Igor Canadi 6059bdf86a Add experimental API MarkForCompaction()
Summary:
Some Mongo+Rocks datasets in Parse's environment are not doing compactions very frequently. During the quiet period (with no IO), we'd like to schedule compactions so that our reads become faster. Also, aggressively compacting during quiet periods helps when write bursts happen. In addition, we also want to compact files that are containing deleted key ranges (like old oplog keys).

All of this is currently not possible with CompactRange() because it's single-threaded and blocks all other compactions from happening. Running CompactRange() risks an issue of blocking writes because we generate too much Level 0 files before the compaction is over. Stopping writes is very dangerous because they hold transaction locks. We tried running manual compaction once on Mongo+Rocks and everything fell apart.

MarkForCompaction() solves all of those problems. This is very light-weight manual compaction. It is lower priority than automatic compactions, which means it shouldn't interfere with background process keeping the LSM tree clean. However, if no automatic compactions need to be run (or we have extra background threads available), we will start compacting files that are marked for compaction.

Test Plan: added a new unit test

RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage

Build Status

RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team. It is built on earlier work on LevelDB by Sanjay Ghemawat (sanjay@google.com) and Jeff Dean (jeff@google.com)

This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast key value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives. It has a Log-Structured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs between Write-Amplification-Factor (WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF) and Space-Amplification-Factor (SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions, making it specially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.

See the github wiki for more explanation.

The public interface is in include/. Callers should not include or rely on the details of any other header files in this package. Those internal APIs may be changed without warning.

Design discussions are conducted in https://www.facebook.com/groups/rocksdb.dev/
