Peter Dillinger	e466173d5c	Print stack traces on frozen tests in CI (#10828 ) Summary: Instead of existing calls to ps from gnu_parallel, call a new wrapper that does ps, looks for unit test like processes, and uses pstack or gdb to print thread stack traces. Also, using `ps -wwf` instead of `ps -wf` ensures output is not cut off. For security, CircleCI runs with security restrictions on ptrace (/proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope = 1), and this change adds a work-around to `InstallStackTraceHandler()` (only used by testing tools) to allow any process from the same user to debug it. (I've also touched >100 files to ensure all the unit tests call this function.)

Yanqin Jin	832fd644fc	Reset pessimistic transaction's read/commit timestamps during Initialize() (#10677 ) Summary: RocksDB allows reusing old `Transaction` objects when creating new ones. Therefore, we need to reset the transaction's read and commit timestamps back to default values `kMaxTxnTimestamp`. Otherwise, `CommitAndTryCreateSnapshot()` may fail with "Status::InvalidArgument("Different commit ts specified")".

Yanqin Jin	1777e5f7e9	Snapshots with user-specified timestamps (#9879 ) Summary: In RocksDB, keys are associated with (internal) sequence numbers which denote when the keys are written to the database. Sequence numbers in different RocksDB instances are unrelated, thus not comparable. It is nice if we can associate sequence numbers with their corresponding actual timestamps. One thing we can do is to support user-defined timestamp, which allows the applications to specify the format of custom timestamps and encode a timestamp with each key. More details can be found at https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/User-defined-Timestamp-%28Experimental%29. This PR provides a different but complementary approach. We can associate rocksdb snapshots (defined in https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/blob/7.2.fb/include/rocksdb/snapshot.h#L20) with user-specified timestamps. Since a snapshot is essentially an object representing a sequence number, this PR establishes a bi-directional mapping between sequence numbers and timestamps. In the past, snapshots are usually taken by readers. The current super-version is grabbed, and a `rocksdb::Snapshot` object is created with the last published sequence number of the super-version. You can see that the reader actually has no good idea of what timestamp to assign to this snapshot, because by the time the `GetSnapshot()` is called, an arbitrarily long period of time may have already elapsed since the last write, which is when the last published sequence number is written. This observation motivates the creation of "timestamped" snapshots on the write path. Currently, this functionality is exposed only to the layer of `TransactionDB`. Application can tell RocksDB to create a snapshot when a transaction commits, effectively associating the last sequence number with a timestamp. It is also assumed that application will ensure any two snapshots with timestamps should satisfy the following: ``` snapshot1.seq < snapshot2.seq iff. snapshot1.ts < snapshot2.ts ``` If the application can guarantee that when a reader takes a timestamped snapshot, there is no active writes going on in the database, then we also allow the user to use a new API `TransactionDB::CreateTimestampedSnapshot()` to create a snapshot with associated timestamp. Code example ```cpp // Create a timestamped snapshot when committing transaction. txn->SetCommitTimestamp(100); txn->SetSnapshotOnNextOperation(); txn->Commit(); // A wrapper API for convenience Status Transaction::CommitAndTryCreateSnapshot( std::shared_ptr<TransactionNotifier> notifier, TxnTimestamp ts, std::shared_ptr<const Snapshot>* ret); // Create a timestamped snapshot if caller guarantees no concurrent writes std::pair<Status, std::shared_ptr<const Snapshot>> snapshot = txn_db->CreateTimestampedSnapshot(100); ``` The snapshots created in this way will be managed by RocksDB with ref-counting and potentially shared with other readers. We provide the following APIs for readers to retrieve a snapshot given a timestamp. ```cpp // Return the timestamped snapshot correponding to given timestamp. If ts is // kMaxTxnTimestamp, then we return the latest timestamped snapshot if present. // Othersise, we return the snapshot whose timestamp is equal to `ts`. If no // such snapshot exists, then we return null. std::shared_ptr<const Snapshot> TransactionDB::GetTimestampedSnapshot(TxnTimestamp ts) const; // Return the latest timestamped snapshot if present. std::shared_ptr<const Snapshot> TransactionDB::GetLatestTimestampedSnapshot() const; ``` We also provide two additional APIs for stats collection and reporting purposes. ```cpp Status TransactionDB::GetAllTimestampedSnapshots( std::vector<std::shared_ptr<const Snapshot>>& snapshots) const; // Return timestamped snapshots whose timestamps fall in [ts_lb, ts_ub) and store them in `snapshots`. Status TransactionDB::GetTimestampedSnapshots( TxnTimestamp ts_lb, TxnTimestamp ts_ub, std::vector<std::shared_ptr<const Snapshot>>& snapshots) const; ``` To prevent the number of timestamped snapshots from growing infinitely, we provide the following API to release timestamped snapshots whose timestamps are older than or equal to a given threshold. ```cpp void TransactionDB::ReleaseTimestampedSnapshotsOlderThan(TxnTimestamp ts); ``` Before shutdown, RocksDB will release all timestamped snapshots. Comparison with user-defined timestamp and how they can be combined: User-defined timestamp persists every key with a timestamp, while timestamped snapshots maintain a volatile mapping between snapshots (sequence numbers) and timestamps. Different internal keys with the same user key but different timestamps will be treated as different by compaction, thus a newer version will not hide older versions (with smaller timestamps) unless they are eligible for garbage collection. In contrast, taking a timestamped snapshot at a certain sequence number and timestamp prevents all the keys visible in this snapshot from been dropped by compaction. Here, visible means (seq < snapshot and most recent). The timestamped snapshot supports the semantics of reading at an exact point in time. Timestamped snapshots can also be used with user-defined timestamp.

