Summary: When we had a single thread pool for compactions, a thread could be busy for a long time (minutes) executing a compaction involving the bottom level. In multi-instance setups, the entire thread pool could be consumed by such bottom-level compactions. Then, top-level compactions (e.g., a few L0 files) would be blocked for a long time ("head-of-line blocking"). Such top-level compactions are critical to prevent compaction stalls as they can quickly reduce number of L0 files / sorted runs. This diff introduces a bottom-priority queue for universal compactions including the bottom level. This alleviates the head-of-line blocking situation for fast, top-level compactions. - Added `Env::Priority::BOTTOM` thread pool. This feature is only enabled if user explicitly configures it to have a positive number of threads. - Changed `ThreadPoolImpl`'s default thread limit from one to zero. This change is invisible to users as we call `IncBackgroundThreadsIfNeeded` on the low-pri/high-pri pools during `DB::Open` with values of at least one. It is necessary, though, for bottom-pri to start with zero threads so the feature is disabled by default. - Separated `ManualCompaction` into two parts in `PrepickedCompaction`. `PrepickedCompaction` is used for any compaction that's picked outside of its execution thread, either manual or automatic. - Forward universal compactions involving last level to the bottom pool (worker thread's entry point is `BGWorkBottomCompaction`). - Track `bg_bottom_compaction_scheduled_` so we can wait for bottom-level compactions to finish. We don't count them against the background jobs limits. So users of this feature will get an extra compaction for free.
