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:
The option "write_buffer_size" has changed from 4MB for 64MB by default, and the compact_files_example will not work as expected, as the test data written is only about 50MB and will not trigger compaction.

Summary:
As title.
This is part of an fb-internal task.
First, remove all `using namespace` statements if applicable.
Next, utilize multiple build platforms and see if anything is broken.
Should anything become broken, fix the compilation errors with as little extra change as possible.

Summary:
Quick fixes to examples to make it easier to get familiar with RocksDB for Windows users:
- Set proper temporary directory path on Windows for all examples (with C++17 we should start using std::filesystem)
- Fixed typo and got rid of warnings treated as errors in multi_processes_example.cc
- Get number of available cores on Windows in c_simple_example.c
- Add command to remove DB directory for Windows in compaction_filter_example.cc (print error, but carry on with example upon error, because error code is returned if there is no such directory on Windows)

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.

Test Plan: Build release, all and jtest. Try to build with ROCKSDB_NAMESPACE with another flag.

Summary:
See task #7983654. The example was triggering an assert in compaction job
because the compaction was not marked as manual. With this patch,
CompactionPicker::FormCompaction() marks compactions as manual. This patch
also fixes a couple of typos, adds optimistic_transaction_example to
.gitignore and librocksdb as a dependency for examples. Adding librocksdb as
a dependency makes sure that the examples are built with the latest changes
in librocksdb.

Summary:
In some environment such as android, the c++ library does not have
std::to_string. This path adds rocksdb::ToString(), which wraps std::to_string
when std::to_string is not available, and implements std::to_string
in the other case.

Summary:
This diff adds three sets of APIs to RocksDB.
= GetColumnFamilyMetaData =
* This APIs allow users to obtain the current state of a RocksDB instance on one column family.
* See GetColumnFamilyMetaData in include/rocksdb/db.h
= EventListener =
* A virtual class that allows users to implement a set of
call-back functions which will be called when specific
events of a RocksDB instance happens.
* To register EventListener, simply insert an EventListener to ColumnFamilyOptions::listeners
= CompactFiles =
* CompactFiles API inputs a set of file numbers and an output level, and RocksDB
will try to compact those files into the specified level.
= Example =
* Example code can be found in example/compact_files_example.cc, which implements
a simple external compactor using EventListener, GetColumnFamilyMetaData, and
CompactFiles API.
