Summary:
The method Finalize() recomputes the compaction score of each
level and then sorts these score from largest to smallest. The
idea is that the level with the largest compaction score will
be a better candidate for compaction. There are usually very
few levels, and a bubble sort code was used to sort these
compaction scores. There existed a bug in the sorting code that
skipped looking at the score for the n-1 level. This meant that
even if the compaction score of the n-1 level is large, it will
not be picked for compaction.
This patch fixes the bug and also introduces "asserts" in the
code to detect any possible inconsistencies caused by future bugs.
This bug existed in the very first code change that introduced
multi-threaded compaction to the leveldb code. That version of
code was committed on Oct 19th via

Summary:
When a new version is created, we sort all the files at every
level based on their size. This is necessary because we want
to compact the largest file first. The sorting takes quite a
bit of CPU.
Moved the sorting code to be outside the mutex. Also, the
earlier code was sorting files at all levels but we do not
need to sort the highest-number level because those files
are never the cause of any compaction. To reduce sorting
costs, we sort only the first few files in each level
because it is likely that those are the only files in that
level that will be picked for compaction.
At steady state, I have seen that this patch increase
throughout from 1500 writes/sec to 1700 writes/sec at the
end of a 72 hour run. The cpu saving by not sorting the
last level was not distinctive in this test run because
there were only 100K files in the highest numbered level.
I expect the cpu saving to be significant when the number of
files is much higher.
This is mostly an early preview and not ready for rigorous review.
With this patch, the writs/sec is now bottlenecked not by the sorting code but by GetOverlappingInputs. I am working on a patch to optimize GetOverlappingInputs.

Summary:
The Version::GetOverlappingInputs() is called multiple times in
the compaction code path. Eack invocation does a binary search
for overlapping files in the specified key range.
This patch remembers the offset of an overlapped file when
GetOverlappingInputs() is called the first time within
a compaction run. Suceeding calls to GetOverlappingInputs()
uses the remembered index to avoid the binary search.
I measured that 1000 iterations of GetOverlappingInputs
takes around 4500 microseconds without this patch. If I use
this patch with the hint on every invocation, then 1000
iterations take about 3900 microsecond.

Summary:
The method Version::GetOverlappingInputs used a sequential search
to map a kay-range to a set of files. But the files are arranged
in ascending order of key, so a biary search is more effective.
This patch implements Version::GetOverlappingInputsBinarySearch
that finds one file that corresponds to the specified key range
and then iterates backwards and forwards to find all overlapping
files.
This patch is critical for making compactions efficient, especially
when there are thousands of files in a single level.
I measured that 1000 iterations of TEST_MaxNextLevelOverlappingBytes
takes 16000 microseconds without this patch. With this patch, the
same method takes about 4600 microseconds.
Test Plan: Almost all unit tests in db_test uses this method to lookup keys.

Summary:
This patch allows compaction to occur in multiple background threads
concurrently.
If a manual compaction is issued, the system falls back to a
single-compaction-thread model. This is done to ensure correctess
and simplicity of code. When the manual compaction is finished,
the system resumes its concurrent-compaction mode automatically.
The updates to the manifest are done via group-commit approach.
Test Plan: run db_bench
Summary:
In the current code, a Get() call can trigger compaction if it has to look at more than one file. This causes unnecessary compaction because looking at more than one file is a penalty only if the file is not yet in the cache. Also, th current code counts these files before the bloom filter check is applied.
This patch counts a 'seek' only if the file fails the bloom filter
check and has to read in data block(s) from the storage.
This patch also counts a 'seek' if a file is not present in the file-cache, because opening a file means that its index blocks need to be read into cache.
Test Plan: unit test attached. I will probably add one more unti tests.

In particular, we add a new FilterPolicy class. An instance
of this class can be supplied in Options when opening a
database. If supplied, the instance is used to generate
summaries of keys (e.g., a bloom filter) which are placed in
sstables. These summaries are consulted by DB::Get() so we
can avoid reading sstable blocks that are guaranteed to not
contain the key we are looking for.
This change provides one implementation of FilterPolicy
based on bloom filters.
Other changes:
- Updated version number to 1.4.
- Some build tweaks.
- C binding for CompactRange.
- A few more benchmarks: deleteseq, deleterandom, readmissing, seekrandom.
- Minor .gitignore update.
- Replace raw slice comparison with a call to user comparator.
Added test for custom comparators.
- Fix end of namespace comments.
- Fixed bug in picking inputs for a level-0 compaction.
When finding overlapping files, the covered range may expand
as files are added to the input set. We now correctly expand
the range when this happens instead of continuing to use the
old range. For example, suppose L0 contains files with the
following ranges:
F1: a .. d
F2: c .. g
F3: f .. j
and the initial compaction target is F3. We used to search
for range f..j which yielded {F2,F3}. However we now expand
the range as soon as another file is added. In this case,
when F2 is added, we expand the range to c..j and restart the
search. That picks up file F1 as well.
This change fixes a bug related to deleted keys showing up
incorrectly after a compaction as described in Issue 44.
(Sync with upstream @25072954)
- Added DB::CompactRange() method.
Changed manual compaction code so it breaks up compactions of
big ranges into smaller compactions.
Changed the code that pushes the output of memtable compactions
to higher levels to obey the grandparent constraint: i.e., we
must never have a single file in level L that overlaps too
much data in level L+1 (to avoid very expensive L-1 compactions).
Added code to pretty-print internal keys.
- Fixed bug where we would not detect overlap with files in
level-0 because we were incorrectly using binary search
on an array of files with overlapping ranges.
Added "leveldb.sstables" property that can be used to dump
all of the sstables and ranges that make up the db state.
- Removing post_write_snapshot support. Email to leveldb mailing
list brought up no users, just confusion from one person about
what it meant.
- Fixing static_cast char to unsigned on BIG_ENDIAN platforms.
Fixes Issue 35 and Issue 36.
- Comment clarification to address leveldb Issue 37.
- Change license in posix_logger.h to match other files.
- A build problem where uint32 was used instead of uint32_t.

- Fix bug in Get: when it triggers a compaction, it could sometimes
mark the compaction with the wrong level (if there was a gap

- Do not hold mutex while writing to the log file or to the
MANIFEST file.
Added a new benchmark that runs a writer thread concurrently with
reader threads.

Fix for Issue 19: Disregard sequence numbers when checking for
