST being missing. In this case, previous RocksDB will just fail the recovery and return a non-ok status.
This PR enables another possibility. During recovery, RocksDB checks possible MANIFEST files, and try to recover to the most recent state without missing table file. `VersionSet::Recover()` applies version edits incrementally and "materializes" a version only when this version does not reference any missing table file. After processing the entire MANIFEST, the version created last will be the latest version.
`DBImpl::Recover()` calls `VersionSet::Recover()`. Afterwards, WAL replay will *not* be performed.
To use this capability, set `options.best_efforts_recovery = true` when opening the db. Best-efforts recovery is currently incompatible with atomic flush.

```
$make check
$COMPILE_WITH_ASAN=1 make all && make check

Summary:
When paranoid_checks is on, DBImpl::CheckConsistency() iterates over all sst files and calls Env::GetFileSize() for each of them. As far as I could understand, this is pretty arbitrary and doesn't affect correctness - if filesystem doesn't corrupt fsynced files, the file sizes will always match; if it does, it may as well corrupt contents as well as sizes, and rocksdb doesn't check contents on open.
If there are thousands of sst files, getting all their sizes takes a while. If, on top of that, Env is overridden to use some remote storage instead of local filesystem, it can be *really* slow and overload the remote storage service. This PR adds an option to not do GetFileSize(); instead it does GetChildren() for parent directory to check that all the expected sst files are at least present, but doesn't check their sizes.
We can't just disable paranoid_checks instead because paranoid_checks do a few other important things: make the DB read-only on write errors, print error messages on read errors, etc.

Summary:
The current Env API encompasses both storage/file operations, as well as OS related operations. Most of the APIs return a Status, which does not have enough metadata about an error, such as whether its retry-able or not, scope (i.e fault domain) of the error etc., that may be required in order to properly handle a storage error. The file APIs also do not provide enough control over the IO SLA, such as timeout, prioritization, hinting about placement and redundancy etc.
This PR separates out the file/storage APIs from Env into a new FileSystem class. The APIs are updated to return an IOStatus with metadata about the error, as well as to take an IOOptions structure as input in order to allow more control over the IO.
The user can set both ```options.env``` and ```options.file_system``` to specify that RocksDB should use the former for OS related operations and the latter for storage operations. Internally, a ```CompositeEnvWrapper``` has been introduced that inherits from ```Env``` and redirects individual methods to either an ```Env``` implementation or the ```FileSystem``` as appropriate. When options are sanitized during ```DB::Open```, ```options.env``` is replaced with a newly allocated ```CompositeEnvWrapper``` instance if both env and file_system have been specified. This way, the rest of the RocksDB code can continue to function as before.
This PR also ports PosixEnv to the new API by splitting it into two - PosixEnv and PosixFileSystem. PosixEnv is defined as a sub-class of CompositeEnvWrapper, and threading/time functions are overridden with Posix specific implementations in order to avoid an extra level of indirection.
The ```CompositeEnvWrapper``` translates ```IOStatus``` return code to ```Status```, and sets the severity to ```kSoftError``` if the io_status is retryable. The error handling code in RocksDB can then recover the DB automatically.

This unique ID right now is stored as plain text in file IDENTITY under the DB directory. This approach introduces at least two problems: (1) the file is not checksumed; (2) the source of truth of a DB is the manifest file, which can be copied separately from IDENTITY file, causing the DB ID to be wrong.
The goal of this PR is solve this problem by moving the DB ID to manifest. To begin with we will write to both identity file and manifest. Write to Manifest is controlled via the flag write_dbid_to_manifest in Options and default is false.

Summary:
Performing unordered writes in rocksdb when unordered_write option is set to true. When enabled the writes to memtable are done without joining any write thread. This offers much higher write throughput since the upcoming writes would not have to wait for the slowest memtable write to finish. The tradeoff is that the writes visible to a snapshot might change over time. If the application cannot tolerate that, it should implement its own mechanisms to work around that. Using TransactionDB with WRITE_PREPARED write policy is one way to achieve that. Doing so increases the max throughput by 2.2x without however compromising the snapshot guarantees.
The patch is prepared based on an original by siying

Summary:
The existing implementation does not guarantee bytes reach disk every `bytes_per_sync` when writing SST files, or every `wal_bytes_per_sync` when writing WALs. This can cause confusing behavior for users who enable this feature to avoid large syncs during flush and compaction, but then end up hitting them anyways.
