Summary:
In atomic flush, concurrent background flush threads will commit to the MANIFEST
one by one, in the order of the IDs of their picked memtables for all included column
families. Each time, a background flush thread decides whether to wait based on two
criteria:
- Is db stopped? If so, don't wait.
- Am I the one to commit the currently earliest memtable? If so, don't wait and ready to go.
When atomic flush was implemented, error writing to or syncing the MANIFEST would
cause the db to be stopped. Therefore, this background thread does not have to check
for the background error while waiting. If there has been such an error, `DBStopped()`
would have been true, and this thread will **not** wait forever.
After we improved error handling, RocksDB may map an IOError while writing to MANIFEST
to a soft error, if there is no WAL. This requires the background threads to check for
background error while waiting. Otherwise, a background flush thread may wait forever.
