Summary:
The patch adds a new API `GetEntity` that can be used to perform
wide-column point lookups. It also extends the `Get` code path and
the `MemTable` / `MemTableList` and `Version` / `GetContext` logic
accordingly so that wide-column entities can be served from both
memtables and SSTs. If the result of a lookup is a wide-column entity
(`kTypeWideColumnEntity`), it is passed to the application in deserialized
form; if it is a plain old key-value (`kTypeValue`), it is presented as a
wide-column entity with a single default (anonymous) column.
(In contrast, regular `Get` returns plain old key-values as-is, and
returns the value of the default column for wide-column entities, see
https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/10483 .)
The result of `GetEntity` is a self-contained `PinnableWideColumns` object.
`PinnableWideColumns` contains a `PinnableSlice`, which either stores the
underlying data in its own buffer or holds on to a cache handle. It also contains
a `WideColumns` instance, which indexes the contents of the `PinnableSlice`,
so applications can access the values of columns efficiently.
There are several pieces of functionality which are currently not supported
for wide-column entities: there is currently no `MultiGetEntity` or wide-column
iterator; also, `Merge` and `GetMergeOperands` are not supported, and there
is no `GetEntity` implementation for read-only and secondary instances.
We plan to implement these in future PRs.

Summary:
Previously, the flushes triggered by `WriteBufferManager` could affect
the same CF repeatedly if it happens to get consecutive writes. Such
flushes are not particularly useful for reducing memory usage since
they switch nearly-empty memtables to immutable while they've just begun
filling their first arena block. In fact they may not even reduce the
mutable memory count if they involve replacing one mutable memtable containing
one arena block with a new mutable memtable containing one arena block.
Further, if such switches happen even a few times before a flush finishes,
the immutable memtable limit will be reached and writes will stall.
This PR adds a heuristic to not switch memtables to immutable for CFs
that already have one or more immutable memtables awaiting flush. There
is a memory usage regression if the user continues writing to the same
CF, that DB does not have any CFs eligible for switching, flushes
are not finishing, and the `WriteBufferManager` was constructed with
`allow_stall=false`. Before, it would grow by switching nearly empty
memtables until writes stall. Now, it would grow by filling memtables
until writes stall. This feels like an acceptable behavior change because
users who prefer to stall over violate the memory limit should be using
`allow_stall=true`, which is unaffected by this PR.

Summary:
Change the `MemPurge` code to address a failure during a crash test reported in https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/8958.
### Details and results of the crash investigation:
These failures happened in a specific scenario where the list of immutable tables was composed of 2 or more memtables, and the last memtable was the output of a previous `Mempurge` operation. Because the `PickMemtablesToFlush` function included a sorting of the memtables (previous PR related to the Mempurge project), and because the `VersionEdit` of the flush class is piggybacked onto a single one of these memtables, the `VersionEdit` was not properly selected and applied to the `VersionSet` of the DB. Since the `VersionSet` was not edited properly, the database was losing track of the SST file created during the flush process, which was subsequently deleted (and as you can expect, caused the tests to crash).
The following command consistently failed, which was quite convenient to investigate the issue:
`$ while rm -rf /dev/shm/single_stress && ./db_stress --clear_column_family_one_in=0 --column_families=1 --db=/dev/shm/single_stress --experimental_mempurge_threshold=5.493146827397074 --flush_one_in=10000 --reopen=0 --write_buffer_size=262144 --value_size_mult=33 --max_write_buffer_number=3 -ops_per_thread=10000; do : ; done`
### Solution proposed
The memtables are no longer sorted based on their `memtableID` in the `PickMemtablesToFlush` function. Additionally, the `next_log_number` of the memtable created as an output of the `Mempurge` function now takes in the correct value (the log number of the first memtable being mempurged). Finally, the VersionEdit object of the flush class now takes the maximum `next_log_number` of the stack of memtables being flushed, which doesnt change anything when Mempurge is `off` but becomes necessary when Mempurge is `on`.
### Testing of the solution
The following command no longer fails:
``$ while rm -rf /dev/shm/single_stress && ./db_stress --clear_column_family_one_in=0 --column_families=1 --db=/dev/shm/single_stress --experimental_mempurge_threshold=5.493146827397074 --flush_one_in=10000 --reopen=0 --write_buffer_size=262144 --value_size_mult=33 --max_write_buffer_number=3 -ops_per_thread=10000; do : ; done``
Additionally, I ran `db_crashtest` (`whitebox` and `blackbox`) for 2.5 hours with MemPurge on and did not observe any crash.

