Update version and HISTORY.md for 11.3.2 release

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/14881

Read-only DB instances can share a directory with a live writer, so their view of live files is only a snapshot from the time they opened. After read-only DB open began setting `opened_successfully_` for its intended open-success semantics, that state had an unintended side effect: the common close path treated a successful read-only open like a read-write open and ran obsolete-file cleanup. If the writer created or made files live after the read-only handle opened, that cleanup could use the stale read-only live set and delete files still needed by the writer.

This change records whether a `DBImpl` was opened read-only and skips close-time obsolete-file cleanup for read-only DBs instead of simply keeping `opened_successfully_=false`, which could be confusing and easily mistaken in the future again.

For completeness I also updated other callsites of `opened_successfully_`, but those should not be real bugs as ReadOnly DBs do not run flushes/compactions or write to WALs.

@@ -217,6 +217,41 @@ The following patterns emerged as frequent sources of review feedback:
 * Use `make dbg` command to build all of the unit test in debug mode.
 * For -j in make command, use the number of CPU cores to decide it.
 
+### When to run `make clean` (avoid mixing build modes)
+
+The Makefile does **not** track build mode, so object files from a prior
+build are silently reused even when compiled with different flags, leading
+to confusing linker errors, sanitizer false negatives, ODR violations, or
+"phantom" bugs.
+
+Run `make clean` before switching any of these:
+* **`ASSERT_STATUS_CHECKED=1` ↔ unset** — changes the `Status` class layout (ABI break).
+* **Sanitizer builds** — toggling any of `COMPILE_WITH_ASAN=1`,
+    `COMPILE_WITH_UBSAN=1`, `COMPILE_WITH_TSAN=1` on/off.
+* `DEBUG_LEVEL=0` (release) ↔ `DEBUG_LEVEL=1` (debug, default for `make dbg`).
+* Different compilers, `OPT` levels, or other flags affecting codegen/ABI.
+
+**Notable exception:** `DEBUG_LEVEL=2` can be safely mixed with
+`DEBUG_LEVEL=1` — rebuild a subset of files with `DEBUG_LEVEL=2` to get
+extra/more accurate runtime checks for those files without a full clean.
+
+When in doubt, `make clean` is cheap insurance compared to chasing a
+phantom bug.
+
+### Source checks
+* Run `make check-sources` before committing. This catches non-ASCII
+    characters in source files and other source-level issues that CI will
+    reject. In particular, **do not use Unicode characters** (em dashes,
+    smart quotes, etc.) in comments or strings -- use ASCII equivalents
+    (`--` instead of em dash, `'` instead of smart quote, etc.).
+
+### RTTI and dynamic_cast
+* Production code and `db_stress` must build in **release mode
+    (`-fno-rtti`)**. Do not use `dynamic_cast` anywhere except unit tests.
+    Use `static_cast_with_check` from `util/cast_util.h` (validates with
+    `dynamic_cast` in debug builds, plain `static_cast` in release).
+* Unit tests (`*_test.cc`) are built in debug mode with RTTI enabled.
+
 ### Unit Test
 * After all of the unit tests are added, review them and try to extract common
     reusable utility functions to reduce code duplication due to copy past between

 # Rocksdb Change Log
 > NOTE: Entries for next release do not go here. Follow instructions in `unreleased_history/README.txt`
 
