    Support for SingleDelete() · 014fd55a

    Summary:
    This patch fixes #7460559. It introduces SingleDelete as a new database
    operation. This operation can be used to delete keys that were never
    overwritten (no put following another put of the same key). If an overwritten
    key is single deleted the behavior is undefined. Single deletion of a
    non-existent key has no effect but multiple consecutive single deletions are
    not allowed (see limitations).
    
    In contrast to the conventional Delete() operation, the deletion entry is
    removed along with the value when the two are lined up in a compaction. Note:
    The semantics are similar to @igor's prototype that allowed to have this
    behavior on the granularity of a column family (
    https://reviews.facebook.net/D42093 ). This new patch, however, is more
    aggressive when it comes to removing tombstones: It removes the SingleDelete
    together with the value whenever there is no snapshot between them while the
    older patch only did this when the sequence number of the deletion was older
    than the earliest snapshot.
    
    Most of the complex additions are in the Compaction Iterator, all other changes
    should be relatively straightforward. The patch also includes basic support for
    single deletions in db_stress and db_bench.
    
    Limitations:
    - Not compatible with cuckoo hash tables
    - Single deletions cannot be used in combination with merges and normal
      deletions on the same key (other keys are not affected by this)
    - Consecutive single deletions are currently not allowed (and older version of
      this patch supported this so it could be resurrected if needed)
