Summary: Since https://reviews.facebook.net/D16119, we ignore partial tailing writes. Because of that, we no longer need skip_log_error_on_recovery. The documentation says "Skip log corruption error on recovery (If client is ok with losing most recent changes)", while the option actually ignores any corruption of the WAL (not only just the most recent changes). This is very dangerous and can lead to DB inconsistencies. This was originally set up to ignore partial tailing writes, which we now do automatically (after D16119). I have digged up old task t2416297 which confirms my findings. Test Plan: There was actually no tests that verified correct behavior of skip_log_error_on_recovery.

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.
