Summary: I added the Cache::Ref() function a couple weeks ago (#1761) to make this feature possible. Like other meta-blocks, rep_->range_del_entry holds a cache handle to pin the range deletion block in uncompressed block cache for the duration of the table reader's lifetime. We can reuse this cache handle to create an iterator over this meta-block without any cache lookup. Ref() is used to increment the cache handle's refcount in case the returned iterator outlives the table reader.

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.
