Summary:
Use super_version insider NewIterator to avoid Ref() each component
separately under mutex
The new added bench shows NewIterator QPS increases from 515K to 719K
No meaningful improvement for multiget I guess due to its relatively small
cost comparing to 90 keys fetch in the test.

Summary:
VersionSet::next_file_number_ is always assumed to be strictly greater than VersionSet::log_number_. In our new recovery code, we artificially set log_number_ to be (log_number + 1), so that once we flush, we don't recover from the same log file again (this is important because of merge operator non-idempotence)
When we set VersionSet::log_number_ to (log_number + 1), we also have to mark that file number used, such that next_file_number_ is increased to a legal level. Otherwise, VersionSet might assert.
This has not be a problem so far because here's what happens:
1. assume next_file_number is 5, we're recovering log_number 10
2. in DBImpl::Recover() we call MarkFileNumberUsed with 10. This will set VersionSet::next_file_number_ to 11.
3. If there are some updates, we will call WriteTable0ForRecovery(), which will use file number 11 as a new table file and advance VersionSet::next_file_number_ to 12.
4. When we LogAndApply() with log_number 11, assertion is true: assert(11 <= 12);
However, this was a lucky occurrence. Even though this diff doesn't cause a bug, I think the issue is important to fix.
Test Plan: In column families I have different recovery logic and this code path asserted. When adding MarkFileNumberUsed(log_number + 1) assert is gone.

In DBImpl we keep track of some statistics internally and expose them via GetProperty(). This diff encapsulates all the internal statistics into a class InternalStatisics. Most of it is copy/paste.
Apart from cleaning up db_impl.cc, this diff is also necessary for Column families, since every column family should have its own CompactionStats, MakeRoomForWrite-stall stats, etc. It's much easier to keep track of it in every column family if it's nicely encapsulated in its own class.

Summary:
MemTableListVersion is to MemTableList what Version is to VersionSet. I took almost the same ideas to develop MemTableListVersion. The reason is to have copying std::list done in background, while flushing, rather than in foreground (MultiGet() and NewIterator()) under a mutex! Also, whenever we copied MemTableList, we copied also some MemTableList metadata (flush_requested_, commit_in_progress_, etc.), which was wasteful.
This diff avoids std::list copy under a mutex in both MultiGet() and NewIterator(). I created a small database with some number of immutable memtables, and creating 100.000 iterators in a single-thread (!) decreased from {188739, 215703, 198028} to {154352, 164035, 159817}. A lot of the savings come from code under a mutex, so we should see much higher savings with multiple threads. Creating new iterator is very important to LogDevice team.
I also think this diff will make SuperVersion obsolete for performance reasons. I will try it in the next diff. SuperVersion gave us huge savings on Get() code path, but I think that most of the savings came from copying MemTableList under a mutex. If we had MemTableListVersion, we would never need to copy the entire object (like we still do in NewIterator() and MultiGet())
Test Plan: `make check` works. I will also do `make valgrind_check` before commit

This diff implements a special type of iterator that doesn't create a snapshot
(can be used to read newly inserted data) and is optimized for doing sequential

TailingIterator uses current superversion number to determine whether to
invalidate its internal iterators. If the version hasn't changed, it can often
avoid doing expensive seeks over immutable structures (sst files and immutable
memtables).

Summary:
This diff does two things:
* Rethinks how we call Recover() with read_only option. Before, we call it with pointer to memtable where we'd like to apply those changes to. This memtable is set in db_impl_readonly.cc and it's actually DBImpl::mem_. Why don't we just apply updates to mem_ right away? It seems more intuitive.
* Changes when we apply updates to manifest. Before, the process is to recover all the logs, flush it to sst files and then do one giant commit that atomically adds all recovered sst files and sets the next log number. This works good enough, but causes some small troubles for my column family approach, since I can't have one VersionEdit apply to more than single column family[1]. The change here is to commit the files recovered from logs right away. Here is the state of the world before the change:
1. Recover log 5, add new sst files to edit
2. Recover log 7, add new sst files to edit
3. Recover log 8, add new sst files to edit
4. Commit all added sst files to manifest and mark log files 5, 7 and 8 as recoverd (via SetLogNumber(9) function)
After the change, we'll do:
1. Recover log 5, commit the new sst files and set log 5 as recovered
2. Recover log 7, commit the new sst files and set log 7 as recovered
3. Recover log 8, commit the new sst files and set log 8 as recovered
The added (small) benefit is that if we fail after (2), the new recovery will only have to recover log 8. In previous case, we'll have to restart the recovery from the beginning. The bigger benefit will be to enable easier integration of multiple column families in Recovery code path.
[1] I'm happy to dicuss this decison, but I believe this is the cleanest way to go. It also makes backward compatibility much easier. We don't have a requirement of adding multiple column families atomically.

This diff removes number of level check from VersionEdit. It is used only when VersionEdit is read, not written, but has to be set when it is written. I believe it is a right thing to make VersionEdit dumb and check consistency on the caller side.

We define options.max_open_files = -1 to be the mode that table readers for live files will always be kept. In that mode, table readers are cached in FileMetaData (with a reference count hold in table cache). So that when executing table_cache.Get() and table_cache.newInterator(), LRU cache checking can be by-passed, to reduce latency.

Summary:
The way DBImpl::TEST_CompactRange() throttles down the number of bg compactions
can cause it to deadlock when CompactRange() is called concurrently from
multiple threads. Imagine a following scenario with only two threads
(max_background_compactions is 10 and bg_compaction_scheduled_ is initially 0):
1. Thread #1 increments bg_compaction_scheduled_ (to LargeNumber), sets
bg_compaction_scheduled_ to 9 (newvalue), schedules the compaction
(bg_compaction_scheduled_ is now 10) and waits for it to complete.
2. Thread #2 calls TEST_CompactRange(), increments bg_compaction_scheduled_
(now LargeNumber + 10) and waits on a cv for bg_compaction_scheduled_ to
drop to LargeNumber.
3. BG thread completes the first manual compaction, decrements
bg_compaction_scheduled_ and wakes up all threads waiting on bg_cv_.
Thread #1 runs, increments bg_compaction_scheduled_ by LargeNumber again
(now 2*LargeNumber + 9). Since that's more than LargeNumber + newvalue,
thread #2 also goes to sleep (waiting on bg_cv_), without resetting
bg_compaction_scheduled_.
This diff attempts to address the problem by introducing a new counter
bg_manual_only_ (when positive, MaybeScheduleFlushOrCompaction() will only
schedule manual compactions).
Test Plan:
I could pretty much consistently reproduce the deadlock with a program that
calls CompactRange(nullptr, nullptr) immediately after Write() from multiple
threads. This no longer happens with this patch.
