Summary:
The patch builds on `BlobGarbageMeter` and `BlobCountingIterator`
(introduced in https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/8426 and
https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/8443 respectively)
and ties it all together. It measures the amount of garbage
generated by a compaction and logs the corresponding `BlobFileGarbage`
records as part of the compaction job's `VersionEdit`. Note: in order
to have accurate results, `kRemoveAndSkipUntil` for compaction filters
is implemented using iteration.

This is the next part of the ImmutableOptions cleanup. After changing the use of ImmutableCFOptions to ImmutableOptions, there were places in the code that had did something like "ImmutableOptions* immutable_cf_options", where "cf" referred to the "old" type.
This change simply renames the variables to match the current type. No new functionality is introduced.

Summary:
The ImmutableCFOptions contained a bunch of fields that belonged to the ImmutableDBOptions. This change cleans that up by introducing an ImmutableOptions struct. Following the pattern of Options struct, this class inherits from the DB and CFOption structs (of the Immutable form).
Only one structural change (the ImmutableCFOptions::fs was changed to a shared_ptr from a raw one) is in this PR. All of the other changes involve moving the member variables from the ImmutableCFOptions into the ImmutableOptions and changing member variables or function parameters as required for compilation purposes.
Follow-on PRs may do a further clean-up of the code, such as renaming variables (such as "ImmutableOptions cf_options") and potentially eliminating un-needed function parameters (there is no longer a need to pass both an ImmutableDBOptions and an ImmutableOptions to a function).

Summary:
When users use Level-Compaction-with-TTL by setting `cf_options.ttl`, the ttl-expired data could take n*ttl time to reach the bottom level (where n is the number of levels) due to how the `creation_time` table property was calculated for the newly created files during compaction. The creation time of new files was set to a max of all compaction-input-files-creation-times which essentially resulted in resetting the ttl as the key range moves across levels. This behavior is now fixed by changing the `creation_time` to be based on minimum of all compaction-input-files-creation-times; this will cause cascading compactions across levels for the ttl-expired data to move to the bottom level, resulting in getting rid of tombstones/deleted-data faster.
This will help start cascading compactions to move the expired key range to the bottom-most level faster.

During compaction, "atomic compaction unit boundaries" (the range of

to RangeDelAggregator to truncate range tombstones at those boundariies
instead. See https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/4432#discussion_r221072219 and https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/4432#discussion_r221138683

Summary:
Introducing FIFO compactions with TTL.
FIFO compaction is based on size only which makes it tricky to enable in production as use cases can have organic growth. A user requested an option to drop files based on the time of their creation instead of the total size.
To address that request:
- Added a new TTL option to FIFO compaction options.
- Updated FIFO compaction score to take TTL into consideration.
- Added a new table property, creation_time, to keep track of when the SST file is created.
- Creation_time is set as below:
- On Flush: Set to the time of flush.
- On Compaction: Set to the max creation_time of all the files involved in the compaction.
- On Repair and Recovery: Set to the time of repair/recovery.
- Old files created prior to this code change will have a creation_time of 0.
- FIFO compaction with TTL is enabled when ttl > 0. All files older than ttl will be deleted during compaction. i.e. `if (file.creation_time < (current_time - ttl)) then delete(file)`. This will enable cases where you might want to delete all files older than, say, 1 day.
- FIFO compaction will fall back to the prior way of deleting files based on size if:
- the creation_time of all files involved in compaction is 0.
- the total size (of all SST files combined) does not drop below `compaction_options_fifo.max_table_files_size` even if the files older than ttl are deleted.
This feature is not supported if max_open_files != -1 or with table formats other than Block-based.
**Test Plan:**
Added tests.

Summary:
Issue scenario:
(1) We have 3 files in L1 and we issue a compaction that will compact them into 1 file in L2
(2) While compaction (1) is running, we flush a file into L0 and trigger another compaction that decide to move this file to L1 and then move it again to L2 (this file don't overlap with any other files)
(3) compaction (1) finishes and install the file it generated in L2, but this file overlap with the file we generated in (2) so we break the LSM consistency
Looks like this issue can be triggered by using non-exclusive manual compaction or AddFile()

This patch makes two changes:
1. Make the shared Compaction pointer const so that it can never be modified
during the compaction.
2. Move necessary states from Compaction to SubcompactionState.
3. Make functions of Compaction const if the function does not modify

Summary:
Up to this point, the subcompactions that make up a compaction
job have been divided based on the key range of the L1 files, and each
subcompaction has handled the key range of only one file. However
DBOption.max_subcompactions allows the user to designate how many
subcompactions at most to perform. This patch updates the
CompactionJob::GetSubcompactionBoundaries() to determine these
divisions accordingly based on that option and other input/system factors.
The current approach orders the starting and/or ending keys of certain
compaction input files and then generates a histogram to approximate the
size covered by the key range between each consecutive pair of keys. Then
it groups these ranges into groups so that the sizes are approximately equal
to one another. The approach has also been adapted to work for universal
compaction as well instead of just for level-based compaction as it was before.
These subcompactions are then executed in parallel by locally spawning
threads, one for each. The results are then aggregated and the compaction
completed.

