Igor Canadi 58ca641d53 Make Log::Reader more robust
Summary:
This diff does two things:
(1) Log::Reader does not report a corruption when the last record in a log or manifest file is truncated (meaning that log writer died in the middle of the write). Inherited the code from LevelDB: https://code.google.com/p/leveldb/source/detail?r=269fc6ca9416129248db5ca57050cd5d39d177c8#
(2) Turn off mmap writes for all writes to log and manifest files

(2) is necessary because if we use mmap writes, the last record is not truncated, but is actually filled with zeros, making checksum fail. It is hard to recover from checksum failing.

Test Plan:
Added unit tests from LevelDB
Actually recovered a "corrupted" MANIFEST file.

# Rocksdb Change Log
## Unreleased
### Public API changes
* Removed arena.h from public header files.
* By default, checksums are verified on every read from database
* Added is_manual_compaction to CompactionFilter::Context
* Added "virtual void WaitForJoin() = 0" in class Env
### New Features
* If we find one truncated record at the end of the MANIFEST or WAL files,
we will ignore it. We assume that writers of these records were interrupted
and that we can safely ignore it.
## 2.7.0 (01/28/2014)
### Public API changes
* Renamed `StackableDB::GetRawDB()` to `StackableDB::GetBaseDB()`.
* Renamed `WriteBatch::Data()` `const std::string& Data() const`.
* Renamed class `TableStats` to `TableProperties`.
* Deleted class `PrefixHashRepFactory`. Please use `NewHashSkipListRepFactory()` instead.
* Supported multi-threaded `EnableFileDeletions()` and `DisableFileDeletions()`.
* Added `DB::GetOptions()`.
* Added `DB::GetDbIdentity()`.
### New Features
* Added [BackupableDB](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/How-to-backup-RocksDB%3F)
* Implemented [TailingIterator](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/Tailing-Iterator), a special type of iterator that
doesn't create a snapshot (can be used to read newly inserted data)
and is optimized for doing sequential reads.
* Added property block for table, which allows (1) a table to store
its metadata and (2) end user to collect and store properties they
are interested in.
* Enabled caching index and filter block in block cache (turned off by default).
* Supported error report when doing manual compaction.
* Supported additional Linux platform flavors and Mac OS.
* Put with `SliceParts` - Variant of `Put()` that gathers output like `writev(2)`
* Bug fixes and code refactor for compatibility with upcoming Column
Family feature.
### Performance Improvements
* Huge benchmark performance improvements by multiple efforts. For example, increase in readonly QPS from about 530k in 2.6 release to 1.1 million in 2.7 [1]
* Speeding up a way RocksDB deleted obsolete files - no longer listing the whole directory under a lock -- decrease in p99
* Use raw pointer instead of shared pointer for statistics: [5b825d](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/commit/5b825d6964e26ec3b4bb6faa708ebb1787f1d7bd) -- huge increase in performance -- shared pointers are slow
* Optimized locking for `Get()` -- [1fdb3f](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/commit/1fdb3f7dc60e96394e3e5b69a46ede5d67fb976c) -- 1.5x QPS increase for some workloads
* Cache speedup - [e8d40c3](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/commit/e8d40c31b3cca0c3e1ae9abe9b9003b1288026a9)
* Implemented autovector, which allocates first N elements on stack. Most of vectors in RocksDB are small. Also, we never want to allocate heap objects while holding a mutex. -- [c01676e4](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/commit/c01676e46d3be08c3c140361ef1f5884f47d3b3c)
* Lots of efforts to move malloc, memcpy and IO outside of locks
