Summary:
This is a rough sketch of our new document API. Would like to get some thoughts and comments about the high-level architecture and API.
I didn't optimize for performance at all. Leaving some low-hanging fruit so that we can be happy when we fix them! :)
Currently, bunch of features are not supported at all. Indexes can be only specified when creating database. There is no query planner whatsoever. This will all be added in due time.
Test Plan: Added a simple unit test

Summary:
After evaluating options for JSON storage, I decided to implement our own. The reason is that we'll be able to optimize it better and we get to reduce unnecessary dependencies (which is what we'd get with folly).
I also plan to write a serializer/deserializer for JSONDocument with our own binary format similar to BSON. That way we'll store binary JSON format in RocksDB instead of the plain-text JSON. This means less storage and faster deserialization.
There are still some inefficiencies left here. I plan to optimize them after we develop a functioning DocumentDB. That way we can move and iterate faster.
