+package org.apache.spark
+
+/**
+ * This package implements Spark's memory management system. This system consists of two main
+ * components, a JVM-wide memory manager and a per-task manager:
+ *
+ * - [[org.apache.spark.memory.MemoryManager]] manages Spark's overall memory usage within a JVM.
+ *   This component implements the policies for dividing the available memory across tasks and for
+ *   allocating memory between storage (memory used caching and data transfer) and execution (memory
+ *   used by computations, such as shuffles, joins, sorts, and aggregations).
+ * - [[org.apache.spark.memory.TaskMemoryManager]] manages the memory allocated by individual tasks.
+ *   Tasks interact with TaskMemoryManager and never directly interact with the JVM-wide
+ *   MemoryManager.
+ *
+ * Internally, each of these components have additional abstractions for memory bookkeeping:
+ *
+ *  - [[org.apache.spark.memory.MemoryConsumer]]s are clients of the TaskMemoryManager and
+ *    correspond to individual operators and data structures within a task. The TaskMemoryManager
+ *    receives memory allocation requests from MemoryConsumers and issues callbacks to consumers
+ *    in order to trigger spilling when running low on memory.
+ *  - [[org.apache.spark.memory.MemoryPool]]s are a bookkeeping abstraction used by the
+ *    MemoryManager to track the division of memory between storage and execution.
+ *
+ * Diagrammatically:
+ *
+ * {{{
+ *       +-------------+
+ *       | MemConsumer |----+                                   +------------------------+

+ * }}}
+ *
+ *
+ * There are two implementations of [[org.apache.spark.memory.MemoryManager]] which vary in how
+ * they handle the sizing of their memory pools:
+ *
+ *  - [[org.apache.spark.memory.UnifiedMemoryManager]], the default in Spark 1.6+, enforces soft
+ *    boundaries between storage and execution memory, allowing requests for memory in one region
+ *    to be fulfilled by borrowing memory from the other.
+ *  - [[org.apache.spark.memory.StaticMemoryManager]] enforces hard boundaries between storage
+ *    and execution memory by statically partitioning Spark's memory and preventing storage and
+ *    execution from borrowing memory from each other. This mode is retained only for legacy
+ *    compatibility purposes.

+ * In sort-based shuffle, incoming records are sorted according to their target partition ids, then
+ * written to a single map output file. Reducers fetch contiguous regions of this file in order to
+ * read their portion of the map output. In cases where the map output data is too large to fit in
+ * memory, sorted subsets of the output can are spilled to disk and those on-disk files are merged
+ * to produce the final output file.
+ *
+ * Sort-based shuffle has two different write paths for producing its map output files:
+ *
+ *  - Serialized sorting: used when all three of the following conditions hold:
+ *    1. The shuffle dependency specifies no aggregation or output ordering.
+ *    2. The shuffle serializer supports relocation of serialized values (this is currently
+ *       supported by KryoSerializer and Spark SQL's custom serializers).
+ *    3. The shuffle produces fewer than 16777216 output partitions.
+ *  - Deserialized sorting: used to handle all other cases.
+ *
+ * -----------------------
+ * Serialized sorting mode
+ * -----------------------
+ *
+ * In the serialized sorting mode, incoming records are serialized as soon as they are passed to the
+ * shuffle writer and are buffered in a serialized form during sorting. This write path implements
+ * several optimizations:
+ *
+ *  - Its sort operates on serialized binary data rather than Java objects, which reduces memory
+ *    consumption and GC overheads. This optimization requires the record serializer to have certain
+ *    properties to allow serialized records to be re-ordered without requiring deserialization.
+ *    See SPARK-4550, where this optimization was first proposed and implemented, for more details.
+ *
+ *  - It uses a specialized cache-efficient sorter ([[ShuffleExternalSorter]]) that sorts
+ *    arrays of compressed record pointers and partition ids. By using only 8 bytes of space per
+ *    record in the sorting array, this fits more of the array into cache.
+ *
+ *  - The spill merging procedure operates on blocks of serialized records that belong to the same
+ *    partition and does not need to deserialize records during the merge.
+ *
+ *  - When the spill compression codec supports concatenation of compressed data, the spill merge
+ *    simply concatenates the serialized and compressed spill partitions to produce the final output
+ *    partition.  This allows efficient data copying methods, like NIO's `transferTo`, to be used
+ *    and avoids the need to allocate decompression or copying buffers during the merge.
+ *
+ * For more details on these optimizations, see SPARK-7081.

