Summary: Currently, the only way to close an open DB is to destroy the DB object. There is no way for the caller to know the status. In one instance, the destructor encountered an error due to failure to close a log file on HDFS. In order to prevent silent failures, we add DB::Close() that calls CloseImpl() which must be implemented by its descendants. The main failure point in the destructor is closing the log file. This patch also adds a Close() entry point to Logger in order to get status. When DBOptions::info_log is allocated and owned by the DBImpl, it is explicitly closed by DBImpl::CloseImpl().

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.
