Summary:
When there is a write stall, the active write group leader calls ```BeginWriteStall()``` to walk the queue of writers and remove any with the ```no_slowdown``` option set. There was a bug in the code which updated the back pointer but not the forward pointer (```link_newer```), corrupting the list and causing some threads to wait forever. This PR fixes it.

Summary:
When we do concurrently writes, and different write operations will have WAL enable or disable.
But the data from write operation with WAL disabled will still be logged into log files, which will lead to extra disk write/sync since we do not want any guarantee for these part of data.
Detail can be found in https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/6280. This PR avoid mixing the two types in a write group. The advantage is simpler reasoning about the write group content

The max batch size that we can write to the WAL is controlled by a static manner. So if the leader write is less than 128 KB we will have the batch size as leader write size + 128 KB else the limit will be 1 MB. Both of them are statically defined.

Summary:
There is a bug when the write queue leader is blocked on a write
delay/stop, and the queue has writers with WriteOptions::no_slowdown set
to true. They are not woken up until the write stall is cleared.
The fix introduces a dummy writer inserted at the tail to indicate a
write stall and prevent further inserts into the queue, and a condition
variable that writers who can tolerate slowdown wait on before adding
themselves to the queue. The leader calls WriteThread::BeginWriteStall()
to add the dummy writer and then walk the queue to fail any writers with
no_slowdown set. Once the stall clears, the leader calls
WriteThread::EndWriteStall() to remove the dummy writer and signal the
condition variable.

Summary:
Fix the issue when pipelined write is enabled, writers can get stuck indefinitely and not able to finish the write. It can show with the following example: Assume there are 4 writers W1, W2, W3, W4 (W1 is the first, W4 is the last).
T1: all writers pending in WAL writer queue:
WAL writer queue: W1, W2, W3, W4
memtable writer queue: empty
T2. W1 finish WAL writer and move to memtable writer queue:
WAL writer queue: W2, W3, W4,
memtable writer queue: W1
T3. W2 and W3 finish WAL write as a batch group. W2 enter ExitAsBatchGroupLeader and move the group to memtable writer queue, but before wake up next leader.
WAL writer queue: W4
memtable writer queue: W1, W2, W3
T4. W1, W2, W3 finish memtable write as a batch group. Note that W2 still in the previous ExitAsBatchGroupLeader, although W1 have done memtable write for W2.
WAL writer queue: W4
memtable writer queue: empty
T5. The thread corresponding to W3 create another writer W3' with the same address as W3.
WAL writer queue: W4, W3'
memtable writer queue: empty
T6. W2 continue with ExitAsBatchGroupLeader. Because the address of W3' is the same as W3, the last writer in its group, it thinks there are no pending writers, so it reset newest_writer_ to null, emptying the queue. W4 and W3' are deleted from the queue and will never be wake up.
The issue exists since pipelined write was introduced in 5.5.0.

DBTest.GroupCommitTest would often fail when run under valgrind because its sleeps were insufficient to guarantee a group commit had multiple entries.

Summary:
There's a group of stats in PerfContext for profiling the write path. They break down the write time into WAL write, memtable insert, throttling, and everything else. We use these stats a lot for figuring out the cause of slow writes.
These stats got a bit out of date and are now categorizing some interesting things as "everything else", and also do some double counting. This PR fixes it and adds two new stats: time spent waiting for other threads of the batch group, and time spent waiting for scheduling flushes/compactions. Probably these will be enough to explain all the occasional abnormally slow (multiple seconds) writes that we're seeing.

Fixing the bug where concurrent writes may get Status::OK while it actually gets IOError on WAL write. This happens when multiple writes form a write batch group, and the leader get an IOError while writing to WAL. The leader failed to pass the error to followers in the group, and the followers end up returning Status::OK() while actually writing nothing. The bug only affect writes in a batch group. Future writes after the batch group will correctly return immediately with the IOError.

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:
The concept about early exit in write thread implementation is a confusing one. It means that if early exit is allowed, batch group leader will not responsible to exit the batch group, but the last finished writer do. In case we need to mark log synced, or encounter memtable insert error, early exit is disallowed.
This patch remove such a concept by:
* In all cases, the last finished writer (not necessary leader) is responsible to exit batch group.
* In case of parallel memtable write, leader will also mark log synced after memtable insert and before signal finish (call `CompleteParallelWorker()`). The purpose is to allow mark log synced (which require locking mutex) can run in parallel to memtable insert in other writers.
* The last finish writer should handle memtable insert error (update bg_error_) before exiting batch group.

