Summary: As discussed on the mailing list (["Skipping entire SSTs while iterating"](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rocksdb/ujHCJVLrHlU)), this patch adds a `table_filter` to `ReadOptions` that allows specifying a callback to be executed during iteration before each table in the database is scanned. The callback is passed the table's properties; the table is scanned iff the callback returns true. This can be used in conjunction with a `TablePropertiesCollector` to dramatically speed up scans by skipping tables that are known to contain irrelevant data for the scan at hand. We're using this [downstream in CockroachDB](https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/blob/master/pkg/storage/engine/db.cc#L2009-L2022) already. With this feature, under ideal conditions, we can reduce the time of an incremental backup in from hours to seconds. FYI, the first commit in this PR fixes a segfault that I unfortunately have not figured out how to reproduce outside of CockroachDB. I'm hoping you accept it on the grounds that it is not correct to return 8-byte aligned memory from a call to `malloc` on some 64-bit platforms; one correct approach is to infer the necessary alignment from `std::max_align_t`, as done here. As noted in the first commit message, the bug is tickled by having a`std::function` in `struct ReadOptions`. That is, the following patch alone is enough to cause RocksDB to segfault when run from CockroachDB on Darwin. ```diff --- a/include/rocksdb/options.h +++ b/include/rocksdb/options.h @@ -1546,6 +1546,13 @@ struct ReadOptions { // Default: false bool ignore_range_deletions; + // A callback to determine whether relevant keys for this scan exist in a + // given table based on the table's properties.
