Summary:
RocksDB has historically stored uncompression dictionary objects in the block
cache as opposed to storing just the block contents. This neccesitated
evicting the object upon table close. With the new code, only the raw blocks
are stored in the cache, eliminating the need for eviction.
In addition, the patch makes the following improvements:
1) Compression dictionary blocks are now prefetched/pinned similarly to
index/filter blocks.
2) A copy operation got eliminated when the uncompression dictionary is
retrieved.
3) Errors related to retrieving the uncompression dictionary are propagated as
opposed to silently ignored.
Note: the patch temporarily breaks the compression dictionary evicition stats.
They will be fixed in a separate phase.
