Summary:
Given that index value is a BlockHandle, which is basically an <offset, size> pair we can apply delta encoding on the values. The first value at each index restart interval encoded the full BlockHandle but the rest encode only the size. Refer to IndexBlockIter::DecodeCurrentValue for the detail of the encoding. This reduces the index size which helps using the  block cache more efficiently. The feature is enabled with using format_version 4.

The feature comes with a bit of cpu overhead which should be paid back by the higher cache hits due to smaller index block size.
Results with sysbench read-only using 4k blocks and using 16 index restart interval:

Summary:
CompactionIterator invoke MergeHelper::MergeUntil() to do partial merge between snapshot boundaries. Previously it only depend on sequence number to tell snapshot boundary, but we also need to make use of snapshot_checker to verify visibility of the merge operands to the snapshots. For example, say there is a snapshot with seq = 2 but only can see data with seq <= 1. There are three merges, each with seq = 1, 2, 3. A correct compaction output would be (1),(2+3). Without taking snapshot_checker into account when generating merge result, compaction will generate output (1+2),(3).

By filtering uncommitted keys with read callback, the read path already take care of merges well and don't need additional updates.

Summary:
Added a function `MergeOperator::DoesAllowSingleMergeOperand()` to allow invoking a merge operator even with a single merge operand, if overriden.

This is needed for Cassandra-on-RocksDB work. All Cassandra writes are through merges and this will allow a single merge-value to be updated in the merge-operator invoked via a compaction, if needed, due to an expired TTL.

Summary:
DB shutdown aborts running compactions by setting an atomic shutting_down=true that CompactionJob periodically checks. Without this PR it checks it before processing every _output_ value. If compaction filter filters everything out, the compaction is uninterruptible. This PR adds checks for shutting_down on every _input_ value (in CompactionIterator and MergeHelper).

Summary:
This adds the ability for compaction filter to say "drop this key-value, and also drop everything up to key x". This will cause the compaction to seek input iterator to x, without reading the data. This can make compaction much faster when large consecutive chunks of data are filtered out. See the changes in include/rocksdb/compaction_filter.h for the new API.

Along the way this diff also adds ability for compaction filter changing merge operands, similar to how it can change values; we're not going to use this feature, it just seemed easier and cleaner to implement it than to document that it's not implemented :)

The diff is not as big as it may seem, about half of the lines are a test.

Summary:
This diff introduces RangeDelAggregator, which takes ownership of iterators
provided to it via AddTombstones(). The tombstones are organized in a two-level
map (snapshot stripe -> begin key -> tombstone). Tombstone creation avoids data
copy by holding Slices returned by the iterator, which remain valid thanks to pinning.

For compaction, we create a hierarchical range tombstone iterator with structure
matching the iterator over compaction input data. An aggregator based on that
iterator is used by CompactionIterator to determine which keys are covered by
range tombstones. In case of merge operand, the same aggregator is used by
MergeHelper. Upon finishing each file in the compaction, relevant range tombstones
are added to the output file's range tombstone metablock and file boundaries are
updated accordingly.

To check whether a key is covered by range tombstone, RangeDelAggregator::ShouldDelete()
considers tombstones in the key's snapshot stripe. When this function is used outside of
compaction, it also checks newer stripes, which can contain covering tombstones. Currently
the intra-stripe check involves a linear scan; however, in the future we plan to collapse ranges
within a stripe such that binary search can be used.

RangeDelAggregator::AddToBuilder() adds all range tombstones in the table's key-range
to a new table's range tombstone meta-block. Since range tombstones may fall in the gap
between files, we may need to extend some files' key-ranges. The strategy is (1) first file
extends as far left as possible and other files do not extend left, (2) all files extend right
until either the start of the next file or the end of the last range tombstone in the gap,
whichever comes first.

One other notable change is adding release/move semantics to ScopedArenaIterator
such that it can be used to transfer ownership of an arena-allocated iterator, similar to
how unique_ptr is used for malloc'd data.

Summary:
This diff update the code to pin the merge operator operands while the merge operation is done, so that we can eliminate the memcpy cost, to do that we need a new public API for FullMerge that replace the std::deque<std::string> with std::vector<Slice>

This diff is stacked on top of D56493 and D56511

In this diff we
- Update FullMergeV2 arguments to be encapsulated in MergeOperationInput and MergeOperationOutput which will make it easier to add new arguments in the future
- Replace std::deque<std::string> with std::vector<Slice> to pass operands
- Replace MergeContext std::deque with std::vector (based on a simple benchmark I ran https://gist.github.com/IslamAbdelRahman/78fc86c9ab9f52b1df791e58943fb187)
- Allow FullMergeV2 output to be an existing operand

The behavior in this diff is a bit simpler than in D42555:
* only merge operators are passed through FilterMergeValue(). If fitler function returns true, the merge operator is ignored
* compaction filter is *not* called on: 1) results of merge operations and 2) base values that are getting merged with merge operands (the second case was also true in previous diff)

Do we also need a compaction filter to get called on merge results?

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)

Summary:
While working on supporting mixing merge operators with
single deletes ( https://reviews.facebook.net/D43179 ),
I realized that returning and dealing with merge results
can be made simpler. Submitting this as a separate diff
because it is not directly related to single deletes.

Before, callers of merge helper had to retrieve the merge
result in one of two ways depending on whether the merge
was successful or not (success = result of merge was single
kTypeValue). For successful merges, the caller could query
the resulting key/value pair and for unsuccessful merges,
the result could be retrieved in the form of two deques of
keys and values. However, with single deletes, a successful merge
does not return a single key/value pair (if merge
operands are merged with a single delete, we have to generate
a value and keep the original single delete around to make
sure that we are not accidentially producing a key overwrite).
In addition, the two existing call sites of the merge
helper were taking the same actions independently from whether
the merge was successful or not, so this patch simplifies that.

to handle cases where the MergeOperator is not associative. It does so by stacking
up merge operations while scanning through the key history (i.e.: during Get() or
Compaction), until a valid Put/Delete/end-of-history is encountered; it then
applies all of the merge operations in the correct sequence starting with the
base/sentinel value.

I have also introduced an "AssociativeMerge" function which allows the user to
take advantage of associative merge operations (such as in the case of counters).
The implementation will always attempt to merge the operations/operands themselves
together when they are encountered, and will resort to the "stacking" method if
and only if the "associative-merge" fails.

This implementation is conjectured to allow MergeOperator to handle the general
case, while still providing the user with the ability to take advantage of certain
efficiencies in their own merge-operator / data-structure.

NOTE: This is a preliminary diff. This must still go through a lot of review,
revision, and testing. Feedback welcome!

Test Plan:
  -This is a preliminary diff. I have only just begun testing/debugging it.
  -I will be testing this with the existing MergeOperator use-cases and unit-tests
(counters, string-append, and redis-lists)
  -I will be "desk-checking" and walking through the code with the help gdb.
  -I will find a way of stress-testing the new interface / implementation using
db_bench, db_test, merge_test, and/or db_stress.
  -I will ensure that my tests cover all cases: Get-Memtable,
Get-Immutable-Memtable, Get-from-Disk, Iterator-Range-Scan, Flush-Memtable-to-L0,
Compaction-L0-L1, Compaction-Ln-L(n+1), Put/Delete found, Put/Delete not-found,
end-of-history, end-of-file, etc.
  -A lot of feedback from the reviewers.

Summary:
This diff introduces a new Merge operation into rocksdb.
The purpose of this review is mostly getting feedback from the team (everyone please) on the design.

Please focus on the four files under include/leveldb/, as they spell the client visible interface change.
include/leveldb/db.h
include/leveldb/merge_operator.h
include/leveldb/options.h
include/leveldb/write_batch.h

Please go over local/my_test.cc carefully, as it is a concerete use case.

Please also review the impelmentation files to see if the straw man implementation makes sense.

Note that, the diff does pass all make check and truly supports forward iterator over db and a version
of Get that's based on iterator.

Future work:
- Integration with compaction
- A raw Get implementation

I am working on a wiki that explains the design and implementation choices, but coding comes
just naturally and I think it might be a good idea to share the code earlier. The code is
heavily commented.

Test Plan: run all local tests
