Summary:
This is a conceptually simple change, but it touches many files to
pass the allocator through function calls.
We introduce CacheAllocator, which can be used by clients to configure
custom allocator for cache blocks. Our motivation is to hook this up
with folly's `JemallocNodumpAllocator`
(f43ce6d686/folly/experimental/JemallocNodumpAllocator.h
),
but there are many other possible use cases.
Additionally, this commit cleans up memory allocation in
`util/compression.h`, making sure that all allocations are wrapped in a
unique_ptr as soon as possible.

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.
