Prior implementation would always try to reuse the manifest, even if reuse_logs
was false (the default). This was missed because the stock
Env::NewAppendableFile implementation returns false forcing the creation of a
new log.

(Based on a suggestion by cmumford.)

"open" benchmark on my workstation speeds up significantly since we
can now avoid three fdatasync calls and a compaction per open:

  Before: ~80000 microseconds
  After:    ~130 microseconds

Details:

(1) Added Options::reuse_logs (currently defaults to false) to control
new behavior.  The intention is to change the default to true after some
baking.

(2) Added Env::NewAppendableFile() whose default implementation returns
a not-supported error.

(3) VersionSet::Recovery attempts to reuse the MANIFEST from which
it is recovering.

(4) DBImpl recovery attempts to reuse the last log file and memtable.

(5) db_test.cc now tests a new configuration that sets reuse_logs to true.

(6) fault_injection_test also tests a reuse_logs==true config.

(7) Added a new recovery_test.

This replaces htmlpreview with [rawgit](http://rawgit.com/).
rawgit is faster and doesnt use JS to render the page, making it SEO friendly.

port/atomic_pointer.h was missing an implementation for
MemoryBarrier() for this platform.

With these changes, this package should be properly cleaned up and not require
any further changes.

This test is intended to ensure leveldb properly detects and recovers from
faults - specifically unwritten file data lost as a result of a system reset.

README was superseded by README.md and should have been deleted in 803d692.

Changes are:

* Update version number to 1.18
* Replace the basic fprintf call with a call to fwrite in order to
  work around the apparent compiler optimization/rewrite failure that we are
  seeing with the new toolchain/iOS SDKs provided with Xcode6 and iOS8.
* Fix ALL the header guards.
* Createed a README.md with the LevelDB project description.
* A new CONTRIBUTING file.
* Don't implicitly convert uint64_t to size_t or int.  Either preserve it as
  uint64_t, or explicitly cast. This fixes MSVC warnings about possible value
  truncation when compiling this code in Chromium.
* Added a DumpFile() library function that encapsulates the guts of the
  "leveldbutil dump" command. This will allow clients to dump
  data to their log files instead of stdout. It will also allow clients to
  supply their own environment.
* leveldb: Remove unused function 'ConsumeChar'.
* leveldbutil: Remove unused member variables from WriteBatchItemPrinter.
* OpenBSD, NetBSD and DragonflyBSD have _LITTLE_ENDIAN, so define
  PLATFORM_IS_LITTLE_ENDIAN like on FreeBSD. This fixes:
   * issue #143
   * issue #198
   * issue #249
* Switch from <cstdatomic> to <atomic>. The former never made it into the
  standard and doesn't exist in modern gcc versions at all.  The later contains
  everything that leveldb was using from the former.
  This problem was noticed when porting to Portable Native Client where no memory
  barrier is defined.  The fact that <cstdatomic> is missing normally goes
  unnoticed since memory barriers are defined for most architectures.
* Make Hash() treat its input as unsigned.  Before this change LevelDB files
  from platforms with different signedness of char were not compatible. This
  change fixes: issue #243
* Verify checksums of index/meta/filter blocks when paranoid_checks set.
* Invoke all tools for iOS with xcrun. (This was causing problems with the new
  XCode 5.1.1 image on pulse.)
* include <sys/stat.h> only once, and fix the following linter warning:
  "Found C system header after C++ system header"
* When encountering a corrupted table file, return Status::Corruption instead of
  Status::InvalidArgument.
* Support cygwin as build platform, patch is from https://code.google.com/p/leveldb/issues/detail?id=188
* Fix typo, merge patch from https://code.google.com/p/leveldb/issues/detail?id=159
* Fix typos and comments, and address the following two issues:
  * issue #166
  * issue #241
* Add missing db synchronize after "fillseq" in the benchmark.
* Removed unused variable in SeekRandom: value (issue #201)

- Cleanup: delete unused IntSetToString

  It was added in http://cr/19491949 (and was referenced at the time).
  The last reference was removed in http://cr/19507363.

  This fixes warning/error with pre-release crosstoolv18:
    'std::string leveldb::{anonymous}::IntSetToString(const std::set<long unsigned int>&)' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]

- Added arm64 and and armv7s to IOS build as suggested on leveldb mailing list.

