Summary:
There is a new option called hybrid_mode which, when switched on,
causes HBase style compactions. Files from L0 are
compacted back into L0. This meat of this compaction algorithm
is in PickCompactionHybrid().
All files reside in L0. That means all files have overlapping
keys. Each file has a time-bound, i.e. each file contains a
range of keys that were inserted around the same time. The
start-seqno and the end-seqno refers to the timeframe when
these keys were inserted. Files that have contiguous seqno
are compacted together into a larger file. All files are
ordered from most recent to the oldest.
The current compaction algorithm starts to look for
candidate files starting from the most recent file. It continues to
add more files to the same compaction run as long as the
sum of the files chosen till now is smaller than the next
candidate file size. This logic needs to be debated
and validated.
The above logic should reduce write amplification to a
large extent... will publish numbers shortly.
Test Plan: dbstress runs for 6 hours with no data corruption (tested so far).

Merge multiple multiple memtables in memory before writing it
out to a file in L0.
There is a new config parameter min_write_buffer_number_to_merge
that specifies the number of write buffers that should be merged
together to a single file in storage. The system will not flush
wrte buffers to storage unless at least these many buffers have
accumulated in memory.
The default value of this new parameter is 1, which means that
a write buffer will be immediately flushed to disk as soon it is

Summary:
Current posix advice implementation ties up the access pattern hint with the creation of a file.
It is not possible to apply different advice for different access (random get vs compaction read),
without keeping two open files for the same table. This patch extended the RandomeAccessFile interface
to accept new access hint at anytime. Particularly, we are able to set different access hint on the same
table file based on when/how the file is used.
Two options are added to set the access hint, after the file is first opened and after the file is being
compacted.

This adds the rate_delay_limit_milliseconds option to make the delay
configurable in MakeRoomForWrite when the max compaction score is too high.
This delay is called the Ln slowdown. This change also counts the Ln slowdown
per level to make it possible to see where the stalls occur.
From IO-bound performance testing, the Level N stalls occur:
* with compression -> at the largest uncompressed level. This makes sense
because compaction for compressed levels is much
slower. When Lx is uncompressed and Lx+1 is compressed
then files pile up at Lx because the (Lx,Lx+1)->Lx+1
compaction process is the first to be slowed by
compression.
* without compression -> at level 1

This patch removes redundant records at the time of the flush. If there

most recent one is dumped into the output file. The purging of
redundant records occur only if the most recent snapshot is earlier
than the earliest record in the memtable.

Summary:
The compaction process takes some files from LevelK and
merges it into LevelK+1. The number of files it picks from
LevelK was capped such a way that the total amount of
data picked does not exceed the maxfilesize of that level.
This essentially meant that only one file from LevelK
is picked for a single compaction.
For bulkloads, we would like to take many many file from
LevelK and compact them using a single compaction run.
This patch introduces a option called the 'source_compaction_factor'
(similar to expanded_compaction_factor). It is a multiplier
that is multiplied by the maxfilesize of that level to arrive
at the limit that is used to throttle the number of source
files from LevelK. For bulk loads, set source_compaction_factor
to a very high number so that multiple files from the same
level are picked for compaction in a single compaction.
The default value of source_compaction_factor is 1, so that
we can keep backward compatibilty with existing compaction semantics.

Summary:
The leveldb API is enhanced to support different compression algorithms at
different levels.
This adds the option min_level_to_compress to db_bench that specifies
the minimum level for which compression should be done when
compression is enabled. This can be used to disable compression for levels
0 and 1 which are likely to suffer from stalls because of the CPU load
for memtable flushes and (L0,L1) compaction. Level 0 is special as it
gets frequent memtable flushes. Level 1 is special as it frequently
gets all:all file compactions between it and level 0. But all other levels
could be the same. For any level N where N > 1, the rate of sequential
IO for that level should be the same. The last level is the
exception because it might not be full and because files from it are
not read to compact with the next larger level.
The same amount of time will be spent doing compaction at any
level N excluding N=0, 1 or the last level. By this standard all
of those levels should use the same compression. The difference is that
the loss (using more disk space) from a faster compression algorithm
is less significant for N=2 than for N=3. So we might be willing to
trade disk space for faster write rates with no compression
for L0 and L1, snappy for L2, zlib for L3. Using a faster compression
algorithm for the mid levels also allows us to reclaim some cpu
without trading off much loss in disk space overhead.
Also note that little is to be gained by compressing levels 0 and 1. For
a 4-level tree they account for 10% of the data. For a 5-level tree they
account for 1% of the data.
With compression enabled:
* memtable flush rate is ~18MB/second
* (L0,L1) compaction rate is ~30MB/second
With compression enabled but min_level_to_compress=2
* memtable flush rate is ~320MB/second
* (L0,L1) compaction rate is ~560MB/second
This practicaly takes the same code from https://reviews.facebook.net/D6225
but makes the leveldb api more general purpose with a few additional
lines of code.

The specified value must be > 1.0. Also adds the option --stats_per_interval
