@dhruba, I'm not sure where we need to sync the directory. I implemented the function in Env() and added the dir sync just after we close the newly created file in the builder.
Should I also add FsyncDir() to new files that get created by a compaction?
Test Plan: Confirmed that FsyncDir is returning Status::OK()

Summary:
MemTableListVersion is to MemTableList what Version is to VersionSet. I took almost the same ideas to develop MemTableListVersion. The reason is to have copying std::list done in background, while flushing, rather than in foreground (MultiGet() and NewIterator()) under a mutex! Also, whenever we copied MemTableList, we copied also some MemTableList metadata (flush_requested_, commit_in_progress_, etc.), which was wasteful.
This diff avoids std::list copy under a mutex in both MultiGet() and NewIterator(). I created a small database with some number of immutable memtables, and creating 100.000 iterators in a single-thread (!) decreased from {188739, 215703, 198028} to {154352, 164035, 159817}. A lot of the savings come from code under a mutex, so we should see much higher savings with multiple threads. Creating new iterator is very important to LogDevice team.
I also think this diff will make SuperVersion obsolete for performance reasons. I will try it in the next diff. SuperVersion gave us huge savings on Get() code path, but I think that most of the savings came from copying MemTableList under a mutex. If we had MemTableListVersion, we would never need to copy the entire object (like we still do in NewIterator() and MultiGet())
Test Plan: `make check` works. I will also do `make valgrind_check` before commit

Summary:
This diff implements a special type of iterator that doesn't create a snapshot
(can be used to read newly inserted data) and is optimized for doing sequential
reads.
TailingIterator uses current superversion number to determine whether to
invalidate its internal iterators. If the version hasn't changed, it can often
avoid doing expensive seeks over immutable structures (sst files and immutable
memtables).

Summary:
This diff does two things:
* Rethinks how we call Recover() with read_only option. Before, we call it with pointer to memtable where we'd like to apply those changes to. This memtable is set in db_impl_readonly.cc and it's actually DBImpl::mem_. Why don't we just apply updates to mem_ right away? It seems more intuitive.
* Changes when we apply updates to manifest. Before, the process is to recover all the logs, flush it to sst files and then do one giant commit that atomically adds all recovered sst files and sets the next log number. This works good enough, but causes some small troubles for my column family approach, since I can't have one VersionEdit apply to more than single column family[1]. The change here is to commit the files recovered from logs right away. Here is the state of the world before the change:
1. Recover log 5, add new sst files to edit
2. Recover log 7, add new sst files to edit
3. Recover log 8, add new sst files to edit
4. Commit all added sst files to manifest and mark log files 5, 7 and 8 as recoverd (via SetLogNumber(9) function)
After the change, we'll do:
1. Recover log 5, commit the new sst files and set log 5 as recovered
2. Recover log 7, commit the new sst files and set log 7 as recovered
3. Recover log 8, commit the new sst files and set log 8 as recovered
The added (small) benefit is that if we fail after (2), the new recovery will only have to recover log 8. In previous case, we'll have to restart the recovery from the beginning. The bigger benefit will be to enable easier integration of multiple column families in Recovery code path.
[1] I'm happy to dicuss this decison, but I believe this is the cleanest way to go. It also makes backward compatibility much easier. We don't have a requirement of adding multiple column families atomically.

This had a few bugs.
1) bottom and top were reversed. top is for the max value but the callers were passing the max
value to bottom. The result is that the max sleep is used when n >= bottom.
2) one of the callers passed values with type double and these values are frequently between
1.0 and 2.0 so rounding will do some bad things
3) sometimes the function returned 0 when there should be a stall
With this change and one other diff (out for review soon) there are slightly fewer stalls on one workload.

This diff removes number of level check from VersionEdit. It is used only when VersionEdit is read, not written, but has to be set when it is written.

