1. relocation R_X86_64_32 against `__gxx_personality_v0' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
2. warning: the use of `tmpnam' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp'
3. Death tests use fork(), which is unsafe particularly in a threaded context. For this test, Google Test couldn't detect the number of threads.
For a tablet, there may be multiple memtables, which will be
flushed to disk one by one in the order of generation.
If a memtable flush fails, then the load job will definitely
fail, but the previous implementation will overwrite `_flush_status`,
which may make the error can not be detected, leads to an error
load job to be success.
This patch also have two other changes:
1. Use `std::bind` to replace `boost::bind`;
2. Removes some unneeded headers.
Thread pool design point:
All tasks submitted directly to the thread pool enter a FIFO queue and are
dispatched to a worker thread when one becomes free. Tasks may also be
submitted via ThreadPoolTokens. The token wait() and shutdown() functions
can then be used to block on logical groups of tasks.
A token operates in one of two ExecutionModes, determined at token
construction time:
1. SERIAL: submitted tasks are run one at a time.
2. CONCURRENT: submitted tasks may be run in parallel.
This isn't unlike submitted without a token, but the logical grouping that tokens
impart can be useful when a pool is shared by many contexts (e.g. to
safely shut down one context, to derive context-specific metrics, etc.).
Tasks submitted without a token or via ExecutionMode::CONCURRENT tokens are
processed in FIFO order. On the other hand, ExecutionMode::SERIAL tokens are
processed in a round-robin fashion, one task at a time. This prevents them
from starving one another. However, tokenless (and CONCURRENT token-based)
tasks can starve SERIAL token-based tasks.
Thread design point:
1. It is a thin wrapper around pthread that can register itself with the singleton ThreadMgr
(a private class implemented in thread.cpp entirely, which tracks all live threads so
that they may be monitored via the debug webpages). This class has a limited subset of
boost::thread's API. Construction is almost the same, but clients must supply a
category and a name for each thread so that they can be identified in the debug web
UI. Otherwise, join() is the only supported method from boost::thread.
2. Each Thread object knows its operating system thread ID (TID), which can be used to
attach debuggers to specific threads, to retrieve resource-usage statistics from the
operating system, and to assign threads to resource control groups.
3. Threads are shared objects, but in a degenerate way. They may only have
up to two referents: the caller that created the thread (parent), and
the thread itself (child). Moreover, the only two methods to mutate state
(join() and the destructor) are constrained: the child may not join() on
itself, and the destructor is only run when there's one referent left.
These constraints allow us to access thread internals without any locks.