Snapshots with user-specified timestamps (#9879 )

Summary:
In RocksDB, keys are associated with (internal) sequence numbers which denote when the keys are written
to the database. Sequence numbers in different RocksDB instances are unrelated, thus not comparable.

It is nice if we can associate sequence numbers with their corresponding actual timestamps. One thing we can
do is to support user-defined timestamp, which allows the applications to specify the format of custom timestamps
and encode a timestamp with each key. More details can be found at https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/User-defined-Timestamp-%28Experimental%29.

This PR provides a different but complementary approach. We can associate rocksdb snapshots (defined in
https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/blob/7.2.fb/include/rocksdb/snapshot.h#L20) with **user-specified** timestamps.
Since a snapshot is essentially an object representing a sequence number, this PR establishes a bi-directional mapping between sequence numbers and timestamps.

In the past, snapshots are usually taken by readers. The current super-version is grabbed, and a `rocksdb::Snapshot`
object is created with the last published sequence number of the super-version. You can see that the reader actually
has no good idea of what timestamp to assign to this snapshot, because by the time the `GetSnapshot()` is called,
an arbitrarily long period of time may have already elapsed since the last write, which is when the last published
sequence number is written.

This observation motivates the creation of "timestamped" snapshots on the write path. Currently, this functionality is
exposed only to the layer of `TransactionDB`. Application can tell RocksDB to create a snapshot when a transaction
commits, effectively associating the last sequence number with a timestamp. It is also assumed that application will
ensure any two snapshots with timestamps should satisfy the following:
```
snapshot1.seq < snapshot2.seq iff. snapshot1.ts < snapshot2.ts
```

If the application can guarantee that when a reader takes a timestamped snapshot, there is no active writes going on
in the database, then we also allow the user to use a new API `TransactionDB::CreateTimestampedSnapshot()` to create
a snapshot with associated timestamp.

Code example
```cpp
// Create a timestamped snapshot when committing transaction.
txn->SetCommitTimestamp(100);
txn->SetSnapshotOnNextOperation();
txn->Commit();

// A wrapper API for convenience
Status Transaction::CommitAndTryCreateSnapshot(
    std::shared_ptr<TransactionNotifier> notifier,
    TxnTimestamp ts,
    std::shared_ptr<const Snapshot>* ret);

// Create a timestamped snapshot if caller guarantees no concurrent writes
std::pair<Status, std::shared_ptr<const Snapshot>> snapshot = txn_db->CreateTimestampedSnapshot(100);
```

The snapshots created in this way will be managed by RocksDB with ref-counting and potentially shared with
other readers. We provide the following APIs for readers to retrieve a snapshot given a timestamp.
```cpp
// Return the timestamped snapshot correponding to given timestamp. If ts is
// kMaxTxnTimestamp, then we return the latest timestamped snapshot if present.
// Othersise, we return the snapshot whose timestamp is equal to `ts`. If no
// such snapshot exists, then we return null.
std::shared_ptr<const Snapshot> TransactionDB::GetTimestampedSnapshot(TxnTimestamp ts) const;
// Return the latest timestamped snapshot if present.
std::shared_ptr<const Snapshot> TransactionDB::GetLatestTimestampedSnapshot() const;
```

We also provide two additional APIs for stats collection and reporting purposes.

```cpp
Status TransactionDB::GetAllTimestampedSnapshots(
    std::vector<std::shared_ptr<const Snapshot>>& snapshots) const;
// Return timestamped snapshots whose timestamps fall in [ts_lb, ts_ub) and store them in `snapshots`.
Status TransactionDB::GetTimestampedSnapshots(
    TxnTimestamp ts_lb,
    TxnTimestamp ts_ub,
    std::vector<std::shared_ptr<const Snapshot>>& snapshots) const;
```

To prevent the number of timestamped snapshots from growing infinitely, we provide the following API to release
timestamped snapshots whose timestamps are older than or equal to a given threshold.
```cpp
void TransactionDB::ReleaseTimestampedSnapshotsOlderThan(TxnTimestamp ts);
```

Before shutdown, RocksDB will release all timestamped snapshots.

Comparison with user-defined timestamp and how they can be combined:
User-defined timestamp persists every key with a timestamp, while timestamped snapshots maintain a volatile
mapping between snapshots (sequence numbers) and timestamps.
Different internal keys with the same user key but different timestamps will be treated as different by compaction,
thus a newer version will not hide older versions (with smaller timestamps) unless they are eligible for garbage collection.
In contrast, taking a timestamped snapshot at a certain sequence number and timestamp prevents all the keys visible in
this snapshot from been dropped by compaction. Here, visible means (seq < snapshot and most recent).
The timestamped snapshot supports the semantics of reading at an exact point in time.

Timestamped snapshots can also be used with user-defined timestamp.
