Summary:
The sample selection technique taken in https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/7970 was problematic
because it had two code paths for sample selection depending on the
number of data blocks, and one of those code paths involved an
allocation. Using prime numbers, we can consolidate into one code path
without allocation. The downside is there will be values of N (number of
data blocks buffered) that suffer from poor spread in the selected
samples.
