Summary:
Windows does not have LD_PRELOAD mechanism to override all memory allocation functions and ZSTD makes use of C-tuntime calloc. During flushes and compactions default system allocator fragments and the system slows down considerably.
For builds with jemalloc we employ an advanced ZSTD context creation API that re-directs memory allocation to jemalloc. To reduce the cost of context creation on each block we cache ZSTD context within the block based table builder while a new SST file is being built, this will help all platform builds including those w/o jemalloc. This avoids system allocator fragmentation and improves the performance.
The change does not address random reads and currently on Windows reads with ZSTD regress as compared with SNAPPY compression.

Summary:
For iterator reads, a `SuperVersion` is pinned to preserve a snapshot of SST files, and `Block`s are pinned to allow `key()` and `value()` to return pointers directly into a RocksDB memory region. This works for both non-mmap reads, where the block owns the memory region, and mmap reads, where the file owns the memory region.
For point reads with `PinnableSlice`, only the `Block` object is pinned. This works for non-mmap reads because the block owns the memory region, so even if the file is deleted after compaction, the memory region survives. However, for mmap reads, file deletion causes the memory region to which the `PinnableSlice` refers to be unmapped. The result is usually a segfault upon accessing the `PinnableSlice`, although sometimes it returned wrong results (I repro'd this a bunch of times with `db_stress`).
This PR copies the value into the `PinnableSlice` when it comes from mmap'd memory. We can tell whether the `Block` owns its memory using `Block::cachable()`, which is unset when reads do not use the provided buffer as is the case with mmap file reads. When that is false we ensure the result of `Get()` is copied.
This feels like a short-term solution as ideally we'd have the `PinnableSlice` pin the mmap'd memory so we can do zero-copy reads. It seemed hard so I chose this approach to fix correctness in the meantime.

Summary:
Index blocks have the same format as data blocks. The keys therefore similarly to the keys in the data blocks are internal keys, which means that in addition to the user key it also has 8 bytes that encodes sequence number and value type. This extra 8 bytes however is not necessary in index blocks since the index keys act as an separator between two data blocks. The only exception is when the last key of a block and the first key of the next block share the same user key, in which the sequence number is required to act as a separator.
The patch excludes the sequence from index keys only if the above special case does not happen for any of the index keys. It then records that in the property block. The reader looks at the property block to see if it should expect sequence numbers in the keys of the index block.s

Summary:
Please refer to earlier discussion in [issue 3609](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/3609).
There was also an alternative fix in [PR 3888](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/3888), but the proposed solution requires complex change.
To summarize the cause of the problem. Upon creation of a column family, a `BlockBasedTableFactory` object is `new`ed and encapsulated by a `std::shared_ptr`. Since there is no other `std::shared_ptr` pointing to this `BlockBasedTableFactory`, when the column family is dropped, the `ColumnFamilyData` is `delete`d, causing the destructor of `std::shared_ptr`. Since there is no other `std::shared_ptr`, the underlying memory is also freed.
Later when the db exits, it releases all the table readers, including the table readers that have been operating on the dropped column family. This needs to access the `table_options` owned by `BlockBasedTableFactory` that has already been deleted. Therefore, a segfault is raised.
Previous workaround is to purge all obsolete files upon `ColumnFamilyData` destruction, which leads to a force release of table readers of the dropped column family. However this does not work when the user disables file deletion.
Our solution in this PR is making a copy of `table_options` in `BlockBasedTable::Rep`. This solution increases memory copy and usage, but is much simpler.
Test plan
```
$ make -j16
$ ./column_family_test --gtest_filter=ColumnFamilyTest.CreateDropAndDestroy:ColumnFamilyTest.CreateDropAndDestroyWithoutFileDeletion
```
Expected behavior:
All tests should pass.

Summary:
`RangeDelAggregator` holds the pointers returned by `BlockIter::key()` and `BlockIter::value()` so requires the data to which they point is pinned. `BlockIter::key()` points into block memory and is guaranteed to be pinned if and only if prefix encoding is disabled (or, equivalently, restart interval is set to one). I think `BlockIter::value()` is always pinned. Added an assert for these and removed the wrong TODO about increasing restart interval, which would enable key prefix encoding and break the assertion.

