Andrew Kryczka 7027265417 Fix max_successive_merges counting CPU overhead regression (#12546)
Summary:
In https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/12365 we made `max_successive_merges` non-strict by default. Before https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/12365, `CountSuccessiveMergeEntries()`'s scan was implicitly limited to `max_successive_merges` entries for a given key, because after that the merge operator would be invoked and the merge chain would be collapsed. After https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/12365, the merge chain will not be collapsed no matter how long it is when the chain's operands are not all in memory. Since `CountSuccessiveMergeEntries()` scanned the whole merge chain, https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/12365 had a side effect that it would scan more memtable entries. This PR introduces a limit so it won't scan more entries than it could before.

  • Fixed a regression when ColumnFamilyOptions::max_successive_merges > 0 where the CPU overhead for deciding whether to merge could have increased unless the user had set the option ColumnFamilyOptions::strict_max_successive_merges
