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
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.
- 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.
