Summary: With atomic flush, RocksDB background flush will flush memtables of a column family up to the largest memtable id in the immutable memtable list. This can introduce a bug in the following scenario. A user thread inserts into a column family until the memtable is full and triggers a flush. This will add the column family to flush_scheduler_. Then the user thread writes another record to the column family. In the PreprocessWrite function, the user thread picks the column family from flush_scheduler_ and schedules a flush request. The flush request gaurantees to flush all the memtables up to the current largest memtable ID of the immutable memtable list. Then the user thread writes new data to the newly-created active memtable. After the write returns, the user thread closes the db. This can cause assertion failure when the background flush thread tries to install superversion for the column family. The solution is to not install flush results if the db has already set `shutting_down_` to true.

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.