My understanding of the existing behavior is we used `sync_file_range` with `SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE` to submit ranges for async writeback, such that we could continue processing the next range of bytes while that I/O is happening. I believe we can preserve that benefit while also limiting how far the processing can get ahead of the I/O, which prevents huge syncs from happening when the file finishes.
Consider this `sync_file_range` usage: `sync_file_range(fd_, 0, static_cast<off_t>(offset + nbytes), SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE | SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE)`. Expanding the range to start at 0 and adding the `SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE` flag causes any pending writeback (like from a previous call to `sync_file_range`) to finish before it proceeds to submit the latest `nbytes` for writeback. The latest `nbytes` are still written back asynchronously, unless processing exceeds I/O speed, in which case the following `sync_file_range` will need to wait on it.
There is a second change in this PR to use `fdatasync` when `sync_file_range` is unavailable (determined statically) or has some known problem with the underlying filesystem (determined dynamically).
The above two changes only apply when the user enables a new option, `strict_bytes_per_sync`.

Summary:
Just like ReadOptions::background_purge_on_iterator_cleanup but for ColumnFamilyHandle instead of Iterator.
In our use case we sometimes call ColumnFamilyHandle's destructor from low-latency threads, and sometimes it blocks the thread for a few seconds deleting the files. To avoid that, we can either offload ColumnFamilyHandle's destruction to a background thread on our side, or add this option on rocksdb side. This PR does the latter, to be consistent with how we solve exactly the same problem for iterators using background_purge_on_iterator_cleanup option.
(EDIT: It's avoid_unnecessary_blocking_io now, and affects both CF drops and iterator destructors.)
I'm not quite comfortable with having two separate options (background_purge_on_iterator_cleanup and background_purge_on_cf_cleanup) for such a rarely used thing. Maybe we should merge them? Rename background_purge_on_cf_cleanup to something like delete_files_on_background_threads_only or avoid_blocking_io_in_unexpected_places, and make iterators use it instead of the one in ReadOptions? I can do that here if you guys think it's better.

Summary:
This PR adds public `GetStatsHistory` API to retrieve stats history in the form of an std map. The key of the map is the timestamp in microseconds when the stats snapshot is taken, the value is another std map from stats name to stats value (stored in std string). Two DBOptions are introduced: `stats_persist_period_sec` (default 10 minutes) controls the intervals between two snapshots are taken; `max_stats_history_count` (default 10) controls the max number of history snapshots to keep in memory. RocksDB will stop collecting stats snapshots if `stats_persist_period_sec` is set to 0.

Summary:
The motivation for this PR is to add to RocksDB support for differential (incremental) snapshots, as snapshot of the DB changes between two points in time (one can think of it as diff between to sequence numbers, or the diff D which can be thought of as an SST file or just set of KVs that can be applied to sequence number S1 to get the database to the state at sequence number S2).
This feature would be useful for various distributed storages layers built on top of RocksDB, as it should help reduce resources (time and network bandwidth) needed to recover and rebuilt DB instances as replicas in the context of distributed storages.
From the API standpoint that would like client app requesting iterator between (start seqnum) and current DB state, and reading the "diff".
This is a very draft PR for initial review in the discussion on the approach, i'm going to rework some parts and keep updating the PR.
For now, what's done here according to initial discussions:
Preserving deletes:
- We want to be able to optionally preserve recent deletes for some defined period of time, so that if a delete came in recently and might need to be included in the next incremental snapshot it would't get dropped by a compaction. This is done by adding new param to Options (preserve deletes flag) and new variable to DB Impl where we keep track of the sequence number after which we don't want to drop tombstones, even if they are otherwise eligible for deletion.
- I also added a new API call for clients to be able to advance this cutoff seqnum after which we drop deletes; i assume it's more flexible to let clients control this, since otherwise we'd need to keep some kind of timestamp < -- > seqnum mapping inside the DB, which sounds messy and painful to support. Clients could make use of it by periodically calling GetLatestSequenceNumber(), noting the timestamp, doing some calculation and figuring out by how much we need to advance the cutoff seqnum.
- Compaction codepath in compaction_iterator.cc has been modified to avoid dropping tombstones with seqnum > cutoff seqnum.
Iterator changes:
- couple params added to ReadOptions, to optionally allow client to request internal keys instead of user keys (so that client can get the latest value of a key, be it delete marker or a put), as well as min timestamp and min seqnum.
TableCache changes:
- I modified table_cache code to be able to quickly exclude SST files from iterators heep if creation_time on the file is less then iter_start_ts as passed in ReadOptions. That would help a lot in some DB settings (like reading very recent data only or using FIFO compactions), but not so much for universal compaction with more or less long iterator time span.
