This eliminates the need to remember to call PERF_TIMER_STOP when a section has
been timed. This allows more useful design with the perf timers and enables
possible return value optimizations. Simplistic example:
class Foo {
public:
Foo(int v) : m_v(v);
private:
int m_v;
}
Foo makeFrobbedFoo(int *errno)
{
*errno = 0;
return Foo();
}
Foo bar(int *errno)
{
PERF_TIMER_GUARD(some_timer);
return makeFrobbedFoo(errno);
}
int main(int argc, char[] argv)
{
Foo f;
int errno;
f = bar(&errno);
if (errno)
return -1;
return 0;
}
After bar() is called, perf_context.some_timer would be incremented as if
Stop(&perf_context.some_timer) was called at the end, and the compiler is still
able to produce optimizations on the return value from makeFrobbedFoo() through
to main().

Some platforms, particularly Windows, do not have a single method that can
release both a held reader lock and a held writer lock; instead, a
separate method (ReleaseSRWLockShared or ReleaseSRWLockExclusive) must be
called in each case.
This may also be necessary to back MutexRW with a shared_mutex in C++14;
the current language proposal includes both an unlock() and a
shared_unlock() method.
Summary:
In this patch, try to allocate the whole iterator tree starting from DBIter from an arena
1. ArenaWrappedDBIter is created when serves as the entry point of an iterator tree, with an arena in it.
2. Add an option to create iterator from arena for following iterators: DBIter, MergingIterator, MemtableIterator, all mem table's iterators, all table reader's iterators and two level iterator.
3. MergeIteratorBuilder is created to incrementally build the tree of internal iterators. It is passed to mem table list and version set and add iterators to it.
Limitations:
(1) Only DB::NewIterator() without tailing uses the arena. Other cases, including readonly DB and compactions are still from malloc
(2) Two level iterator itself is allocated in arena, but not iterators inside it.

Summary:
= Major Changes =
* Add a new mem-table representation, HashCuckooRep, which is based cuckoo hash.
Cuckoo hash uses multiple hash functions. This allows each key to have multiple
possible locations in the mem-table.
- Put: When insert a key, it will try to find whether one of its possible
locations is vacant and store the key. If none of its possible
locations are available, then it will kick out a victim key and
store at that location. The kicked-out victim key will then be
stored at a vacant space of its possible locations or kick-out
another victim. In this diff, the kick-out path (known as
cuckoo-path) is found using BFS, which guarantees to be the shortest.
- Get: Simply tries all possible locations of a key --- this guarantees
worst-case constant time complexity.
- Time complexity: O(1) for Get, and average O(1) for Put if the
fullness of the mem-table is below 80%.
- Default using two hash functions, the number of hash functions used
by the cuckoo-hash may dynamically increase if it fails to find a
short-enough kick-out path.
- Currently, HashCuckooRep does not support iteration and snapshots,
as our current main purpose of this is to optimize point access.
= Minor Changes =
* Add IsSnapshotSupported() to DB to indicate whether the current DB
supports snapshots. If it returns false, then DB::GetSnapshot() will
always return nullptr.
Test Plan:
Run existing tests. Will develop a test specifically for cuckoo hash in
the next diff.

prefix_extractor and SliceTransform to be the same object when
Hash**Factory is used. This makes the behavior strange: when
Hash**Factory is used, prefix_extractor will be released by RocksDB. If

Summary:
This diff fixes 2 hacks:
* The callback function can modify the existing value inplace, if the merged value fits within the existing buffer size. But currently the existing buffer size is not being modified. Now the callback recieves a int* allowing the size to be modified. Since size is encoded as a varint in the internal key for memtable. It might happen that the entire value might have be copied to the new location if the new size varint is smaller than the existing size varint.
* The callback function has 3 functionalities
1. Modify existing buffer inplace, and update size correspondingly. Now to indicate that, Returns 1.
2. Generate a new buffer indicating merged value. Returns 2.
3. Fails to do either of above, based on whatever application logic. Returns 0.

Summary:
I will submit a sequence of diffs that are preparing master branch for column families. There are a lot of implicit assumptions in the code that are making column family implementation hard. If I make the change only in column family branch, it will make merging back to master impossible.
Most of the diffs will be simple code refactorings, so I hope we can have fast turnaround time. Feel free to grab me in person to discuss any of them.
This diff removes number of level check from VersionEdit. It is used only when VersionEdit is read, not written, but has to be set when it is written. I believe it is a right thing to make VersionEdit dumb and check consistency on the caller side. This will also make it much easier to implement Column Families, since different column families can have different number of levels.

maximum number of successive merge operations on a key in the memtable.
This can be used to improve performance of the "get" operation. If many
successive merge operations are performed on a key, the performance of "get"
operations on the key deteriorates, as the value has to be computed for each
"get" operation by applying all the successive merge operations.
