The LevelDB storage types return an interface type now that wraps
around the underlying iterator. This both enhances testability but
improves upon, in my opinion, the interface design for the LevelDB
iterator.
Secondarily, the resource reaping behaviors for the LevelDB iterators
have been improved by dropping the externalized io.Closer object.
Finally, the iterator provisioning methods provide the option for
indicating whether one wants a snapshotted iterator or not.
EachFunc is deprecated.
Remove deprecated ``Pair`` and ``GetAll``.
These were originally used for forensic and the old gorest impl.
Nothing today in the user-facing path nor the tests uses them,
especially since the advent of the ForEach protocol in the
interface.
- Kill Close in Persistent and document interface.
- Extract batching behavior into interface.
- Kill IteratorManager, which was used for unknown reasons.
Snappy should have been explicitly included in the runtime, for I
erroneously thought that LevelDB bundled this into its runtime as-is.
It turns out that this assumption is wrong, and I thought we had
Snappy compression support all-along.
Presently our use of LevelDB and its operating modes are hardcoded
into the storage stack. This pull request decouples this and
re-exposes this through flags. We can now perform benchmarking
and remedial tuning.
