Unfortunately, rusqlite uses the opposite logic for enabling/disabling
bundled libraries to others (libsodium-sys, zstd-sys). Cargo features
are very limited and doesn't allow to enable feature A in a dependency
iff feature B is disabled.
Note, lmdb-rkv-sys doesn't need any special treatment because it
automatically links against system liblmdb if found via pkgconf.
Linux distros should build garage with
`--no-default-features --features system-libs` to disable bundled-libs
and enable system-libs.
- [x] New background worker trait
- [x] Adapt all current workers to use new API
- [x] Command to list currently running workers, and whether they are active, idle, or dead
- [x] Error reporting
- Optimizations
- [x] Merkle updater: several items per iteration
- [ ] Use `tokio::task::spawn_blocking` where appropriate so that CPU-intensive tasks don't block other things going on
- scrub:
- [x] have only one worker with a channel to start/pause/cancel
- [x] automatic scrub
- [x] ability to view and change tranquility from CLI
- [x] persistence of a few info
- [ ] Testing

Fix#284
**Bugs**
- [x] When exporting sqlite, trees iterate empty??
- [x] LMDB doesn't work
**Known issues for various back-ends**
- Sled:
- Eats all my RAM and also all my disk space
- `.len()` has to traverse the whole table
- Is actually quite slow on some operations
- And is actually pretty bad code...
- Sqlite:
- Requires a lock to be taken on all operations. The lock is also taken when iterating on a table with `.iter()`, and the lock isn't released until the iterator is dropped. This means that we must be VERY carefull to not do anything else inside a `.iter()` loop or else we will have a deadlock! Most such cases have been eliminated from the Garage codebase, but there might still be some that remain. If your Garage-over-Sqlite seems to hang/freeze, this is the reason.
- (adapter uses a bunch of unsafe code)
- Heed (LMDB):
- Not suited for 32-bit machines as it has to map the whole DB in memory.
- (adpater uses a tiny bit of unsafe code)
**My recommendation:** avoid 32-bit machines and use LMDB as much as possible.
**Converting databases** is actually quite easy. For example from Sled to LMDB:
```bash
cd src/db
cargo run --features cli --bin convert -- -i path/to/garage/meta/db -a sled -o path/to/garage/meta/db.lmdb -b lmdb
```
Then, just add this to your `config.toml`:
```toml
db_engine = "lmdb"
```
