Summary: This diff adds rapidjson (https://code.google.com/p/rapidjson/) to RocksDB repository. First step to adding JSON is to add a JSON parser :) I'm not sure if rapidjson is the right choice. I only considered folly as an alternative. Using folly JSON parser has serious downsides. I tried extracting folly::json from the folly library. However, it depends on folly::dynamic, which basically depends on everything else. I would prefer to avoid adding complete folly library as RocksDB dependency. Folly has a lot of its own dependencies (https://github.com/facebook/folly) and also looks like open source world has some trouble installing it (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/facebook-folly -- 60% of the posts are compile errors). We can discuss this if you think otherwise. RapidJSON does not have any dependencies whatsoever. No boost, no STL. We don't need to compile it since it's all header files. The performance results are also impressive: https://code.google.com/p/rapidjson/wiki/Performance. However, I'll make sure to write code in a way that we can easily switch JSON implementations going forward.

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 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 an 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.
Start with example usage here: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/tree/master/examples
See doc/index.html and github wiki for more explanation.
The public interface is in include/. Callers should not include or
rely on the details of any other header files in this package. Those
internal APIs may be changed without warning.
