Summary:
Updated db_bench and utilities/merge_operators.h to allow for dynamic benchmarking
of merge operators in db_bench. Added a new test (--benchmarks=mergerandom), which performs
a bunch of random Merge() operations over random keys. Also added a "--merge_operator=" flag
so that the tester can easily benchmark different merge operators. Currently supports
the PutOperator and UInt64Add operator. Support for stringappend or list append may come later.
Test Plan:
1. make db_bench
2. Test the PutOperator (simulating Put) as follows:
./db_bench --benchmarks=fillrandom,readrandom,updaterandom,readrandom,mergerandom,readrandom --merge_operator=put
--threads=2
3. Test the UInt64AddOperator (simulating numeric addition) similarly:
./db_bench --value_size=8 --benchmarks=fillrandom,readrandom,updaterandom,readrandom,mergerandom,readrandom
--merge_operator=uint64add --threads=2
