Summary:
The patch adds basic garbage collection support to the integrated BlobDB
implementation. Valid blobs residing in the oldest blob files are relocated
as they are encountered during compaction. The threshold that determines
which blob files qualify is computed based on the configuration option
`blob_garbage_collection_age_cutoff`, which was introduced in #7661 .
Once a blob is retrieved for the purposes of relocation, it passes through the
same logic that extracts large values to blob files in general. This means that
if, for instance, the size threshold for key-value separation (`min_blob_size`)
got changed or writing blob files got disabled altogether, it is possible for the
value to be moved back into the LSM tree. In particular, one way to re-inline
all blob values if needed would be to perform a full manual compaction with
`enable_blob_files` set to `false`, `enable_blob_garbage_collection` set to
`true`, and `blob_file_garbage_collection_age_cutoff` set to `1.0`.

Some TODOs that I plan to address in separate PRs:

1) We'll have to measure the amount of new garbage in each blob file and log
`BlobFileGarbage` entries as part of the compaction job's `VersionEdit`.
(For the time being, blob files are cleaned up solely based on the
`oldest_blob_file_number` relationships.)
2) When compression is used for blobs, the compression type hasn't changed,
and the blob still qualifies for being written to a blob file, we can simply copy
the compressed blob to the new file instead of going through decompression
and compression.
3) We need to update the formula for computing write amplification to account
for the amount of data read from blob files as part of GC.

RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage

CircleCI Status TravisCI Status Appveyor Build status PPC64le Build Status

RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team. It is built on earlier work on LevelDB by Sanjay Ghemawat (sanjay@google.com) and Jeff Dean (jeff@google.com)

This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast key-value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives. It has a Log-Structured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs between Write-Amplification-Factor (WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF) and Space-Amplification-Factor (SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions, making it especially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.

Start with example usage here: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/tree/master/examples

See the github wiki for more explanation.

The public interface is in include/. Callers should not include or rely on the details of any other header files in this package. Those internal APIs may be changed without warning.

Design discussions are conducted in https://www.facebook.com/groups/rocksdb.dev/ and https://rocksdb.slack.com/
