Summary:
Fix how CompactionIterator::findEarliestVisibleSnapshots handles released snapshot. It fixing the two scenarios:
Scenario 1:
key1 has two values v1 and v2. There're two snapshots s1 and s2 taken after v1 and v2 are committed. Right after compaction output v2, s1 is released. Now findEarliestVisibleSnapshot may see s1 being released, and return the next snapshot, which is s2. That's larger than v2's earliest visible snapshot, which was s1.
The fix: the only place we check against last snapshot and current key snapshot is when we decide whether to compact out a value if it is hidden by a later value. In the check if we see current snapshot is even larger than last snapshot, we know last snapshot is released, and we are safe to compact out current key.
Scenario 2:
key1 has two values v1 and v2. there are two snapshots s1 and s2 taken after v1 and v2 are committed. During compaction before we process the key, s1 is released. When compaction process v2, snapshot checker may return kSnapshotReleased, and the earliest visible snapshot for v2 become s2. When compaction process v1, snapshot checker may return kIsInSnapshot (for WritePrepared transaction, it could be because v1 is still in commit cache). The result will become inconsistent here.
The fix: remember the set of released snapshots ever reported by snapshot checker, and ignore them when finding result for findEarliestVisibleSnapshot.
