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:
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.
Test Plan:
Added unit tests from LevelDB
Actually recovered a "corrupted" MANIFEST file.

Summary:
Lots of code expects Options on construction/function call. My original idea was to split Options argument into ColumnFamilyOptions and DBOptions (the latter only if needed). However, this will require huge code changes very deep in the stack.
The better idea is to have ColumnFamilyData hold both ColumnFamilyOptions and Options. ColumnFamilyData::Options would be constructed from DBOptions (same for each column family) and ColumnFamilyOptions (different for each column family)
Now when we construct a class or call any method that requires Options, we can just push him ColumnFamilyData::Options and be sure that it's using column-family-specific settings.

Summary:
Adapting table cache to column families is interesting. We want table cache to be global LRU, so if some column families are use not as often as others, we want them to be evicted from cache. However, current TableCache object also constructs tables on its own. If table is not found in the cache, TableCache automatically creates new table. We want each column family to be able to specify different table factory.
To solve the problem, we still have a single LRU, but we provide the LRUCache object to TableCache on construction. We have one TableCache per column family, but the underyling cache is shared by all TableCache objects.
This allows us to have a global LRU, but still be able to support different table factories for different column families. Also, in the future it will also be able to support different directories for different column families.

Summary:
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. This will also make it much easier to implement Column Families, since different column families can have different number of levels.

Summary:
In some use cases, table readers for all live files should always be cached. In that case, there will be an opportunity to avoid the table cache look-up while Get() and NewIterator().
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.

Summary:
Currently for each put, a fresh memory is allocated, and a new entry is added to the memtable with a new sequence number irrespective of whether the key already exists in the memtable. This diff is an attempt to update the value inplace for existing keys. It currently handles a very simple case:
1. Key already exists in the current memtable. Does not inplace update values in immutable memtable or snapshot
2. Latest value type is a 'put' ie kTypeValue
3. New value size is less than existing value, to avoid reallocating memory
TODO: For a put of an existing key, deallocate memory take by values, for other value types till a kTypeValue is found, ie. remove kTypeMerge.
TODO: Update the transaction log, to allow consistent reload of the memtable.
Test Plan: Added a unit test verifying the inplace update. But some other unit tests broken due to invalid sequence number checks. WIll fix them next.

This patch adds a option for universal compaction to allow us to only compress output files if the files compacted previously did not yet reach a specified ratio, to save CPU costs in some cases.
Compression is always skipped for flushing. This is because the size information is not easy to evaluate for flushing case. We can improve it later.

Summary:
There is a new option called hybrid_mode which, when switched on,
causes HBase style compactions. Files from L0 are
compacted back into L0. This meat of this compaction algorithm
is in PickCompactionHybrid().
All files reside in L0. That means all files have overlapping
keys. Each file has a time-bound, i.e. each file contains a
range of keys that were inserted around the same time. The
start-seqno and the end-seqno refers to the timeframe when
these keys were inserted. Files that have contiguous seqno
are compacted together into a larger file. All files are
ordered from most recent to the oldest.
The current compaction algorithm starts to look for
candidate files starting from the most recent file. It continues to
add more files to the same compaction run as long as the
sum of the files chosen till now is smaller than the next
candidate file size. This logic needs to be debated
and validated.
The above logic should reduce write amplification to a
large extent... will publish numbers shortly.
Test Plan: dbstress runs for 6 hours with no data corruption (tested so far).

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.

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:
This patch allows compaction to occur in multiple background threads
concurrently.
If a manual compaction is issued, the system falls back to a
single-compaction-thread model. This is done to ensure correctess
and simplicity of code. When the manual compaction is finished,
the system resumes its concurrent-compaction mode automatically.
The updates to the manifest are done via group-commit approach.
Test Plan: run db_bench
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.

- Removed one copy of an uncompressed block contents changing
the signature of Snappy_Uncompress() so it uncompresses into a