-/**
- * A shuffle implementation that uses directly-managed memory to implement several performance
- * optimizations for certain types of shuffles. In cases where the new performance optimizations
- * cannot be applied, this shuffle manager delegates to [[SortShuffleManager]] to handle those
- * shuffles.
- *
- * UnsafeShuffleManager's optimizations will apply when _all_ of the following conditions hold:
- *
- *  - The shuffle dependency specifies no aggregation or output ordering.
- *  - The shuffle serializer supports relocation of serialized values (this is currently supported
- *    by KryoSerializer and Spark SQL's custom serializers).
- *  - The shuffle produces fewer than 16777216 output partitions.
- *  - No individual record is larger than 128 MB when serialized.
- *
- * In addition, extra spill-merging optimizations are automatically applied when the shuffle
- * compression codec supports concatenation of serialized streams. This is currently supported by
- * Spark's LZF serializer.
- *
- * At a high-level, UnsafeShuffleManager's design is similar to Spark's existing SortShuffleManager.
- * In sort-based shuffle, incoming records are sorted according to their target partition ids, then
- * written to a single map output file. Reducers fetch contiguous regions of this file in order to
- * read their portion of the map output. In cases where the map output data is too large to fit in
- * memory, sorted subsets of the output can are spilled to disk and those on-disk files are merged
- * to produce the final output file.
- *
- * UnsafeShuffleManager optimizes this process in several ways:
- *
- *  - Its sort operates on serialized binary data rather than Java objects, which reduces memory
- *    consumption and GC overheads. This optimization requires the record serializer to have certain
- *    properties to allow serialized records to be re-ordered without requiring deserialization.
- *    See SPARK-4550, where this optimization was first proposed and implemented, for more details.
- *
- *  - It uses a specialized cache-efficient sorter ([[UnsafeShuffleExternalSorter]]) that sorts
- *    arrays of compressed record pointers and partition ids. By using only 8 bytes of space per
- *    record in the sorting array, this fits more of the array into cache.
- *
- *  - The spill merging procedure operates on blocks of serialized records that belong to the same
- *    partition and does not need to deserialize records during the merge.
- *
- *  - When the spill compression codec supports concatenation of compressed data, the spill merge
- *    simply concatenates the serialized and compressed spill partitions to produce the final output
- *    partition.  This allows efficient data copying methods, like NIO's `transferTo`, to be used
- *    and avoids the need to allocate decompression or copying buffers during the merge.
- *
- * For more details on UnsafeShuffleManager's design, see SPARK-7081.

-/**
- * Append-only buffer of key-value pairs, each with a corresponding partition ID, that serializes
- * its records upon insert and stores them as raw bytes.
- *
- * We use two data-structures to store the contents. The serialized records are stored in a
- * ChainedBuffer that can expand gracefully as records are added. This buffer is accompanied by a
- * metadata buffer that stores pointers into the data buffer as well as the partition ID of each
- * record. Each entry in the metadata buffer takes up a fixed amount of space.
- *
- * Sorting the collection means swapping entries in the metadata buffer - the record buffer need not
- * be modified at all. Storing the partition IDs in the metadata buffer means that comparisons can
- * happen without following any pointers, which should minimize cache misses.
- *
- * Currently, only sorting by partition is supported.
- *
- * Each record is laid out inside the the metaBuffer as follows. keyStart, a long, is split across
- * two integers:
- *
- *   +-------------+------------+------------+-------------+
- *   |         keyStart         | keyValLen  | partitionId |
- *   +-------------+------------+------------+-------------+
- *
- * The buffer can support up to `536870911 (2 ^ 29 - 1)` records.
- *
- * @param metaInitialRecords The initial number of entries in the metadata buffer.
- * @param kvBlockSize The size of each byte buffer in the ChainedBuffer used to store the records.

-title: Third-Party Hadoop Distributions
----
-
-Spark can run against all versions of Cloudera's Distribution Including Apache Hadoop (CDH) and
-the Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP). There are a few things to keep in mind when using Spark
-with these distributions:
-
-# Compile-time Hadoop Version
-
-When compiling Spark, you'll need to specify the Hadoop version by defining the `hadoop.version`
-property. For certain versions, you will need to specify additional profiles. For more detail,
-see the guide on [building with maven](building-spark.html#specifying-the-hadoop-version):
-
-    mvn -Dhadoop.version=1.0.4 -DskipTests clean package
-    mvn -Phadoop-2.3 -Dhadoop.version=2.3.0 -DskipTests clean package
-
-The table below lists the corresponding `hadoop.version` code for each CDH/HDP release. Note that
-some Hadoop releases are binary compatible across client versions. This means the pre-built Spark
-distribution may "just work" without you needing to compile. That said, we recommend compiling with
-the _exact_ Hadoop version you are running to avoid any compatibility errors.
-
-

    HDP 2.02.2.0
    
-    
    
-
-In SBT, the equivalent can be achieved by setting the the `hadoop.version` property:
-
-    build/sbt -Dhadoop.version=1.0.4 assembly
-
-# Linking Applications to the Hadoop Version
-
-In addition to compiling Spark itself against the right version, you need to add a Maven dependency on that
-version of `hadoop-client` to any Spark applications you run, so they can also talk to the HDFS version
-on the cluster. If you are using CDH, you also need to add the Cloudera Maven repository.
-This looks as follows in SBT:
-
-{% highlight scala %}
-libraryDependencies += "org.apache.hadoop" % "hadoop-client" % ""
-
-// If using CDH, also add Cloudera repo
-resolvers += "Cloudera Repository" at "https://repository.cloudera.com/artifactory/cloudera-repos/"
-{% endhighlight %}
-
-Or in Maven:
-
-{% highlight xml %}
-
-  
-    ...
-    
-      org.apache.hadoop
-      hadoop-client
-      [version]
-    
-  
-
-  
-  
-    ...
-    
-      Cloudera repository
-      https://repository.cloudera.com/artifactory/cloudera-repos/

-
-# Where to Run Spark
-
-As described in the [Hardware Provisioning](hardware-provisioning.html#storage-systems) guide,
-Spark can run in a variety of deployment modes:
-
-* Using dedicated set of Spark nodes in your cluster. These nodes should be co-located with your
-  Hadoop installation.
-* Running on the same nodes as an existing Hadoop installation, with a fixed amount memory and
-  cores dedicated to Spark on each node.
-* Run Spark alongside Hadoop using a cluster resource manager, such as YARN or Mesos.
-
-These options are identical for those using CDH and HDP.
-
-# Inheriting Cluster Configuration
-
-If you plan to read and write from HDFS using Spark, there are two Hadoop configuration files that
-should be included on Spark's classpath:
-
-* `hdfs-site.xml`, which provides default behaviors for the HDFS client.
-* `core-site.xml`, which sets the default filesystem name.
-
-The location of these configuration files varies across CDH and HDP versions, but
-a common location is inside of `/etc/hadoop/conf`. Some tools, such as Cloudera Manager, create
-configurations on-the-fly, but offer a mechanisms to download copies of them.
-
-To make these files visible to Spark, set `HADOOP_CONF_DIR` in `$SPARK_HOME/spark-env.sh`
-to a location containing the configuration files.

