Summary:
Currently DB does not accept duplicate keys (keys with the same user key and the same sequence number). If Memtable returns false when receiving such keys, we can benefit from this signal to properly increase the sequence number in the rare cases when we have a duplicate key in the write batch written to DB under WritePrepared transactions.

Summary:
Previously setting `write_buffer_size` with `SetOptions` would only apply to new memtables. An internal user wanted it to take effect immediately, instead of at an arbitrary future point, to prevent OOM.
This PR makes the memtable's size mutable, and makes `SetOptions()` mutate it. There is one case when we preserve the old behavior, which is when memtable prefix bloom filter is enabled and the user is increasing the memtable's capacity. That's because the prefix bloom filter's size is fixed and wouldn't work as well on a larger memtable.

Summary:
With FIFO compaction we would like to get the oldest data time for monitoring. The problem is we don't have timestamp for each key in the DB. As an approximation, we expose the earliest of sst file "creation_time" property.

Summary:
Add kTypeBlobIndex value type, which will be used by blob db only, to insert a (key, blob_offset) KV pair. The purpose is to
1. Make it possible to open existing rocksdb instance as blob db. Existing value will be of kTypeIndex type, while value inserted by blob db will be of kTypeBlobIndex.
2. Make rocksdb able to detect if the db contains value written by blob db, if so return error.
3. Make it possible to have blob db optionally store value in SST file (with kTypeValue type) or as a blob value (with kTypeBlobIndex type).
The root db (DBImpl) basically pretended kTypeBlobIndex are normal value on write. On Get if is_blob is provided, return whether the value read is of kTypeBlobIndex type, or return Status::NotSupported() status if is_blob is not provided. On scan allow_blob flag is pass and if the flag is true, return wether the value is of kTypeBlobIndex type via iter->IsBlob().
Changes on blob db side will be in a separate patch.

Summary:
For every merge operand encountered for a key in the read path we now have the ability to decide whether to look further (to retrieve more merge operands for the key) or stop and invoke the merge operator to return the value. The user needs to override `ShouldMerge()` method with a condition to terminate search when true to avail this facility.
This has a couple of advantages:
1. It helps in limiting the number of merge operands that are looked at to compute a value as part of a user Get operation.
2. It allows to peek at a merge key-value to see if further merge operands need to look at.
Example: Limiting the number of merge operands that are looked at: Lets say you have 10 merge operands for a key spread over various levels. If you only want RocksDB to look at the latest two merge operands instead of all 10 to compute the value, it is now possible with this PR. You can set the condition in `ShouldMerge()` to return true when the size of the operand list is 2. Look at the example implementation in the unit test. Without this PR, a Get might look at all the 10 merge operands in different levels before invoking the merge-operator.
Added a new unit test.
Made sure that there is no perf regression by running benchmarks.

Summary:
Improve write buffer manager in several ways:
1. Size is tracked when arena block is allocated, rather than every allocation, so that it can better track actual memory usage and the tracking overhead is slightly lower.
2. We start to trigger memtable flush when 7/8 of the memory cap hits, instead of 100%, and make 100% much harder to hit.
3. Allow a cache object to be passed into buffer manager and the size allocated by memtable can be costed there. This can help users have one single memory cap across block cache and memtable.

Summary:
Currently the point lookup values are copied to a string provided by the user.
This incures an extra memcpy cost. This patch allows doing point lookup
via a PinnableSlice which pins the source memory location (instead of
copying their content) and releases them after the content is consumed
by the user. The old API of Get(string) is translated to the new API
underneath.
Here is the summary for improvements:
1. value 100 byte: 1.8% regular, 1.2% merge values
2. value 1k byte: 11.5% regular, 7.5% merge values
3. value 10k byte: 26% regular, 29.9% merge values
The improvement for merge could be more if we extend this approach to
pin the merge output and delay the full merge operation until the user
actually needs it. We have put that for future work.
PS:
Sometimes we observe a small decrease in performance when switching from
t5452014 to this patch but with the old Get(string) API. The difference
is a little and could be noise. More importantly it is safely
cancelled

I think what's happening is:
1. we create a snapshot iterator,
2. we do lots of Put()s for the same key x; this creates lots of entries in memtable,
3. we seek the iterator to a key slightly smaller than x,
4. the seek walks over lots of entries in memtable for key x, skipping them because of high sequence numbers.

- Add `memtable_insert_prefix_extractor` to allow specifying prefix for each key.
- Add `InsertWithHint()` interface to memtable, to allow underlying
implementation to return a hint of insert position, which can be later
pass back to optimize inserts.
- Memtable will maintain a map from prefix to hints and pass the hint
via `InsertWithHint()` if `memtable_insert_prefix_extractor` is non-null.

Summary:
This diff adds support for concurrent adds to the skiplist memtable
implementations. Memory allocation is made thread-safe by the addition of
a spinlock, with small per-core buffers to avoid contention. Concurrent
memtable writes are made via an additional method and don't impose a
performance overhead on the non-concurrent case, so parallelism can be
selected on a per-batch basis.
Write thread synchronization is an increasing bottleneck for higher levels
of concurrency, so this diff adds --enable_write_thread_adaptive_yield
(default off). This feature causes threads joining a write batch
group to spin for a short time (default 100 usec) using sched_yield,
rather than going to sleep on a mutex. If the timing of the yield calls
indicates that another thread has actually run during the yield then
spinning is avoided. This option improves performance for concurrent
situations even without parallel adds, although it has the potential to
increase CPU usage (and the heuristic adaptation is not yet mature).
Parallel writes are not currently compatible with
inplace updates, update callbacks, or delete filtering.
Enable it with --allow_concurrent_memtable_write (and
--enable_write_thread_adaptive_yield). Parallel memtable writes
are performance neutral when there is no actual parallelism, and in
my experiments (SSD server-class Linux and varying contention and key
sizes for fillrandom) they are always a performance win when there is
more than one thread.
Statistics are updated earlier in the write path, dropping the number
of DB mutex acquisitions from 2 to 1 for almost all cases.
This diff was motivated and inspired by Yahoo's cLSM work. It is more
conservative than cLSM: RocksDB's write batch group leader role is
preserved (along with all of the existing flush and write throttling
logic) and concurrent writers are blocked until all memtable insertions
have completed and the sequence number has been advanced, to preserve
linearizability.
My test config is "db_bench -benchmarks=fillrandom -threads=$T
-batch_size=1 -memtablerep=skip_list -value_size=100 --num=1000000/$T
-level0_slowdown_writes_trigger=9999 -level0_stop_writes_trigger=9999

-max_background_flushes=8 --disable_wal --write_buffer_size=160000000

Xeon E5-2660 @ 2.2Ghz with lots of memory and an SSD hard drive. With 1
thread I get ~440Kops/sec. Peak performance for 1 socket (numactl
-N1) is slightly more than 1Mops/sec, at 16 threads. Peak performance
across both sockets happens at 30 threads, and is ~900Kops/sec, although
with fewer threads there is less performance loss when the system has
background work.
