Summary:
When prefix is enabled the expected behavior when the prefix of the target does not exist is for Seek is to seek to any key larger than target and SeekToPrev to any key less than the target.
Currently. the prefix index (kHashSearch) returns OK status but sets Invalid() to indicate two cases: a prefix of the searched key does not exist, ii) the key is beyond the range of the keys in SST file. The SeekForPrev implementation in BlockBasedTable thus does not have enough information to know when it should set the index key to first (to return a key smaller than target). The patch fixes that by returning NotFound status for cases that the prefix does not exist. SeekForPrev in BlockBasedTable accordingly SeekToFirst instead of SeekToLast on the index iterator.
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/6297
Test Plan: SeekForPrev of non-exsiting prefix is added to block_test.cc, and a test case is added in db_test2, which fails without the fix.