Summary:
Previously, the `MemPurge` sampling function was assessing whether a random entry from a memtable was garbage or not by simply querying the given memtable (see https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/8628 for more details).
In this diff, I am updating the sampling function by querying not only the memtable the entry was drawn from, but also all subsequent memtables that have a greater memtable ID.
I also added the size of the value for KV entries in the payload/useful payload estimates (which was also one of the reasons why sampling was not as good as mempurging all the time in terms of L0 SST files reduction).
Once these changes were made, I was able to clean obsolete objects and functions from the `MemtableList` struct, and did a bit of cleanup everywhere.

Summary:
Changes the API of the MemPurge process: the `bool experimental_allow_mempurge` and `experimental_mempurge_policy` flags have been replaced by a `double experimental_mempurge_threshold` option.
This change of API reflects another major change introduced in this PR: the MemPurgeDecider() function now works by sampling the memtables being flushed to estimate the overall amount of useful payload (payload minus the garbage), and then compare this useful payload estimate with the `double experimental_mempurge_threshold` value.
Therefore, when the value of this flag is `0.0` (default value), mempurge is simply deactivated. On the other hand, a value of `DBL_MAX` would be equivalent to always going through a mempurge regardless of the garbage ratio estimate.
At the moment, a `double experimental_mempurge_threshold` value else than 0.0 or `DBL_MAX` is opnly supported`with the `SkipList` memtable representation.
Regarding the sampling, this PR includes the introduction of a `MemTable::UniqueRandomSample` function that collects (approximately) random entries from the memtable by using the new `SkipList::Iterator::RandomSeek()` under the hood, or by iterating through each memtable entry, depending on the target sample size and the total number of entries.
The unit tests have been readapted to support this new API.

Summary:
The db_stress crash was caused by a call to `IsFlushPending()` made by a stats function which triggered an `assert([false])`, which I didn't plan when I created the `trigger_flush` bool. It turns out that this bool variable is not useful: I created it because I thought the `imm_flush_needed` atomic bool would actually trigger a flush.
It turns out that this bool is only checked in `IsFlushPending` - this is its only use - and a flush is triggered by either a background thread checking on the imm array, or by an explicit call to `SchedulePendingFlush` which creates a flush request, that is then added to a flush request queue.
In this PR, I reverted the MemtableList::Add function to what it was before my changes.
I tested the fix by running the exact command line that deterministically triggered the assert error (see below), which confirmed that this is where the error was coming from.
I also run `db_crashtest.py whitebox` and `blackbox` for a couple hours locally before committing this PR.

Summary:
Add `experimental_mempurge_policy` option flag and introduce two new `MemPurge` (Memtable Garbage Collection) policies: 'ALWAYS' and 'ALTERNATE'. Default value: ALTERNATE.
`ALWAYS`: every flush will first go through a `MemPurge` process. If the output is too big to fit into a single memtable, then the mempurge is aborted and a regular flush process carries on. `ALWAYS` is designed for user that need to reduce the number of L0 SST file created to a strict minimum, and can afford a small dent in performance (possibly hits to CPU usage, read efficiency, and maximum burst write throughput).
`ALTERNATE`: a flush is transformed into a `MemPurge` except if one of the memtables being flushed is the product of a previous `MemPurge`. `ALTERNATE` is a good tradeoff between reduction in number of L0 SST files created and performance. `ALTERNATE` perform particularly well for completely random garbage ratios, or garbage ratios anywhere in (0%,50%], and even higher when there is a wild variability in garbage ratios.
This PR also includes support for `experimental_mempurge_policy` in `db_bench`.
Testing was done locally by replacing all the `MemPurge` policies of the unit tests with `ALTERNATE`, as well as local testing with `db_crashtest.py` `whitebox` and `blackbox`. Overall, if an `ALWAYS` mempurge policy passes the tests, there is no reasons why an `ALTERNATE` policy would fail, and therefore the mempurge policy was set to `ALWAYS` for all mempurge unit tests.

