// NOTE: Keep the comments in the following to 75 chars width, so they
// format nicely in godoc.

// Options are params for creating DB object.
//
// This package provides DefaultOptions which contains options that should
// work for most applications. Consider using that as a starting point before
// customizing it for your own needs.
type Options struct {
	// 1. Mandatory flags
	// -------------------
	// Directory to store the data in. Should exist and be writable.
	Dir string
	// Directory to store the value log in. Can be the same as Dir. Should
	// exist and be writable.
	ValueDir string

	// 2. Frequently modified flags
	// -----------------------------
	// Sync all writes to disk. Setting this to true would slow down data
	// loading significantly.
	SyncWrites bool

	// How should LSM tree be accessed.
	TableLoadingMode options.FileLoadingMode

	// How should value log be accessed
	ValueLogLoadingMode options.FileLoadingMode

	// 3. Flags that user might want to review
	// ----------------------------------------
	// The following affect all levels of LSM tree.
	MaxTableSize        int64 // Each table (or file) is at most this size.
	LevelSizeMultiplier int   // Equals SizeOf(Li+1)/SizeOf(Li).
	MaxLevels           int   // Maximum number of levels of compaction.
	// If value size >= this threshold, only store value offsets in tree.
	ValueThreshold int
	// Maximum number of tables to keep in memory, before stalling.
	NumMemtables int
	// The following affect how we handle LSM tree L0.
	// Maximum number of Level 0 tables before we start compacting.
	NumLevelZeroTables int

	// If we hit this number of Level 0 tables, we will stall until L0 is
	// compacted away.
	NumLevelZeroTablesStall int

	// Maximum total size for L1.
	LevelOneSize int64

	// Size of single value log file.
	ValueLogFileSize int64

	// Number of compaction workers to run concurrently.
	NumCompactors int

	// Transaction start and commit timestamps are manaVgedTxns by end-user. This
	// is a private option used by ManagedDB.
	managedTxns bool

	// 4. Flags for testing purposes
	// ------------------------------
	DoNotCompact bool // Stops LSM tree from compactions.

	maxBatchCount int64 // max entries in batch
	maxBatchSize  int64 // max batch size in bytes
}

// DefaultOptions sets a list of recommended options for good performance.
// Feel free to modify these to suit your needs.