+
+
+In `spark.ml`, we implement the [Accelerated failure time (AFT)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerated_failure_time_model) 
+model which is a parametric survival regression model for censored data. 
+It describes a model for the log of survival time, so it's often called 
+log-linear model for survival analysis. Different from 
+[Proportional hazards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_hazards_model) model
+designed for the same purpose, the AFT model is more easily to parallelize 
+because each instance contribute to the objective function independently.
+
+Given the values of the covariates $x^{'}$, for random lifetime $t_{i}$ of 
+subjects i = 1, ..., n, with possible right-censoring, 
+the likelihood function under the AFT model is given as:
+`\[
+L(\beta,\sigma)=\prod_{i=1}^n[\frac{1}{\sigma}f_{0}(\frac{\log{t_{i}}-x^{'}\beta}{\sigma})]^{\delta_{i}}S_{0}(\frac{\log{t_{i}}-x^{'}\beta}{\sigma})^{1-\delta_{i}}
+\]`
+Where $\delta_{i}$ is the indicator of the event has occurred i.e. uncensored or not.
+Using $\epsilon_{i}=\frac{\log{t_{i}}-x^{'}\beta}{\sigma}$, the log-likelihood function
+assumes the form:
+`\[
+\iota(\beta,\sigma)=\sum_{i=1}^{n}[-\delta_{i}\log\sigma+\delta_{i}\log{f_{0}}(\epsilon_{i})+(1-\delta_{i})\log{S_{0}(\epsilon_{i})}]
+\]`
+Where $S_{0}(\epsilon_{i})$ is the baseline survivor function,
+and $f_{0}(\epsilon_{i})$ is corresponding density function.
+
+The most commonly used AFT model is based on the Weibull distribution of the survival time. 
+The Weibull distribution for lifetime corresponding to extreme value distribution for 
+log of the lifetime, and the $S_{0}(\epsilon)$ function is:
+`\[   
+S_{0}(\epsilon_{i})=\exp(-e^{\epsilon_{i}})
+\]`
+the $f_{0}(\epsilon_{i})$ function is:
+`\[
+f_{0}(\epsilon_{i})=e^{\epsilon_{i}}\exp(-e^{\epsilon_{i}})
+\]`
+The log-likelihood function for AFT model with Weibull distribution of lifetime is:
+`\[
+\iota(\beta,\sigma)= -\sum_{i=1}^n[\delta_{i}\log\sigma-\delta_{i}\epsilon_{i}+e^{\epsilon_{i}}]
+\]`
+Due to minimizing the negative log-likelihood equivalent to maximum a posteriori probability,
+the loss function we use to optimize is $-\iota(\beta,\sigma)$.
+The gradient functions for $\beta$ and $\log\sigma$ respectively are:
+`\[   
+\frac{\partial (-\iota)}{\partial \beta}=\sum_{1=1}^{n}[\delta_{i}-e^{\epsilon_{i}}]\frac{x_{i}}{\sigma}
+\]`
+`\[ 
+\frac{\partial (-\iota)}{\partial (\log\sigma)}=\sum_{i=1}^{n}[\delta_{i}+(\delta_{i}-e^{\epsilon_{i}})\epsilon_{i}]
+\]`
+
+The AFT model can be formulated as a convex optimization problem, 
+i.e. the task of finding a minimizer of a convex function $-\iota(\beta,\sigma)$ 
+that depends coefficients vector $\beta$ and the log of scale parameter $\log\sigma$.
+The optimization algorithm underlying the implementation is L-BFGS.
+The implementation matches the result from R's survival function

 [Apache Kafka](http://kafka.apache.org/) is publish-subscribe messaging rethought as a distributed, partitioned, replicated commit log service. Here we explain how to configure Spark Streaming to receive data from Kafka. There are two approaches to this - the old approach using Receivers and Kafka's high-level API, and a new experimental approach (introduced in Spark 1.3) without using Receivers. They have different programming models, performance characteristics, and semantics guarantees, so read on for more details.
 
 ## Approach 1: Receiver-based Approach
-This approach uses a Receiver to receive the data. The Received is implemented using the Kafka high-level consumer API. As with all receivers, the data received from Kafka through a Receiver is stored in Spark executors, and then jobs launched by Spark Streaming processes the data. 
+This approach uses a Receiver to receive the data. The Receiver is implemented using the Kafka high-level consumer API. As with all receivers, the data received from Kafka through a Receiver is stored in Spark executors, and then jobs launched by Spark Streaming processes the data. 
 
 However, under default configuration, this approach can lose data under failures (see [receiver reliability](streaming-programming-guide.html#receiver-reliability). To ensure zero-data loss, you have to additionally enable Write Ahead Logs in Spark Streaming (introduced in Spark 1.2). This synchronously saves all the received Kafka data into write ahead logs on a distributed file system (e.g HDFS), so that all the data can be recovered on failure. See [Deploying section](streaming-programming-guide.html#deploying-applications) in the streaming programming guide for more details on Write Ahead Logs.

+ * The bisecting steps of clusters on the same level are grouped together to increase parallelism.

+ * A customized frame decoder that allows intercepting raw data.

+ * This behaves like Netty's frame decoder (with harcoded parameters that match this library's
+ * needs), except it allows an interceptor to be installed to read data directly before it's
+ * framed.
+ * 
    
+ * Unlike Netty's frame decoder, each frame is dispatched to child handlers as soon as it's
+ * decoded, instead of building as many frames as the current buffer allows and dispatching
+ * all of them. This allows a child handler to install an interceptor if needed.
+ * 
    
+ * If an interceptor is installed, framing stops, and data is instead fed directly to the
+ * interceptor. When the interceptor indicates that it doesn't need to read any more data,
+ * framing resumes. Interceptors should not hold references to the data buffers provided
+ * to their handle() method.

