// Comparator used to define the order of keys in the table.
// Default: a comparator that uses lexicographic byte-wise ordering
//
// REQUIRES: The client must ensure that the comparator supplied
// here has the same name and orders keys *exactly* the same as the
// comparator provided to previous open calls on the same DB.

// If true, an error is raised if the database already exists.
// Default: false
bool error_if_exists;
// If true, the implementation will do aggressive checking of the
// data it is processing and will stop early if it detects any
// errors. This may have unforeseen ramifications: for example, a
// corruption of one DB entry may cause a large number of entries to
// become unreadable or for the entire DB to become unopenable.
// Default: false
bool paranoid_checks;
// Use the specified object to interact with the environment,
// e.g. to read/write files, schedule background work, etc.
// Default: Env::Default()
Env* env;
// Any internal progress/error information generated by the db will
// be written to info_log if it is non-NULL, or to a file stored
// in the same directory as the DB contents if info_log is NULL.
// Default: NULL
Logger* info_log;
// -------------------
// Parameters that affect performance
// Amount of data to build up in memory (backed by an unsorted log
// on disk) before converting to a sorted on-disk file.
//
// Larger values increase performance, especially during bulk loads.
// Up to two write buffers may be held in memory at the same time,
// so you may wish to adjust this parameter to control memory usage.
// Also, a larger write buffer will result in a longer recovery time
// the next time the database is opened.
//
// Default: 4MB
size_t write_buffer_size;
// Number of open files that can be used by the DB. You may need to
// increase this if your database has a large working set (budget
// one open file per 2MB of working set).
//
// Default: 1000
int max_open_files;
// Control over blocks (user data is stored in a set of blocks, and
// a block is the unit of reading from disk).
// If non-NULL, use the specified cache for blocks.
// If NULL, leveldb will automatically create and use an 8MB internal cache.
// Default: NULL
Cache* block_cache;
// Approximate size of user data packed per block. Note that the
// block size specified here corresponds to uncompressed data. The
// actual size of the unit read from disk may be smaller if
// compression is enabled. This parameter can be changed dynamically.
//
// Default: 4K
size_t block_size;

// leave this parameter alone.

int block_restart_interval;
// Compress blocks using the specified compression algorithm. This
// parameter can be changed dynamically.
//
// Default: kSnappyCompression, which gives lightweight but fast
// compression.
//
// Typical speeds of kSnappyCompression on an Intel(R) Core(TM)2 2.4GHz:
// ~200-500MB/s compression
// ~400-800MB/s decompression
// Note that these speeds are significantly faster than most
// persistent storage speeds, and therefore it is typically never
// worth switching to kNoCompression. Even if the input data is
// incompressible, the kSnappyCompression implementation will
// efficiently detect that and will switch to uncompressed mode.