Summary:
The main challenge to make the memtable garbage collection prototype (nicknamed `mempurge`) was to not get rid of WAL files that contain unflushed (but mempurged) data. That was successfully guaranteed by not writing the VersionEdit to the MANIFEST file after a successful mempurge.
By not writing VersionEdits to the `MANIFEST` file after a succesful mempurge operation, we do not change the earliest log file number that contains unflushed data: `cfd->GetLogNumber()` (`cfd->SetLogNumber()` is only called in `VersionSet::ProcessManifestWrites`). As a result, a number of functions introduced earlier just for the mempurge operation are not obscolete/redundant. (e.g.: `FlushJob::ExtractEarliestLogFileNumber`), and this PR aims at cleaning up all these now-unnecessary functions. In particular, we no longer need to store the earliest log file number in the `MemTable` struct itself. This PR therefore also reverts the `MemTable` struct to its original form.

Summary:
In this PR, `mempurge` is made compatible with the Write Ahead Log: in case of recovery, the DB is now capable of recovering the data that was "mempurged" and kept in the `imm()` list of immutable memtables.
The twist was to add a uint64_t to the `memtable` struct to store the number of the earliest log file containing entries from the `memtable`. When a `Flush` operation is replaced with a `MemPurge`, the `VersionEdit` (which usually contains the new min log file number to pick up for recovery and the level 0 file path of the newly created SST file) is no longer appended to the manifest log, and every time the `deleteWal` method is called, a check is made on the list of immutable memtables.
This PR also includes a unit test that verifies that no data is lost upon Reopening of the database when the mempurge feature is activated. This extensive unit test includes two column families, with valid data contained in the imm() at time of "crash"/reopening (recovery).

Summary:
In https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/8454, I introduced a new process baptized `MemPurge` (memtable garbage collection). This new PR is built upon this past mempurge prototype.
In this PR, I made the `mempurge` process a background task, which provides superior performance since the mempurge process does not cling on the db_mutex anymore, and addresses severe restrictions from the past iteration (including a scenario where the past mempurge was failling, when a memtable was mempurged but was still referred to by an iterator/snapshot/...).
Now the mempurge process ressembles an in-memory compaction process: the stack of immutable memtables is filtered out, and the useful payload is used to populate an output memtable. If the output memtable is filled at more than 60% capacity (arbitrary heuristic) the mempurge process is aborted and a regular flush process takes place, else the output memtable is kept in the immutable memtable stack. Note that adding this output memtable to the `imm()` memtable stack does not trigger another flush process, so that the flush thread can go to sleep at the end of a successful mempurge.
MemPurge is activated by making the `experimental_allow_mempurge` flag `true`. When activated, the `MemPurge` process will always happen when the flush reason is `kWriteBufferFull`.
The 3 unit tests confirm that this process supports `Put`, `Get`, `Delete`, `DeleteRange` operators and is compatible with `Iterators` and `CompactionFilters`.

Summary:
The patch adds initial support for reading blobs to the batched `MultiGet` API.
The current implementation simply retrieves the blob values as the blob indexes
are encountered; that is, reads from blob files are currently not batched. (This
will be optimized in a separate phase.) In addition, the patch removes some dead
code related to BlobDB from the batched `MultiGet` implementation, namely the
`is_blob` / `is_blob_index` flags that are passed around in `DBImpl` and `MemTable` /
`MemTableListVersion`. These were never hooked up to anything and wouldn't
work anyways, since a single flag is not sufficient to communicate the "blobness"
of multiple key-values.

