Summary:
There is a new option called hybrid_mode which, when switched on,
causes HBase style compactions. Files from L0 are
compacted back into L0. This meat of this compaction algorithm
is in PickCompactionHybrid().
All files reside in L0. That means all files have overlapping
keys. Each file has a time-bound, i.e. each file contains a
range of keys that were inserted around the same time. The
start-seqno and the end-seqno refers to the timeframe when
these keys were inserted. Files that have contiguous seqno
are compacted together into a larger file. All files are
ordered from most recent to the oldest.
The current compaction algorithm starts to look for
candidate files starting from the most recent file. It continues to
add more files to the same compaction run as long as the
sum of the files chosen till now is smaller than the next
candidate file size. This logic needs to be debated
and validated.
The above logic should reduce write amplification to a
large extent... will publish numbers shortly.
Test Plan: dbstress runs for 6 hours with no data corruption (tested so far).

Summary:
Merge multiple multiple memtables in memory before writing it
out to a file in L0.
There is a new config parameter min_write_buffer_number_to_merge
that specifies the number of write buffers that should be merged
together to a single file in storage. The system will not flush
wrte buffers to storage unless at least these many buffers have
accumulated in memory.
The default value of this new parameter is 1, which means that
a write buffer will be immediately flushed to disk as soon it is
ready.

flags for db_bench. Also updated and tested the ReadRandom() method
to include an option to use multiget. By default,
keys_per_multiget=100.
Preliminary tests imply that multiget is at least 1.25x faster per

RandomWithVerify, ReadRandomWriteRandom; soon. Will also think
about ways to better verify benchmarks.

Summary:
Without this files could be written out to a level greater than the maximum level possible and is the source of the segfaults that wormhole awas getting. The sequence of steps that was followed:
1. WriteLevel0Table was called when memtable was to be flushed for a file.
2. PickLevelForMemTableOutput was called to determine the level to which this file should be pushed.
3. PickLevelForMemTableOutput returned a wrong result because max_mem_compaction_level was equal to 2 even when num_levels was equal to 0.
The fix to re-initialize max_mem_compaction_level based on num_levels passed seems correct.
Test Plan: make all check; Also made a dummy file to mimic the wormhole-file behaviour which was causing the segfaults and found that the same segfault occurs without this change and not with this.

FindObsoleteFiles was slow, holding the single big lock, resulted in bad p99 behavior.
Didn't profile anything, but several things could be improved:
1. VersionSet::AddLiveFiles works with std::set, which is by itself slow (a tree).
You also don't know how many dynamic allocations occur just for building up this tree.
switched to std::vector, also added logic to pre-calculate total size and do just one allocation
2. Don't see why env_->GetChildren() needs to be mutex proteced, moved to PurgeObsoleteFiles where
mutex could be unlocked.
3. switched std::set to std:unordered_set, the conversion from vector is also inside PurgeObsoleteFiles
I have a feeling this should pretty much fix it.

Summary:
The compaction process zeros out sequence numbers if the output is
part of the bottommost level.
The Slice is supposed to refer to an immutable data buffer. The
merger that implements the priority queue while reading kvs as
the input of a compaction run reies on this fact. The bug was that
were updating the sequence number of a record in-place and that was
causing suceeding invocations of the merger to return kvs in
arbitrary order of sequence numbers.
The fix is to copy the key to a local memory buffer before setting
its seqno to 0.

Summary:
This adds the rate_delay_limit_milliseconds option to make the delay
configurable in MakeRoomForWrite when the max compaction score is too high.
This delay is called the Ln slowdown. This change also counts the Ln slowdown
per level to make it possible to see where the stalls occur.
From IO-bound performance testing, the Level N stalls occur:
* with compression -> at the largest uncompressed level. This makes sense
because compaction for compressed levels is much
slower. When Lx is uncompressed and Lx+1 is compressed
then files pile up at Lx because the (Lx,Lx+1)->Lx+1
compaction process is the first to be slowed by
compression.
* without compression -> at level 1

most recent one is dumped into the output file. The purging of
redundant records occur only if the most recent snapshot is earlier
