an experimental patch for fixing ldb bloat
ldb indexing can cause huge files, and huge memory usage. This experiment allows us to keep indexes in memory during a transaction, then to write the indexes to disk when the transaction completes. The result is that the db is much smaller (we have seen improvements of about 100x in file size) and memory usage during large transactions is also greatly reduced Note that this patch uses the unusual strategy of putting pointers into a ldb (and thus into a tdb). This works because the pointers are only there during a transaction, so the pointers are not exposed to any other users of the database. The pointers allow us to avoid some really bad allocation problems with tdb record allocation during the re-indexing.

/*
+ the idxptr code is a bit unusual. The way it works is to replace
+ @IDX elements in records during a transaction with @IDXPTR
+ elements. The @IDXPTR elements don't contain the actual index entry
+ values, but contain a pointer to a linked list of values.
+
+ This means we are storing pointers in a database, which is normally
+ not allowed, but in this case we are storing them only for the
+ duration of a transaction, and re-writing them into the normal @IDX
+ format at the end of the transaction. That means no other processes
+ are ever exposed to the @IDXPTR values.
+
+ The advantage is that the linked list doesn't cause huge
+ fragmentation during a transaction. Without the @IDXPTR method we
+ often ended up with a ldb that was between 10x and 100x larger then
+ it needs to be due to massive fragmentation caused by re-writing
+ @INDEX records many times during indexing.
