Summary:
Currently, when a certain number of level0 files (level0_slowdown_writes_trigger) are present, RocksDB will slow down each write by 1ms. There is a second limit of level0 files at which RocksDB will stop writes altogether (level0_stop_writes_trigger).
This patch enables the user to supply a third parameter specifying the number of files at which Rocks will start slowing down writes (level0_start_slowdown_writes). When this number is reached, Rocks will slow down writes as a quadratic function of level0_slowdown_writes_trigger - num_level0_files.
For some workloads, this improves latency and throughput. I will post some stats momentarily in https://our.intern.facebook.com/intern/tasks/?t=2613384.
Test Plan:
make -j32 check
./db_stress
./db_bench
