Revision 3df07d1703297cf8bf98327c1dc65f48d18957f5 authored by sdong on 19 May 2014, 17:40:18 UTC, committed by sdong on 19 May 2014, 18:52:12 UTC
Summary:
Add a feature to decrease the number of threads in thread pool.
Also instantly schedule more threads if number of threads is increased.

Here is the way it is implemented: each background thread needs its thread ID. After decreasing number of threads, all threads are woken up. The thread with the largest thread ID will terminate. If there are more threads to terminate, the thread will wake up all threads again.

Another change is made so that when number of threads is increased, more threads are created and all previous excessive threads are woken up to do the work.

Test Plan: Add a unit test.

# RocksDBLite

RocksDBLite is a project focused on mobile use cases, which don't need a lot of fancy things we've built for server workloads and they are very sensitive to binary size. For that reason, we added a compile flag ROCKSDB_LITE that comments out a lot of the nonessential code and keeps the binary lean.

Some examples of the features disabled by ROCKSDB_LITE:
* compiled-in support for LDB tool
* No backupable DB
* No support for replication (which we provide in form of TrasactionalIterator)
* No advanced monitoring tools
* No special-purpose memtables that are highly optimized for specific use cases

When adding a new big feature to RocksDB, please add ROCKSDB_LITE compile guard if:
* Nobody from mobile really needs your feature,
* Your feature is adding a lot of weight to the binary.

Don't add ROCKSDB_LITE compile guard if:
* It would introduce a lot of code complexity. Compile guards make code harder to read. It's a trade-off.
* Your feature is not adding a lot of weight.

If unsure, ask. :)
