Summary: For dictionary compression, we need to collect some representative samples of the data to be compressed, which we use to either generate or train (when `CompressionOptions::zstd_max_train_bytes > 0`) a dictionary. Previously, the strategy was to buffer all the data blocks during flush, and up to the target file size during compaction. That strategy allowed us to randomly pick samples from as wide a range as possible that'd be guaranteed to land in a single output file. However, some users try to make huge files in memory-constrained environments, where this strategy can cause OOM. This PR introduces an option, `CompressionOptions::max_dict_buffer_bytes`, that limits how much data blocks are buffered before we switch to unbuffered mode (which means creating the per-SST dictionary, writing out the buffered data, and compressing/writing new blocks as soon as they are built). It is not strict as we currently buffer more than just data blocks -- also keys are buffered. But it does make a step towards giving users predictable memory usage. Related changes include: - Changed sampling for dictionary compression to select unique data blocks when there is limited availability of data blocks - Made use of `BlockBuilder::SwapAndReset()` to save an allocation+memcpy when buffering data blocks for building a dictionary - Changed `ParseBoolean()` to accept an input containing characters after the boolean. This is necessary since, with this PR, a value for `CompressionOptions::enabled` is no longer necessarily the final component in the `CompressionOptions` string. Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/7970 Test Plan: - updated `CompressionOptions` unit tests to verify limit is respected (to the extent expected in the current implementation) in various scenarios of flush/compaction to bottommost/non-bottommost level - looked at jemalloc heap profiles right before and after switching to unbuffered mode during flush/compaction. Verified memory usage in buffering is proportional to the limit set.

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 especially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.
