Summary:
RocksDB currently queues individual column family for flushing. This is not sufficient to support the needs of some applications that want to enforce order/dependency between column families, given that multiple foreground and background activities can trigger flushing in RocksDB.
This PR aims to address this limitation. Each flush request is described as a `FlushRequest` that can contain multiple column families. A background flushing thread pops one flush request from the queue at a time and processes it.
This PR does not enable atomic_flush yet, but is a subset of [PR 3752](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/3752).

Summary:
The API comment on `OnTableFileCreationStarted` (b6280d01f9/include/rocksdb/listener.h (L331-L333)) led users to believe a call to `OnTableFileCreationStarted` will always be matched with a call to `OnTableFileCreated`. However, we were skipping the `OnTableFileCreated` call in one case: no error happens but also no file is generated since there's no data.
This PR adds the call to `OnTableFileCreated` for that case. The filename will be "(nil)" and the size will be zero.

Summary:
Memtables are selected for flushing by the flush job. Currently we
have listener which is invoked when memtables for a column family are
flushed. That listener does not indicate which memtable was flushed in
the notification. If clients want to know if particular data in the
memtable was retired, there is no straight forward way to know this.
This method will help users who implement memtablerep factory and extend
interface for memtablerep, to know if the data in the memtable was
retired.
Another option that was tried, was to depend on memtable destructor to
be called after flush to mark that data was persisted. This works all
the time but sometimes there can huge delays between actual flush
happening and memtable getting destroyed. Hence, if anyone who is
waiting for data to persist will have to wait that longer.
It is expected that anyone who is implementing this method to have
return quickly as it blocks RocksDB.

Summary:
Given that index value is a BlockHandle, which is basically an <offset, size> pair we can apply delta encoding on the values. The first value at each index restart interval encoded the full BlockHandle but the rest encode only the size. Refer to IndexBlockIter::DecodeCurrentValue for the detail of the encoding. This reduces the index size which helps using the block cache more efficiently. The feature is enabled with using format_version 4.
The feature comes with a bit of cpu overhead which should be paid back by the higher cache hits due to smaller index block size.
Results with sysbench read-only using 4k blocks and using 16 index restart interval:

Summary:
There are two issues with `VisibleToActiveSnapshot`:
1. If there are no snapshots, `oldest_snapshot` will be 0 and `VisibleToActiveSnapshot` will always return true. Since the method is used to decide whether it is safe to delete obsolete files, obsolete file won't be able to delete in this case.
2. The `auto` keyword of `auto snapshots = db_impl_->snapshots()` translate to a copy of `const SnapshotList` instead of a reference. Since copy constructor of `SnapshotList` is not defined, using the copy may yield unexpected result.
Issue 2 actually hide issue 1 from being catch by tests. During test `snapshots.empty()` can return false while it should actually be empty, and `snapshots.oldest()` return an invalid address, making `oldest_snapshot` being some random large number.
The issue was originally reported by BlobDB early adopter at Kuaishou.

Summary:
In the past, we assume that a job modifies a single column family. Therefore, a job can create at most one superversion since each superversion corresponds to one column family. This assumption leads to the fact that a `JobContext` has only one member variable called `superversion_context`.
Now we want to support group flush of column families, indicating that each job can create multiple superversions. Therefore, we need to make the following change to accommodate this new feature.
Add a vector of `SuperVersionContext` to `JobContext` to support installing
superversions for multiple column families in one job context.

The current verification logic does not consider the case in which multiple

simultaneously. Each invocation will trigger the callback adding elements to

The solution is to give up checking the elements. Instead, we check the number

Summary:
`CollapsedRangeDelMap` internally uses seqno zero as a sentinel value to
denote a gap between range tombstones or the end of range tombstones. It
therefore expects to never have consecutive sentinel tombstones.
However, since `DeleteRange` is now supported in `SstFileWriter`, an
ingested file may contain range tombstones, and that ingested file may
be assigned global seqno zero. When such tombstones are added to the
collapsed map, they resemble sentinel tombstones due to having seqno
zero. Then, the invariant mentioned above about never having consecutive
sentinel tombstones can be violated.
The symptom of this violation was dereferencing the `end()` iterator
(#4204). The fix in this PR is to not add range tombstones with seqno
zero to the collapsed map. They're not needed anyways since they can't
possibly cover anything (in case of a key and a range tombstone with the
same seqno, the key is visible).

