Summary:
Finalize re-sorts (read: mutates) the files_ in Version* and it is called by CompactionPicker during normal runtime. At the same time, this same Version* lives in the SuperVersion* and is accessed without the mutex in GetImpl() code path.
Mutating the files_ in one thread and reading the same files_ in another thread is a bad idea. It caused this issue: http://ci-builds.fb.com/job/rocksdb_crashtest/285/console
Long-term, we need to be more careful with method contracts and clearly document what state can be mutated when. Now that we are much faster because we don't lock in GetImpl(), we keep running into data races that were not a problem before when we were slower. db_stress has been very helpful in detecting those.
Short-term, I removed Finalize() from CompactionPicker.
Note: I believe this is an issue in current 2.7 version running in production.
Test Plan:
make check
Will also run db_stress to see if issue is gone

Summary:
Based on my recent findings (posted in our internal group), if we use fallocate without KEEP_SIZE flag, we get superior performance of fdatasync() in append-only workloads.
This diff provides an option for user to not use KEEP_SIZE flag, thus optimizing his sync performance by up to 2x-3x.
At one point we also just called posix_fallocate instead of fallocate, which isn't very fast: http://code.woboq.org/userspace/glibc/sysdeps/posix/posix_fallocate.c.html (tl;dr it manually writes out zero bytes to allocate storage). This diff also fixes that, by first calling fallocate and then posix_fallocate if fallocate is not supported.

Summary:
When the manifest is getting rolled the following happens:
1) manifest_file_number_ is assigned to a new manifest number (even though the old one is still current)
2) mutex is unlocked
3) SetCurrentFile() creates temporary file manifest_file_number_.dbtmp
4) SetCurrentFile() renames manifest_file_number_.dbtmp to CURRENT
5) mutex is locked
If FindObsoleteFiles happens between (3) and (4) it will:
1) Delete manifest_file_number_.dbtmp (because it's not in pending_outputs_)
2) Delete old manifest (because the manifest_file_number_ already points to a new one)
I introduce the concept of prev_manifest_file_number_ that will avoid the race condition.
However, we should discuss the future of MANIFEST file rolling. We found some race conditions with it last week and who knows how many more are there. Nobody is using it in production because we don't trust the implementation. Should we even support it?

Here is what it can cause probelm:
There is one memtable flush and one compaction. Both call LogAndApply(). If both edits are applied in the same batch with flush edit first and the compaction edit followed. LogAndApplyHelper() will assign compaction edit current VersionSet's log number(which should be smaller than the log number from flush edit). It cause log_numbers in MANIFEST to be not monotonic increasing, which violates the assume Recover() makes. What is more is after comitting to MANIFEST file, log_number_ in VersionSet is updated to the log_number from the last edit, which is the compaction one. It ends up not updating the log_number.

This diff does two things:
(1) Log::Reader does not report a corruption when the last record in a log or manifest file is truncated (meaning that log writer died in the middle of the write). Inherited the code from LevelDB: https://code.google.com/p/leveldb/source/detail?r=269fc6ca9416129248db5ca57050cd5d39d177c8#
(2) Turn off mmap writes for all writes to log and manifest files
(2) is necessary because if we use mmap writes, the last record is not truncated, but is actually filled with zeros, making checksum fail. It is hard to recover from checksum failing.

ReduceNumberOfLevels had segmentation fault in WriteSnapshot() since we
didn't change the number of levels in VersionSet (we consider them
immutable from now on). This fixes the problem.
Summary:
A lot of our code implicitly assumes number_levels to be static. ReduceNumberOfLevels() breaks that assumption. For example, after calling ReduceNumberOfLevels(), DBImpl::NumberLevels() will be different from VersionSet::NumberLevels(). This is dangerous. Thankfully, it's not in public headers and is only used from LDB cmd tool. LDB tool is only using it statically, i.e. it never calls it with running DB instance. With this diff, we make it explicitly static. This way, we can assume number_levels to be immutable and not break assumption that lot of our code is relying upon. LDB tool can still use the method.
Also, I removed the method from a separate file since it breaks filename completition. version_se<TAB> now completes to "version_set." instead of "version_set" (without the dot). I don't see a big reason that the function should be in a different file.

This is a big one. This diff moves all the code related to picking compactions from VersionSet to new class CompactionPicker. Column families' compactions will be completely separate processes, so we need to have multiple CompactionPickers.
To make this easier to review, most of the code change is just copy/paste. There is also a small change not to use VersionSet::current_, but rather to take `Version* version` as a parameter. Most of the other code is exactly the same.
In future diffs, I will also make some improvements to CompactionPickers. I think the most important part will be encapsulating it better. Currently Version, VersionSet, Compaction and CompactionPicker are all friend classes, which makes it harder to change the implementation.

I will submit a sequence of diffs that are preparing master branch for column families. There are a lot of implicit assumptions in the code that are making column family implementation hard. If I make the change only in column family branch, it will make merging back to master impossible.
Most of the diffs will be simple code refactorings, so I hope we can have fast turnaround time. Feel free to grab me in person to discuss any of them.
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.
