Summary: Backup engine is intentionally openable even when some backups are corrupt. Previously the engine could write new backups as long as the most recent backup wasn't corrupt. This PR makes the backup engine able to create new backups even when the most recent one is corrupt. We now maintain two ID instance variables: - `latest_backup_id_` is used when creating backup to choose the new ID - `latest_valid_backup_id_` is used when restoring latest backup since we want most recent valid one Closes https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/2804 Differential Revision: D5734148 Pulled By: ajkr fbshipit-source-id: db440707b31df2c7b084188aa5f6368449e10bcf
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.
