This patchset applies the following changes:
using vertical compaction machanism to do segcompaction
basic (WIP) refraction to separate segcompaction logic from BetaRowsetWriter
add segcompaction specific ut and regression tests
Currently, newly created segment could be chosen to be compaction
candidate, which is prone to bugs and segment file open failures. We
should skip last (maybe active) segment while doing segcompaction.
## Design
### Trigger
Every time when a rowset writer produces more than N (e.g. 10) segments, we trigger segment compaction. Note that only one segment compaction job for a single rowset at a time to ensure no recursing/queuing nightmare.
### Target Selection
We collect segments during every trigger. We skip big segments whose row num > M (e.g. 10000) coz we get little benefits from compacting them comparing our effort. Hence, we only pick the 'Longest Consecutive Small" segment group to do actual compaction.
### Compaction Process
A new thread pool is introduced to help do the job. We submit the above-mentioned 'Longest Consecutive Small" segment group to the pool. Then the worker thread does the followings:
- build a MergeIterator from the target segments
- create a new segment writer
- for each block readed from MergeIterator, the Writer append it
### SegID handling
SegID must remain consecutive after segment compaction.
If a rowset has small segments named seg_0, seg_1, seg_2, seg_3 and a big segment seg_4:
- we create a segment named "seg_0-3" to save compacted data for seg_0, seg_1, seg_2 and seg_3
- delete seg_0, seg_1, seg_2 and seg_3
- rename seg_0-3 to seg_0
- rename seg_4 to seg_1
It is worth noticing that we should wait inflight segment compaction tasks to finish before building rowset meta and committing this txn.
