Summary:
Finalize re-sorts (read: mutates) the files_ in Version* and it is called by CompactionPicker during normal runtime. At the same time, this same Version* lives in the SuperVersion* and is accessed without the mutex in GetImpl() code path.
Mutating the files_ in one thread and reading the same files_ in another thread is a bad idea. It caused this issue: http://ci-builds.fb.com/job/rocksdb_crashtest/285/console
Long-term, we need to be more careful with method contracts and clearly document what state can be mutated when. Now that we are much faster because we don't lock in GetImpl(), we keep running into data races that were not a problem before when we were slower. db_stress has been very helpful in detecting those.
Short-term, I removed Finalize() from CompactionPicker.
Note: I believe this is an issue in current 2.7 version running in production.
Test Plan:
make check
Will also run db_stress to see if issue is gone
