Summary:
shared_ptr is slower than unique_ptr (which literally comes with no performance cost compare with raw pointers).
In memtable and memtable rep, we use shared_ptr when we'd actually should use unique_ptr.
According to igor's previous work, we are likely to make quite some performance gain from this diff.

Summary:
I will submit a sequence of diffs that are preparing master branch for column families. There are a lot of implicit assumptions in the code that are making column family implementation hard. If I make the change only in column family branch, it will make merging back to master impossible.
Most of the diffs will be simple code refactorings, so I hope we can have fast turnaround time. Feel free to grab me in person to discuss any of them.
This diff removes number of level check from VersionEdit. It is used only when VersionEdit is read, not written, but has to be set when it is written. I believe it is a right thing to make VersionEdit dumb and check consistency on the caller side. This will also make it much easier to implement Column Families, since different column families can have different number of levels.

In some use cases, table readers for all live files should always be cached. In that case, there will be an opportunity to avoid the table cache look-up while Get() and NewIterator().
We define options.max_open_files = -1 to be the mode that table readers for live files will always be kept. In that mode, table readers are cached in FileMetaData (with a reference count hold in table cache). So that when executing table_cache.Get() and table_cache.newInterator(), LRU cache checking can be by-passed, to reduce latency.

Implement a mem table, in which keys are hashed based on prefixes. In each bucket, entries are organized in a sorted linked list. It has the same thread safety guarantee as skip list.
The motivation is to optimize memory usage for the case that prefix hashing is primary way of seeking to the entry. Compared to hash skip list implementation, this implementation is more memory efficient, but inside each bucket, search is always linear. The target scenario is that there are only very limited number of records in each hash bucket.

Summary:
The way DBImpl::TEST_CompactRange() throttles down the number of bg compactions
can cause it to deadlock when CompactRange() is called concurrently from
multiple threads. Imagine a following scenario with only two threads
(max_background_compactions is 10 and bg_compaction_scheduled_ is initially 0):
1. Thread #1 increments bg_compaction_scheduled_ (to LargeNumber), sets
bg_compaction_scheduled_ to 9 (newvalue), schedules the compaction
(bg_compaction_scheduled_ is now 10) and waits for it to complete.
2. Thread #2 calls TEST_CompactRange(), increments bg_compaction_scheduled_
(now LargeNumber + 10) and waits on a cv for bg_compaction_scheduled_ to
drop to LargeNumber.
3. BG thread completes the first manual compaction, decrements
bg_compaction_scheduled_ and wakes up all threads waiting on bg_cv_.
Thread #1 runs, increments bg_compaction_scheduled_ by LargeNumber again
(now 2*LargeNumber + 9). Since that's more than LargeNumber + newvalue,
thread #2 also goes to sleep (waiting on bg_cv_), without resetting
bg_compaction_scheduled_.
This diff attempts to address the problem by introducing a new counter
bg_manual_only_ (when positive, MaybeScheduleFlushOrCompaction() will only
schedule manual compactions).
Test Plan:
I could pretty much consistently reproduce the deadlock with a program that
calls CompactRange(nullptr, nullptr) immediately after Write() from multiple
threads. This no longer happens with this patch.
Tests (make check) pass.

Summary:
<This diff is for Column Family branch>
Sharing some of the work I've done so far. This diff compiles and passes the tests.
The biggest change is in options.h - I broke down Options into two parts - DBOptions and ColumnFamilyOptions. DBOptions is DB-specific (env, create_if_missing, block_cache, etc.) and ColumnFamilyOptions is column family-specific (all compaction options, compresion options, etc.). Note that this does not break backwards compatibility at all.
Further, I created DBWithColumnFamily which inherits DB interface and adds new functions with column family support. Clients can transparently switch to DBWithColumnFamily and it will not break their backwards compatibility.
There are few methods worth checking out: ListColumnFamilies(), MultiNewIterator(), MultiGet() and GetSnapshot(). [GetSnapshot() returns the snapshot across all column families for now - I think that's what we agreed on]
Finally, I made small changes to WriteBatch so we are able to atomically insert data across column families.
Please provide feedback.