- atomic flush is disabled.
- a column family can appear multiple times in the flush queue at the same time. This behavior was introduced in release 5.17.
Consequently, it is possible that two flushes race with each other. One bg flush thread flushes all memtables. The other thread calls `FlushMemTableToOutputFile()` afterwards, and hits the assertion error below.
```
assert(cfd->imm()->NumNotFlushed() != 0);
assert(cfd->imm()->IsFlushPending());
```
Fix this by reverting the behavior. In non-atomic-flush case, a column family can appear in the flush queue at most once at the same time.

Summary:
Currently, the following interleaving of events can lead to SuperVersion containing both immutable memtables as well as the resulting L0. This can cause Get to return incorrect result if there are merge operands. This may also affect other operations such as single deletes.

```
The reason behind is that: one bg flush thread's installing new `Version` can be batched and performed by another thread that is the "leader" MANIFEST writer. This bg thread removes the memtables from current super version only after `LogAndApply` returns. After the leader MANIFEST writer signals (releasing mutex) this bg flush thread, it is possible that another thread sees this cf with both memtables (whose data have been flushed to the newest L0) and the L0 before this bg flush thread removes the memtables.
To address this issue, each bg flush thread can pass a callback function to `LogAndApply`. The callback is responsible for removing the memtables. Therefore, the leader MANIFEST writer can call this callback and remove the memtables before releasing the mutex.

Summary:
When a memtable is trimmed in MemTableListVersion, the memtable
is only added to delete list if it is
the last reference. However it is not the last reference as it is held
by the super version. But the super version would not be switched if the
delete list is empty. So the memtable is never destroyed and memory
usage increases beyond write_buffer_size +
max_write_buffer_size_to_maintain.

Summary:
In the current code base, we use Status to get and store the returned status from the call. Specifically, for IO related functions, the current Status cannot reflect the IO Error details such as error scope, error retryable attribute, and others. With the implementation of https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/5761, we have the new Wrapper for IO, which returns IOStatus instead of Status. However, the IOStatus is purged at the lower level of write path and transferred to Status.
The first job of this PR is to pass the IOStatus to the write path (flush, WAL write, and Compaction). The second job is to identify the Retryable IO Error as HardError, and set the bg_error_ as HardError. In this case, the DB Instance becomes read only. User is informed of the Status and need to take actions to deal with it (e.g., call db->Resume()).

https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/6177 introduced a data race
involving `MemTableList::InstallNewVersion` and `MemTableList::NumFlushed`.
The patch fixes this by caching whether the current version has any
memtable history (i.e. flushed memtables that are kept around for
transaction conflict checking) in an `std::atomic<bool>` member called
`current_has_history_`, similarly to how `current_memory_usage_excluding_last_`
is handled.

Summary:
RocksDB has a MultiGet() API that implements batched key lookup for higher performance (https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/blob/master/include/rocksdb/db.h#L468). Currently, batching is implemented in BlockBasedTableReader::MultiGet() for SST file lookups. One of the ways it improves performance is by pipelining bloom filter lookups (by prefetching required cachelines for all the keys in the batch, and then doing the probe) and thus hiding the cache miss latency. The same concept can be extended to the memtable as well. This PR involves implementing a pipelined bloom filter lookup in DynamicBloom, and implementing MemTable::MultiGet() that can leverage it.

Summary:
MyRocks currently sets `max_write_buffer_number_to_maintain` in order to maintain enough history for transaction conflict checking. The effectiveness of this approach depends on the size of memtables. When memtables are small, it may not keep enough history; when memtables are large, this may consume too much memory.
We are proposing a new way to configure memtable list history: by limiting the memory usage of immutable memtables. The new option is `max_write_buffer_size_to_maintain` and it will take precedence over the old `max_write_buffer_number_to_maintain` if they are both set to non-zero values. The new option accounts for the total memory usage of flushed immutable memtables and mutable memtable. When the total usage exceeds the limit, RocksDB may start dropping immutable memtables (which is also called trimming history), starting from the oldest one.
