/**
 * A TEST MergeOperator for rocksdb/leveldb that implements string append.
 * It is built using the MergeOperator interface rather than the simpler
 * AssociativeMergeOperator interface. This is useful for testing/benchmarking.
 * While the two operators are semantically the same, all production code
 * should use the StringAppendOperator defined in stringappend.{h,cc}. The
 * operator defined in the present file is primarily for testing.