+## 11.3.2 (06/24/2026)
+### Bug Fixes
+* Fixed a bug where closing a read-only DB instance could delete live SST files created by a concurrent read-write DB sharing the same directory.
+
+## 11.3.1 (06/04/2026)
+* Don't call `EventListener::OnCompactionPreCommit` during DB shutdown, like other compaction callbacks
+
+## 11.3.0 (05/15/2026)
+### New Features
+* Add experimental DB option `async_wal_precreate` to precreate the next WAL file in a background thread and reduce foreground WAL rotation latency. The option is sanitized to false when WAL recycling is enabled.
+* Added a new `EventListener::OnCompactionPreCommit` callback that fires after a compaction job finishes but before its input files are released (i.e. while `FileMetaData::being_compacted` is still true). Listeners that maintain bookkeeping of which files are currently being compacted can clean up such state in this new callback to avoid races with concurrent compaction picking, where another thread might pick up the same files for a new compaction immediately after `being_compacted` is flipped back to false but before `OnCompactionCompleted` fires. The default implementation is a no-op so this is not a breaking change.
+* Add mutable DBOption `optimize_manifest_for_recovery` (default false). When enabled, RocksDB can reduce recovery work after a clean shutdown, which may lower DB::Open latency on warm reopens.
+* Added public utility APIs `ParseCompressionNameForDisplay()` to convert `TableProperties::compression_name` into a human-readable compression name for both legacy and format_version 7+ SST metadata, including custom `CompressionManager`-provided display names for custom compression types.
+* Add `reuse_manifest_on_open` DBOption (default false). When enabled, DB::Open reuses the existing MANIFEST file for append instead of creating a fresh one, avoiding the cost of serializing the entire database state into a new MANIFEST on the first post-open write. To prevent this feature from interfering with manifest file size auto-tuning, an extra forward-compatible field is now always added to the MANIFEST (to track the last "compacted" size).
+
+### Behavior Changes
+* Read-only open with `error_if_wal_file_exists=true` now tolerates empty WAL files so empty precreated WALs do not prevent inspection.
+* WriteCommitted TransactionDB now matches WritePrepared and WriteUnprepared compaction filtering in both single- and two-write-queue modes: a compaction filter's FilterMergeOperand will not be invoked on merge operands at or below the latest published sequence number.
+
+### Bug Fixes
+* Fixed blob-backed wide-column merge reads to preserve correct status
+propagation and resolution across memtable, read-only, and secondary DB
+paths.
+* Fixed a bug where `DB::GetCreationTimeOfOldestFile()` could return inaccurate results instead of the real creation time when called shortly after opening a legacy DB (one whose manifest lacks `file_creation_time`) with `open_files_async = true`. The API now waits for background SST file loading to complete only when needed; modern DBs are unaffected.
+* Fixed merge reads against wide-column/blob-backed base values to preserve precise failure statuses, including `GetMergeOperands()` and direct-write memtable reads.
+* Fix bug in range tombstone synthesis that covers live keys added during an IngestExternalFile
+* Reject the empty string as a column family name in `DB::CreateColumnFamily` / `DB::CreateColumnFamilies`. Previously such calls returned OK and a usable handle, but the column family was not persisted in the manifest, so any data written to it was silently lost on DB reopen.
+* Fixed a bug where a WriteCommitted TransactionDB using commit-bypass WBWI ingestion could drop an entry that is still visible at the published sequence boundary.
+
 ## 11.2.0 (04/18/2026)
 ### New Features
 * Added experimental `DBOptions::fast_sst_open` option. When enabled, RocksDB retrieves opaque file system metadata for SST files after flush, compaction, and external file ingestion, persists it in the MANIFEST, and passes it back to the file system on subsequent file opens to accelerate DB open time.

+title: Interpolation search for SST index blocks
+layout: post
+author: joshkang97
+category: blog
+---
+
+For workloads with uniformly distributed keys, RocksDB now supports **interpolation search** for SST index blocks as an alternative to the default binary search.
+
+## The idea
+
+Binary search always splits the remaining range in half:
+
+```
+mid = low + (high - low) / 2
+```
+
+That's Θ(log n) probes regardless of the data. Interpolation search instead estimates where the target should land based on its value relative to the current boundaries:
+
+```
+probe = low + (target - key[low]) * (high - low) / (key[high] - key[low])
+```
+
+On uniformly distributed keys, that's expected O(log log n) probes. The canonical example: for an index block with restart keys `0, 1, 2, ..., 1023` and a seek for `900`, binary search needs about 10 hops; interpolation search lands on it in 1.
+
+The catch is that pure interpolation search degrades to O(n) on badly skewed data.
+
+## Turning a key into a number
+
+The interpolation formula needs numeric values, but index keys are variable-length byte slices. RocksDB extracts a `uint64_t` per key by reading the first 8 bytes after the common prefix shared by the block's boundary keys, in big-endian, and zero-pads to the right if the remaining bytes are too short.
+
+```cpp
+inline uint64_t ReadBe64FromKey(Slice s, bool is_user_key, size_t offset) {
+  // ... strip internal seq/type bytes if needed ...
+  if (s.size() - offset >= 8) {
+    uint64_t val;
+    memcpy(&val, s.data() + offset, sizeof(val));
+    return port::kLittleEndian ? EndianSwapValue(val) : val;
+  }
+  // pad short tails with zeros on the right (preserves bytewise order)
+}
+```
+
+Big-endian + zero-pad preserves bytewise ordering, so the linear interpolation formula stays consistent with the comparator. This is also why the feature requires `BytewiseComparator`.
+
+Two distinct keys can still collapse to the same `uint64_t` once you go past the first 8 non-shared bytes. To avoid a divide-by-zero, we simply fall back to binary search in that case.
+
+## How to enable it
+
+To force interpolation search on every index block:
+
+```cpp
+rocksdb::BlockBasedTableOptions table_options;
+table_options.index_block_search_type =
+    rocksdb::BlockBasedTableOptions::kInterpolation;
+```
+
+## kAuto: per-block selection
+
+`kAuto` is the recommended way to use the feature. It chooses the search algorithm for each index block automatically, based on a uniformity hint written into the block footer at SST construction time:
+
+```cpp
+table_options.index_block_search_type =
+    rocksdb::BlockBasedTableOptions::kAuto;
+table_options.uniform_cv_threshold = 0.2;
+```
+
+When `uniform_cv_threshold >= 0`, the SST writer scans each index block's restart keys and computes the **coefficient of variation (CV)** of the gaps between consecutive numeric key values:
+
+```
+gap[i] = key_value[i + 1] - key_value[i]
+CV     = stddev(gap) / mean(gap)
+```
+
+Lower CV means the gaps are more uniform — and the more likely interpolation search will outperform binary search. The CV is computed incrementally with Welford's online algorithm, so the scan is one pass over the restart points.
+
+If `CV < uniform_cv_threshold`, RocksDB sets an `is_uniform` bit in the block footer. At read time, `kAuto` resolves to `kInterpolation` only when that bit is set *and* the comparator is bytewise; otherwise it uses `kBinary`.
+
+### Write overhead
+
+Computing the `is_uniform` bit is a cheap operation as it is only computed for the index blocks in a SST file. CPU profiling of `db_bench -benchmarks=fillseq,compact -compression_type=none -disable_wal=1` attributes only ~0.08% of write-path CPU to `ScanForUniformity`.
+
+After a few more releases, we plan to enable kAuto and uniform_cv_threshold by default.
+
+## Benchmarks
+
+Setup — populate a DB and force a single-level shape so all reads hit the same index structure, then measure point-read throughput:
+
+```
+# Build a release binary
+make clean && DEBUG_LEVEL=0 make db_bench
+
+# Load + compact, varying the index_shortening_mode
+./db_bench -benchmarks=fillrandom,compact \
+           -index_shortening_mode=1
+
+# Then point-read against the populated DB
+./db_bench -use_existing_db=true -benchmarks=readrandom \
+           -index_block_search_type=binary_search   # or interpolation_search / auto_search
+```
+
+`index_shortening_mode=1` (`kShortenSeparators`) keeps the file's last index key intact, which preserves a roughly uniform numeric distribution for the benchmark.
+
+Results, averaged over multiple runs:
+
+| Mode | ops/s | vs `binary_search` |
+|---|---|---|
+| `binary_search` | 335,749 | baseline |
+| `interpolation_search` | 366,598 | **+9.2%** |
+| `auto_search` | 366,832 | **+9.2%** |
+