The semantics of the old option actually works both as an upper bound and lower bound. History trimming will start if number of immutable memtables exceeds the limit, but it will never go below (limit-1) due to history trimming.
In order the mimic the behavior with the new option, history trimming will stop if dropping the next immutable memtable causes the total memory usage go below the size limit. For example, assuming the size limit is set to 64MB, and there are 3 immutable memtables with sizes of 20, 30, 30. Although the total memory usage is 80MB > 64MB, dropping the oldest memtable will reduce the memory usage to 60MB < 64MB, so in this case no memtable will be dropped.

Summary:
This is a new API added to db.h to allow for fetching all merge operands associated with a Key. The main motivation for this API is to support use cases where doing a full online merge is not necessary as it is performance sensitive. Example use-cases:
1. Update subset of columns and read subset of columns -
Imagine a SQL Table, a row is encoded as a K/V pair (as it is done in MyRocks). If there are many columns and users only updated one of them, we can use merge operator to reduce write amplification. While users only read one or two columns in the read query, this feature can avoid a full merging of the whole row, and save some CPU.
2. Updating very few attributes in a value which is a JSON-like document -
Updating one attribute can be done efficiently using merge operator, while reading back one attribute can be done more efficiently if we don't need to do a full merge.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
API :
Status GetMergeOperands(
const ReadOptions& options, ColumnFamilyHandle* column_family,
const Slice& key, PinnableSlice* merge_operands,
GetMergeOperandsOptions* get_merge_operands_options,
int* number_of_operands)
Example usage :
int size = 100;
int number_of_operands = 0;
std::vector<PinnableSlice> values(size);
GetMergeOperandsOptions merge_operands_info;
db_->GetMergeOperands(ReadOptions(), db_->DefaultColumnFamily(), "k1", values.data(), merge_operands_info, &number_of_operands);
Description :
Returns all the merge operands corresponding to the key. If the number of merge operands in DB is greater than merge_operands_options.expected_max_number_of_operands no merge operands are returned and status is Incomplete. Merge operands returned are in the order of insertion.
merge_operands-> Points to an array of at-least merge_operands_options.expected_max_number_of_operands and the caller is responsible for allocating it. If the status returned is Incomplete then number_of_operands will contain the total number of merge operands found in DB for key.

Summary:
RocksDB secondary can replay both MANIFEST and WAL now.
On the one hand, the memory usage by memtables will grow after replaying WAL for sometime. On the other hand, replaying the MANIFEST can bring the database persistent data to a more recent point in time, giving us the opportunity to discard some memtables containing out-dated data.
This PR coordinates the MANIFEST and WAL replay, using the updates from MANIFEST replay to update the active memtable and immutable memtable list of each column family.

Summary:
1. this commit fixes our handling of a combination of two separate edge
cases. If a flush job does not pick any memtable to flush (because another
flush job has already picked the same memtables), and the column family
assigned to the flush job is dropped right before RocksDB calls
rocksdb::InstallMemtableAtomicFlushResults, our original code passes
a FileMetaData object whose file number is 0, failing the assertion in
rocksdb::InstallMemtableAtomicFlushResults (assert(m->GetFileNumber() > 0)).
2. Also piggyback a small change: since we already create a local copy of column family's mutable CF options to eliminate potential race condition with `SetOptions` call, we might as well use the local copy in other function calls in the same scope.

Since different bg flush threads can flush different sets of column families

perform atomic flush result installation for other threads. Bg flush threads
will install their atomic flush results sequentially to MANIFEST, using

in each iterator to find a covering tombstone in ShouldDelete, while
doing minimal work in AddTombstones. The old RangeDelAggregator is still
used during flush/compaction for now, though RangeDelAggregatorV2 will
support those uses in a future PR.

Summary:
Previously, range tombstones were accumulated from every level, which
was necessary if a range tombstone in a higher level covered a key in a lower
level. However, RangeDelAggregator::AddTombstones's complexity is based on
the number of tombstones that are currently stored in it, which is wasteful in
the Get case, where we only need to know the highest sequence number of range
tombstones that cover the key from higher levels, and compute the highest covering
