Summary: Implement an experimental feature called "MemPurge", which consists in purging "garbage" bytes out of a memtable and reuse the memtable struct instead of making it immutable and eventually flushing its content to storage. The prototype is by default deactivated and is not intended for use. It is intended for correctness and validation testing. At the moment, the "MemPurge" feature can be switched on by using the `options.experimental_allow_mempurge` flag. For this early stage, when the allow_mempurge flag is set to `true`, all the flush operations will be rerouted to perform a MemPurge. This is a temporary design decision that will give us the time to explore meaningful heuristics to use MemPurge at the right time for relevant workloads . Moreover, the current MemPurge operation only supports `Puts`, `Deletes`, `DeleteRange` operations, and handles `Iterators` as well as `CompactionFilter`s that are invoked at flush time . Three unit tests are added to `db_flush_test.cc` to test if MemPurge works correctly (and checks that the previously mentioned operations are fully supported thoroughly tested). One noticeable design decision is the timing of the MemPurge operation in the memtable workflow: for this prototype, the mempurge happens when the memtable is switched (and usually made immutable). This is an inefficient process because it implies that the entirety of the MemPurge operation happens while holding the db_mutex. Future commits will make the MemPurge operation a background task (akin to the regular flush operation) and aim at drastically enhancing the performance of this operation. The MemPurge is also not fully "WAL-compatible" yet, but when the WAL is full, or when the regular MemPurge operation fails (or when the purged memtable still needs to be flushed), a regular flush operation takes place. Later commits will also correct these behaviors.

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 especially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.
