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.

Summary:
The existing implementation does not guarantee bytes reach disk every `bytes_per_sync` when writing SST files, or every `wal_bytes_per_sync` when writing WALs. This can cause confusing behavior for users who enable this feature to avoid large syncs during flush and compaction, but then end up hitting them anyways.
My understanding of the existing behavior is we used `sync_file_range` with `SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE` to submit ranges for async writeback, such that we could continue processing the next range of bytes while that I/O is happening. I believe we can preserve that benefit while also limiting how far the processing can get ahead of the I/O, which prevents huge syncs from happening when the file finishes.
Consider this `sync_file_range` usage: `sync_file_range(fd_, 0, static_cast<off_t>(offset + nbytes), SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE | SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE)`. Expanding the range to start at 0 and adding the `SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE` flag causes any pending writeback (like from a previous call to `sync_file_range`) to finish before it proceeds to submit the latest `nbytes` for writeback. The latest `nbytes` are still written back asynchronously, unless processing exceeds I/O speed, in which case the following `sync_file_range` will need to wait on it.
There is a second change in this PR to use `fdatasync` when `sync_file_range` is unavailable (determined statically) or has some known problem with the underlying filesystem (determined dynamically).
The above two changes only apply when the user enables a new option, `strict_bytes_per_sync`.

Summary:
Annotate all of the logging functions to inform the compiler that these
use printf-style formatting arguments. This allows the compiler to emit
warnings if the format arguments are incorrect.
This also fixes many problems reported now that format string checking
is enabled. Many of these are simply mix-ups in the argument type (e.g,
int vs uint64_t), but in several cases the wrong number of arguments
were being passed in which can cause the code to crash.
The primary motivation for this was to fix the log message in
`DBImpl::SwitchMemtable()` which caused a segfault due to an extra %s
format parameter with no argument supplied.

Summary:
Just like ReadOptions::background_purge_on_iterator_cleanup but for ColumnFamilyHandle instead of Iterator.
In our use case we sometimes call ColumnFamilyHandle's destructor from low-latency threads, and sometimes it blocks the thread for a few seconds deleting the files. To avoid that, we can either offload ColumnFamilyHandle's destruction to a background thread on our side, or add this option on rocksdb side. This PR does the latter, to be consistent with how we solve exactly the same problem for iterators using background_purge_on_iterator_cleanup option.
(EDIT: It's avoid_unnecessary_blocking_io now, and affects both CF drops and iterator destructors.)
I'm not quite comfortable with having two separate options (background_purge_on_iterator_cleanup and background_purge_on_cf_cleanup) for such a rarely used thing. Maybe we should merge them? Rename background_purge_on_cf_cleanup to something like delete_files_on_background_threads_only or avoid_blocking_io_in_unexpected_places, and make iterators use it instead of the one in ReadOptions? I can do that here if you guys think it's better.

Summary:
This PR adds public `GetStatsHistory` API to retrieve stats history in the form of an std map. The key of the map is the timestamp in microseconds when the stats snapshot is taken, the value is another std map from stats name to stats value (stored in std string). Two DBOptions are introduced: `stats_persist_period_sec` (default 10 minutes) controls the intervals between two snapshots are taken; `max_stats_history_count` (default 10) controls the max number of history snapshots to keep in memory. RocksDB will stop collecting stats snapshots if `stats_persist_period_sec` is set to 0.

Summary:
In the past, both `DBImpl::atomic_flush_` and
`DBImpl::immutable_db_options_.atomic_flush` exist. However, we fail to set
`immutable_db_options_.atomic_flush`, but use `DBImpl::atomic_flush_` which is
set correctly. This does not lead to incorrect behavior, but is a duplicate of
information.
Since `immutable_db_options_` is always there and has `atomic_flush`, we should
use it as source of truth and remove `DBImpl::atomic_flush_`.

Summary:
The motivation for this PR is to add to RocksDB support for differential (incremental) snapshots, as snapshot of the DB changes between two points in time (one can think of it as diff between to sequence numbers, or the diff D which can be thought of as an SST file or just set of KVs that can be applied to sequence number S1 to get the database to the state at sequence number S2).
This feature would be useful for various distributed storages layers built on top of RocksDB, as it should help reduce resources (time and network bandwidth) needed to recover and rebuilt DB instances as replicas in the context of distributed storages.
From the API standpoint that would like client app requesting iterator between (start seqnum) and current DB state, and reading the "diff".
This is a very draft PR for initial review in the discussion on the approach, i'm going to rework some parts and keep updating the PR.
For now, what's done here according to initial discussions:
Preserving deletes:
- We want to be able to optionally preserve recent deletes for some defined period of time, so that if a delete came in recently and might need to be included in the next incremental snapshot it would't get dropped by a compaction. This is done by adding new param to Options (preserve deletes flag) and new variable to DB Impl where we keep track of the sequence number after which we don't want to drop tombstones, even if they are otherwise eligible for deletion.
- I also added a new API call for clients to be able to advance this cutoff seqnum after which we drop deletes; i assume it's more flexible to let clients control this, since otherwise we'd need to keep some kind of timestamp < -- > seqnum mapping inside the DB, which sounds messy and painful to support. Clients could make use of it by periodically calling GetLatestSequenceNumber(), noting the timestamp, doing some calculation and figuring out by how much we need to advance the cutoff seqnum.
- Compaction codepath in compaction_iterator.cc has been modified to avoid dropping tombstones with seqnum > cutoff seqnum.
Iterator changes:
- couple params added to ReadOptions, to optionally allow client to request internal keys instead of user keys (so that client can get the latest value of a key, be it delete marker or a put), as well as min timestamp and min seqnum.
TableCache changes:
- I modified table_cache code to be able to quickly exclude SST files from iterators heep if creation_time on the file is less then iter_start_ts as passed in ReadOptions. That would help a lot in some DB settings (like reading very recent data only or using FIFO compactions), but not so much for universal compaction with more or less long iterator time span.
What's left:
- Still looking at how to best plug that inside DBIter codepath. So far it seems that FindNextUserKeyInternal only parses values as UserKeys, and iter->key() call generally returns user key. Can we add new API to DBIter as internal_key(), and modify this internal method to optionally set saved_key_ to point to the full internal key? I don't need to store actual seqnum there, but I do need to store type.

