Summary:
This PR exposes the `Iterator::Refresh` method to the Java API by adding it on the `RocksIteratorInterface` interface. There are three concrete implementations: `RocksIterator`, `SstFileReaderIterator`, and `WBWIRocksIterator`. For the first two cases, the JNI side simply delegates to the underlying `Iterator::Refresh` method; in the last case, as it doesn't share an ancestor, and per the discussion in https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/3465, a `Status::NotSupported` exception is thrown.
As the last PR had no activity in a while, I'm opening a new one - I'm completely fine with merging the previous PR if it gets completed before this is reviewed.
Let me know if there's anything missing or anything else I can do 👍

Summary:
Adding a Java API for rocksdb::CancelAllBackgroundWork() so that the user can call this (when required) before closing the DB. This is to **prevent the crashes when manual compaction is running and the user decides to close the DB**.
Calling CancelAllBackgroundWork() seems to be the recommended way to make sure that it's safe to close the DB (according to RocksDB FAQ: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/RocksDB-FAQ#basic-readwrite).

Summary:
After we had a lot of failures with maven.org downloads, we
wanted an alternative location for downloading binary dependencies.
Hosting them through github would have been good in terms of
organizational and network dependencies, but that approach seems to be
awkward (fake releases, so would need a 'rocksdb-deps' repo) and
strangely complicated for Facebook policy on open source repositories.
This commit moves the downloads (that are not officially hosted by
others on github) from my personal rocksdb fork to an S3 bucket owned
by the Facebook RocksDB AWS account. Facebook employees can access
this through an internal tool, and we should be able to grant permission
to outside collaborators.
Assuming this works out, I will back-port to older branches to stabilize
their CI testing as well.

In the `.travis.yml` file the `jdk: openjdk7` element is ignored when `language: cpp`. So whatever version of the JDK that was installed in the Travis container was used - typically JDK 11.
To ensure our RocksJava builds are working, we now instead install and use OpenJDK 8. Ideally we would use OpenJDK 7, as RocksJava supports Java 7, but many of the newer Travis containers don't support Java 7, so Java 8 is the next best thing.

Summary:
When paranoid_checks is on, DBImpl::CheckConsistency() iterates over all sst files and calls Env::GetFileSize() for each of them. As far as I could understand, this is pretty arbitrary and doesn't affect correctness - if filesystem doesn't corrupt fsynced files, the file sizes will always match; if it does, it may as well corrupt contents as well as sizes, and rocksdb doesn't check contents on open.
If there are thousands of sst files, getting all their sizes takes a while. If, on top of that, Env is overridden to use some remote storage instead of local filesystem, it can be *really* slow and overload the remote storage service. This PR adds an option to not do GetFileSize(); instead it does GetChildren() for parent directory to check that all the expected sst files are at least present, but doesn't check their sizes.
We can't just disable paranoid_checks instead because paranoid_checks do a few other important things: make the DB read-only on write errors, print error messages on read errors, etc.

Summary:
This is a redesign of the API for RocksJava comparators with the aim of improving performance. It also simplifies the class hierarchy.
**NOTE**: This breaks backwards compatibility for existing 3rd party Comparators implemented in Java... so we need to consider carefully which release branches this goes into.
Previously when implementing a comparator in Java the developer had a choice of subclassing either `DirectComparator` or `Comparator` which would use direct and non-direct byte-buffers resepectively (via `DirectSlice` and `Slice`).
In this redesign there we have eliminated the overhead of using the Java Slice classes, and just use `ByteBuffer`s. The `ComparatorOptions` supplied when constructing a Comparator allow you to choose between direct and non-direct byte buffers by setting `useDirect`.
In addition, the `ComparatorOptions` now allow you to choose whether a ByteBuffer is reused over multiple comparator calls, by setting `maxReusedBufferSize > 0`. When buffers are reused, ComparatorOptions provides a choice of mutex type by setting `useAdaptiveMutex`.
---
[JMH benchmarks previously indicated](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/6241#issue-356398306) that the difference between C++ and Java for implementing a comparator was ~7x slowdown in Java.
With these changes, when reusing buffers and guarding access to them via mutexes the slowdown is approximately the same. However, these changes offer a new facility to not reuse mutextes, which reduces the slowdown to ~5.5x in Java. We also offer a `thread_local` mechanism for reusing buffers, which reduces slowdown to ~5.2x in Java (closes https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/4425).
These changes also form a good base for further optimisation work such as further JNI lookup caching, and JNI critical.
---
These numbers were captured without jemalloc. With jemalloc, the performance improves for all tests, and the Java slowdown reduces to between 4.8x and 5.x.

REMEMBER: The numbers below are just data. To gain reusable insights, you need to follow up on
why the numbers are the way they are. Use profilers (see -prof, -lprof), design factorial
experiments, perform baseline and negative tests that provide experimental control, make sure
the benchmarking environment is safe on JVM/OS/HW level, ask for reviews from the domain experts.
Do not assume the numbers tell you what you want them to tell.