What's left:
- Still looking at how to best plug that inside DBIter codepath. So far it seems that FindNextUserKeyInternal only parses values as UserKeys, and iter->key() call generally returns user key. Can we add new API to DBIter as internal_key(), and modify this internal method to optionally set saved_key_ to point to the full internal key? I don't need to store actual seqnum there, but I do need to store type.

Summary:
By default the seq number in DB is increased once per written key. WritePrepared txns requires the seq to be increased once per the entire batch so that the seq would be used as the prepare timestamp by which the transaction is identified. Also we need to increase seq for the commit marker since it would give a unique id to the commit timestamp of transactions.
Two unit tests are added to verify our understanding of how the seq should be increased. The recovery path requires much more work and is left to another patch.

Summary:
Throughput: 46k tps in our sysbench settings (filling the details later)
The idea is to have the simplest change that gives us a reasonable boost
in 2PC throughput.
Major design changes:
1. The WAL file internal buffer is not flushed after each write. Instead
it is flushed before critical operations (WAL copy via fs) or when
FlushWAL is called by MySQL. Flushing the WAL buffer is also protected
via mutex_.
2. Use two sequence numbers: last seq, and last seq for write. Last seq
is the last visible sequence number for reads. Last seq for write is the
next sequence number that should be used to write to WAL/memtable. This
allows to have a memtable write be in parallel to WAL writes.
3. BatchGroup is not used for writes. This means that we can have
parallel writers which changes a major assumption in the code base. To
accommodate for that i) allow only 1 WriteImpl that intends to write to
memtable via mem_mutex_--which is fine since in 2PC almost all of the memtable writes
come via group commit phase which is serial anyway, ii) make all the
parts in the code base that assumed to be the only writer (via
EnterUnbatched) to also acquire mem_mutex_, iii) stat updates are
protected via a stat_mutex_.
Note: the first commit has the approach figured out but is not clean.
Submitting the PR anyway to get the early feedback on the approach. If
we are ok with the approach I will go ahead with this updates:
0) Rebase with Yi's pipelining changes
1) Currently batching is disabled by default to make sure that it will be
consistent with all unit tests. Will make this optional via a config.
2) A couple of unit tests are disabled. They need to be updated with the
serial commit of 2PC taken into account.
3) Replacing BatchGroup with mem_mutex_ got a bit ugly as it requires
releasing mutex_ beforehand (the same way EnterUnbatched does). This
needs to be cleaned up.

Summary:
- `max_background_flushes` and `max_background_compactions` are still supported for backwards compatibility
- `base_background_compactions` is completely deprecated. Now we just throttle to one background compaction when there's no pressure.
- `max_background_jobs` is added to automatically partition the concurrent background jobs into flushes vs compactions. Currently it's very simple as we just allocate one-fourth of the jobs to flushes, and the remaining can be used for compactions.
- The test cases that set `base_background_compactions > 1` needed to be updated. I just grab the pressure token such that the desired number of compactions can be scheduled.

Summary:
PipelineWriteImpl is an alternative approach to WriteImpl. In WriteImpl, only one thread is allow to write at the same time. This thread will do both WAL and memtable writes for all write threads in the write group. Pending writers wait in queue until the current writer finishes. In the pipeline write approach, two queue is maintained: one WAL writer queue and one memtable writer queue. All writers (regardless of whether they need to write WAL) will still need to first join the WAL writer queue, and after the house keeping work and WAL writing, they will need to join memtable writer queue if needed. The benefit of this approach is that
1. Writers without memtable writes (e.g. the prepare phase of two phase commit) can exit write thread once WAL write is finish. They don't need to wait for memtable writes in case of group commit.
2. Pending writers only need to wait for previous WAL writer finish to be able to join the write thread, instead of wait also for previous memtable writes.

Summary:
First cut for early review; there are few conceptual points to answer and some code structure issues.
For conceptual points -
- restriction-wise, we're going to disallow ingest_behind if (use_seqno_zero_out=true || disable_auto_compaction=false), the user is responsible to properly open and close DB with required params
- we wanted to ingest into reserved bottom most level. Should we fail fast if bottom level isn't empty, or should we attempt to ingest if file fits there key-ranges-wise?
- Modifying AssignLevelForIngestedFile seems the place we we'd handle that.
On code structure - going to refactor GenerateAndAddExternalFile call in the test class to allow passing instance of IngestionOptions, that's just going to incur lots of changes at callsites.
