	// search from L0 to L6 looking for whether there are any files in the level
	// which overlap meta. We want the "lowest" level (where lower means
	// increasing level number) in order to reduce write amplification.
	//
	// There are 2 kinds of overlap we need to check for: file boundary overlap
	// and data overlap. Data overlap implies file boundary overlap. Note that it
	// is always possible to ingest into L0.
	//
	// To place meta at level i where i > 0:
	// - there must not be any data overlap with levels <= i, since that will
	//   violate the sequence number invariant.
	// - no file boundary overlap with level i, since that will violate the
	//   invariant that files do not overlap in levels i > 0.
	//   - if there is only a file overlap at a given level, and no data overlap,
	//     we can still slot a file at that level. We return the fileMetadata with
	//     which we have file boundary overlap (must be only one file, as sstable
	//     bounds are usually tight on user keys) and the caller is expected to split
	//     that sstable into two virtual sstables, allowing this file to go into that
	//     level. Note that if we have file boundary overlap with two files, which
	//     should only happen on rare occasions, we treat it as data overlap and
	//     don't use this optimization.
	//
	// The file boundary overlap check is simpler to conceptualize. Consider the
	// following example, in which the ingested file lies completely before or
	// after the file being considered.
	//
	//   |--|           |--|  ingested file: [a,b] or [f,g]
	//         |-----|        existing file: [c,e]
	//  _____________________
	//   a  b  c  d  e  f  g
	//
	// In both cases the ingested file can move to considering the next level.
	//
	// File boundary overlap does not necessarily imply data overlap. The check
	// for data overlap is a little more nuanced. Consider the following examples:
	//
	//  1. No data overlap:
	//
	//          |-|   |--|    ingested file: [cc-d] or [ee-ff]
	//  |*--*--*----*------*| existing file: [a-g], points: [a, b, c, dd, g]
	//  _____________________
	//   a  b  c  d  e  f  g
	//
	// In this case the ingested files can "fall through" this level. The checks
	// continue at the next level.
	//
	//  2. Data overlap:
	//
	//            |--|        ingested file: [d-e]
	//  |*--*--*----*------*| existing file: [a-g], points: [a, b, c, dd, g]
	//  _____________________
	//   a  b  c  d  e  f  g
	//
	// In this case the file cannot be ingested into this level as the point 'dd'
	// is in the way.
	//
	// It is worth noting that the check for data overlap is only approximate. In
	// the previous example, the ingested table [d-e] could contain only the
	// points 'd' and 'e', in which case the table would be eligible for
	// considering lower levels. However, such a fine-grained check would need to
	// be exhaustive (comparing points and ranges in both the ingested existing

// Ingest ingests a set of sstables into the DB. Ingestion of the files is
// atomic and semantically equivalent to creating a single batch containing all
// of the mutations in the sstables. Ingestion may require the memtable to be
// flushed. The ingested sstable files are moved into the DB and must reside on
// the same filesystem as the DB. Sstables can be created for ingestion using
// sstable.Writer. On success, Ingest removes the input paths.
//
// Two types of sstables are accepted for ingestion(s): one is sstables present
// in the instance's vfs.FS and can be referenced locally. The other is sstables
// present in remote.Storage, referred to as shared or foreign sstables. These
// shared sstables can be linked through objstorageprovider.Provider, and do not
// need to already be present on the local vfs.FS. Foreign sstables must all fit
// in an excise span, and are destined for a level specified in SharedSSTMeta.
//
// All sstables *must* be Sync()'d by the caller after all bytes are written
// and before its file handle is closed; failure to do so could violate
// durability or lead to corrupted on-disk state. This method cannot, in a
// platform-and-FS-agnostic way, ensure that all sstables in the input are
// properly synced to disk. Opening new file handles and Sync()-ing them
// does not always guarantee durability; see the discussion here on that:
// https://github.com/cockroachdb/pebble/pull/835#issuecomment-663075379
//
// Ingestion loads each sstable into the lowest level of the LSM which it
// doesn't overlap (see ingestTargetLevel). If an sstable overlaps a memtable,
// ingestion forces the memtable to flush, and then waits for the flush to
// occur. In some cases, such as with no foreign sstables and no excise span,
// ingestion that gets blocked on a memtable can join the flushable queue and
// finish even before the memtable has been flushed.
//
// The steps for ingestion are:
//
//  1. Allocate file numbers for every sstable being ingested.
//  2. Load the metadata for all sstables being ingested.
//  3. Sort the sstables by smallest key, verifying non overlap (for local
//     sstables).
//  4. Hard link (or copy) the local sstables into the DB directory.
//  5. Allocate a sequence number to use for all of the entries in the
//     local sstables. This is the step where overlap with memtables is
//     determined. If there is overlap, we remember the most recent memtable
//     that overlaps.
//  6. Update the sequence number in the ingested local sstables. (Remote
//     sstables get fixed sequence numbers that were determined at load time.)
//  7. Wait for the most recent memtable that overlaps to flush (if any).
//  8. Add the ingested sstables to the version (DB.ingestApply).
//     8.1.  If an excise span was specified, figure out what sstables in the
//     current version overlap with the excise span, and create new virtual
//     sstables out of those sstables that exclude the excised span (DB.excise).
//  9. Publish the ingestion sequence number.
//
// Note that if the mutable memtable overlaps with ingestion, a flush of the
// memtable is forced equivalent to DB.Flush. Additionally, subsequent
// mutations that get sequence numbers larger than the ingestion sequence
// number get queued up behind the ingestion waiting for it to complete. This
// can produce a noticeable hiccup in performance. See
// https://github.com/cockroachdb/pebble/issues/25 for an idea for how to fix