Summary:
There's no technological impediment to allowing the Bloom
filter bits/key to be non-integer (fractional/decimal) values, and it
provides finer control over the memory vs. accuracy trade-off. This is
especially handy in using the format_version=5 Bloom filter in place
of the old one, because bits_per_key=9.55 provides the same accuracy as
the old bits_per_key=10.
This change not only requires refining the logic for choosing the best
num_probes for a given bits/key setting, it revealed a flaw in that logic.
As bits/key gets higher, the best num_probes for a cache-local Bloom
filter is closer to bpk / 2 than to bpk * 0.69, the best choice for a
standard Bloom filter. For example, at 16 bits per key, the best
num_probes is 9 (FP rate = 0.0843%) not 11 (FP rate = 0.0884%).
This change fixes and refines that logic (for the format_version=5
Bloom filter only, just in case) based on empirical tests to find
accuracy inflection points between each num_probes.
Although bits_per_key is now specified as a double, the new Bloom
filter converts/rounds this to "millibits / key" for predictable/precise
internal computations. Just in case of unforeseen compatibility
issues, we round to the nearest whole number bits / key for the
legacy Bloom filter, so as not to unlock new behaviors for it.

Summary:
MyRocks currently sets `max_write_buffer_number_to_maintain` in order to maintain enough history for transaction conflict checking. The effectiveness of this approach depends on the size of memtables. When memtables are small, it may not keep enough history; when memtables are large, this may consume too much memory.
We are proposing a new way to configure memtable list history: by limiting the memory usage of immutable memtables. The new option is `max_write_buffer_size_to_maintain` and it will take precedence over the old `max_write_buffer_number_to_maintain` if they are both set to non-zero values. The new option accounts for the total memory usage of flushed immutable memtables and mutable memtable. When the total usage exceeds the limit, RocksDB may start dropping immutable memtables (which is also called trimming history), starting from the oldest one.
The semantics of the old option actually works both as an upper bound and lower bound. History trimming will start if number of immutable memtables exceeds the limit, but it will never go below (limit-1) due to history trimming.
In order the mimic the behavior with the new option, history trimming will stop if dropping the next immutable memtable causes the total memory usage go below the size limit. For example, assuming the size limit is set to 64MB, and there are 3 immutable memtables with sizes of 20, 30, 30. Although the total memory usage is 80MB > 64MB, dropping the oldest memtable will reduce the memory usage to 60MB < 64MB, so in this case no memtable will be dropped.

if read_options.snapshot is not set, ::Get will take the last sequence number after taking a super-version and uses that as the sequence number. Theoretically max_eviceted_seq_ could advance this sequence number. This could lead ::IsInSnapshot that will be invoked by the ReadCallback to notice the absence of the snapshot. In this case, the ReadCallback should have passed a non-value to snap_released so that it could be set by the ::IsInSnapshot. The patch does that, and adds a unit test to verify it.

Summary:
The first key is used to defer reading the data block until this file gets to the top of merging iterator's heap. For short range scans, most files never make it to the top of the heap, so this change can reduce read amplification by a lot sometimes.
Consider the following workload. There are a few data streams (we'll be calling them "logs"), each stream consisting of a sequence of blobs (we'll be calling them "records"). Each record is identified by log ID and a sequence number within the log. RocksDB key is concatenation of log ID and sequence number (big endian). Reads are mostly relatively short range scans, each within a single log. Writes are mostly sequential for each log, but writes to different logs are randomly interleaved. Compactions are disabled; instead, when we accumulate a few tens of sst files, we create a new column family and start writing to it.
So, a typical sst file consists of a few ranges of blocks, each range corresponding to one log ID (we use FlushBlockPolicy to cut blocks at log boundaries). A typical read would go like this. First, iterator Seek() reads one block from each sst file. Then a series of Next()s move through one sst file (since writes to each log are mostly sequential) until the subiterator reaches the end of this log in this sst file; then Next() switches to the next sst file and reads sequentially from that, and so on. Often a range scan will only return records from a small number of blocks in small number of sst files; in this case, the cost of initial Seek() reading one block from each file may be bigger than the cost of reading the actually useful blocks.
Neither iterate_upper_bound nor bloom filters can prevent reading one block from each file in Seek(). But this PR can: if the index contains first key from each block, we don't have to read the block until this block actually makes it to the top of merging iterator's heap, so for short range scans we won't read any blocks from most of the sst files.
This PR does the deferred block loading inside value() call. This is not ideal: there's no good way to report an IO error from inside value(). As discussed with siying offline, it would probably be better to change InternalIterator's interface to explicitly fetch deferred value and get status. I'll do it in a separate PR.
