Summary:
This is a huge diff and it was hectic, but the idea is actually quite simple. Every operation (Put, Get, etc.) done on default column family in DBTest is now forwarded to non-default ("pikachu"). The good news is that we had zero test failures! Column families look stable so far.
One interesting test that I adapted for column families is MultiThreadedTest. I replaced every Put() with a WriteBatch writing to all column families concurrently. Every Put in the write batch contains unique_id. Instead of Get() I do a multiget across all column families with the same key. If atomicity holds, I expect to see the same unique_id in all column families.
Test Plan: This is a test!

* As long as column family handle is alive, client can do whatever he wants with it, even drop it
* Dropped column family can still be read from (using the column family handle)
* Added a new call CloseColumnFamily(). Client has to close all column families that he has opened before deleting the DB
* As soon as column family is closed, any calls to DB using that column family handle will fail (also any outstanding calls)
Internally:
* Ref-counting ColumnFamilyData
* New thread-safety for ColumnFamilySet
* Dropped column families are now completely dropped and their memory cleaned-up

Summary:
Adapting table cache to column families is interesting. We want table cache to be global LRU, so if some column families are use not as often as others, we want them to be evicted from cache. However, current TableCache object also constructs tables on its own. If table is not found in the cache, TableCache automatically creates new table. We want each column family to be able to specify different table factory.
To solve the problem, we still have a single LRU, but we provide the LRUCache object to TableCache on construction. We have one TableCache per column family, but the underyling cache is shared by all TableCache objects.
This allows us to have a global LRU, but still be able to support different table factories for different column families. Also, in the future it will also be able to support different directories for different column families.

Summary:
MemTableListVersion is to MemTableList what Version is to VersionSet. I took almost the same ideas to develop MemTableListVersion. The reason is to have copying std::list done in background, while flushing, rather than in foreground (MultiGet() and NewIterator()) under a mutex! Also, whenever we copied MemTableList, we copied also some MemTableList metadata (flush_requested_, commit_in_progress_, etc.), which was wasteful.
This diff avoids std::list copy under a mutex in both MultiGet() and NewIterator(). I created a small database with some number of immutable memtables, and creating 100.000 iterators in a single-thread (!) decreased from {188739, 215703, 198028} to {154352, 164035, 159817}. A lot of the savings come from code under a mutex, so we should see much higher savings with multiple threads. Creating new iterator is very important to LogDevice team.
I also think this diff will make SuperVersion obsolete for performance reasons. I will try it in the next diff. SuperVersion gave us huge savings on Get() code path, but I think that most of the savings came from copying MemTableList under a mutex. If we had MemTableListVersion, we would never need to copy the entire object (like we still do in NewIterator() and MultiGet())
Test Plan: `make check` works. I will also do `make valgrind_check` before commit

Summary:
This diff does two things:
* Rethinks how we call Recover() with read_only option. Before, we call it with pointer to memtable where we'd like to apply those changes to. This memtable is set in db_impl_readonly.cc and it's actually DBImpl::mem_. Why don't we just apply updates to mem_ right away? It seems more intuitive.
* Changes when we apply updates to manifest. Before, the process is to recover all the logs, flush it to sst files and then do one giant commit that atomically adds all recovered sst files and sets the next log number. This works good enough, but causes some small troubles for my column family approach, since I can't have one VersionEdit apply to more than single column family[1]. The change here is to commit the files recovered from logs right away. Here is the state of the world before the change:
1. Recover log 5, add new sst files to edit
2. Recover log 7, add new sst files to edit
3. Recover log 8, add new sst files to edit
4. Commit all added sst files to manifest and mark log files 5, 7 and 8 as recoverd (via SetLogNumber(9) function)
After the change, we'll do:
1. Recover log 5, commit the new sst files and set log 5 as recovered
2. Recover log 7, commit the new sst files and set log 7 as recovered
3. Recover log 8, commit the new sst files and set log 8 as recovered
The added (small) benefit is that if we fail after (2), the new recovery will only have to recover log 8. In previous case, we'll have to restart the recovery from the beginning. The bigger benefit will be to enable easier integration of multiple column families in Recovery code path.
[1] I'm happy to dicuss this decison, but I believe this is the cleanest way to go. It also makes backward compatibility much easier. We don't have a requirement of adding multiple column families atomically.