We define options.max_open_files = -1 to be the mode that table readers for live files will always be kept. In that mode, table readers are cached in FileMetaData (with a reference count hold in table cache). So that when executing table_cache.Get() and table_cache.newInterator(), LRU cache checking can be by-passed, to reduce latency.

Summary:
The way DBImpl::TEST_CompactRange() throttles down the number of bg compactions
can cause it to deadlock when CompactRange() is called concurrently from
multiple threads. Imagine a following scenario with only two threads
(max_background_compactions is 10 and bg_compaction_scheduled_ is initially 0):
1. Thread #1 increments bg_compaction_scheduled_ (to LargeNumber), sets
bg_compaction_scheduled_ to 9 (newvalue), schedules the compaction
(bg_compaction_scheduled_ is now 10) and waits for it to complete.
2. Thread #2 calls TEST_CompactRange(), increments bg_compaction_scheduled_
(now LargeNumber + 10) and waits on a cv for bg_compaction_scheduled_ to
drop to LargeNumber.
3. BG thread completes the first manual compaction, decrements
bg_compaction_scheduled_ and wakes up all threads waiting on bg_cv_.
Thread #1 runs, increments bg_compaction_scheduled_ by LargeNumber again
(now 2*LargeNumber + 9). Since that's more than LargeNumber + newvalue,
thread #2 also goes to sleep (waiting on bg_cv_), without resetting
bg_compaction_scheduled_.
This diff attempts to address the problem by introducing a new counter
bg_manual_only_ (when positive, MaybeScheduleFlushOrCompaction() will only
schedule manual compactions).
Test Plan:
I could pretty much consistently reproduce the deadlock with a program that
calls CompactRange(nullptr, nullptr) immediately after Write() from multiple
threads. This no longer happens with this patch.
Tests (make check) pass.

Summary:
In this diff I present you BackupableDB v1. You can easily use it to backup your DB and it will do incremental snapshots for you.
Let's first describe how you would use BackupableDB. It's inheriting StackableDB interface so you can easily construct it with your DB object -- it will add a method RollTheSnapshot() to the DB object. When you call RollTheSnapshot(), current snapshot of the DB will be stored in the backup dir. To restore, you can just call RestoreDBFromBackup() on a BackupableDB (which is a static method) and it will restore all files from the backup dir. In the next version, it will even support automatic backuping every X minutes.
There are multiple things you can configure:
1. backup_env and db_env can be different, which is awesome because then you can easily backup to HDFS or wherever you feel like.
2. sync - if true, it *guarantees* backup consistency on machine reboot
3. number of snapshots to keep - this will keep last N snapshots around if you want, for some reason, be able to restore from an earlier snapshot. All the backuping is done in incremental fashion - if we already have 00010.sst, we will not copy it again. *IMPORTANT* -- This is based on assumption that 00010.sst never changes - two files named 00010.sst from the same DB will always be exactly the same. Is this true? I always copy manifest, current and log files.
4. You can decide if you want to flush the memtables before you backup, or you're fine with backing up the log files -- either way, you get a complete and consistent view of the database at a time of backup.
5. More things you can find in BackupableDBOptions
Here is the directory structure I use:
backup_dir/CURRENT_SNAPSHOT - just 4 bytes holding the latest snapshot
0, 1, 2, ... - files containing serialized version of each snapshot - containing a list of files
files/*.sst - sst files shared between snapshots - if one snapshot references 00010.sst and another one needs to backup it from the DB, it will just reference the same file
files/ 0/, 1/, 2/, ... - snapshot directories containing private snapshot files - current, manifest and log files
All the files are ref counted and deleted immediatelly when they get out of scope.
Some other stuff in this diff:
1. Added GetEnv() method to the DB. Discussed with @haobo and we agreed that it seems right thing to do.
2. Fixed StackableDB interface. The way it was set up before, I was not able to implement BackupableDB.
Test Plan:
I have a unittest, but please don't look at this yet. I just hacked it up to help me with debugging. I will write a lot of good tests and update the diff.
