Summary:
PipelineWriteImpl is an alternative approach to WriteImpl. In WriteImpl, only one thread is allow to write at the same time. This thread will do both WAL and memtable writes for all write threads in the write group. Pending writers wait in queue until the current writer finishes. In the pipeline write approach, two queue is maintained: one WAL writer queue and one memtable writer queue. All writers (regardless of whether they need to write WAL) will still need to first join the WAL writer queue, and after the house keeping work and WAL writing, they will need to join memtable writer queue if needed. The benefit of this approach is that
1. Writers without memtable writes (e.g. the prepare phase of two phase commit) can exit write thread once WAL write is finish. They don't need to wait for memtable writes in case of group commit.
2. Pending writers only need to wait for previous WAL writer finish to be able to join the write thread, instead of wait also for previous memtable writes.

Summary:
The concept about early exit in write thread implementation is a confusing one. It means that if early exit is allowed, batch group leader will not responsible to exit the batch group, but the last finished writer do. In case we need to mark log synced, or encounter memtable insert error, early exit is disallowed.
This patch remove such a concept by:
* In all cases, the last finished writer (not necessary leader) is responsible to exit batch group.
* In case of parallel memtable write, leader will also mark log synced after memtable insert and before signal finish (call `CompleteParallelWorker()`). The purpose is to allow mark log synced (which require locking mutex) can run in parallel to memtable insert in other writers.
* The last finish writer should handle memtable insert error (update bg_error_) before exiting batch group.

Summary:
Refactor WriteImpl() so when I plug-in the pipeline write code (which is
an alternative approach for WriteThread), some of the logic can be
reuse. I split out the following methods from WriteImpl():
* PreprocessWrite()
* HandleWALFull() (previous MaybeFlushColumnFamilies())
* HandleWriteBufferFull()
* WriteToWAL()
Also adding a constructor to WriteThread::Writer, and move WriteContext into db_impl.h.
No real logic change in this patch.

Summary:
Add API to WriteBatch to store range deletions in its buffer
which are later added to memtable. In the WriteBatch buffer, a range
deletion is encoded as "<optype><CF ID (optional)><begin key><end key>".
With this diff, the range tombstones are stored inline with the data in
the memtable. It's useful for now because the test cases rely on the
data being accessible via memtable. My next step is to store range
tombstones in a separate area in the memtable.

Summary:
copy from task 8196669:
1) Optimistic transactions do not support batching writes from different threads.
2) Pessimistic transactions do not support batching writes if an expiration time is set.
In these 2 cases, we currently do not do any write batching in DBImpl::WriteImpl() because there is a WriteCallback that could decide at the last minute to abort the write. But we could support batching write operations with callbacks if we make sure to process the callbacks correctly.
To do this, we would first need to modify write_thread.cc to stop preventing writes with callbacks from being batched together. Then we would need to change DBImpl::WriteImpl() to call all WriteCallback's in a batch, only write the batches that succeed, and correctly set the state of each batch's WriteThread::Writer.
Test Plan: Added test WriteWithCallbackTest to write_callback_test.cc which creates multiple client threads and verifies that writes are batched and executed properly.

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
--block_size=16384 --allow_concurrent_memtable_write" on a two-socket
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.

Summary:
This diff allows a Writer to join the next write batch group
without acquiring any locks. Waiting is performed via a per-Writer mutex,
so all of the non-leader writers never need to acquire the db mutex.
It is now possible to join a write batch group after the leader has been
chosen but before the batch has been constructed. This diff doesn't
increase parallelism, but reduces synchronization overheads.
For some CPU-bound workloads (no WAL, RAM-sized working set) this can
substantially reduce contention on the db mutex in a multi-threaded
environment. With T=8 N=500000 in a CPU-bound scenario (see the test
plan) this is good for a 33% perf win. Not all scenarios see such a
win, but none show a loss. This code is slightly faster even for the
single-threaded case (about 2% for the CPU-bound scenario below).
Test Plan:
1. unit tests
2. COMPILE_WITH_TSAN=1 make check
3. stress high-contention scenarios with db_bench -benchmarks=fillrandom -threads=$T -batch_size=1 -memtablerep=skip_list -value_size=0 --num=$N -level0_slowdown_writes_trigger=9999 -level0_stop_writes_trigger=9999 -disable_auto_compactions --max_write_buffer_number=8 -max_background_flushes=8 --disable_wal --write_buffer_size=160000000

Summary:
In one of our recent meetings, we discussed deprecating features that are not being actively used. One of those features, at least within Facebook, is timeout_hint. The feature is really nicely implemented, but if nobody needs it, we should remove it from our code-base (until we get a valid use-case). Some arguments:
* Less code == better icache hit rate, smaller builds, simpler code
* The motivation for adding timeout_hint_us was to work-around RocksDB's stall issue. However, we're currently addressing the stall issue itself (see @sdong's recent work on stall write_rate), so we should never see sharp lock-ups in the future.
* Nobody is using the feature within Facebook's code-base. Googling for `timeout_hint_us` also doesn't yield any users.

We slow down data into the database to the rate of options.delayed_write_rate (a new option) with this patch.
The thread synchronization approach I take is to still synchronize write controller by DB mutex and GetDelay() is inside DB mutex. Try to minimize the frequency of getting time in GetDelay(). I verified it through db_bench and it seems to work
hard_rate_limit is deprecated.
options.delayed_write_rate is still not dynamically changeable. Need to work on it as a follow-up.

Not yet implemented would be a way of enuring the memtable has some minimum amount of history so that we won't fail to commit when the memtable is empty. You should probably start with transaction.h to get an overview of what is currently supported.
