Peter Dillinger 6cceef9497 Bug fixes: surface embedded-blob resolution errors (#14906)
Summary:
Experimental embedded ("same-file") blob SST support (https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/14851) overloads blob file number 0 as both kInvalidBlobFileNumber and the same-file sentinel kCurrentFileBlobIndexFileNumber. Same-file references must be resolved by EmbeddedBlobResolvingIterator before they reach any generic file-metadata or integrated-BlobDB path, all of which reject file number 0 as invalid.

When resolving a same-file blob hit an error (e.g. a db_stress-injected blob-region read fault), EmbeddedBlobResolvingIterator::value() fell back to returning the RAW, unresolved same-file value, surfacing the error only via status()/Valid(). Compaction consumed the raw value before consulting status, leaking an unresolved same-file reference into the output stream. Depending on the value type this produced two different crash-test failures, both from this one root cause:

* T277566778 -- wide-column entity variant. The raw same-file entity (kTypeWideColumnEntity) reached FileMetaData::UpdateBoundaries, whose blob-ref scan (correctly) rejected file number 0: Flush failed: Corruption: Invalid blob file number (also observed from a background compaction). The tripwire fired on the leak, so the real injected read error was masked behind a misleading corruption status.

* T277310719 -- whole-value BlobIndex variant, and more dangerous because it escapes that tripwire. ResolveKeyType() rewrites the key type kTypeBlobIndex -> kTypeValue with no I/O (so it always succeeds); on the masked error the emitted entry is therefore {kTypeValue, raw BlobIndex bytes}. UpdateBoundaries only scans kTypeBlobIndex/entity types, so it does NOT reject this record: the corruption is silently written to the compaction output and persists. A later point lookup reads those raw BlobIndex bytes back as the value, which db_stress detects as db_stress: expected_value.cc:102: Assertion `ExpectedValue::IsValueBaseValid(value_base)' failed from TestGet. In the captured crash the aborting db_stress process had injected no faults itself -- it read corruption persisted by an earlier faults-on run (blackbox reuses the DB directory), confirming the persistence route.

Fix: EmbeddedBlobResolvingIterator now resolves eagerly for callers that do not opt into unprepared values (allow_unprepared_value=false, e.g. compaction), via a new EagerEmbeddedBlobResolvingIterator (the caller is selected in BlockBasedTable::NewIterator). Eager callers resolve the value during positioning, so a resolution error (blob-region I/O or corruption) is observable through status()/Valid() BEFORE value() is consumed, and value() never exposes an unresolved same-file BlobIndex. Lazy callers (allow_unprepared_value=true, user iteration) keep value laziness but must honor PrepareValue()'s result. This keeps the "callers never see an unresolved same-file blob" invariant structural, even on the error path. Using a template for EmbeddedBlobResolvingIterator minimizes unnecessary overheads.

Also hardens and documents the integrity tripwires that caught the leak, so they are not "fixed" by weakening them -- doing so would mask real corruption and could persist unresolvable same-file references into ordinary (non-embedded) SSTs, turning a transient error into permanent data loss: FileMetaData::UpdateBoundaries (write/output path), Version::GetBlob and Version::MultiGetBlob (integrated-BlobDB read path), plus the contract note in blob_constants.h.

Adds a test-only sync point
"BlockBasedTable::MaybeResolveEmbeddedValue:InjectError" (compiled out under NDEBUG) to simulate a blob-region resolution fault deterministically.

Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/14906

Test Plan:
New unit tests in db_blob_index_test, both of which fail without the fix and pass with it:

* DBBlobIndexTest.EmbeddedBlobResolveErrorDuringCompactionNotMasked -- entity variant. Without the fix CompactRange fails with the masked "Invalid blob file number"; with the fix it fails with the injected IOError.
* DBBlobIndexTest.EmbeddedBlobResolveErrorWholeValueDuringCompactionNotMasked -- whole-value variant. Without the fix CompactRange SUCCEEDS (silently masking the error and persisting {kTypeValue, raw BlobIndex}); with the fix it fails with the injected IOError.

Confirmed the tests exercise the real root cause by temporarily neutralizing the eager resolution (MaybeEagerlyMaterialize): both tests then fail in their respective pre-fix modes (entity -> "Invalid blob file number"; whole-value -> compaction succeeds), then pass again once restored.

End-to-end: the db_stress reproducer for T277566778 (blackbox crash test with embedded-blob ingestion and fault injection) reproduced the "Invalid blob file number" crash before the fix and no longer reproduces with it.