Summary:
Before this PR, Iterator/InternalIterator may simultaneously have non-ok status() and Valid() = true. That state means that the last operation failed, but the iterator is nevertheless positioned on some unspecified record. Likely intended uses of that are:
* If some sst files are corrupted, a normal iterator can be used to read the data from files that are not corrupted.
* When using read_tier = kBlockCacheTier, read the data that's in block cache, skipping over the data that is not.
However, this behavior wasn't documented well (and until recently the wiki on github had misleading incorrect information). In the code there's a lot of confusion about the relationship between status() and Valid(), and about whether Seek()/SeekToLast()/etc reset the status or not. There were a number of bugs caused by this confusion, both inside rocksdb and in the code that uses rocksdb (including ours).
This PR changes the convention to:
* If status() is not ok, Valid() always returns false.
* Any seek operation resets status. (Before the PR, it depended on iterator type and on particular error.)
This does sacrifice the two use cases listed above, but siying said it's ok.
Overview of the changes:
* A commit that adds missing status checks in MergingIterator. This fixes a bug that actually affects us, and we need it fixed. `DBIteratorTest.NonBlockingIterationBugRepro` explains the scenario.
* Changes to lots of iterator types to make all of them conform to the new convention. Some bug fixes along the way. By far the biggest changes are in DBIter, which is a big messy piece of code; I tried to make it less big and messy but mostly failed.
* A stress-test for DBIter, to gain some confidence that I didn't break it. It does a few million random operations on the iterator, while occasionally modifying the underlying data (like ForwardIterator does) and occasionally returning non-ok status from internal iterator.
To find the iterator types that needed changes I searched for "public .*Iterator" in the code. Here's an overview of all 27 iterator types:
Iterators that didn't need changes:
* status() is always ok(), or Valid() is always false: MemTableIterator, ModelIter, TestIterator, KVIter (2 classes with this name anonymous namespaces), LoggingForwardVectorIterator, VectorIterator, MockTableIterator, EmptyIterator, EmptyInternalIterator.
* Thin wrappers that always pass through Valid() and status(): ArenaWrappedDBIter, TtlIterator, InternalIteratorFromIterator.
Iterators with changes (see inline comments for details):
* DBIter - an overhaul:
- It used to silently skip corrupted keys (`FindParseableKey()`), which seems dangerous. This PR makes it just stop immediately after encountering a corrupted key, just like it would for other kinds of corruption. Let me know if there was actually some deeper meaning in this behavior and I should put it back.
- It had a few code paths silently discarding subiterator's status. The stress test caught a few.
- The backwards iteration code path was expecting the internal iterator's set of keys to be immutable. It's probably always true in practice at the moment, since ForwardIterator doesn't support backwards iteration, but this PR fixes it anyway. See added DBIteratorTest.ReverseToForwardBug for an example.
- Some parts of backwards iteration code path even did things like `assert(iter_->Valid())` after a seek, which is never a safe assumption.
- It used to not reset status on seek for some types of errors.
- Some simplifications and better comments.
- Some things got more complicated from the added error handling. I'm open to ideas for how to make it nicer.
* MergingIterator - check status after every operation on every subiterator, and in some places assert that valid subiterators have ok status.
* ForwardIterator - changed to the new convention, also slightly simplified.
* ForwardLevelIterator - fixed some bugs and simplified.
* LevelIterator - simplified.
* TwoLevelIterator - changed to the new convention. Also fixed a bug that would make SeekForPrev() sometimes silently ignore errors from first_level_iter_.
* BlockBasedTableIterator - minor changes.
* BlockIter - replaced `SetStatus()` with `Invalidate()` to make sure non-ok BlockIter is always invalid.
* PlainTableIterator - some seeks used to not reset status.
* CuckooTableIterator - tiny code cleanup.
* ManagedIterator - fixed some bugs.
* BaseDeltaIterator - changed to the new convention and fixed a bug.
* BlobDBIterator - seeks used to not reset status.
* KeyConvertingIterator - some small change.

Summary:
Use a customzied BlockBasedTableIterator and LevelIterator to replace current implementations leveraging two-level-iterator. Hope the customized logic will make code easier to understand. As a side effect, BlockBasedTableIterator reduces the allocation for the data block iterator object, and avoid the virtual function call to it, because we can directly reference BlockIter, a final class. Similarly, LevelIterator reduces virtual function call to the dummy iterator iterating the file metadata. It also enabled further optimization.
The upper bound check is also moved from index block to data block. This implementation fits this iterator better. After the change, forwared iterator is slightly optimized to ensure we trim those iterators.
The two-level-iterator now is only used by partitioned index, so it is simplified.

Summary:
This change improves the performance of iterators doing long range scans (e.g. big/full table scans in MyRocks) by using readahead and prefetching additional data on each disk IO. This prefetching is automatically enabled on noticing more than 2 IOs for the same table file during iteration. The readahead size starts with 8KB and is exponentially increased on each additional sequential IO, up to a max of 256 KB. This helps in cutting down the number of IOs needed to complete the range scan.
Constraints:
- The prefetched data is stored by the OS in page cache. So this currently works only for non direct-reads use-cases i.e applications which use page cache. (Direct-I/O support will be enabled in a later PR).
- This gets currently enabled only when ReadOptions.readahead_size = 0 (which is the default value).
Thanks to siying for the original idea and implementation.
**Benchmarks:**
Data fill:
```
TEST_TMPDIR=/data/users/$USER/benchmarks/iter ./db_bench -benchmarks=fillrandom -num=1000000000 -compression_type="none" -level_compaction_dynamic_level_bytes
```
Do a long range scan: Seekrandom with large number of nexts
```
TEST_TMPDIR=/data/users/$USER/benchmarks/iter ./db_bench -benchmarks=seekrandom -duration=60 -num=1000000000 -use_existing_db -seek_nexts=10000 -statistics -histogram
```
Page cache was cleared before each experiment with the command:
```
sudo sh -c "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches"
```
```
Before:
seekrandom : 34020.945 micros/op 29 ops/sec; 32.5 MB/s (1636 of 1999 found)
With this change:
seekrandom : 8726.912 micros/op 114 ops/sec; 126.8 MB/s (5702 of 6999 found)
```
~3.9X performance improvement.
Also verified with strace and gdb that the readahead size is increasing as expected.
```
strace -e readahead -f -T -t -p <db_bench process pid>
```

Summary:
This is a pre-cleaning up before a major block based table iterator refactoring. BlockBasedTable::NewDataBlockIterator() will always return BlockIter. This simplifies the logic and code and enable further refactoring and optimization.

Summary:
Re-use metadata for reading Compression Dictionary on BlockBased
table open, this saves two reads from disk.
This helps to our 999 percentile in 5.6.1 where prefetch buffer is not present.

Summary:
BlockTest.BlockReadAmpBitmap is too slow and times out in some environments. Speed it up by:
(1) improve the way the verification is done. With this it is 5 times faster
(2) run fewer tests for large blocks. This cut it down by another 10 times.
Now it can finish in similar time as other tests.
