Summary:
copy from task 8196669:
1) Optimistic transactions do not support batching writes from different threads.
2) Pessimistic transactions do not support batching writes if an expiration time is set.
In these 2 cases, we currently do not do any write batching in DBImpl::WriteImpl() because there is a WriteCallback that could decide at the last minute to abort the write. But we could support batching write operations with callbacks if we make sure to process the callbacks correctly.
To do this, we would first need to modify write_thread.cc to stop preventing writes with callbacks from being batched together. Then we would need to change DBImpl::WriteImpl() to call all WriteCallback's in a batch, only write the batches that succeed, and correctly set the state of each batch's WriteThread::Writer.
Test Plan: Added test WriteWithCallbackTest to write_callback_test.cc which creates multiple client threads and verifies that writes are batched and executed properly.

Summary:
This diff adds support for concurrent adds to the skiplist memtable
implementations. Memory allocation is made thread-safe by the addition of
a spinlock, with small per-core buffers to avoid contention. Concurrent
memtable writes are made via an additional method and don't impose a
performance overhead on the non-concurrent case, so parallelism can be
selected on a per-batch basis.
Write thread synchronization is an increasing bottleneck for higher levels
of concurrency, so this diff adds --enable_write_thread_adaptive_yield
(default off). This feature causes threads joining a write batch
group to spin for a short time (default 100 usec) using sched_yield,
rather than going to sleep on a mutex. If the timing of the yield calls
indicates that another thread has actually run during the yield then
spinning is avoided. This option improves performance for concurrent
situations even without parallel adds, although it has the potential to
increase CPU usage (and the heuristic adaptation is not yet mature).
Parallel writes are not currently compatible with
inplace updates, update callbacks, or delete filtering.
Enable it with --allow_concurrent_memtable_write (and
--enable_write_thread_adaptive_yield). Parallel memtable writes
are performance neutral when there is no actual parallelism, and in
my experiments (SSD server-class Linux and varying contention and key
sizes for fillrandom) they are always a performance win when there is
more than one thread.
Statistics are updated earlier in the write path, dropping the number
of DB mutex acquisitions from 2 to 1 for almost all cases.
This diff was motivated and inspired by Yahoo's cLSM work. It is more
conservative than cLSM: RocksDB's write batch group leader role is
preserved (along with all of the existing flush and write throttling
logic) and concurrent writers are blocked until all memtable insertions
have completed and the sequence number has been advanced, to preserve
linearizability.
My test config is "db_bench -benchmarks=fillrandom -threads=$T
-batch_size=1 -memtablerep=skip_list -value_size=100 --num=1000000/$T
-level0_slowdown_writes_trigger=9999 -level0_stop_writes_trigger=9999

-max_background_flushes=8 --disable_wal --write_buffer_size=160000000
--block_size=16384 --allow_concurrent_memtable_write" on a two-socket
Xeon E5-2660 @ 2.2Ghz with lots of memory and an SSD hard drive. With 1
thread I get ~440Kops/sec. Peak performance for 1 socket (numactl
-N1) is slightly more than 1Mops/sec, at 16 threads. Peak performance
across both sockets happens at 30 threads, and is ~900Kops/sec, although
with fewer threads there is less performance loss when the system has
background work.

Summary:
There's no need for WriteImpl to flatten the write batch group
into a single WriteBatch if the WAL is disabled. This diff moves the
flattening into the WAL step, and skips flattening entirely if it isn't
needed. It's good for about 5% speedup on a multi-threaded workload
with no WAL.
This diff also adds clarifying comments about the chance for partial
failure of WriteBatchInternal::InsertInto, and always sets bg_error_ if
the memtable state diverges from the logged state or if a WriteBatch
succeeds only partially.

Summary:
This patch fixes#7460559. It introduces SingleDelete as a new database
operation. This operation can be used to delete keys that were never
overwritten (no put following another put of the same key). If an overwritten
key is single deleted the behavior is undefined. Single deletion of a
non-existent key has no effect but multiple consecutive single deletions are
not allowed (see limitations).
In contrast to the conventional Delete() operation, the deletion entry is
removed along with the value when the two are lined up in a compaction. Note:
The semantics are similar to @igor's prototype that allowed to have this
behavior on the granularity of a column family (
https://reviews.facebook.net/D42093 ). This new patch, however, is more
aggressive when it comes to removing tombstones: It removes the SingleDelete
together with the value whenever there is no snapshot between them while the
older patch only did this when the sequence number of the deletion was older
than the earliest snapshot.
Most of the complex additions are in the Compaction Iterator, all other changes
should be relatively straightforward. The patch also includes basic support for
single deletions in db_stress and db_bench.
Limitations:
- Not compatible with cuckoo hash tables
- Single deletions cannot be used in combination with merges and normal
deletions on the same key (other keys are not affected by this)
- Consecutive single deletions are currently not allowed (and older version of
this patch supported this so it could be resurrected if needed)

Summary:
This patch changes concurrency guarantees around ColumnFamilySet::column_families_ and ColumnFamilySet::column_families_data_.
Before:
* When mutating: lock DB mutex and spin lock
* When reading: lock DB mutex OR spin lock
After:
* When mutating: lock DB mutex and be in write thread
* When reading: lock DB mutex or be in write thread
That way, we eliminate the spin lock that protects these hash maps and simplify concurrency. That means we don't need to lock the spin lock during writing, since writing is mutually exclusive with column family create/drop (the only operations that mutate those hash maps).
With these new restrictions, I also needed to move column family create to the write thread (column family drop was already in the write thread).
Even though we don't need to lock the spin lock during write, impact on performance should be minimal -- the spin lock is almost never busy, so locking it is almost free.
This addresses task t5116919.

* Increase sequence number even if WriteBatch fails. This is important because WriteBatches in WAL logs have implictly increasing sequence number, even if one update in a write batch fails. This caused some writes to get lost in my CF stress testing
* Tolerate 'invalid column family' errors on recovery. When a column family is dropped, processing WAL logs can have some WriteBatches that still refer to the dropped column family. In recovery environment, we want to ignore those errors. In client's Write() code path, however, we want to return the failure to the client if he's trying to add data to invalid column family.

<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.
