Summary:
The first key is used to defer reading the data block until this file gets to the top of merging iterator's heap. For short range scans, most files never make it to the top of the heap, so this change can reduce read amplification by a lot sometimes.
Consider the following workload. There are a few data streams (we'll be calling them "logs"), each stream consisting of a sequence of blobs (we'll be calling them "records"). Each record is identified by log ID and a sequence number within the log. RocksDB key is concatenation of log ID and sequence number (big endian). Reads are mostly relatively short range scans, each within a single log. Writes are mostly sequential for each log, but writes to different logs are randomly interleaved. Compactions are disabled; instead, when we accumulate a few tens of sst files, we create a new column family and start writing to it.
So, a typical sst file consists of a few ranges of blocks, each range corresponding to one log ID (we use FlushBlockPolicy to cut blocks at log boundaries). A typical read would go like this. First, iterator Seek() reads one block from each sst file. Then a series of Next()s move through one sst file (since writes to each log are mostly sequential) until the subiterator reaches the end of this log in this sst file; then Next() switches to the next sst file and reads sequentially from that, and so on. Often a range scan will only return records from a small number of blocks in small number of sst files; in this case, the cost of initial Seek() reading one block from each file may be bigger than the cost of reading the actually useful blocks.
Neither iterate_upper_bound nor bloom filters can prevent reading one block from each file in Seek(). But this PR can: if the index contains first key from each block, we don't have to read the block until this block actually makes it to the top of merging iterator's heap, so for short range scans we won't read any blocks from most of the sst files.
This PR does the deferred block loading inside value() call. This is not ideal: there's no good way to report an IO error from inside value(). As discussed with siying offline, it would probably be better to change InternalIterator's interface to explicitly fetch deferred value and get status. I'll do it in a separate PR.

Summary:
Given that index value is a BlockHandle, which is basically an <offset, size> pair we can apply delta encoding on the values. The first value at each index restart interval encoded the full BlockHandle but the rest encode only the size. Refer to IndexBlockIter::DecodeCurrentValue for the detail of the encoding. This reduces the index size which helps using the block cache more efficiently. The feature is enabled with using format_version 4.
The feature comes with a bit of cpu overhead which should be paid back by the higher cache hits due to smaller index block size.
Results with sysbench read-only using 4k blocks and using 16 index restart interval:

this PR fixes a few failed contbuild:
1. ASAN memory leak in Block::NewIterator (table/block.cc:429). the proper destruction of first_level_iter_ and second_level_iter_ of two_level_iterator.cc is missing from the code after the refactoring in https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/3406

Summary:
Use a customzied BlockBasedTableIterator and LevelIterator to replace current implementations leveraging two-level-iterator. Hope the customized logic will make code easier to understand. As a side effect, BlockBasedTableIterator reduces the allocation for the data block iterator object, and avoid the virtual function call to it, because we can directly reference BlockIter, a final class. Similarly, LevelIterator reduces virtual function call to the dummy iterator iterating the file metadata. It also enabled further optimization.
The upper bound check is also moved from index block to data block. This implementation fits this iterator better. After the change, forwared iterator is slightly optimized to ensure we trim those iterators.
The two-level-iterator now is only used by partitioned index, so it is simplified.

Summary:
Now if we have iterate_upper_bound set, we continue read until get a key >= upper_bound. For a lot of cases that neighboring data blocks have a user key gap between them, our index key will be a user key in the middle to get a shorter size. For example, if we have blocks:
[a b c d][f g h]
Then the index key for the first block will be 'e'.
then if upper bound is any key between 'd' and 'e', for example, d1, d2, ..., d99999999999, we don't have to read the second block and also know that we have done our iteration by reaching the last key that smaller the upper bound already.
This diff can reduce RA in most cases.

Summary:
Separate a new class InternalIterator from class Iterator, when the look-up is done internally, which also means they operate on key with sequence ID and type.
This change will enable potential future optimizations but for now InternalIterator's functions are still the same as Iterator's.
At the same time, separate the cleanup function to a separate class and let both of InternalIterator and Iterator inherit from it.

Summary:
In this patch, try to allocate the whole iterator tree starting from DBIter from an arena
1. ArenaWrappedDBIter is created when serves as the entry point of an iterator tree, with an arena in it.
2. Add an option to create iterator from arena for following iterators: DBIter, MergingIterator, MemtableIterator, all mem table's iterators, all table reader's iterators and two level iterator.
3. MergeIteratorBuilder is created to incrementally build the tree of internal iterators. It is passed to mem table list and version set and add iterators to it.
Limitations:
(1) Only DB::NewIterator() without tailing uses the arena. Other cases, including readonly DB and compactions are still from malloc
(2) Two level iterator itself is allocated in arena, but not iterators inside it.

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.

Summary:
This patch allows an application to specify whether to use bufferedio,
reads-via-mmaps and writes-via-mmaps per database. Earlier, there
was a global static variable that was used to configure this functionality.
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
I also added a parameter to db_bench to be able to explicitly specify
whether to do readaheads for compactions or not.

- 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.
