Summary:
There are certain use-cases where the application intends to
delete older keys aftre they have expired a certian time period.
One option for those applications is to periodically scan the
entire database and delete appropriate keys.
A better way is to allow the application to hook into the
compaction process. This patch allows the application to set
a method callback for every key that is being compacted. If
this method returns true, then the key is not preserved in
the output of the compaction.
Test Plan:
This is mostly to preview the proposed new public api.
Since it is a public api, please do due diligence on reviewing it.
I will be writing test cases for this api in mynext version of
this patch.
