Mayank Agarwal d786b25e2d Timestamp and TTL Wrapper for rocksdb
Summary:
When opened with DBTimestamp::Open call, timestamps are prepended to and stripped from the value during subsequent Put and Get calls respectively. The Timestamp is used to discard values in Get and custom compaction filter which have exceeded their TTL which is specified during Open.
Have made a temporary change to Makefile to let us test with the temporary file TestTime.cc. Have also changed the private members of db_impl.h to protected to let them be inherited by the new class DBTimestamp

Test Plan: make db_timestamp; TestTime.cc(will not check it in) shows how to use the apis currently, but I will write unit-tests shortly

// This class contains APIs to open leveldb with specific support eg. TTL

public:
// Open the database with TTL support.
//
// USE-CASES:
// This API should be used to open the db when key-values inserted are
// meant to be removed from the db in a non-strict 'ttl' amount of time
// Therefore, this guarantees that key-values inserted will remain in the
// db for >= ttl amount of time and the db will make efforts to remove the
// key-values as soon as possible after ttl seconds of their insertion.
//
// BEHAVIOUR:
// TTL is accepted in seconds
// (int32_t)Timestamp(creation) is suffixed to values in Put internally
// Expired TTL values deleted in compaction only:(Timestamp+ttl<time_now)
// Get/Iterator may return expired entries(compaction not run on them yet)
// Different TTL may be used during different Opens
// Example: Open1 at t=0 with ttl=4 and insert k1,k2, close at t=2
// Open2 at t=3 with ttl=5. Now k1,k2 should be deleted at t>=5
//
// CONSTRAINTS:
// The caller must not specify any compaction-filter in options
// Not specifying/passing or non-positive TTL behaves like TTL = infinity
//
// !!!WARNING!!!:
// Calling DB::Open directly to re-open a db created by this API will get
// corrupt values(timestamp suffixed) and no ttl effect will be there
// during the second Open, so use this API consistently to open the db
// Be careful when passing ttl with a small positive value because the
// whole database may be deleted in a small amount of time
