Summary:
Here are the major changes to the Merge Interface. It has been expanded
to handle cases where the MergeOperator is not associative. It does so by stacking
up merge operations while scanning through the key history (i.e.: during Get() or
Compaction), until a valid Put/Delete/end-of-history is encountered; it then
applies all of the merge operations in the correct sequence starting with the
base/sentinel value.
I have also introduced an "AssociativeMerge" function which allows the user to
take advantage of associative merge operations (such as in the case of counters).
The implementation will always attempt to merge the operations/operands themselves
together when they are encountered, and will resort to the "stacking" method if
and only if the "associative-merge" fails.
This implementation is conjectured to allow MergeOperator to handle the general
case, while still providing the user with the ability to take advantage of certain
efficiencies in their own merge-operator / data-structure.
NOTE: This is a preliminary diff. This must still go through a lot of review,
revision, and testing. Feedback welcome!
Test Plan:
-This is a preliminary diff. I have only just begun testing/debugging it.
-I will be testing this with the existing MergeOperator use-cases and unit-tests
(counters, string-append, and redis-lists)
-I will be "desk-checking" and walking through the code with the help gdb.
-I will find a way of stress-testing the new interface / implementation using
db_bench, db_test, merge_test, and/or db_stress.
-I will ensure that my tests cover all cases: Get-Memtable,
Get-Immutable-Memtable, Get-from-Disk, Iterator-Range-Scan, Flush-Memtable-to-L0,
Compaction-L0-L1, Compaction-Ln-L(n+1), Put/Delete found, Put/Delete not-found,
end-of-history, end-of-file, etc.
-A lot of feedback from the reviewers.

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 diff introduces a new Merge operation into rocksdb.
The purpose of this review is mostly getting feedback from the team (everyone please) on the design.
Please focus on the four files under include/leveldb/, as they spell the client visible interface change.
include/leveldb/db.h
include/leveldb/merge_operator.h
include/leveldb/options.h
include/leveldb/write_batch.h
Please go over local/my_test.cc carefully, as it is a concerete use case.
Please also review the impelmentation files to see if the straw man implementation makes sense.
Note that, the diff does pass all make check and truly supports forward iterator over db and a version
of Get that's based on iterator.
Future work:
- Integration with compaction
- A raw Get implementation
I am working on a wiki that explains the design and implementation choices, but coding comes
just naturally and I think it might be a good idea to share the code earlier. The code is
heavily commented.

The default setting remains the same (and is backward compatible):
1. use bufferedio
2. do not use mmaps for reads
3. use mmap for writes
4. use readaheads for reads needed for compaction

A few assumptions :
* Used a global static instance of the statistics object. Plan to pass
it to each internal function. Static allows metrics only at app
level.
* In the Ticker's do not do any locking. Depend on the mutex at each
function of LevelDB. If we ever remove the mutex, we should change
here too. The other option is use atomic objects anyways as there
won't be any contention as they will be always acquired only by one
thread.
* The counters are dumb, increment through lifecycle. Plan to use ods
etc to get last5min stat etc.

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.

Differential Revision: https://reviews.facebook.net/D6261
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.
