Summary:
Instead of locking and saving a DB state, we can cache a DB state and update it only when it changes. This change reduces lock contention and speeds up read operations on the DB.
Performance improvements are substantial, although there is some cost in no-read workloads. I ran the regression tests on my devserver and here are the numbers:
overwrite 56345 -> 63001
fillseq 193730 -> 185296
readrandom 771301 -> 1219803 (58% improvement!)
readrandom_smallblockcache 677609 -> 862850
readrandom_memtable_sst 710440 -> 1109223
readrandom_fillunique_random 221589 -> 247869
memtablefillrandom 105286 -> 92643
memtablereadrandom 763033 -> 1288862

Summary:
For some tests I want to cache the database prior to running other tests on the same invocation
of db_bench. The readtocache test ignores --threads and --reads so those can be used by other tests
and it will still do a full read of --num rows with one thread. It might be invoked like:
db_bench --benchmarks=readtocache,readrandom --reads 100 --num 10000 --threads 8

db_test should be the first to execute because it finds the most bugs.
Also, when third parties report issues, we don't want ldb error message, we prefer to have db_test error message. For example, see thread: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/25

Summary: It seems to be a decision tradeoff in current codes: we make a malloc for every Get() to reduce one malloc for a flush inside mutex. It takes about 5% of CPU time in readrandom tests. We might consider the tradeoff to be the other way around.

Mark, any idea why this is so much faster than your measurements?

creating new iterators of mem tables can be expensive. Move them out of mutex.
DBImpl::WriteLevel0Table()'s mems seems to be a local vector and is only used by flushing. memtables to flush are also immutable, so it should be safe to do so.

Summary:
In this diff I present you BackupableDB v1. You can easily use it to backup your DB and it will do incremental snapshots for you.
Let's first describe how you would use BackupableDB. It's inheriting StackableDB interface so you can easily construct it with your DB object -- it will add a method RollTheSnapshot() to the DB object. When you call RollTheSnapshot(), current snapshot of the DB will be stored in the backup dir. To restore, you can just call RestoreDBFromBackup() on a BackupableDB (which is a static method) and it will restore all files from the backup dir. In the next version, it will even support automatic backuping every X minutes.
There are multiple things you can configure:
1. backup_env and db_env can be different, which is awesome because then you can easily backup to HDFS or wherever you feel like.
2. sync - if true, it *guarantees* backup consistency on machine reboot
3. number of snapshots to keep - this will keep last N snapshots around if you want, for some reason, be able to restore from an earlier snapshot. All the backuping is done in incremental fashion - if we already have 00010.sst, we will not copy it again. *IMPORTANT* -- This is based on assumption that 00010.sst never changes - two files named 00010.sst from the same DB will always be exactly the same. Is this true? I always copy manifest, current and log files.
4. You can decide if you want to flush the memtables before you backup, or you're fine with backing up the log files -- either way, you get a complete and consistent view of the database at a time of backup.
5. More things you can find in BackupableDBOptions
Here is the directory structure I use:
backup_dir/CURRENT_SNAPSHOT - just 4 bytes holding the latest snapshot
0, 1, 2, ... - files containing serialized version of each snapshot - containing a list of files
files/*.sst - sst files shared between snapshots - if one snapshot references 00010.sst and another one needs to backup it from the DB, it will just reference the same file
files/ 0/, 1/, 2/, ... - snapshot directories containing private snapshot files - current, manifest and log files
All the files are ref counted and deleted immediatelly when they get out of scope.
Some other stuff in this diff:
1. Added GetEnv() method to the DB. Discussed with @haobo and we agreed that it seems right thing to do.
2. Fixed StackableDB interface. The way it was set up before, I was not able to implement BackupableDB.
Test Plan:
I have a unittest, but please don't look at this yet. I just hacked it up to help me with debugging. I will write a lot of good tests and update the diff.
Also, `make asan_check`

google::FlagRegisterer::FlagRegisterer. It would seem that -lgflags was
missing from the build script.
Summary:
Let's get rid of TransformRep and it's children. We have confirmed that HashSkipListRep works better with multifeed, so there is no benefit to keeping this around.
This diff is mostly just deleting references to obsoleted functions. I also have a diff for fbcode that we'll need to push when we switch to new release.
I had to expose HashSkipListRepFactory in the client header files because db_impl.cc needs access to GetTransform() function for SanitizeOptions.