Summary:
The way DBImpl::TEST_CompactRange() throttles down the number of bg compactions
can cause it to deadlock when CompactRange() is called concurrently from
multiple threads. Imagine a following scenario with only two threads
(max_background_compactions is 10 and bg_compaction_scheduled_ is initially 0):
1. Thread #1 increments bg_compaction_scheduled_ (to LargeNumber), sets
bg_compaction_scheduled_ to 9 (newvalue), schedules the compaction
(bg_compaction_scheduled_ is now 10) and waits for it to complete.
2. Thread #2 calls TEST_CompactRange(), increments bg_compaction_scheduled_
(now LargeNumber + 10) and waits on a cv for bg_compaction_scheduled_ to
drop to LargeNumber.
3. BG thread completes the first manual compaction, decrements
bg_compaction_scheduled_ and wakes up all threads waiting on bg_cv_.
Thread #1 runs, increments bg_compaction_scheduled_ by LargeNumber again
(now 2*LargeNumber + 9). Since that's more than LargeNumber + newvalue,
thread #2 also goes to sleep (waiting on bg_cv_), without resetting
bg_compaction_scheduled_.
This diff attempts to address the problem by introducing a new counter
bg_manual_only_ (when positive, MaybeScheduleFlushOrCompaction() will only
schedule manual compactions).
Test Plan:
I could pretty much consistently reproduce the deadlock with a program that
calls CompactRange(nullptr, nullptr) immediately after Write() from multiple
threads. This no longer happens with this patch.

<This diff is for Column Family branch>
Sharing some of the work I've done so far. This diff compiles and passes the tests.
The biggest change is in options.h - I broke down Options into two parts - DBOptions and ColumnFamilyOptions. DBOptions is DB-specific (env, create_if_missing, block_cache, etc.) and ColumnFamilyOptions is column family-specific (all compaction options, compresion options, etc.). Note that this does not break backwards compatibility at all.
Further, I created DBWithColumnFamily which inherits DB interface and adds new functions with column family support. Clients can transparently switch to DBWithColumnFamily and it will not break their backwards compatibility.
There are few methods worth checking out: ListColumnFamilies(), MultiNewIterator(), MultiGet() and GetSnapshot(). [GetSnapshot() returns the snapshot across all column families for now - I think that's what we agreed on]
Finally, I made small changes to WriteBatch so we are able to atomically insert data across column families.
Please provide feedback.

Summary:
In this diff I present you BackupableDB v1. You can easily use it to backup your DB and it will do incremental snapshots for you.
Let's first describe how you would use BackupableDB. It's inheriting StackableDB interface so you can easily construct it with your DB object -- it will add a method RollTheSnapshot() to the DB object. When you call RollTheSnapshot(), current snapshot of the DB will be stored in the backup dir. To restore, you can just call RestoreDBFromBackup() on a BackupableDB (which is a static method) and it will restore all files from the backup dir. In the next version, it will even support automatic backuping every X minutes.
There are multiple things you can configure:
1. backup_env and db_env can be different, which is awesome because then you can easily backup to HDFS or wherever you feel like.
2. sync - if true, it *guarantees* backup consistency on machine reboot
3. number of snapshots to keep - this will keep last N snapshots around if you want, for some reason, be able to restore from an earlier snapshot. All the backuping is done in incremental fashion - if we already have 00010.sst, we will not copy it again. *IMPORTANT* -- This is based on assumption that 00010.sst never changes - two files named 00010.sst from the same DB will always be exactly the same. Is this true? I always copy manifest, current and log files.
4. You can decide if you want to flush the memtables before you backup, or you're fine with backing up the log files -- either way, you get a complete and consistent view of the database at a time of backup.
5. More things you can find in BackupableDBOptions
Here is the directory structure I use:
backup_dir/CURRENT_SNAPSHOT - just 4 bytes holding the latest snapshot
0, 1, 2, ... - files containing serialized version of each snapshot - containing a list of files
files/*.sst - sst files shared between snapshots - if one snapshot references 00010.sst and another one needs to backup it from the DB, it will just reference the same file
files/ 0/, 1/, 2/, ... - snapshot directories containing private snapshot files - current, manifest and log files
All the files are ref counted and deleted immediatelly when they get out of scope.
Some other stuff in this diff:
1. Added GetEnv() method to the DB. Discussed with @haobo and we agreed that it seems right thing to do.
2. Fixed StackableDB interface. The way it was set up before, I was not able to implement BackupableDB.
Test Plan:
