Summary:
Performing unordered writes in rocksdb when unordered_write option is set to true. When enabled the writes to memtable are done without joining any write thread. This offers much higher write throughput since the upcoming writes would not have to wait for the slowest memtable write to finish. The tradeoff is that the writes visible to a snapshot might change over time. If the application cannot tolerate that, it should implement its own mechanisms to work around that. Using TransactionDB with WRITE_PREPARED write policy is one way to achieve that. Doing so increases the max throughput by 2.2x without however compromising the snapshot guarantees.
The patch is prepared based on an original by siying
Existing unit tests are extended to include unordered_write option.

Benchmark Results:
```
TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm/ ./db_bench_unordered --benchmarks=fillrandom --threads=32 --num=10000000 -max_write_buffer_number=16 --max_background_jobs=64 --batch_size=8 --writes=3000000 -level0_file_num_compaction_trigger=99999 --level0_slowdown_writes_trigger=99999 --level0_stop_writes_trigger=99999 -enable_pipelined_write=false -disable_auto_compactions  --unordered_write=1
```
With WAL
- Vanilla RocksDB: 78.6 MB/s
- WRITER_PREPARED with unordered_write: 177.8 MB/s (2.2x)
- unordered_write: 368.9 MB/s (4.7x with relaxed snapshot guarantees)

Without WAL
- Vanilla RocksDB: 111.3 MB/s
- WRITER_PREPARED with unordered_write: 259.3 MB/s MB/s (2.3x)
- unordered_write: 645.6 MB/s (5.8x with relaxed snapshot guarantees)

- WRITER_PREPARED with unordered_write disable concurrency control: 185.3 MB/s MB/s (2.35x)

Limitations:
- The feature is not yet extended to `max_successive_merges` > 0. The feature is also incompatible with `enable_pipelined_write` = true as well as with `allow_concurrent_memtable_write` = false.

Summary:
Part of compaction cpu goes to processing snapshot list, the larger the list the bigger the overhead. Although the lifetime of most of the snapshots is much shorter than the lifetime of compactions, the compaction conservatively operates on the list of snapshots that it initially obtained. This patch allows the snapshot list to be updated via a callback if the compaction is taking long. This should let the compaction to continue more efficiently with much smaller snapshot list.
For simplicity, to avoid the feature is disabled in two cases: i) When more than one sub-compaction are sharing the same snapshot list, ii) when Range Delete is used in which the range delete aggregator has its own copy of snapshot list.
This fixes the reverted https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/5099 issue with range deletes.

Summary:
- By providing the "env" field in any text-based options (i.e., string, map, or file), we can use `NewCustomObject` to deserialize the text value into an actual `Env` object.
- Currently factory functions for `Env` registered with object registry should only return pointer to static `Env` objects. That's because `DBOptions::env` is a raw pointer so we cannot easily delegate cleanup.
- Note I did not add `env` to `db_option_type_info`. It wasn't needed for (de)serialization, and I believe we don't want to do verification on `env`, even by checking name. That's because the user should be able to copy their DB from Linux to Windows, change envs, and not see an option verification error.

Summary:
The existing implementation does not guarantee bytes reach disk every `bytes_per_sync` when writing SST files, or every `wal_bytes_per_sync` when writing WALs. This can cause confusing behavior for users who enable this feature to avoid large syncs during flush and compaction, but then end up hitting them anyways.

My understanding of the existing behavior is we used `sync_file_range` with `SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE` to submit ranges for async writeback, such that we could continue processing the next range of bytes while that I/O is happening. I believe we can preserve that benefit while also limiting how far the processing can get ahead of the I/O, which prevents huge syncs from happening when the file finishes.

Consider this `sync_file_range` usage: `sync_file_range(fd_, 0, static_cast<off_t>(offset + nbytes), SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE | SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE)`. Expanding the range to start at 0 and adding the `SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE` flag causes any pending writeback (like from a previous call to `sync_file_range`) to finish before it proceeds to submit the latest `nbytes` for writeback. The latest `nbytes` are still written back asynchronously, unless processing exceeds I/O speed, in which case the following `sync_file_range` will need to wait on it.

There is a second change in this PR to use `fdatasync` when `sync_file_range` is unavailable (determined statically) or has some known problem with the underlying filesystem (determined dynamically).

The above two changes only apply when the user enables a new option, `strict_bytes_per_sync`.

Summary:
Introduce BlockBasedTableOptions::index_shortening to give users control on which key shortening techniques to be used in building index blocks. Before this patch, both separators and successor keys where shortened in indexes. With this patch, the default is set to kShortenSeparators to only shorten the separators. Since each index block has many separators and only one successor (last key), the change should not have negative impact on index block size. However it should prevent many unnecessary block loads where due to approximation introduced by shorted successor, seek would land us to the previous block and then fix it by moving to the next one.

