Redwood Storage Engine Update

links:none on file
slides:none on file

Redwood is a B+ tree storage engine for FoundationDB that ships in recent 6.2 patches and targets higher I/O throughput and smaller on-disk footprints. It implements multi-version pages, prefix compression across and within nodes, a pager with a new delayed write-ahead log to bound page-table memory, and deferred range clears that show about 100x less IO in tests (40M records, 100k prefixes, 32B values; load ~116s, ~1.5GB footprint with 2GB cache). Remaining work: CPU optimizations, node merging, stable on-disk format; first production mode is FDB 7.0 single-version only.
