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.
This directory contains interfaces and implementations that isolate the rest of the package from platform details. Code in the rest of the package includes "port.h" from this directory. "port.h" in turn includes a platform specific "port_<platform>.h" file that provides the platform specific implementation. See port_posix.h for an example of what must be provided in a platform specific header file.