+ * This rule rewrites an aggregate query with distinct aggregations into an expanded double

+ *   val data = Seq(
+ *     ("a", "ca1", "cb1", 10),
+ *     ("a", "ca1", "cb2", 5),

+ *       countDistinct($"cat2").as("cat2_cnt"),

+ * This rule rewrites this logical plan to the following (pseudo) logical plan:

+ *
+ * The rule does the following things here:
+ * 1. Expand the data. There are three aggregation groups in this query:
+ *    i. the non-distinct group;
+ *    ii. the distinct 'cat1 group;
+ *    iii. the distinct 'cat2 group.
+ *    An expand operator is inserted to expand the child data for each group. The expand will null
+ *    out all unused columns for the given group; this must be done in order to ensure correctness
+ *    later on. Groups can by identified by a group id (gid) column added by the expand operator.
+ * 2. De-duplicate the distinct paths and aggregate the non-aggregate path. The group by clause of
+ *    this aggregate consists of the original group by clause, all the requested distinct columns
+ *    and the group id. Both de-duplication of distinct column and the aggregation of the
+ *    non-distinct group take advantage of the fact that we group by the group id (gid) and that we
+ *    have nulled out all non-relevant columns for the the given group.
+ * 3. Aggregating the distinct groups and combining this with the results of the non-distinct
+ *    aggregation. In this step we use the group id to filter the inputs for the aggregate
+ *    functions. The result of the non-distinct group are 'aggregated' by using the first operator,
+ *    it might be more elegant to use the native UDAF merge mechanism for this in the future.
+ *
+ * This rule duplicates the input data by two or more times (# distinct groups + an optional
+ * non-distinct group). This will put quite a bit of memory pressure of the used aggregate and
+ * exchange operators. Keeping the number of distinct groups as low a possible should be priority,
+ * we could improve this in the current rule by applying more advanced expression cannocalization
+ * techniques.

+/**
+ * A [[Dataset]] is a strongly typed collection of objects that can be transformed in parallel
+ * using functional or relational operations.
+ *
+ * A [[Dataset]] differs from an [[RDD]] in the following ways:
+ *  - Internally, a [[Dataset]] is represented by a Catalyst logical plan and the data is stored
+ *    in the encoded form.  This representation allows for additional logical operations and
+ *    enables many operations (sorting, shuffling, etc.) to be performed without deserializing to
+ *    an object.
+ *  - The creation of a [[Dataset]] requires the presence of an explicit [[Encoder]] that can be
+ *    used to serialize the object into a binary format.  Encoders are also capable of mapping the
+ *    schema of a given object to the Spark SQL type system.  In contrast, RDDs rely on runtime
+ *    reflection based serialization. Operations that change the type of object stored in the
+ *    dataset also need an encoder for the new type.
+ *
+ * A [[Dataset]] can be thought of as a specialized DataFrame, where the elements map to a specific
+ * JVM object type, instead of to a generic [[Row]] container. A DataFrame can be transformed into
+ * specific Dataset by calling `df.as[ElementType]`.  Similarly you can transform a strongly-typed
+ * [[Dataset]] to a generic DataFrame by calling `ds.toDF()`.
+ *
+ * COMPATIBILITY NOTE: Long term we plan to make [[DataFrame]] extend `Dataset[Row]`.  However,
+ * making this change to the class hierarchy would break the function signatures for the existing
+ * functional operations (map, flatMap, etc).  As such, this class should be considered a preview
+ * of the final API.  Changes will be made to the interface after Spark 1.6.
+ *
+ * @since 1.6.0

