// If true, the implementation will do aggressive checking of the
// data it is processing and will stop early if it detects any
// errors. This may have unforeseen ramifications: for example, a
// corruption of one DB entry may cause a large number of entries to
// become unreadable or for the entire DB to become unopenable.
// Default: false

// -------------------
// Parameters that affect performance
// Amount of data to build up in memory (backed by an unsorted log
// on disk) before converting to a sorted on-disk file.
//
// Larger values increase performance, especially during bulk loads.
// Up to two write buffers may be held in memory at the same time,
// so you may wish to adjust this parameter to control memory usage.
//
// Default: 4MB
size_t write_buffer_size;
// Number of open files that can be used by the DB. You may need to
// increase this if your database has a large working set (budget
// one open file per 2MB of working set).

// Control over blocks (user data is stored in a set of blocks, and
// a block is the unit of reading from disk).
// If non-NULL, use the specified cache for blocks.
// If NULL, leveldb will automatically create and use an 8MB internal cache.
// Default: NULL
Cache* block_cache;
// Approximate size of user data packed per block. Note that the
// block size specified here corresponds to uncompressed data. The
// actual size of the unit read from disk may be smaller if
// compression is enabled. This parameter can be changed dynamically.
//
// Default: 4K

//
// Typical speeds of kSnappyCompression on an Intel(R) Core(TM)2 2.4GHz:
// ~200-500MB/s compression
// ~400-800MB/s decompression
// Note that these speeds are significantly faster than most
// persistent storage speeds, and therefore it is typically never
// worth switching to kNoCompression. Even if the input data is
// incompressible, the kSnappyCompression implementation will
// efficiently detect that and will switch to uncompressed mode.
