Summary:
In D28521 we removed GarbageCollect() from BackupEngine's constructor. The reason was that opening BackupEngine on HDFS was very slow and in most cases we didn't have any garbage. We allowed the user to call GarbageCollect() when it detects some garbage files in his backup directory.
Unfortunately, this left us vulnerable to an interesting issue. Let's say we started a backup and copied files {1, 3} but the backup failed. On another host, we restore DB from backup and generate {1, 3, 5}. Since {1, 3} is already there, we will not overwrite. However, these files might be from a different database so their contents might be different. See internal task t6781803 for more info.
Now, when we're copying files and we discover a file already there, we check:
1. if the file is not referenced from any backups, we overwrite the file.
2. if the file is referenced from other backups AND the checksums don't match, we fail the backup. This will only happen if user is using a single backup directory for backing up two different databases.
3. if the file is referenced from other backups AND the checksums match, it's all good. We skip the copy and go copy the next file.
Test Plan: Added new test to backupable_db_test. The test fails before this patch.

Summary:
The usage I'm fixing here caused trouble on Fedora 21 when
compiling with the current gcc version 4.9.2 20150212 (Red Hat 4.9.2-6) (GCC):
db/write_controller_test.cc: In member function ‘virtual void rocksdb::WriteControllerTest_SanityTest_Test::TestBody()’:
db/write_controller_test.cc:23:165: error: converting ‘false’ to pointer type for argument 1 of ‘char testing::internal::IsNullLiteralHelper(testing::internal::Secret*)’ [-Werror=conversion-null]
ASSERT_EQ(false, controller.IsStopped());
^
This change was induced mechanically via:
git grep -l -E 'ASSERT_EQ\(false'|xargs perl -pi -e 's/ASSERT_EQ\(false, /ASSERT_FALSE(/'
git grep -l -E 'ASSERT_EQ\(true'|xargs perl -pi -e 's/ASSERT_EQ\(true, /ASSERT_TRUE(/'
Except for the three in utilities/backupable/backupable_db_test.cc for which
I ended up reformatting (joining lines) in the result.
As for why this problem is exhibited with that version of gcc, and none
of the others I've used (from 4.8.1 through gcc-5.0.0 and newer), I suspect
it's a bug in F21's gcc that has been fixed in gcc-5.0.0.

Summary:
Our existing test notation is very similar to what is used in gtest. It makes it easy to adopt what is different.
In this diff I modify existing [[ https://code.google.com/p/googletest/wiki/Primer#Test_Fixtures:_Using_the_Same_Data_Configuration_for_Multiple_Te | test fixture ]] classes to inherit from `testing::Test`. Also for unit tests that use fixture class, `TEST` is replaced with `TEST_F` as required in gtest.
There are several custom `main` functions in our existing tests. To make this transition easier, I modify all `main` functions to fallow gtest notation. But eventually we can remove them and use implementation of `main` that gtest provides.
```lang=bash
% cat ~/transform
#!/bin/sh

Summary:
gtest does not use exceptions to fail a unit test by design, and `ASSERT*`s are implemented using `return`. As a consequence we cannot use `ASSERT*` in a function that does not return `void` value ([[ https://code.google.com/p/googletest/wiki/AdvancedGuide#Assertion_Placement | 1]]), and have to fix our existing code. This diff does this in a generic way, with no manual changes.
In order to detect all existing `ASSERT*` that are used in functions that doesn't return void value, I change the code to generate compile errors for such cases.
In `util/testharness.h` I defined `EXPECT*` assertions, the same way as `ASSERT*`, and redefined `ASSERT*` to return `void`. Then executed:
```lang=bash
% USE_CLANG=1 make all -j55 -k 2> build.log
% perl -naF: -e 'print "-- -number=".$F[1]." ".$F[0]."\n" if /: error:/' \
build.log | xargs -L 1 perl -spi -e 's/ASSERT/EXPECT/g if $. == $number'
% make format
```
After that I reverted back change to `ASSERT*` in `util/testharness.h`. But preserved introduced `EXPECT*`, which is the same as `ASSERT*`. This will be deleted once switched to gtest.
This diff is independent and contains manual changes only in `util/testharness.h`.
Test Plan:
Make sure all tests are passing.
```lang=bash
% USE_CLANG=1 make check

Summary:
CorruptionTest for backupable_db_test did not call
GarbageCollect() after deleting a corrupt backup,
which sometimes lead to test failures as the newly created backup
would reuse the same backup ID and files and fail the consistency

is called at the right time.

<This diff is for Column Family branch>
Sharing some of the work I've done so far. This diff compiles and passes the tests.
The biggest change is in options.h - I broke down Options into two parts - DBOptions and ColumnFamilyOptions. DBOptions is DB-specific (env, create_if_missing, block_cache, etc.) and ColumnFamilyOptions is column family-specific (all compaction options, compresion options, etc.). Note that this does not break backwards compatibility at all.
Further, I created DBWithColumnFamily which inherits DB interface and adds new functions with column family support. Clients can transparently switch to DBWithColumnFamily and it will not break their backwards compatibility.
There are few methods worth checking out: ListColumnFamilies(), MultiNewIterator(), MultiGet() and GetSnapshot(). [GetSnapshot() returns the snapshot across all column families for now - I think that's what we agreed on]
Finally, I made small changes to WriteBatch so we are able to atomically insert data across column families.
Please provide feedback.

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.