+/**
+ * A coordinator used to determines how we shuffle data between stages generated by Spark SQL.
+ * Right now, the work of this coordinator is to determine the number of post-shuffle partitions
+ * for a stage that needs to fetch shuffle data from one or multiple stages.
+ *
+ * A coordinator is constructed with three parameters, `numExchanges`,
+ * `targetPostShuffleInputSize`, and `minNumPostShufflePartitions`.
+ *  - `numExchanges` is used to indicated that how many [[Exchange]]s that will be registered to
+ *    this coordinator. So, when we start to do any actual work, we have a way to make sure that
+ *    we have got expected number of [[Exchange]]s.
+ *  - `targetPostShuffleInputSize` is the targeted size of a post-shuffle partition's
+ *    input data size. With this parameter, we can estimate the number of post-shuffle partitions.
+ *    This parameter is configured through
+ *    `spark.sql.adaptive.shuffle.targetPostShuffleInputSize`.
+ *  - `minNumPostShufflePartitions` is an optional parameter. If it is defined, this coordinator
+ *    will try to make sure that there are at least `minNumPostShufflePartitions` post-shuffle
+ *    partitions.
+ *
+ * The workflow of this coordinator is described as follows:
+ *  - Before the execution of a [[SparkPlan]], for an [[Exchange]] operator,
+ *    if an [[ExchangeCoordinator]] is assigned to it, it registers itself to this coordinator.
+ *    This happens in the `doPrepare` method.
+ *  - Once we start to execute a physical plan, an [[Exchange]] registered to this coordinator will
+ *    call `postShuffleRDD` to get its corresponding post-shuffle [[ShuffledRowRDD]].
+ *    If this coordinator has made the decision on how to shuffle data, this [[Exchange]] will
+ *    immediately get its corresponding post-shuffle [[ShuffledRowRDD]].
+ *  - If this coordinator has not made the decision on how to shuffle data, it will ask those
+ *    registered [[Exchange]]s to submit their pre-shuffle stages. Then, based on the the size
+ *    statistics of pre-shuffle partitions, this coordinator will determine the number of
+ *    post-shuffle partitions and pack multiple pre-shuffle partitions with continuous indices
+ *    to a single post-shuffle partition whenever necessary.
+ *  - Finally, this coordinator will create post-shuffle [[ShuffledRowRDD]]s for all registered
+ *    [[Exchange]]s. So, when an [[Exchange]] calls `postShuffleRDD`, this coordinator can
+ *    lookup the corresponding [[RDD]].
+ *
+ * The strategy used to determine the number of post-shuffle partitions is described as follows.
+ * To determine the number of post-shuffle partitions, we have a target input size for a
+ * post-shuffle partition. Once we have size statistics of pre-shuffle partitions from stages
+ * corresponding to the registered [[Exchange]]s, we will do a pass of those statistics and
+ * pack pre-shuffle partitions with continuous indices to a single post-shuffle partition until
+ * the size of a post-shuffle partition is equal or greater than the target size.
+ * For example, we have two stages with the following pre-shuffle partition size statistics:
+ * stage 1: [100 MB, 20 MB, 100 MB, 10MB, 30 MB]
+ * stage 2: [10 MB,  10 MB, 70 MB,  5 MB, 5 MB]
+ * assuming the target input size is 128 MB, we will have three post-shuffle partitions,
+ * which are:
+ *  - post-shuffle partition 0: pre-shuffle partition 0 and 1
+ *  - post-shuffle partition 1: pre-shuffle partition 2
+ *  - post-shuffle partition 2: pre-shuffle partition 3 and 4

+/**
+ * A wrapper for a WriteAheadLog that batches records before writing data. Handles aggregation
+ * during writes, and de-aggregation in the `readAll` method. The end consumer has to handle
+ * de-aggregation after the `read` method. In addition, the `WriteAheadLogRecordHandle` returned
+ * after the write will contain the batch of records rather than individual records.
+ *
+ * When writing a batch of records, the `time` passed to the `wrappedLog` will be the timestamp
+ * of the latest record in the batch. This is very important in achieving correctness. Consider the
+ * following example:
+ * We receive records with timestamps 1, 3, 5, 7. We use "log-1" as the filename. Once we receive
+ * a clean up request for timestamp 3, we would clean up the file "log-1", and lose data regarding
+ * 5 and 7.
+ *
+ * This means the caller can assume the same write semantics as any other WriteAheadLog
+ * implementation despite the batching in the background - when the write() returns, the data is
+ * written to the WAL and is durable. To take advantage of the batching, the caller can write from
+ * multiple threads, each of which will stay blocked until the corresponding data has been written.
+ *
+ * All other methods of the WriteAheadLog interface will be passed on to the wrapped WriteAheadLog.

+     *
+     * - For any key, there can be 2 types of update ops on a state map - put or remove
+     *
+     * - These operations are done on a test map in "sets". After each set, the map is "copied"
+     *   to create a new map, and the next set of operations are done on the new one. This tests
+     *   whether the map data persistes correctly across copies.
+     *
+     * - Within each set, there are a number of operations to test whether the map correctly
+     *   updates and removes data without affecting the parent state map.
+     *
+     * - Overall this creates (numSets * numOpsPerSet) operations, each of which that can 2 types
+     *   of operations. This leads to a total of [2 ^ (numSets * numOpsPerSet)] different sequence
+     *   of operations, which we will test with different keys.

+     * Example: With numSets = 2, and numOpsPerSet = 2 give numTotalOps = 4. This means that
+     * 2 ^ 4 = 16 possible permutations needs to be tested using 16 keys.