Summary:
By default the seq number in DB is increased once per written key. WritePrepared txns requires the seq to be increased once per the entire batch so that the seq would be used as the prepare timestamp by which the transaction is identified. Also we need to increase seq for the commit marker since it would give a unique id to the commit timestamp of transactions.
Two unit tests are added to verify our understanding of how the seq should be increased. The recovery path requires much more work and is left to another patch.

Summary:
Throughput: 46k tps in our sysbench settings (filling the details later)
The idea is to have the simplest change that gives us a reasonable boost
in 2PC throughput.
Major design changes:
1. The WAL file internal buffer is not flushed after each write. Instead
it is flushed before critical operations (WAL copy via fs) or when
FlushWAL is called by MySQL. Flushing the WAL buffer is also protected
via mutex_.
2. Use two sequence numbers: last seq, and last seq for write. Last seq
is the last visible sequence number for reads. Last seq for write is the
next sequence number that should be used to write to WAL/memtable. This
allows to have a memtable write be in parallel to WAL writes.
3. BatchGroup is not used for writes. This means that we can have
parallel writers which changes a major assumption in the code base. To
accommodate for that i) allow only 1 WriteImpl that intends to write to
memtable via mem_mutex_--which is fine since in 2PC almost all of the memtable writes
come via group commit phase which is serial anyway, ii) make all the
parts in the code base that assumed to be the only writer (via
EnterUnbatched) to also acquire mem_mutex_, iii) stat updates are
protected via a stat_mutex_.
Note: the first commit has the approach figured out but is not clean.
Submitting the PR anyway to get the early feedback on the approach. If
we are ok with the approach I will go ahead with this updates:
0) Rebase with Yi's pipelining changes
1) Currently batching is disabled by default to make sure that it will be
consistent with all unit tests. Will make this optional via a config.
2) A couple of unit tests are disabled. They need to be updated with the
serial commit of 2PC taken into account.
3) Replacing BatchGroup with mem_mutex_ got a bit ugly as it requires
releasing mutex_ beforehand (the same way EnterUnbatched does). This
needs to be cleaned up.

Summary:
- `max_background_flushes` and `max_background_compactions` are still supported for backwards compatibility
- `base_background_compactions` is completely deprecated. Now we just throttle to one background compaction when there's no pressure.
- `max_background_jobs` is added to automatically partition the concurrent background jobs into flushes vs compactions. Currently it's very simple as we just allocate one-fourth of the jobs to flushes, and the remaining can be used for compactions.
- The test cases that set `base_background_compactions > 1` needed to be updated. I just grab the pressure token such that the desired number of compactions can be scheduled.

Summary:
PipelineWriteImpl is an alternative approach to WriteImpl. In WriteImpl, only one thread is allow to write at the same time. This thread will do both WAL and memtable writes for all write threads in the write group. Pending writers wait in queue until the current writer finishes. In the pipeline write approach, two queue is maintained: one WAL writer queue and one memtable writer queue. All writers (regardless of whether they need to write WAL) will still need to first join the WAL writer queue, and after the house keeping work and WAL writing, they will need to join memtable writer queue if needed. The benefit of this approach is that
1. Writers without memtable writes (e.g. the prepare phase of two phase commit) can exit write thread once WAL write is finish. They don't need to wait for memtable writes in case of group commit.
2. Pending writers only need to wait for previous WAL writer finish to be able to join the write thread, instead of wait also for previous memtable writes.

Summary:
First cut for early review; there are few conceptual points to answer and some code structure issues.
For conceptual points -
- restriction-wise, we're going to disallow ingest_behind if (use_seqno_zero_out=true || disable_auto_compaction=false), the user is responsible to properly open and close DB with required params
- we wanted to ingest into reserved bottom most level. Should we fail fast if bottom level isn't empty, or should we attempt to ingest if file fits there key-ranges-wise?
- Modifying AssignLevelForIngestedFile seems the place we we'd handle that.
On code structure - going to refactor GenerateAndAddExternalFile call in the test class to allow passing instance of IngestionOptions, that's just going to incur lots of changes at callsites.