- Changed local variable type from int to size_t

  This eliminates compiler warning/error and resolves
  https://code.google.com/p/leveldb/issues/detail?id=140

- Make Log::Reader not report a corruption when the last record in a
  log file is truncated.
- Fix issue 224: variable created but not utilized.
- Remove comment that referenced a removed feature.

- switched from mmap based writing to simpler stdio based writing. Has a
  minor impact (0.5 microseconds) on microbenchmarks for asynchronous
  writes. Synchronous writes speed up from 30ms to 10ms on linux/ext4.
  Should be much more reliable on diverse platforms.
- compaction errors now immediately put the database into a read-only
  mode (until it is re-opened). As a downside, a disk going out of
  space and then space being created will require a re-open to recover
  from, whereas previously that would happen automatically. On the
  plus side, many corruption possibilities go away.
- force the DB to enter an error-state so that all future writes fail
  when a synchronous log write succeeds but the sync fails.
- repair now regenerates sstables that exhibit problems
- fix issue 218 - Use native memory barriers on OSX
- fix issue 212 - QNX build is broken
- fix build on iOS with xcode 5
- make tests compile and pass on windows

Fix issues 200, 201

Also,
* Fix link to bigtable paper in docs.
* New sstables will have the file extension .ldb. .sst files will
continue to be recognized.
* When building for iOS, use xcrun to execute the compiler. This may
affect issue 177.

Fix issues 77, 87, 182, 190.

Additionally, fix the bug described in
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/leveldb/yL6h1mAOc20/vLU64RylIdMJ
where a large contiguous keyspace of deleted data was not getting
compacted.

Also fix a bug where options.max_open_files was not getting clamped
properly.

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.

(1) Separate out C++ and CC flags (fixes c_test compilation)
(2) Move snappy/perftools detection to script
(3) Fix db_bench_sqlite3 and db_bench_tree_db build rules

- Makefile: Use $(CXX) for compiling C++ files,
  don't override the environment's value of $CXX

- build_detect_platform: use $CXX instead of g++.

Based on bug report from Theo Schlossnagle:
http://code.google.com/p/leveldb/issues/detail?id=46

(Sync with uptream at 25807040.)

- Pass system's values of CFLAGS,LDFLAGS.
  Don't override OPT if it's already set.
  Original patch by Alessio Treglia <alessio@debian.org>:
  http://code.google.com/p/leveldb/issues/detail?id=27#c6

- Remove 1 exit time destructor from leveldb.
  See http://crbug.com/101600

- Fix problem where sstable building code would pass an
  internal key to the user comparator.

(Sync with uptream at 25436817.)

- 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

Adding GNU/kFreeBSD support. As requested here:
http://code.google.com/p/leveldb/issues/detail?id=38

Use uint64_t instead of size_t in MemEnvTest. As pointed out at
http://code.google.com/p/leveldb/issues/detail?id=41

Fix GCC -Wshadow warnings in LevelDB's public header files,
reported by Dustin.

Add in-memory Env implementation (helpers/memenv/*).
This enables users to create LevelDB databases in-memory.

Initialize ShardedLRUCache::last_id_ to zero.
This fixes a Valgrind warning.

(Also delete port/sha1_* which were removed upstream some time ago.)

- Fix bug in Get: when it triggers a compaction, it could sometimes
  mark the compaction with the wrong level (if there was a gap
  in the set of levels examined for the Get).

- Do not hold mutex while writing to the log file or to the
  MANIFEST file.

  Added a new benchmark that runs a writer thread concurrently with
  reader threads.

  Percentiles
  ------------------------------
  micros/op: avg  median 99   99.9  99.99  99.999 max
  ------------------------------------------------------
  before:    42   38     110  225   32000  42000  48000
  after:     24   20     55   65    130    1100   7000

- Fixed race in optimized Get.  It should have been using the
  pinned memtables, not the current memtables.



git-svn-id: https://leveldb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@50 62dab493-f737-651d-591e-8d6aee1b9529

- Fix for issue 33 (non-null-terminated result from
  leveldb_property_value())

- Support for running multiple instances of a benchmark in parallel.

- Reduce lock contention on Get():
  (1) Do not hold the lock while searching memtables.
  (2) Shard block and table caches 16-ways.

  Benchmark for evaluating this change:
  $ db_bench --benchmarks=fillseq1,readrandom --threads=$n
  (fillseq1 is a small hack to make sure fillseq runs once regardless
  of number of threads specified on the command line).



git-svn-id: https://leveldb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@49 62dab493-f737-651d-591e-8d6aee1b9529

- 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.