Summary:
Introducing Periodic Compactions.

This feature allows all the files in a CF to be periodically compacted. It could help in catching any corruptions that could creep into the DB proactively as every file is constantly getting re-compacted.  And also, of course, it helps to cleanup data older than certain threshold.

- Introduced a new option `periodic_compaction_time` to control how long a file can live without being compacted in a CF.
- This works across all levels.
- The files are put in the same level after going through the compaction. (Related files in the same level are picked up as `ExpandInputstoCleanCut` is used).
- Compaction filters, if any, are invoked as usual.
- A new table property, `file_creation_time`, is introduced to implement this feature. This property is set to the time at which the SST file was created (and that time is given by the underlying Env/OS).

This feature can be enabled on its own, or in conjunction with `ttl`. It is possible to set a different time threshold for the bottom level when used in conjunction with ttl. Since `ttl` works only on 0 to last but one levels, you could set `ttl` to, say, 1 day, and `periodic_compaction_time` to, say, 7 days. Since `ttl < periodic_compaction_time` all files in last but one levels keep getting picked up based on ttl, and almost never based on periodic_compaction_time. The files in the bottom level get picked up for compaction based on `periodic_compaction_time`.

Summary:
Just like ReadOptions::background_purge_on_iterator_cleanup but for ColumnFamilyHandle instead of Iterator.

In our use case we sometimes call ColumnFamilyHandle's destructor from low-latency threads, and sometimes it blocks the thread for a few seconds deleting the files. To avoid that, we can either offload ColumnFamilyHandle's destruction to a background thread on our side, or add this option on rocksdb side. This PR does the latter, to be consistent with how we solve exactly the same problem for iterators using background_purge_on_iterator_cleanup option.

(EDIT: It's avoid_unnecessary_blocking_io now, and affects both CF drops and iterator destructors.)
I'm not quite comfortable with having two separate options (background_purge_on_iterator_cleanup and background_purge_on_cf_cleanup) for such a rarely used thing. Maybe we should merge them? Rename background_purge_on_cf_cleanup to something like delete_files_on_background_threads_only or avoid_blocking_io_in_unexpected_places, and make iterators use it instead of the one in ReadOptions? I can do that here if you guys think it's better.

Summary:
This is a feature to sample data-block compressibility and and report them as stats. 1 in N (tunable) blocks is sampled for compressibility using two algorithms:
1. lz4 or snappy for fast compression
2. zstd or zlib for slow but higher compression.

The stats are reported to the caller as raw-bytes and compressed-bytes. The block continues to be compressed for storage using the specified CompressionType.

The db_bench_tool how has a command line option for specifying the sampling rate. It's default value is 0 (no sampling). To test the overhead for a certain value, users can compare the performance of db_bench_tool, varying the sampling rate. It is unlikely to have a noticeable impact for high values like 20.

This PR adds public `GetStatsHistory` API to retrieve stats history in the form of an std map. The key of the map is the timestamp in microseconds when the stats snapshot is taken, the value is another std map from stats name to stats value (stored in std string). Two DBOptions are introduced: `stats_persist_period_sec` (default 10 minutes) controls the intervals between two snapshots are taken; `max_stats_history_count` (default 10) controls the max number of history snapshots to keep in memory. RocksDB will stop collecting stats snapshots if `stats_persist_period_sec` is set to 0.

Summary:
Add hash index support to data blocks, which helps to reduce the CPU utilization of point-lookup operations. This feature is backward compatible with the data block created without the hash index. It is disabled by default unless `BlockBasedTableOptions::data_block_index_type` is set to `data_block_index_type = kDataBlockBinaryAndHash.`

The DB size would be bigger with the hash index option as a hash table is added at the end of each data block. If the hash utilization ratio is 1:1, the space overhead is one byte per key. The hash table utilization ratio is adjustable using `BlockBasedTableOptions::data_block_hash_table_util_ratio`. A lower utilization ratio will improve more on the point-lookup efficiency, but take more space too.

Summary:
In `cf_options_type_info`, the deprecated options are all considered to have offset zero in the `MutableCFOptions` struct. Previously we weren't checking in `GetMutableOptionsFromStrings` whether the provided option was deprecated or not and simply writing the provided value to the offset specified by `cf_options_type_info`. That meant setting any deprecated option would overwrite the first element in the struct, which is `write_buffer_size`. `db_stress` hit this often since it calls `SetOptions` with `soft_rate_limit=0` and `hard_rate_limit=0`, which are both deprecated so cause `write_buffer_size` to be set to zero, which causes it to crash on the following assertion:

```
db_stress: db/memtable.cc:106: rocksdb::MemTable::MemTable(const rocksdb::InternalKeyComparator&, const rocksdb::ImmutableCFOptions&, const rocksdb::MutableCFOptions&, rocksdb::WriteBufferManager*, rocksdb::SequenceNumber, uint32_t): Assertion `!ShouldScheduleFlush()' failed.
```

We fix it by skipping deprecated options (and logging a warning) when users provide them to `SetOptions`. I didn't want to fail the call for compatibility reasons.

