a52dd00243 Fix ASAN failure with backupable DB
Summary: It looks like ASAN with gcc 4.9 works better than 4.8.1. It detected this possibility of heap buffer overflow. This was in our codebase for a year :)

628a67b007 Reduce memory footprint in backupable db.
* Use emplace when possible.
* Make FileInfo shared among all BackupMeta, instead of storing filenames.
* Make checksum_value in FileInfo constant.
* Reserve space beforehand if container size is known.
* Make FileInfo and BackupMeta non-copyable and non-assignable to prevent future logic errors.
  It is very dangerous to copy BackupMeta without careful handling refcounts of FileInfo.
* Remove a copy of BackupMeta when detected corrupt backup.

caa1fd0e0e Improve performance when loading BackupMeta.
* Use strtoul() and strtoull() instead of sscanf().
  glibc's sscanf() will do a implicit strlen().

* Move implicit construction of Slice("crc32 ") out of loop.

373c665edf Fix broken test in 31b02d.
Summary:
CorruptionTest for backupable_db_test did not call
GarbageCollect() after deleting a corrupt backup,
which sometimes lead to test failures as the newly created backup
would reuse the same backup ID and files and fail the consistency
check.

Moved around some of the test logic to ensure that GarbageCollect()
is called at the right time.

Test Plan:
Run backupable_db_test eight times and make sure
it passes repeatedly. Also run make check to make sure other
tests don't fail.

31b02dc21d Improve Backup Engine.
Summary:
Improve the backup engine by not deleting the corrupted
backup when it is detected; instead leaving it to the client
to delete the corrupted backup.

Also add a BackupEngine::Open() call.

Test Plan:
Add check to CorruptionTest inside backupable_db_test
to check that the corrupt backups are not deleted. The previous
version of the code failed this test as backups were deleted,
but after the changes in this commit, this test passes.

Run make check to ensure that no other tests fail.

Summary:
We need to turn on -Wshorten-64-to-32 for mobile. See D1671432 (internal phabricator) for details.

This diff turns on the warning flag and fixes all the errors. There were also some interesting errors that I might call bugs, especially in plain table. Going forward, I think it makes sense to have this flag turned on and be very very careful when converting 64-bit to 32-bit variables.

0ff183a0d9 Move include/utilities/*.h to include/rocksdb/utilities/*.h
Summary:
All public headers need to be under `include/rocksdb` directory. Otherwise, clients include our header files like this:

    #include <rocksdb/db.h>
    #include <utilities/backupable_db.h> // still our public header!

Also, internally, we include:

    #include "utilities/backupable/backupable_db.h" // internal header
    #include "utilities/backupable_db.h" // public header

which is confusing.

This way, when we install rocksdb as a system library, we can just copy `include/rocksdb` directory to system's header files. We can't really copy `utilities` directory to system's header files.

(2) Don't use OS buffer when copying file to backup directory. We don't need the file in cache since we won't be reading it twice
(3) Don't delete newer backups when somebody tries to backup the diverged DB (restore from older backup, add new data, try to backup). Rather, just fail the new backup.

b06840aa7d [CF] Rethinking ColumnFamilyHandle and fix to dropping column families
Summary:
The change to the public behavior:
* When opening a DB or creating new column family client gets a ColumnFamilyHandle.
* As long as column family handle is alive, client can do whatever he wants with it, even drop it
* Dropped column family can still be read from (using the column family handle)
* Added a new call CloseColumnFamily(). Client has to close all column families that he has opened before deleting the DB
* As soon as column family is closed, any calls to DB using that column family handle will fail (also any outstanding calls)

Internally:
* Ref-counting ColumnFamilyData
* New thread-safety for ColumnFamilySet
* Dropped column families are now completely dropped and their memory cleaned-up

Test Plan: added some tests to column_family_test

9385a5247e [RocksDB] [Column Family] Interface proposal
Summary:
<This diff is for Column Family branch>

Sharing some of the work I've done so far. This diff compiles and passes the tests.

The biggest change is in options.h - I broke down Options into two parts - DBOptions and ColumnFamilyOptions. DBOptions is DB-specific (env, create_if_missing, block_cache, etc.) and ColumnFamilyOptions is column family-specific (all compaction options, compresion options, etc.). Note that this does not break backwards compatibility at all.

Further, I created DBWithColumnFamily which inherits DB interface and adds new functions with column family support. Clients can transparently switch to DBWithColumnFamily and it will not break their backwards compatibility.
There are few methods worth checking out: ListColumnFamilies(), MultiNewIterator(), MultiGet() and GetSnapshot(). [GetSnapshot() returns the snapshot across all column families for now - I think that's what we agreed on]

Finally, I made small changes to WriteBatch so we are able to atomically insert data across column families.

Please provide feedback.

Test Plan: make check works, the code is backward compatible

5e4ab767cf BackupableDB delete backups with newer seq number
Summary: We now delete backups with newer sequence number, so the clients don't have to handle confusing situations when they restore from backup.

Test Plan: added a unit test

fb9fce4fc3 [RocksDB] BackupableDB
Summary:
In this diff I present you BackupableDB v1. You can easily use it to backup your DB and it will do incremental snapshots for you.
Let's first describe how you would use BackupableDB. It's inheriting StackableDB interface so you can easily construct it with your DB object -- it will add a method RollTheSnapshot() to the DB object. When you call RollTheSnapshot(), current snapshot of the DB will be stored in the backup dir. To restore, you can just call RestoreDBFromBackup() on a BackupableDB (which is a static method) and it will restore all files from the backup dir. In the next version, it will even support automatic backuping every X minutes.

There are multiple things you can configure:
1. backup_env and db_env can be different, which is awesome because then you can easily backup to HDFS or wherever you feel like.
2. sync - if true, it *guarantees* backup consistency on machine reboot
3. number of snapshots to keep - this will keep last N snapshots around if you want, for some reason, be able to restore from an earlier snapshot. All the backuping is done in incremental fashion - if we already have 00010.sst, we will not copy it again. *IMPORTANT* -- This is based on assumption that 00010.sst never changes - two files named 00010.sst from the same DB will always be exactly the same. Is this true? I always copy manifest, current and log files.
4. You can decide if you want to flush the memtables before you backup, or you're fine with backing up the log files -- either way, you get a complete and consistent view of the database at a time of backup.
5. More things you can find in BackupableDBOptions

Here is the directory structure I use:

   backup_dir/CURRENT_SNAPSHOT - just 4 bytes holding the latest snapshot
               0, 1, 2, ... - files containing serialized version of each snapshot - containing a list of files
               files/*.sst - sst files shared between snapshots - if one snapshot references 00010.sst and another one needs to backup it from the DB, it will just reference the same file
               files/ 0/, 1/, 2/, ... - snapshot directories containing private snapshot files - current, manifest and log files

All the files are ref counted and deleted immediatelly when they get out of scope.

Some other stuff in this diff:
1. Added GetEnv() method to the DB. Discussed with @haobo and we agreed that it seems right thing to do.
2. Fixed StackableDB interface. The way it was set up before, I was not able to implement BackupableDB.

Test Plan:
I have a unittest, but please don't look at this yet. I just hacked it up to help me with debugging. I will write a lot of good tests and update the diff.

Also, `make asan_check`
