Details:
* Fix shared library building.
* Reorganize linking commands so flags like --as-needed can be passed.
* C binding exports version numbers.
* Fix small typos in documention.
Highlights
----------
Mmap at most 1000 files on Posix to improve performance for large databases.
Support for more architectures (thanks to Alexander K.)
Building and porting
--------------------
HP/UX support (issue 126)
AtomicPointer for ia64 (issue 123)
Sparc v9 support (issue 124)
Atomic ops for powerpc
Use -fno-builtin-memcmp only when using g++
Simplify IOS build rules (issue 114)
Use CXXFLAGS instead of CFLAGS when invoking C++ compiler (issue 118)
Fix snappy shared library problem (issue 94)
Fix shared library installation path regression
Endian-ness detection tweak for FreeBSD
Bug fixes
---------
Stop ignoring FLAGS_open_files in db_bench
Make bloom test behavior agnostic to endian-ness
Performance
-----------
Limit number of mmapped files to 1000 to improve perf for large dbs
Do not delay for 1 second on shutdown path (issue 125)
Misc
----
Make InMemoryEnv return a no-op logger
C binding now has a wrapper for free (issue 117)
Add thread-safety annotations
Added an in-process lock table (issue 120)
Make RandomAccessFile and SequentialFile non-copyable
various platforms; improve android port speed.
Avoid static initializer by using a new portability interface for
thread-safe lazy initialization. Custom ports will need to be
extended to implement InitOnce/OnceType/LEVELDB_ONCE_INIT.
Fix endian-ness detection (fixes Powerpc builds).
Build related fixes:
- Support platforms that have unversioned shared libraries.
- Fix IOS build rules.
Android improvements
- Speed up atomic pointers
- Share more code with port_posix.
Do not spin in a tight loop attempting compactions if the file system
is inaccessible (e.g., if kerberos tickets have expired or if it is out
of space).
In particular, we add a new FilterPolicy class. An instance
of this class can be supplied in Options when opening a
database. If supplied, the instance is used to generate
summaries of keys (e.g., a bloom filter) which are placed in
sstables. These summaries are consulted by DB::Get() so we
can avoid reading sstable blocks that are guaranteed to not
contain the key we are looking for.
This change provides one implementation of FilterPolicy
based on bloom filters.
Other changes:
- Updated version number to 1.4.
- Some build tweaks.
- C binding for CompactRange.
- A few more benchmarks: deleteseq, deleterandom, readmissing, seekrandom.
- Minor .gitignore update.
- Replace raw slice comparison with a call to user comparator.
Added test for custom comparators.
- Fix end of namespace comments.
- Fixed bug in picking inputs for a level-0 compaction.
When finding overlapping files, the covered range may expand
as files are added to the input set. We now correctly expand
the range when this happens instead of continuing to use the
old range. For example, suppose L0 contains files with the
following ranges:
F1: a .. d
F2: c .. g
F3: f .. j
and the initial compaction target is F3. We used to search
for range f..j which yielded {F2,F3}. However we now expand
the range as soon as another file is added. In this case,
when F2 is added, we expand the range to c..j and restart the
search. That picks up file F1 as well.
This change fixes a bug related to deleted keys showing up
incorrectly after a compaction as described in Issue 44.
(Sync with upstream @25072954)
- Added DB::CompactRange() method.
Changed manual compaction code so it breaks up compactions of
big ranges into smaller compactions.
Changed the code that pushes the output of memtable compactions
to higher levels to obey the grandparent constraint: i.e., we
must never have a single file in level L that overlaps too
much data in level L+1 (to avoid very expensive L-1 compactions).
Added code to pretty-print internal keys.
- Fixed bug where we would not detect overlap with files in
level-0 because we were incorrectly using binary search
on an array of files with overlapping ranges.
Added "leveldb.sstables" property that can be used to dump
all of the sstables and ranges that make up the db state.
- Removing post_write_snapshot support. Email to leveldb mailing
list brought up no users, just confusion from one person about
what it meant.
- Fixing static_cast char to unsigned on BIG_ENDIAN platforms.
Fixes Issue 35 and Issue 36.
- Comment clarification to address leveldb Issue 37.
- Change license in posix_logger.h to match other files.
- A build problem where uint32 was used instead of uint32_t.
Sync with upstream @24408625
- Fix bug in Iterator::Prev where it would return the wrong key.
Fixes issues 29 and 30.
- Added a tweak to testharness to allow running just some tests.
- Fixing two minor documentation errors based on issues 28 and 25.
- Cleanup; fix namespaces of export-to-C code.
Also fix one "const char*" vs "char*" mismatch.
git-svn-id: https://leveldb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@48 62dab493-f737-651d-591e-8d6aee1b9529
- Added a C binding for LevelDB.
May be useful as a stable ABI that can be used by
programs that keep leveldb in a shared library,
or for JNI API.
- Replaced SQLite's readseq benchmark to a more efficient version.
SQLite readseq speeds increased by about a factor of 2x
from the previous version. Also updated benchmark page to
reflect readseq speed up.

- Based on suggestions on the sqlite-users mailing list,
we removed the superfluous index on the primary key
for SQLite's benchmarks, and turned write-ahead logging
("WAL") on. This led to performance improvements for SQLite.
- Based on a suggestion by Florian Weimer on the leveldb
mailing list, we disabled hard drive write-caching via
hdparm when testing synchronous writes. This led to
performance losses for LevelDB and Kyoto TreeDB.
- Fixed a mistake in 2.A.->Random where the bar sizes
were switched for Kyoto TreeDB and SQLite.

- LevelDB patch for FreeBSD. This resolves Issue 22.
Contributed by dforsythe (thanks!).
- Removing Chromium-specific files.
They are now going to live in the Chromium repository.
- Adding a benchmark page comparing LevelDB performance
to SQLite and Kyoto Cabinet's TreeDB, along with
code to generate the benchmarks.
Thanks to Kevin Tseng for compiling the benchmarks,
and Scott Hess and Mikio Hirabayashi for their
help and advice.
