Summary: RocksDB has historically stored uncompression dictionary objects in the block cache as opposed to storing just the block contents. This neccesitated evicting the object upon table close. With the new code, only the raw blocks are stored in the cache, eliminating the need for eviction. In addition, the patch makes the following improvements: 1) Compression dictionary blocks are now prefetched/pinned similarly to index/filter blocks. 2) A copy operation got eliminated when the uncompression dictionary is retrieved. 3) Errors related to retrieving the uncompression dictionary are propagated as opposed to silently ignored. Note: the patch temporarily breaks the compression dictionary evicition stats. They will be fixed in a separate phase.

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 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 a 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.
