Summary:
We occasionally get write stalls (>1s Write() calls) on HDD under read load. The following timers explain almost all of the stalls:
- perf_context.db_mutex_lock_nanos
- perf_context.db_condition_wait_nanos
- iostats_context.open_time
- iostats_context.allocate_time
- iostats_context.write_time
- iostats_context.range_sync_time
- iostats_context.logger_time
In my experiments each of these occasionally takes >1s on write path under some workload. There are rare cases when Write() takes long but none of these takes long.
Test Plan: Added code to our application to write the listed timings to log for slow writes. They usually add up to almost exactly the time Write() call took.

Summary:
DBImpl::notifying_events_ is a internal counter in DBImpl which is
used to prevent DB close when DB is notifying events. However, as
the current events all rely on either compaction or flush which
already have similar counters to prevent DB close, it is safe to
remove notifying_events_.

Summary: Optimistic transactions supporting begin/commit/rollback semantics. Currently relies on checking the memtable to determine if there are any collisions at commit time. Not yet implemented would be a way of enuring the memtable has some minimum amount of history so that we won't fail to commit when the memtable is empty. You should probably start with transaction.h to get an overview of what is currently supported.
Test Plan: Added a new test, but still need to look into stress testing.

Summary:
For transactions, we are using the memtables to validate that there are no write conflicts. But after flushing, we don't have any memtables, and transactions could fail to commit. So we want to someone keep around some extra history to use for conflict checking. In addition, we want to provide a way to increase the size of this history if too many transactions fail to commit.
After chatting with people, it seems like everyone prefers just using Memtables to store this history (instead of a separate history structure). It seems like the best place for this is abstracted inside the memtable_list. I decide to create a separate list in MemtableListVersion as using the same list complicated the flush/installalflushresults logic too much.
This diff adds a new parameter to control how much memtable history to keep around after flushing. However, it sounds like people aren't too fond of adding new parameters. So I am making the default size of flushed+not-flushed memtables be set to max_write_buffers. This should not change the maximum amount of memory used, but make it more likely we're using closer the the limit. (We are now postponing deleting flushed memtables until the max_write_buffer limit is reached). So while we might use more memory on average, we are still obeying the limit set (and you could argue it's better to go ahead and use up memory now instead of waiting for a write stall to happen to test this limit).
However, if people are opposed to this default behavior, we can easily set it to 0 and require this parameter be set in order to use transactions.
Test Plan: Added a xfunc test to play around with setting different values of this parameter in all tests. Added testing in memtablelist_test and planning on adding more testing here.

Summary:
Compaction now boosts the size of deletion entries of a file only when
the number of deletion entries is greater than the number of non-deletion
entries in the file. The motivation here is that in a stable workload,
the number of deletion entries should be roughly equal to the number of
non-deletion entries. If we compensate the size of deletion entries in a
stable workload, the deletion compensation logic might introduce unwanted
effet which changes the shape of LSM tree.

1. Previously, file deletion failure was only logged in INFO_LEVEL.
This patch changes it to ERROR_LEVEL and does some code clean.
2. EventLogger previously will always generate the same log on
table file deletion even when file deletion is not successful.
Now the resulting status of file deletion will also be logged.

Summary:
This turns out to be pretty bad because if we prioritize L0->L1 then L1 can grow artificially large, which makes L0->L1 more and more expensive. For example:
256MB @ L0 + 256MB @ L1 --> 512MB @ L1
256MB @ L0 + 512MB @ L1 --> 768MB @ L1
256MB @ L0 + 768MB @ L1 --> 1GB @ L1
....
256MB @ L0 + 10GB @ L1 --> 10.2GB @ L1
At some point we need to start compacting L1->L2 to speed up L0->L1.

Summary:
See https://gist.github.com/mdcallag/89ebb2b8cbd331854865 for the IO stats.
I added "Cumulative compaction:" and "Interval compaction:" lines. The IO rates
can be confusing. Rates fro per-level stats lines, Wr(MB/s) & Rd(MB/s), are computed
using the duration of the compaction job. If the job reads 10MB, writes 9MB and the job
(IO & merging) takes 1 second then the rates are 10MB/s for read and 9MB/s for writes.
The IO rates in the Cumulative compaction line uses the total uptime. The IO rates in the
Interval compaction line uses the interval uptime. So these Cumalative & Interval
compaction IO rates cannot be compared to the per-level IO rates. But both forms of
the rates are useful for debugging perf.
