Summary:
When write stall has already been triggered due to number of L0 files reaching
threshold, file ingestion must proceed with its flush without waiting for the
write stall condition to cleared by the compaction because compaction can wait
for ingestion to finish (circular wait).
In order to avoid this wait, we can set `FlushOptions.allow_write_stall` to be
true (default is false). Setting it to false can cause deadlock.
This can happen when the number of compaction threads is low.
Considere the following
```
Time compaction_thread ingestion_thread
| num_running_ingest_file_++
| while(num_running_ingest_file_>0){wait}
| flush
V
```

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.
