Update version and HISTORY.md for 11.5.2 release

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/14887

This reverts two changes to the range-lock endpoint comparator and restores the prior, direction-agnostic behavior:
- https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/14831 ("Fix range lock manager crash with reverse comparator"), which made RangeTreeLockManager::CompareDbtEndpoints reverse-aware, and
- https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/14880 (a follow-up that only corrected the equal-length / point-range branch).

Why: #14831 taught the endpoint comparator about reverse-ordered column families by flipping the suffix tie-break based on comparator direction. However, callers that use range locking on a reverse-ordered CF already flip the start/end endpoints themselves before calling lock_range() -- for example, MyRocks does this in ha_rocksdb::set_range_lock() (see its "RangeFlagsShouldBeFlippedForRevCF" comment). The two corrections stack and produce left > right again, which:
(a) trips paranoid_invariant(compare(left, right) <= 0) in toku::locktree::try_acquire_lock() and aborts on equality/point locks, and
(b) for range scans, mis-orders the endpoints and produces an incorrect lock range, leading to silent correctness issues under concurrency.
#14880 only addressed (a) (the equal-length / point-range branch), not (b), so it was an incomplete fix at the wrong layer.

Decision: keep CompareDbtEndpoints direction-agnostic and make it an explicit caller requirement to pass a flipped (swapped start/end, with negated infimum/supremum flags) range for range locking to work on a reverse-ordered column family. A function-level comment documenting this contract is added so reverse-awareness is not reintroduced here.

Removes the RangeLockWithReverseComparator unit test added by #14831 (it asserts the reverted direction-flipped ordering). Keeps a regression test that a point range lock [infimum(K), supremum(K)] works on a reverse-comparator column family.

 ## Important tips
 
 ### Build system
-* There are 3 build system. Make, CMake, BUCK(meta internal).
+* There are 3 build system. Make for git clones, BUCK (meta internal) for hg
+  clones, and CMake for some special cases.
 * When a new .cc file is added, update Makefile, CMakeLists.txt, src.mk, BUCK.
 * Don't manually edit BUCK file, after updating src.mk, run
     /usr/local/bin/python3 buckifier/buckify_rocksdb.py to update it
-* Use make to build and run the test. CMake and BUCK are not used locally.
-* 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.
+
+### Cross-platform / portability
+Local `make` only exercises Linux with GCC/Clang, but CI
+(`.github/workflows/pr-jobs.yml` and `nightly.yml`) gates on a much wider
+matrix, so portability breaks are invisible locally until CI fails. Code must
+build (and where noted, run tests) across:
+
+| Axis | Must support |
+|------|--------------|
+| OS | Linux (x86_64 + ARM), macOS, Windows |
+| Compiler | GCC, Clang (libstdc++ **and** libc++), AppleClang, **MSVC (VS2022)**, MinGW (Linux cross-compile, build-only, no gflags) |
+| Build system | Make, CMake, and BUCK (internal) -- keep all in sync (see "Build system" above) |
+| Config | release (`-fno-rtti`), `ASSERT_STATUS_CHECKED`, ASAN/UBSAN/TSAN, folly, unity build, JNI/Java |
+
+Treat these as constraints to satisfy and infer the specifics from them before
+adding any system header, libc call, or compiler-specific construct. The most
+common trap: anything that compiles under GCC/Clang on Linux but not under
+**MSVC/MinGW** -- e.g. unguarded POSIX-only headers/functions (`<unistd.h>`,
+`<sys/*.h>`, `getpid`, `_exit`, ...) or GCC/Clang extensions
+(`__attribute__`, `__builtin_*`, VLAs, `alloca`). Prefer the `port::`/`Env`
+abstractions; otherwise guard with `#ifdef OS_WIN` (POSIX `<unistd.h>` ->
+Windows `<process.h>`). Because libc++ is also tested, include what you use
+rather than relying on libstdc++ transitive includes.

 # Rocksdb Change Log
 > NOTE: Entries for next release do not go here. Follow instructions in `unreleased_history/README.txt`
 
