Summary:
Currently statistics are supposed to be dumped to info log at intervals of `options.stats_dump_period_sec`. However the implementation choice was to bind it with compaction thread, meaning if the database has been serving very light traffic, the stats may not get dumped at all.
We decided to separate stats dumping into a new timed thread using `TimerQueue`, which is already used in blob_db. This will allow us schedule new timed tasks with more deterministic behavior.
Tested with db_bench using `--stats_dump_period_sec=20` in command line:
