Summary:
The following are risks associated with pointer-to-pointer reinterpret_cast:
* Can produce the "wrong result" (crash or memory corruption). IIRC, in theory this can happen for any up-cast or down-cast for a non-standard-layout type, though in practice would only happen for multiple inheritance cases (where the base class pointer might be "inside" the derived object). We don't use multiple inheritance a lot, but we do.
* Can mask useful compiler errors upon code change, including converting between unrelated pointer types that you are expecting to be related, and converting between pointer and scalar types unintentionally.
I can only think of some obscure cases where static_cast could be troublesome when it compiles as a replacement:
* Going through `void*` could plausibly cause unnecessary or broken pointer arithmetic. Suppose we have
`struct Derived: public Base1, public Base2`. If we have `Derived*` -> `void*` -> `Base2*` -> `Derived*` through reinterpret casts, this could plausibly work (though technical UB) assuming the `Base2*` is not dereferenced. Changing to static cast could introduce breaking pointer arithmetic.
* Unnecessary (but safe) pointer arithmetic could arise in a case like `Derived*` -> `Base2*` -> `Derived*` where before the Base2 pointer might not have been dereferenced. This could potentially affect performance.
With some light scripting, I tried replacing pointer-to-pointer reinterpret_casts with static_cast and kept the cases that still compile. Most occurrences of reinterpret_cast have successfully been changed (except for java/ and third-party/). 294 changed, 257 remain.
A couple of related interventions included here:
* Previously Cache::Handle was not actually derived from in the implementations and just used as a `void*` stand-in with reinterpret_cast. Now there is a relationship to allow static_cast. In theory, this could introduce pointer arithmetic (as described above) but is unlikely without multiple inheritance AND non-empty Cache::Handle.
* Remove some unnecessary casts to void* as this is allowed to be implicit (for better or worse).
Most of the remaining reinterpret_casts are for converting to/from raw bytes of objects. We could consider better idioms for these patterns in follow-up work.
I wish there were a way to implement a template variant of static_cast that would only compile if no pointer arithmetic is generated, but best I can tell, this is not possible. AFAIK the best you could do is a dynamic check that the void* conversion after the static cast is unchanged.

Summary:
* Add some options to cache_bench to use JemallocNodumpAllocator
* Make num_shard_bits option use and report cache-specific defaults
* Add a usleep option to sleep between operations, for simulating a workload with more CPU idle/wait time.
* Use const& for JemallocAllocatorOptions, to improve API usability (e.g. can bind to temporary `{}`)
* InstallStackTraceHandler()

Summary:
* JemallocNodumpAllocator was passing a size_t to FastRange32, which could cause compilation errors or warnings (seen with clang)
* Fixed the order of arguments to match what would be used with modulo operator (%), for clarity.

Summary:
We haven't been actively mantaining RocksDB LITE recently and the size must have been gone up significantly. We are removing the support.
Most of changes were done through following comments:
unifdef -m -UROCKSDB_LITE `git grep -l ROCKSDB_LITE | egrep '[.](cc|h)'`
by Peter Dillinger. Others changes were manually applied to build scripts, CircleCI manifests, ROCKSDB_LITE is used in an expression and file db_stress_test_base.cc.

Summary:
ToString() is created as some platform doesn't support std::to_string(). However, we've already used std::to_string() by mistake for 16 months (in db/db_info_dumper.cc). This commit just remove ToString().

Summary:
- Make MemoryAllocator and its implementations into a Customizable class.
- Added a "DefaultMemoryAllocator" which uses new and delete
- Added a "CountedMemoryAllocator" that counts the number of allocs and free
- Updated the existing tests to use these new allocators
- Changed the memkind allocator test into a generic test that can test the various allocators.
- Added tests for creating all of the allocators
- Added tests to verify/create the JemallocNodumpAllocator using its options.

Summary:
When dynamically linking two binaries together, different builds of RocksDB from two sources might cause errors. To provide a tool for user to solve the problem, the RocksDB namespace is changed to a flag which can be overridden in build time.
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/6433
Test Plan: Build release, all and jtest. Try to build with ROCKSDB_NAMESPACE with another flag.