+## 11.5.2 (06/25/2026)
+### Bug Fixes
+* Reverted PR14831 that made range_lock_manager aware of reverse-order CF
+
+## 11.5.1 (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.
+
+## 11.5.0 (06/16/2026)
+### New Features
+* External table readers that open files through `ExternalTableOptions::fs` now update RocksDB SST/file-read statistics and file IO listener callbacks, making external file IO activity visible in existing read metrics.
+* Added `DB::PrepareFileIngestion()`, a two-phase form of `IngestExternalFile`/`IngestExternalFiles`. `PrepareFileIngestion()` performs all of the work that does not require the DB mutex (validating the arguments, reading each external file's metadata, and linking/copying the files into the DB) and returns an opaque `FileIngestionHandle`. `DB::CommitFileIngestionHandle()` (or `DB::CommitFileIngestionHandles()` for several handles at once) then makes the prepared files visible; multiple handles are committed atomically in a single MANIFEST write, or none are. `FileIngestionHandle::Abort()` (or simply destroying the handle) cancels a prepared ingestion and rolls it back. This gives flexibility to the application to Prepare a file separately from when its committed, and may shorten an applications critical path on `IngestExternalFile`.
+* Added two stats histograms reporting the per-call latency (in microseconds) of each successful `IngestExternalFile`/`IngestExternalFiles` call, split by phase: `rocksdb.ingest.external.file.prepare.micros` (argument validation and reading/validating/linking the external files, which does not block live writes) and `rocksdb.ingest.external.file.run.micros` (the ingestion performed under the DB mutex while live writes are blocked). Failed ingestions are not recorded.
+* Added `DBOptions::use_direct_io_for_compaction_reads` (default false). When enabled, compaction-input SST reads use `O_DIRECT` while user reads remain buffered, avoiding page-cache eviction of hot user-read data by sequential compaction scans. Pair with `use_direct_io_for_flush_and_compaction = true` on write-heavy workloads for direct I/O on both compaction inputs and outputs. Rejected at Open when combined with `allow_mmap_reads = true`. No-op when `use_direct_reads = true` is already set (since all reads are already direct).
+
+### Public API Changes
+* `DB::GetPreparedFileInfoForExternalSstIngestion()` can now prepare metadata for a live DB-generated SST file so it can be passed to `IngestExternalFileArg::file_infos`. The input path must exactly match a live table file owned by the source DB, and the returned metadata handle must outlive the ingestion.
+* `ExternalSstFileInfo` gained a `prepared_file_info` member produced by `SstFileWriter::Finish`, and `IngestExternalFileArg` gained a `file_infos` field: a vector of borrowed `const PreparedFileInfo*` pointers, parallel to `external_files`. The owning `ExternalSstFileInfo::prepared_file_info` handle must outlive the ingestion. When set, `IngestExternalFiles()` reuses the supplied per-file metadata instead of re-opening and scanning each file to recompute it, avoiding that extra I/O.
+* Corrected the public C++ option spelling from `memtable_veirfy_per_key_checksum_on_seek` to `memtable_verify_per_key_checksum_on_seek`. RocksDB continues to accept the old misspelled OPTIONS-file key for compatibility, while newly serialized OPTIONS files use the corrected key.
+* Added experimental read-scoped block buffer provider API, configured through `ReadOptions::read_scoped_block_buffer_provider`, for supported block-based table iterator scans and MultiScan reads to use caller-provided read-scoped storage for final data-block contents. When configured, supported provider-backed scan data-block reads bypass the data-block cache. The provider is ignored when mmap reads are enabled. RocksDB may still use ordinary temporary scratch for serialized block bytes, such as when a block may be compressed. Get and MultiGet do not currently provide API guarantees for this provider.
+* Added `FileSystem::SyncFile()` and `Env::SyncFile()` public APIs for syncing or fsyncing a file by name without requiring callers to reopen it as writable.
+
+### Behavior Changes
+* The default `compression` for column families is now `kLZ4Compression` rather than `kSnappyCompression`. This affects only column families that do not explicitly set `compression`, and only newly-written SST files. The change is fully compatible: existing data remains readable with no migration needed, as RocksDB selects the decompressor per block. LZ4 offers slightly better compression ratios and decompression CPU efficiency vs. Snappy and similar compression CPU, tested across various server CPUs. When support is not compiled in, the fallback path for default compression is LZ4 -> Snappy -> NoCompression.
+* Disable parallel compression (ignore `CompressionOptions::parallel_threads`) for fast built-in compressors: Snappy, LZ4 (accelerated, not LZ4HC), and accelerated levels of ZSTD (level < 0). These do not generally benefit from parallel compression. This behavior can be overridden with a custom Compressor from a custom CompressionManager.
+* `PosixFileSystem::OptimizeForCompactionTableRead` now delegates to the base `FileSystem::OptimizeForCompactionTableRead` implementation before applying its Linux-only compaction-readahead clamp (added for #12038). The returned `FileOptions::use_direct_reads` therefore reflects `DBOptions::use_direct_reads`, consistent with the base class and with other `FileSystem` implementations. Previously the override ignored the base implementation and keyed both the returned options and the Linux readahead clamp off the incoming `FileOptions` rather than `DBOptions`. At the in-tree call site the incoming `FileOptions::use_direct_reads` already matches `DBOptions::use_direct_reads`, so this is effectively a no-op for existing configurations; it removes a latent inconsistency where a caller passing `FileOptions` whose `use_direct_reads` disagreed with `DBOptions` would have had the global flag silently ignored for compaction-input reads on Linux. (Note: the `#12038` readahead clamp still keys off the global `use_direct_reads`; it is not skipped for the compaction-only `use_direct_io_for_compaction_reads` path, since that flag enables O_DIRECT after this hook runs.)
