Summary:
Right now block based table iterator is used as both of iterating data for block based table, and for the index iterator for partitioend index. This was initially convenient for introducing a new iterator and block type for new index format, while reducing code change. However, these two usage doesn't go with each other very well. For example, Prev() is never called for partitioned index iterator, and some other complexity is maintained in block based iterators, which is not needed for index iterator but maintainers will always need to reason about it. Furthermore, the template usage is not following Google C++ Style which we are following, and makes a large chunk of code tangled together. This commit separate the two iterators. Right now, here is what it is done:
1. Copy the block based iterator code into partitioned index iterator, and de-template them.
2. Remove some code not needed for partitioned index. The upper bound check and tricks are removed. We never tested performance for those tricks when partitioned index is enabled in the first place. It's unlikelyl to generate performance regression, as creating new partitioned index block is much rarer than data blocks.
3. Separate out the prefetch logic to a helper class and both classes call them.
This commit will enable future follow-ups. One direction is that we might separate index iterator interface for data blocks and index blocks, as they are quite different.
