Summary:
During compaction, we sync the output files after they are fully written out. This causes unnecessary blocking of the compaction thread and burstiness of the write traffic.
This diff simply asks the OS to sync data incrementally as they are written, on the background. The hope is that, at the final sync, most of the data are already on disk and we would block less on the sync call. Thus, each compaction runs faster and we could use fewer number of compaction threads to saturate IO.
In addition, the write traffic will be smoothed out, hopefully reducing the IO P99 latency too.
Some quick tests show 10~20% improvement in per thread compaction throughput. Combined with posix advice on compaction read, just 5 threads are enough to almost saturate the udb flash bandwidth for 800 bytes write only benchmark.
What's more promising is that, with saturated IO, iostat shows average wait time is actually smoother and much smaller.
For the write only test 800bytes test:
Before the change: await occillate between 10ms and 3ms
After the change: await ranges 1-3ms
Will test against read-modify-write workload too, see if high read latency P99 could be resolved.
Will introduce a parameter to control the sync interval in a follow up diff after cleaning up EnvOptions.

Summary:
Current posix advice implementation ties up the access pattern hint with the creation of a file.
It is not possible to apply different advice for different access (random get vs compaction read),
without keeping two open files for the same table. This patch extended the RandomeAccessFile interface
to accept new access hint at anytime. Particularly, we are able to set different access hint on the same
table file based on when/how the file is used.
Two options are added to set the access hint, after the file is first opened and after the file is being
compacted.

Summary:
This patch allows an application to specify whether to use bufferedio,
reads-via-mmaps and writes-via-mmaps per database. Earlier, there
was a global static variable that was used to configure this functionality.
The default setting remains the same (and is backward compatible):
1. use bufferedio
2. do not use mmaps for reads
3. use mmap for writes
4. use readaheads for reads needed for compaction
I also added a parameter to db_bench to be able to explicitly specify
whether to do readaheads for compactions or not.

Summary:
Added function to `RandomAccessFile` to generate an unique ID for that file. Currently only `PosixRandomAccessFile` has this behaviour implemented and only on Linux.
Changed how key is generated in `Table::BlockReader`.
Added tests to check whether the unique ID is stable, unique and not a prefix of another unique ID. Added tests to see that `Table` uses the cache more efficiently.

Summary:
On some filesystems, pre-allocation can be a considerable
amount of space. xfs in our production environment pre-allocates by
1GB, for instance. By using fallocate to inform the kernel of our
expected file sizes, we eliminate this wasteage (that isn't recovered
until the file is closed which, in the case of LOG files, can be a
considerable amount of time).
Test Plan:
created an xfs loopback filesystem, mounted with
allocsize=4M, and ran db_stress. LOG file without this change was 4M,
and with it it was 128k then grew to normal size.

Summary:
This patch allows compaction to occur in multiple background threads
concurrently.
If a manual compaction is issued, the system falls back to a
single-compaction-thread model. This is done to ensure correctess
and simplicity of code. When the manual compaction is finished,
the system resumes its concurrent-compaction mode automatically.
The updates to the manifest are done via group-commit approach.
Test Plan: run db_bench
Summary:
The GetLiveFiles() api lists the set of sst files and the current
MANIFEST file. But the database continues to append new data to the
MANIFEST file even when the application is backing it up to the
backup location. This means that the database-version that is
stored in the MANIFEST FILE in the backup location
does not correspond to the sst files returned by GetLiveFiles.
This API adds a new parameter to GetLiveFiles. This new parmeter
returns the current size of the MANIFEST file.
Test Plan: Unit test attached.

- Replace raw slice comparison with a call to user comparator.
Added test for custom comparators.
- Fix end of namespace comments.
- Fixed bug in picking inputs for a level-0 compaction.
When finding overlapping files, the covered range may expand
as files are added to the input set. We now correctly expand
the range when this happens instead of continuing to use the
old range. For example, suppose L0 contains files with the
following ranges:
F1: a .. d
F2: c .. g
F3: f .. j
and the initial compaction target is F3. We used to search
for range f..j which yielded {F2,F3}. However we now expand
the range as soon as another file is added. In this case,
when F2 is added, we expand the range to c..j and restart the
search. That picks up file F1 as well.
This change fixes a bug related to deleted keys showing up
incorrectly after a compaction as described in Issue 44.
(Sync with upstream @25072954)
- Added DB::CompactRange() method.
Changed manual compaction code so it breaks up compactions of
big ranges into smaller compactions.
Changed the code that pushes the output of memtable compactions
to higher levels to obey the grandparent constraint: i.e., we
must never have a single file in level L that overlaps too
much data in level L+1 (to avoid very expensive L-1 compactions).
Added code to pretty-print internal keys.
- Fixed bug where we would not detect overlap with files in
level-0 because we were incorrectly using binary search
on an array of files with overlapping ranges.
Added "leveldb.sstables" property that can be used to dump
all of the sstables and ranges that make up the db state.
- Removing post_write_snapshot support. Email to leveldb mailing
list brought up no users, just confusion from one person about
what it meant.
- Fixing static_cast char to unsigned on BIG_ENDIAN platforms.
Fixes Issue 35 and Issue 36.
- Comment clarification to address leveldb Issue 37.
- Change license in posix_logger.h to match other files.
- A build problem where uint32 was used instead of uint32_t.

Fix GCC -Wshadow warnings in LevelDB's public header files,

Add in-memory Env implementation (helpers/memenv/*).
This enables users to create LevelDB databases in-memory.
Initialize ShardedLRUCache::last_id_ to zero.
This fixes a Valgrind warning.
(Also delete port/sha1_* which were removed upstream some time ago.)
- Removed one copy of an uncompressed block contents changing
the signature of Snappy_Uncompress() so it uncompresses into a
flat array instead of a std::string.
Speeds up readrandom ~10%.
- Instead of a combination of Env/WritableFile, we now have a
Logger interface that can be easily overridden applications
that want to supply their own logging.
- Separated out the gcc and Sun Studio parts of atomic_pointer.h
so we can use 'asm', 'volatile' keywords for Sun Studio.
