Summary:
Move PlainTableIterator's copied key from std::string local buffer to avoid paying the extra costs in std::string related to sharing. Reuse the same buffer class in DbIter. Move the class to dbformat.h.
This patch improves iterator performance significantly. Running this benchmark:
./table_reader_bench --num_keys2=17 --iterator --plain_table --time_unit=nanosecond
The average latency is improved to about 750 nanoseconds from 1100 nanoseconds.
Test Plan:
Add a unit test.
