Renaming some variables, deprecating purge_log_after_flush, changing for loop into auto for loop.
I have not implemented deleting objects outside of mutex yet because it would require a big code change - we would delete object in db_impl, which currently does not know anything about object because it's defined in version_edit.h (FileMetaData). We should do it at some point, though.

Summary:
Here's one solution we discussed on speeding up FindObsoleteFiles. Keep a set of all files in DBImpl and update the set every time we create a file. I probably missed few other spots where we create a file.
It might speed things up a bit, but makes code uglier. I don't really like it.
Much better approach would be to abstract all file handling to a separate class. Think of it as layer between DBImpl and Env. Having a separate class deal with file namings and deletion would benefit both code cleanliness (especially with huge DBImpl) and speed things up. It will take a huge effort to do this, though.
Let's discuss offline today.

This patch adds a option for universal compaction to allow us to only compress output files if the files compacted previously did not yet reach a specified ratio, to save CPU costs in some cases.

The size amplification is defined to be the ratio between the size of
the oldest file to the sum of the sizes of all other files. If the
size amplification exceeds the specified value, then min_merge_width
and max_merge_width are ignored and a full compaction of all files is done.
A value of 10 means that the size a database that stores 100 bytes

Summary:
The pre-existing code was purging a DeleteMarker if thay key did not
exist in deeper levels. But in the Universal Compaction Style, all

The fix is to purge DeleteMarkers only if the compaction includes
the earlist file.
Test Plan: DBTest.Randomized triggers this code path.

Summary:
Here are the major changes to the Merge Interface. It has been expanded
to handle cases where the MergeOperator is not associative. It does so by stacking
up merge operations while scanning through the key history (i.e.: during Get() or
Compaction), until a valid Put/Delete/end-of-history is encountered; it then
applies all of the merge operations in the correct sequence starting with the
base/sentinel value.
I have also introduced an "AssociativeMerge" function which allows the user to
take advantage of associative merge operations (such as in the case of counters).
The implementation will always attempt to merge the operations/operands themselves
together when they are encountered, and will resort to the "stacking" method if
and only if the "associative-merge" fails.
This implementation is conjectured to allow MergeOperator to handle the general
case, while still providing the user with the ability to take advantage of certain
efficiencies in their own merge-operator / data-structure.
NOTE: This is a preliminary diff. This must still go through a lot of review,
revision, and testing. Feedback welcome!
Test Plan:
-This is a preliminary diff. I have only just begun testing/debugging it.
-I will be testing this with the existing MergeOperator use-cases and unit-tests
(counters, string-append, and redis-lists)
-I will be "desk-checking" and walking through the code with the help gdb.
-I will find a way of stress-testing the new interface / implementation using
db_bench, db_test, merge_test, and/or db_stress.
-I will ensure that my tests cover all cases: Get-Memtable,
Get-Immutable-Memtable, Get-from-Disk, Iterator-Range-Scan, Flush-Memtable-to-L0,
Compaction-L0-L1, Compaction-Ln-L(n+1), Put/Delete found, Put/Delete not-found,

range of keys that were inserted around the same time. The
start-seqno and the end-seqno refers to the timeframe when
these keys were inserted. Files that have contiguous seqno
are compacted together into a larger file. All files are
ordered from most recent to the oldest.
The current compaction algorithm starts to look for
candidate files starting from the most recent file. It continues to
add more files to the same compaction run as long as the
sum of the files chosen till now is smaller than the next
candidate file size. This logic needs to be debated

This adds the rate_delay_limit_milliseconds option to make the delay
configurable in MakeRoomForWrite when the max compaction score is too high.
This delay is called the Ln slowdown. This change also counts the Ln slowdown
per level to make it possible to see where the stalls occur.
From IO-bound performance testing, the Level N stalls occur:
* with compression -> at the largest uncompressed level. This makes sense
because compaction for compressed levels is much
slower. When Lx is uncompressed and Lx+1 is compressed
then files pile up at Lx because the (Lx,Lx+1)->Lx+1
compaction process is the first to be slowed by
compression.
* without compression -> at level 1

Summary:
When a new version is created, we sort all the files at every
level based on their size. This is necessary because we want
to compact the largest file first. The sorting takes quite a
bit of CPU.
Moved the sorting code to be outside the mutex. Also, the
earlier code was sorting files at all levels but we do not
need to sort the highest-number level because those files
are never the cause of any compaction. To reduce sorting
costs, we sort only the first few files in each level
because it is likely that those are the only files in that
level that will be picked for compaction.
At steady state, I have seen that this patch increase
throughout from 1500 writes/sec to 1700 writes/sec at the
end of a 72 hour run. The cpu saving by not sorting the
last level was not distinctive in this test run because
there were only 100K files in the highest numbered level.
I expect the cpu saving to be significant when the number of
files is much higher.
This is mostly an early preview and not ready for rigorous review.
With this patch, the writs/sec is now bottlenecked not by the sorting code but by GetOverlappingInputs. I am working on a patch to optimize GetOverlappingInputs.