+* Brought more unity to `kLZ4Compression` and `kLZ4HCCompression` by giving each access to the other's compression levels. Negative (fast) values previously only available to LZ4 and positive (slow) values previously only available to LZ4HC are now available to both, so configuring a non-default `compression_opts.level` now selects the LZ4 compressor variant. This is a behavior change for previously tolerated but dubious configurations such as positive compression level with `kLZ4Compression`. `kLZ4Compression` and `kLZ4HCCompression` keep their effective default levels, equivalent to -1 and 9 respectively.
+* Removed a discontinuity in `kZSTD` compression levels at `compression_opts.level == 0` by mapping that setting to `level = -1` rather than to `level = 3` as the ZSTD library does internally. This improves the compression auto-tuning landscape.
+
+### Bug Fixes
+* Fixed a bug where the range lock manager would crash with an assertion failure when using a reverse comparator column family.
+
+### Performance Improvements
+* Reduced commit latency when ingesting many external files by allowing `IngestExternalFileOptions::file_opening_threads` to open table readers for committed ingested files using multiple threads.
+* Reduced commit latency for large external file ingestions into the last level by adding `IngestExternalFileOptions::prefetch_lmax_index_and_filter_blocks`, which can skip commit-time index and filter block prefetching for cache-backed table metadata.
+
+## 11.4.0 (06/02/2026)
+### Public API Changes
+* Added `rocksdb_options_set_memtable_batch_lookup_optimization()` and `rocksdb_options_get_memtable_batch_lookup_optimization()` to the C API, exposing the existing `AdvancedColumnFamilyOptions::memtable_batch_lookup_optimization` field. This allows C API users (and downstream language bindings) to enable the skip-list memtable's batch-lookup optimization for `MultiGet`, which caches the search path between consecutive keys and reduces per-key cost from O(log N) to O(log d) where d is the distance between consecutive keys.
+* Added `rocksdb_readoptions_set_optimize_multiget_for_io()` and `rocksdb_readoptions_get_optimize_multiget_for_io()` to the C API, exposing the existing `ReadOptions::optimize_multiget_for_io` field. This allows C API users (and downstream language bindings) to opt out of the multi-level parallel MultiGet path, which only takes effect when the library is built with `USE_COROUTINES`.
+* Added `rocksdb_block_based_table_index_block_search_type_auto` enum constant and the `rocksdb_block_based_options_set_uniform_cv_threshold()` setter to the C API. The constant exposes `BlockSearchType::kAuto`, and the setter exposes `BlockBasedTableOptions::uniform_cv_threshold`. Both are required for `kAuto` index-block search to take effect from the C API: without setting `uniform_cv_threshold >= 0`, the per-block `is_uniform` footer bit is never written, and `kAuto` falls back to binary search at read time.
+* Added `EventListener::OnDBShutdownBegin`, a callback that fires once when a DB begins shutdown, including when RocksDB cleans up a failed `DB::Open()` attempt.
+* Added a new PerfContext counter `blob_cache_read_byte` for blob cache bytes read.
+
+### Behavior Changes
+* Remote compaction now falls back to local compaction when the primary cannot deserialize a successful `CompactionServiceResult` before installing any remote output files.
+* StringToMap (rocksdb/convenience.h) now preserves the outer braces of nested values so each map entry is in self-contained form and can be embedded directly into another `key=value;` string (e.g. SetOptions) without losing inner ';' delimiters. A new symmetric MapToString utility is provided.
+
+### Bug Fixes
+* Fixed a bug where `AbortAllCompactions()` could leave automatic compaction work unscheduled when aborting before the background worker picked it, causing compaction and write stalls until DB restart.
+* Fix a bug where db had a false positive compaction corruption error due to remote compaction service result with `has_accurate_num_input_records=false` not being serialized.
+* Fixed WritePrepared TransactionDB cleanup after retryable commit or rollback write failures so prepared transactions remain rollbackable instead of leaving unresolved prepared state.
+* Fix a rare corruption bug for tiered compaction that incorrectly moved last level range tombstones into proximal level. This corruption error is surfaced when force_consistency_checks is enabled.
+
+### Performance Improvements
+* Reduce the likelihood of user-facing metadata operations blocking on MANIFEST rotation when file creation is slow, such as on remote storage. MANIFEST write batches containing foreground edits from `CreateColumnFamily()`, `DropColumnFamily()`, `CreateColumnFamilyWithImport()`, `IngestExternalFile()`, and `DeleteFilesInRanges()` now get a relaxed file size threshold for triggering MANIFEST rotation; background-only MANIFEST write batches, such as compaction and flush, continue to use the normal threshold. This change should make auto-tuning manifest file size more attractive (see `max_manifest_file_size` and `max_manifest_space_amp_pct` options).
+
+
+## 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.
