Summary: - Add experimental immutable `DBOptions::async_wal_precreate` to reserve and open one future WAL on a background HIGH-priority task, with sanitization that disables the optimization when WAL recycling is configured. - Split WAL creation into open/preallocate and start phases so `SwitchMemtable()` can consume a prepared WAL after writing normal WAL metadata, wait for in-flight precreation, fall back to synchronous creation, and delete an unstarted prepared WAL on start failure. - Keep WAL numbering, close, recovery, and read-only open safe for empty future WAL files left by async precreation; `error_if_wal_file_exists=true` now rejects non-empty WALs while tolerating empty WALs. - Add public option plumbing for the C API, options parsing/stringification, random option testing, `db_bench`, `db_stress`, and crash-test configuration. - Add WAL precreate statistics counters plus Java `TickerType`/JNI mappings, and update C++, C, and Java read-only-open documentation for the empty-WAL behavior. - Add focused WAL/option/C/Java tests for async precreate ready/wait/failure/recovery paths, read-only WAL detection, option sanitization, and API plumbing, plus write-flow docs and unreleased history entries for the new feature and behavior change.

RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage
RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team. It is built on earlier work on LevelDB by Sanjay Ghemawat (sanjay@google.com) and Jeff Dean (jeff@google.com)
This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast key-value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives. It has a Log-Structured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs between Write-Amplification-Factor (WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF) and Space-Amplification-Factor (SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions, making it especially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.