sequence number at the current level. This change introduces this optimization, and
removes the use of RangeDelAggregator from the Get path.
In the benchmark results, the following command was used to initialize the database:
```
./db_bench -db=/dev/shm/5k-rts -use_existing_db=false -benchmarks=filluniquerandom -write_buffer_size=1048576 -compression_type=lz4 -target_file_size_base=1048576 -max_bytes_for_level_base=4194304 -value_size=112 -key_size=16 -block_size=4096 -level_compaction_dynamic_level_bytes=true -num=5000000 -max_background_jobs=12 -benchmark_write_rate_limit=20971520 -range_tombstone_width=100 -writes_per_range_tombstone=100 -max_num_range_tombstones=50000 -bloom_bits=8
```
...and the following command was used to measure read throughput:
```
./db_bench -db=/dev/shm/5k-rts/ -use_existing_db=true -benchmarks=readrandom -disable_auto_compactions=true -num=5000000 -reads=100000 -threads=32
```
The filluniquerandom command was only run once, and the resulting database was used
to measure read performance before and after the PR. Both binaries were compiled with
`DEBUG_LEVEL=0`.
Readrandom results before PR:
```
readrandom : 4.544 micros/op 220090 ops/sec; 16.9 MB/s (63103 of 100000 found)
```
Readrandom results after PR:
```
readrandom : 11.147 micros/op 89707 ops/sec; 6.9 MB/s (63103 of 100000 found)
```
So it's actually slower right now, but this PR paves the way for future optimizations (see #4493).

Summary:
This patch record min log number to keep to the manifest while flushing SST files to ignore them and any WAL older than them during recovery. This is to avoid scenarios when we have a gap between the WAL files are fed to the recovery procedure. The gap could happen by for example out-of-order WAL deletion. Such gap could cause problems in 2PC recovery where the prepared and commit entry are placed into two separate WAL and gap in the WALs could result into not processing the WAL with the commit entry and hence breaking the 2PC recovery logic.
Before the commit, for 2PC case, we determined which log number to keep in FindObsoleteFiles(). We looked at the earliest logs with outstanding prepare entries, or prepare entries whose respective commit or abort are in memtable. With the commit, the same calculation is done while we apply the SST flush. Just before installing the flush file, we precompute the earliest log file to keep after the flush finishes using the same logic (but skipping the memtables just flushed), record this information to the manifest entry for this new flushed SST file. This pre-computed value is also remembered in memory, and will later be used to determine whether a log file can be deleted. This value is unlikely to change until next flush because the commit entry will stay in memtable. (In WritePrepared, we could have removed the older log files as soon as all prepared entries are committed. It's not yet done anyway. Even if we do it, the only thing we loss with this new approach is earlier log deletion between two flushes, which does not guarantee to happen anyway because the obsolete file clean-up function is only executed after flush or compaction)
This min log number to keep is stored in the manifest using the safely-ignore customized field of AddFile entry, in order to guarantee that the DB generated using newer release can be opened by previous releases no older than 4.2.

Summary:
Flush() call could be waiting indefinitely if min_write_buffer_number_to_merge is used. Consider the sequence:
1. User call Flush() with flush_options.wait = true
2. The manual flush started in the background
3. New memtable become immutable because of writes. The new memtable will not trigger flush if min_write_buffer_number_to_merge is not reached.
4. The manual flush finish.
Because of the new memtable created at step 3 not being flush, previous logic of WaitForFlushMemTable() keep waiting, despite the memtables it intent to flush has been flushed.
Here instead of checking if there are any more memtables to flush, WaitForFlushMemTable() also check the id of the earliest memtable. If the id is larger than that of latest memtable at the time flush was initiated, it means all the memtable at the time of flush start has all been flush.

2. Make rocksdb able to detect if the db contains value written by blob db, if so return error.
3. Make it possible to have blob db optionally store value in SST file (with kTypeValue type) or as a blob value (with kTypeBlobIndex type).
The root db (DBImpl) basically pretended kTypeBlobIndex are normal value on write. On Get if is_blob is provided, return whether the value read is of kTypeBlobIndex type, or return Status::NotSupported() status if is_blob is not provided. On scan allow_blob flag is pass and if the flag is true, return wether the value is of kTypeBlobIndex type via iter->IsBlob().
Changes on blob db side will be in a separate patch.
