Summary: Performing unordered writes in rocksdb when unordered_write option is set to true. When enabled the writes to memtable are done without joining any write thread. This offers much higher write throughput since the upcoming writes would not have to wait for the slowest memtable write to finish. The tradeoff is that the writes visible to a snapshot might change over time. If the application cannot tolerate that, it should implement its own mechanisms to work around that. Using TransactionDB with WRITE_PREPARED write policy is one way to achieve that. Doing so increases the max throughput by 2.2x without however compromising the snapshot guarantees. The patch is prepared based on an original by siying Existing unit tests are extended to include unordered_write option. Benchmark Results: ``` TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm/ ./db_bench_unordered --benchmarks=fillrandom --threads=32 --num=10000000 -max_write_buffer_number=16 --max_background_jobs=64 --batch_size=8 --writes=3000000 -level0_file_num_compaction_trigger=99999 --level0_slowdown_writes_trigger=99999 --level0_stop_writes_trigger=99999 -enable_pipelined_write=false -disable_auto_compactions --unordered_write=1 ``` With WAL - Vanilla RocksDB: 78.6 MB/s - WRITER_PREPARED with unordered_write: 177.8 MB/s (2.2x) - unordered_write: 368.9 MB/s (4.7x with relaxed snapshot guarantees) Without WAL - Vanilla RocksDB: 111.3 MB/s - WRITER_PREPARED with unordered_write: 259.3 MB/s MB/s (2.3x) - unordered_write: 645.6 MB/s (5.8x with relaxed snapshot guarantees) - WRITER_PREPARED with unordered_write disable concurrency control: 185.3 MB/s MB/s (2.35x) Limitations: - The feature is not yet extended to `max_successive_merges` > 0. The feature is also incompatible with `enable_pipelined_write` = true as well as with `allow_concurrent_memtable_write` = false.

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