Summary:
During compaction, we sync the output files after they are fully written out. This causes unnecessary blocking of the compaction thread and burstiness of the write traffic.
This diff simply asks the OS to sync data incrementally as they are written, on the background. The hope is that, at the final sync, most of the data are already on disk and we would block less on the sync call. Thus, each compaction runs faster and we could use fewer number of compaction threads to saturate IO.
In addition, the write traffic will be smoothed out, hopefully reducing the IO P99 latency too.
Some quick tests show 10~20% improvement in per thread compaction throughput. Combined with posix advice on compaction read, just 5 threads are enough to almost saturate the udb flash bandwidth for 800 bytes write only benchmark.
What's more promising is that, with saturated IO, iostat shows average wait time is actually smoother and much smaller.
For the write only test 800bytes test:
Before the change: await occillate between 10ms and 3ms
After the change: await ranges 1-3ms
Will test against read-modify-write workload too, see if high read latency P99 could be resolved.
Will introduce a parameter to control the sync interval in a follow up diff after cleaning up EnvOptions.

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 patch introduces the ability to set different multipliers

size of level[i] = size of level[i-1] * max_bytes_for_level_multiplier

The default value of fanout is 1, so that it is backward compatible.

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

Summary:
This adds the rate_delay_limit_milliseconds option to make the delay
configurable in MakeRoomForWrite when the max compaction score is too high.
This delay is called the Ln slowdown. This change also counts the Ln slowdown
per level to make it possible to see where the stalls occur.
From IO-bound performance testing, the Level N stalls occur:
* with compression -> at the largest uncompressed level. This makes sense
because compaction for compressed levels is much
slower. When Lx is uncompressed and Lx+1 is compressed
then files pile up at Lx because the (Lx,Lx+1)->Lx+1
compaction process is the first to be slowed by
compression.
* without compression -> at level 1

Summary:
Rocks accumulates recent writes and deletes in the in-memory memtable.
When the memtable is full, it writes the contents on the memtable to
a file in L0.
This patch removes redundant records at the time of the flush. If there
are multiple versions of the same key in the memtable, then only the
most recent one is dumped into the output file. The purging of
redundant records occur only if the most recent snapshot is earlier
than the earliest record in the memtable.
Should we switch on this feature by default or should we keep this feature
turned off in the default settings?

Summary:
Leveldb has an api OpenForReadOnly() that opens the database
in readonly mode. This call had an option to not process the
transaction log. This patch removes this option and always
processes all transactions that had been committed. It has
been done in such a way that it does not create/write to
any new files in the process. The invariant of "no-writes"
to the leveldb data directory is still true.
This enhancement allows multiple threads to open the same database
in readonly mode and access all trancations that were committed right
upto the OpenForReadOnly call.
I changed the public API to match the new semantics because
there are no users who are currently using this api.