With this diff, the range tombstones are stored inline with the data in

data being accessible via memtable. My next step is to store range

Summary:
copy from task 8196669:
1) Optimistic transactions do not support batching writes from different threads.
2) Pessimistic transactions do not support batching writes if an expiration time is set.
In these 2 cases, we currently do not do any write batching in DBImpl::WriteImpl() because there is a WriteCallback that could decide at the last minute to abort the write. But we could support batching write operations with callbacks if we make sure to process the callbacks correctly.
To do this, we would first need to modify write_thread.cc to stop preventing writes with callbacks from being batched together. Then we would need to change DBImpl::WriteImpl() to call all WriteCallback's in a batch, only write the batches that succeed, and correctly set the state of each batch's WriteThread::Writer.
Test Plan: Added test WriteWithCallbackTest to write_callback_test.cc which creates multiple client threads and verifies that writes are batched and executed properly.

Summary:
This diff adds support for concurrent adds to the skiplist memtable
implementations. Memory allocation is made thread-safe by the addition of
a spinlock, with small per-core buffers to avoid contention. Concurrent
memtable writes are made via an additional method and don't impose a
performance overhead on the non-concurrent case, so parallelism can be
selected on a per-batch basis.
Write thread synchronization is an increasing bottleneck for higher levels
of concurrency, so this diff adds --enable_write_thread_adaptive_yield
(default off). This feature causes threads joining a write batch
group to spin for a short time (default 100 usec) using sched_yield,
rather than going to sleep on a mutex. If the timing of the yield calls
indicates that another thread has actually run during the yield then
spinning is avoided. This option improves performance for concurrent
situations even without parallel adds, although it has the potential to
increase CPU usage (and the heuristic adaptation is not yet mature).
Parallel writes are not currently compatible with
inplace updates, update callbacks, or delete filtering.
Enable it with --allow_concurrent_memtable_write (and
--enable_write_thread_adaptive_yield). Parallel memtable writes
are performance neutral when there is no actual parallelism, and in
my experiments (SSD server-class Linux and varying contention and key
sizes for fillrandom) they are always a performance win when there is
more than one thread.
Statistics are updated earlier in the write path, dropping the number
of DB mutex acquisitions from 2 to 1 for almost all cases.
This diff was motivated and inspired by Yahoo's cLSM work. It is more
conservative than cLSM: RocksDB's write batch group leader role is
preserved (along with all of the existing flush and write throttling
logic) and concurrent writers are blocked until all memtable insertions
have completed and the sequence number has been advanced, to preserve
linearizability.
My test config is "db_bench -benchmarks=fillrandom -threads=$T
-batch_size=1 -memtablerep=skip_list -value_size=100 --num=1000000/$T
-level0_slowdown_writes_trigger=9999 -level0_stop_writes_trigger=9999

-max_background_flushes=8 --disable_wal --write_buffer_size=160000000
--block_size=16384 --allow_concurrent_memtable_write" on a two-socket
Xeon E5-2660 @ 2.2Ghz with lots of memory and an SSD hard drive. With 1
thread I get ~440Kops/sec. Peak performance for 1 socket (numactl
-N1) is slightly more than 1Mops/sec, at 16 threads. Peak performance
across both sockets happens at 30 threads, and is ~900Kops/sec, although
with fewer threads there is less performance loss when the system has
background work.

Summary:
This diff allows a Writer to join the next write batch group
without acquiring any locks. Waiting is performed via a per-Writer mutex,
so all of the non-leader writers never need to acquire the db mutex.
It is now possible to join a write batch group after the leader has been
chosen but before the batch has been constructed. This diff doesn't
increase parallelism, but reduces synchronization overheads.
For some CPU-bound workloads (no WAL, RAM-sized working set) this can
substantially reduce contention on the db mutex in a multi-threaded
environment. With T=8 N=500000 in a CPU-bound scenario (see the test
plan) this is good for a 33% perf win. Not all scenarios see such a
win, but none show a loss. This code is slightly faster even for the
single-threaded case (about 2% for the CPU-bound scenario below).

The feature is really nicely implemented, but if nobody needs it, we should remove it from our code-base (until we get a valid use-case). Some arguments:
* Less code == better icache hit rate, smaller builds, simpler code
* The motivation for adding timeout_hint_us was to work-around RocksDB's stall issue. However, we're currently addressing the stall issue itself (see @sdong's recent work on stall write_rate), so we should never see sharp lock-ups in the future.
* Nobody is using the feature within Facebook's code-base. Googling for `timeout_hint_us` also doesn't yield any users.
