Igor Canadi 038a477b53 Make it easier to start using RocksDB
Summary:
This diff is addressing multiple things with a single goal -- to make RocksDB easier to use:
* Add some functions to Options that make RocksDB easier to tune.
* Add example code for both simple RocksDB and RocksDB with Column Families.
* Rewrite our README.md

Regarding Options, I took a stab at something we talked about for a long time:
* https://www.facebook.com/groups/rocksdb.dev/permalink/563169950448190/

I added functions:
* IncreaseParallelism() -- easy, increases the thread pool and max_background_compactions
* OptimizeLevelStyleCompaction(memtable_memory_budget) -- the easiest way to optimize rocksdb for less stalls with level style compaction. This is very likely not ideal configuration. Feel free to suggest improvements. I used some of Mark's suggestions from here: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/54
* OptimizeUniversalStyleCompaction(memtable_memory_budget) -- optimize for universal compaction.

Test Plan: compiled rocksdb. ran examples.

RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage

RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team. It is built on on earlier work on LevelDB by Sanjay Ghemawat (sanjay@google.com) and Jeff Dean (jeff@google.com)

This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast key value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives. It has an Log-Structured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs between Write-Amplification-Factor (WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF) and Space-Amplification-Factor (SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions, making it specially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.

Start with example usage here: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/tree/master/examples

See doc/index.html and github wiki for more explanation.

The public interface is in include/. Callers should not include or rely on the details of any other header files in this package. Those internal APIs may be changed without warning.

Design discussions are conducted in https://www.facebook.com/groups/rocksdb.dev/