Summary:
In this change, an option to set different paths for different column families is added.
This option is set via cf_paths setting of ColumnFamilyOptions. This option will work in a similar fashion to db_paths setting. Cf_paths is a vector of Dbpath values which contains a pair of the absolute path and target size. Multiple levels in a Column family can go to different paths if cf_paths has more than one path.
To maintain backward compatibility, if cf_paths is not specified for a column family, db_paths setting will be used. Note that, if db_paths setting is also not specified, RocksDB already has code to use db_name as the only path.

Changes :
1) A new member "cf_paths" is added to ImmutableCfOptions. This is set, based on cf_paths setting of ColumnFamilyOptions and db_paths setting of ImmutableDbOptions.  This member is used to identify the path information whenever files are accessed.
2) Validation checks are added for cf_paths setting based on existing checks for db_paths setting.
3) DestroyDB, PurgeObsoleteFiles etc. are edited to support multiple cf_paths.
4) Unit tests are added appropriately.

Summary:
Level Compaction with TTL.

As of today, a file could exist in the LSM tree without going through the compaction process for a really long time if there are no updates to the data in the file's key range. For example, in certain use cases, the keys are not actually "deleted"; instead they are just set to empty values. There might not be any more writes to this "deleted" key range, and if so, such data could remain in the LSM for a really long time resulting in wasted space.

Introducing a TTL could solve this problem. Files (and, in turn, data) older than TTL will be scheduled for compaction when there is no other background work. This will make the data go through the regular compaction process and get rid of old unwanted data.
This also has the (good) side-effect of all the data in the non-bottommost level being newer than ttl, and all data in the bottommost level older than ttl. It could lead to more writes while reducing space.

This functionality can be controlled by the newly introduced column family option -- ttl.

TODO for later:
- Make ttl mutable
- Extend TTL to Universal compaction as well? (TTL is already supported in FIFO)
- Maybe deprecate CompactionOptionsFIFO.ttl in favor of this new ttl option.

Summary:
The motivation for this PR is to add to RocksDB support for differential (incremental) snapshots, as snapshot of the DB changes between two points in time (one can think of it as diff between to sequence numbers, or the diff D which can be thought of as an SST file or just set of KVs that can be applied to sequence number S1 to get the database to the state at sequence number S2).

This feature would be useful for various distributed storages layers built on top of RocksDB, as it should help reduce resources (time and network bandwidth) needed to recover and rebuilt DB instances as replicas in the context of distributed storages.

From the API standpoint that would like client app requesting iterator between (start seqnum) and current DB state, and reading the "diff".

This is a very draft PR for initial review in the discussion on the approach, i'm going to rework some parts and keep updating the PR.

For now, what's done here according to initial discussions:

Preserving deletes:
 - We want to be able to optionally preserve recent deletes for some defined period of time, so that if a delete came in recently and might need to be included in the next incremental snapshot it would't get dropped by a compaction. This is done by adding new param to Options (preserve deletes flag) and new variable to DB Impl where we keep track of the sequence number after which we don't want to drop tombstones, even if they are otherwise eligible for deletion.
 - I also added a new API call for clients to be able to advance this cutoff seqnum after which we drop deletes; i assume it's more flexible to let clients control this, since otherwise we'd need to keep some kind of timestamp < -- > seqnum mapping inside the DB, which sounds messy and painful to support. Clients could make use of it by periodically calling GetLatestSequenceNumber(), noting the timestamp, doing some calculation and figuring out by how much we need to advance the cutoff seqnum.
 - Compaction codepath in compaction_iterator.cc has been modified to avoid dropping tombstones with seqnum > cutoff seqnum.

Iterator changes:
 - couple params added to ReadOptions, to optionally allow client to request internal keys instead of user keys (so that client can get the latest value of a key, be it delete marker or a put), as well as min timestamp and min seqnum.

TableCache changes:
 - I modified table_cache code to be able to quickly exclude SST files from iterators heep if creation_time on the file is less then iter_start_ts as passed in ReadOptions. That would help a lot in some DB settings (like reading very recent data only or using FIFO compactions), but not so much for universal compaction with more or less long iterator time span.

What's left:

 - Still looking at how to best plug that inside DBIter codepath. So far it seems that FindNextUserKeyInternal only parses values as UserKeys, and iter->key() call generally returns user key. Can we add new API to DBIter as internal_key(), and modify this internal method to optionally set saved_key_ to point to the full internal key? I don't need to store actual seqnum there, but I do need to store type.