+The `is_uniform` bit reuses a previously-reserved bit in the data block footer. SSTs written by older RocksDB never set it and decode as `is_uniform = false`, so they read with binary search under `kAuto`. However, after the bit is set, if read by an older RocksDB version < 11.0.0, it will read it as a corruption error.
+
+## Future work
+
+Some future opportunities can involve extending interpolation search to data blocks, as well as supporting other comparators such as `ReverseBytewiseComparator`.

 Step 4 - **Obsolete**: After all memtables referencing this WAL are flushed, the WAL becomes obsolete and is either recycled or deleted.
 
+## Async WAL Precreation
+
+When `DBOptions::async_wal_precreate` is enabled, RocksDB keeps at most one future WAL file precreated in the background. RocksDB reserves a file number before scheduling the background task; the task opens the file/writer, but deliberately leaves the file as reserved empty storage:
+
+- It does not write compression metadata.
+- It does not write predecessor WAL info.
+- It does not add the file to `logs_`, `alive_wal_files_`, or MANIFEST WAL tracking.
+
+The file becomes a logical WAL only when foreground `SwitchMemtable()` consumes it. At that point RocksDB writes the normal WAL metadata, flushes the previous WAL writer buffer, and installs the new WAL in the same order as synchronous WAL creation. If foreground rotation reaches the switch while the background task is still running, the writer waits for the reserved file number instead of allocating a higher numbered WAL. This avoids a late lower-numbered WAL appearing after a newer WAL has become live. If background precreation fails, the background task logs the failure and foreground rotation falls back to normal synchronous WAL creation.
+
+Unused precreated WALs are safe across crashes and clean shutdowns because they are zero-record future WAL files. Recovery processes WAL files by log number, marks every observed WAL number as used, and treats an empty future WAL as EOF. On clean close, RocksDB releases the unpublished WAL writer but does not need to delete the empty file. The option is sanitized to false when `recycle_log_file_num > 0`.
+
 ## WAL Tracking in MANIFEST
 
 `WalSet` (see `db/wal_edit.h`, tracked in `VersionSet`) manages WAL metadata in the MANIFEST:
 
-- `WalAddition` records are written when a WAL is created or when a closed/inactive WAL's synced size is finalized
+- `WalAddition` records are written when a closed/inactive WAL's synced size is finalized
 - `WalDeletion` records are written when a WAL becomes obsolete after flush
 - Live-WAL syncs (via `DB::SyncWAL()` or `WriteOptions::sync`) are intentionally not tracked in MANIFEST