Summary:
A framework for tracing and replaying RocksDB operations.
A binary trace file is created by capturing the DB operations, and it can be replayed back at the same rate using db_bench.
- Column-families are supported
- Multi-threaded tracing is supported.
- TraceReader and TraceWriter are exposed to the user, so that tracing to various destinations can be enabled (say, to other messaging/logging services). By default, a FileTraceReader and FileTraceWriter are implemented to capture to a file and replay from it.
- This is not yet ideal to be enabled in production due to large performance overhead, but it can be safely tried out in a shadow setup, say, for analyzing RocksDB operations.
Currently supported DB operations:
- Writes:
-- Put
-- Merge
-- Delete
-- SingleDelete
-- DeleteRange
-- Write
- Reads:
-- Get (point lookups)

Summary:
RocksDB used to store global_seqno in external SST files written by
SstFileWriter. During file ingestion, RocksDB uses `pwrite` to update the
`global_seqno`. Since random write is not supported in some non-POSIX compliant
file systems, external SST file ingestion is not supported on these file
systems. To address this limitation, we no longer update `global_seqno` during
file ingestion. Later RocksDB uses the MANIFEST and other information in table
properties to deduce global seqno for externally-ingested SST files.

Summary:
This adds support for writing unprepared batches based on size defined in `TransactionOptions::max_write_batch_size`. This is done by overriding methods that modify data (Put/Delete/SingleDelete/Merge) and checking first if write batch size has exceeded threshold. If so, the write batch is written to DB as an unprepared batch.
Support for Commit/Rollback for unprepared batch is added as well. This has been done by simply extending the WritePrepared Commit/Rollback logic to take care of all unprep_seq numbers either when updating prepare heap, or adding to commit map. For updating the commit map, this logic exists inside `WriteUnpreparedCommitEntryPreReleaseCallback`.
A test change was also made to have transactions unregister themselves when committing without prepare. This is because with write unprepared, there may be unprepared entries (which act similarly to prepared entries) already when a commit is done without prepare.

We can optimize by storing only ticker values that are used in `Get()` calls in a new struct `GetContextStats` since only a small fraction of all tickers are used in `Get()` calls. For comparison, with the new approach we only need to visit 17 values while old approach will require visiting 100+ `Ticker`

Summary:
Fix the issue when pipelined write is enabled, writers can get stuck indefinitely and not able to finish the write. It can show with the following example: Assume there are 4 writers W1, W2, W3, W4 (W1 is the first, W4 is the last).
T1: all writers pending in WAL writer queue:
WAL writer queue: W1, W2, W3, W4
memtable writer queue: empty
T2. W1 finish WAL writer and move to memtable writer queue:
WAL writer queue: W2, W3, W4,
memtable writer queue: W1
T3. W2 and W3 finish WAL write as a batch group. W2 enter ExitAsBatchGroupLeader and move the group to memtable writer queue, but before wake up next leader.
WAL writer queue: W4
memtable writer queue: W1, W2, W3
T4. W1, W2, W3 finish memtable write as a batch group. Note that W2 still in the previous ExitAsBatchGroupLeader, although W1 have done memtable write for W2.
WAL writer queue: W4
memtable writer queue: empty
T5. The thread corresponding to W3 create another writer W3' with the same address as W3.
WAL writer queue: W4, W3'
memtable writer queue: empty
T6. W2 continue with ExitAsBatchGroupLeader. Because the address of W3' is the same as W3, the last writer in its group, it thinks there are no pending writers, so it reset newest_writer_ to null, emptying the queue. W4 and W3' are deleted from the queue and will never be wake up.
The issue exists since pipelined write was introduced in 5.5.0.

Summary:
Fixes#3391.
This change adds a `DeleteRange` method to `SstFileWriter` and adds
support for ingesting SSTs with range deletion tombstones. This is
important for applications that need to atomically ingest SSTs while
clearing out any existing keys in a given key range.

Summary:
Do not consider the range tombstone sentinel key as causing 2 adjacent
sstables in a level to overlap. When a range tombstone's end key is the
largest key in an sstable, the sstable's end key is so to a "sentinel"
value that is the smallest key in the next sstable with a sequence
number of kMaxSequenceNumber. This "sentinel" is guaranteed to not
overlap in internal-key space with the next sstable. Unfortunately,
GetOverlappingFiles uses user-keys to determine overlap and was thus
considering 2 adjacent sstables in a level to overlap if they were
separated by this sentinel key. This in turn would cause compactions to
be larger than necessary.
Note that this conflicts with
https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/2769 and cases
`DBRangeDelTest.CompactionTreatsSplitInputLevelDeletionAtomically` to
fail.
