Summary:
Recently we added the ability to verify some prefix of operations are recovered (AKA no "hole" in the recovered data) (https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/8966). Besides testing unsynced data loss scenarios, it is also useful to test WAL disabled use cases, where unflushed writes are expected to be lost. Note RocksDB only offers the prefix-recovery guarantee to WAL-disabled use cases that use atomic flush, so crash test always enables atomic flush when WAL is disabled.
To verify WAL-disabled crash-recovery correctness globally, i.e., also in whitebox and blackbox transaction tests, it is possible but requires further changes. I added TODOs in db_crashtest.py.
Depends on https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/9305.
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/9338
Test Plan: Running all crash tests and many instances of blackbox. Sandcastle links are in Phabricator diff test plan.
