// This file implements DB.CheckLevels() which checks that every entry in the
// DB is consistent with respect to the level invariant: any point (or the
// infinite number of points in a range tombstone) has a seqnum such that a
// point with the same UserKey at a lower level has a lower seqnum. This is an
// expensive check since it involves iterating over all the entries in the DB,
// hence only intended for tests or tools.
//
// If we ignore range tombstones, the consistency checking of points can be
// done with a simplified version of mergingIter. simpleMergingIter is that
// simplified version of mergingIter that only needs to step through points
// (analogous to only doing Next()). It can also easily accommodate
// consistency checking of points relative to range tombstones.
// simpleMergingIter does not do any seek optimizations present in mergingIter
// (it minimally needs to seek the range delete iterators to position them at
// or past the current point) since it does not want to miss points for
// purposes of consistency checking.
//
// Mutual consistency of range tombstones is non-trivial to check. One needs
// to detect inversions of the form [a, c)#8 at higher level and [b, c)#10 at
// a lower level. The start key of the former is not contained in the latter
// and we can't use the exclusive end key, c, for a containment check since it
// is the sentinel key. We observe that if these tombstones were fragmented
// wrt each other we would have [a, b)#8 and [b, c)#8 at the higher level and
// [b, c)#10 at the lower level and then it is is trivial to compare the two
// [b, c) tombstones. Note that this fragmentation needs to take into account
// that tombstones in a file may be untruncated and need to act within the
// bounds of the file. This checking is performed by checkRangeTombstones()
// and its helper functions.