(instead of sharing the one global CompactionState). Each subcompaction then
uses this state to update its statistics, keep track of its snapshots, etc.
during the course of execution. Then at the end of all the executions the
statistics are aggregated across the subcompactions so that the final result

Summary:
As of now compactions involving files from Level 0 and Level 1 are single
threaded because the files in L0, although sorted, are not range partitioned like
the other levels. This means that during L0-L1 compaction each file from L1
needs to be merged with potentially all the files from L0.
This attempt to parallelize the L0-L1 compaction assigns a thread and a
corresponding iterator to each L1 file that then considers only the key range
found in that L1 file and only the L0 files that have those keys (and only the
specific portion of those L0 files in which those keys are found). In this way
the overlap is minimized and potentially eliminated between different iterators
focusing on the same files.
The first step is to restructure the compaction logic to break L0-L1 compactions
into multiple, smaller, sequential compactions. Eventually each of these smaller
jobs will be run simultaneously. Areas to pay extra attention to are
# Correct aggregation of compaction job statistics across multiple threads
# Proper opening/closing of output files (make sure each thread's is unique)
# Keys that span multiple L1 files
# Skewed distributions of keys within L0 files

- Input level files cannot be overlapping
Removed conditions:
- Trivial move only run when the compaction is not manual
- Input level should can contain only 1 file

```
```

because trivial move does not need any extra space, and did not check for that

Summary:
The goal of this diff is to make Compaction class easier to use. This should also make new compaction algorithms easier to write (like CompactFiles from @yhchiang and dynamic leveled and multi-leveled universal from @sdong).
Here are couple of things demonstrating that Compaction class is hard to use:
1. we have two constructors of Compaction class
2. there's this thing called grandparents_, but it appears to only be setup for leveled compaction and not compactfiles
3. it's easy to introduce a subtle and dangerous bug like this: D36225
4. SetupBottomMostLevel() is hard to understand and it shouldn't be. See this comment: afbafeaeae/db/compaction.cc (L236-L241). It also made it harder for @yhchiang to write CompactFiles, as evidenced by this: afbafeaeae/db/compaction_picker.cc (L204-L210)
The problem is that we create Compaction object, which holds a lot of state, and then pass it around to some functions. After those functions are done mutating, then we call couple of functions on Compaction object, like SetupBottommostLevel() and MarkFilesBeingCompacted(). It is very hard to see what's happening with all that Compaction's state while it's travelling across different functions. If you're writing a new PickCompaction() function you need to try really hard to understand what are all the functions you need to run on Compaction object and what state you need to setup.
My proposed solution is to make important parts of Compaction immutable after construction. PickCompaction() should calculate compaction inputs and then pass them onto Compaction object once they are finalized. That makes it easy to create a new compaction -- just provide all the parameters to the constructor and you're done. No need to call confusing functions after you created your object.
This diff doesn't fully achieve that goal, but it comes pretty close. Here are some of the changes:
* have one Compaction constructor instead of two.
* inputs_ is constant after construction
* MarkFilesBeingCompacted() is now private to Compaction class and automatically called on construction/destruction.
* SetupBottommostLevel() is gone. Compaction figures it out on its own based on the input.
* CompactionPicker's functions are not passing around Compaction object anymore. They are only passing around the state that they need.
Test Plan:
make check
make asan_check
make valgrind_check

Summary:
When having fixed max_bytes_for_level_base, the ratio of size of largest level and the second one can range from 0 to the multiplier. This makes LSM tree frequently irregular and unpredictable. It can also cause poor space amplification in some cases.
In this improvement (proposed by Igor Kabiljo), we introduce a parameter option.level_compaction_use_dynamic_max_bytes. When turning it on, RocksDB is free to pick a level base in the range of (options.max_bytes_for_level_base/options.max_bytes_for_level_multiplier, options.max_bytes_for_level_base] so that real level ratios are close to options.max_bytes_for_level_multiplier.
Test Plan: New unit tests and pass tests suites including valgrind.
