Summary:
### Context:
Background compactions and flush generate large reads and writes, and can be long running, especially for universal compaction. In some cases, this can impact foreground reads and writes by users.
From the RocksDB perspective, there can be two kinds of rate limiters, the internal (native) one and the external one.
- The internal (native) rate limiter is introduced in [the wiki](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/Rate-Limiter). Currently, only IO_LOW and IO_HIGH are used and they are set statically.
- For the external rate limiter, in FSWritableFile functions, IOOptions is open for end users to set and get rate_limiter_priority for their own rate limiter. Currently, RocksDB doesn’t pass the rate_limiter_priority through IOOptions to the file system.
### Solution
During the User Read, Flush write, Compaction read/write, the WriteController is used to determine whether DB writes are stalled or slowed down. The rate limiter priority (Env::IOPriority) can be determined accordingly. We decided to always pass the priority in IOOptions. What the file system does with it should be a contract between the user and the file system. We would like to set the rate limiter priority at file level, since the Flush/Compaction job level may be too coarse with multiple files and block IO level is too granular.
**This PR is for the Write path.** The **Write:** dynamic priority for different state are listed as follows:
| State | Normal | Delayed | Stalled |
| ----- | ------ | ------- | ------- |
| Flush | IO_HIGH | IO_USER | IO_USER |
| Compaction | IO_LOW | IO_USER | IO_USER |
Flush and Compaction writes share the same call path through BlockBaseTableWriter, WritableFileWriter, and FSWritableFile. When a new FSWritableFile object is created, its io_priority_ can be set dynamically based on the state of the WriteController. In WritableFileWriter, before the call sites of FSWritableFile functions, WritableFileWriter::DecideRateLimiterPriority() determines the rate_limiter_priority. The options (IOOptions) argument of FSWritableFile functions will be updated with the rate_limiter_priority.
