理清 leveldb 的 recover 流程对于了解 leveldb 如何保证数据正确性和一致性（即便在节点解体的状况下）是十分有帮忙的。
首先从 Open 函数开始，结构一个 DBImpl 实例，而后调用了其 Recover 办法。
Status DB::Open(const Options& options, const std::string& dbname,
DB** dbptr) {
*dbptr = NULL;
DBImpl* impl = new DBImpl(options, dbname);
impl->mutex_.Lock();
VersionEdit edit;
// Recover handles create_if_missing, error_if_exists
bool save_manifest = false;
Status s = impl->Recover(&edit, &save_manifest);
if (s.ok() && impl->mem_ == NULL) {
// Create new log and a corresponding memtable.
uint64_t new_log_number = impl->versions_->NewFileNumber();
WritableFile* lfile;
s = options.env->NewWritableFile(LogFileName(dbname, new_log_number),
&lfile);
if (s.ok()) {edit.SetLogNumber(new_log_number);
impl->logfile_ = lfile;
impl->logfile_number_ = new_log_number;
impl->log_ = new log::Writer(lfile);
impl->mem_ = new MemTable(impl->internal_comparator_);
impl->mem_->Ref();}
}
if (s.ok() && save_manifest) {edit.SetPrevLogNumber(0); // No older logs needed after recovery.
edit.SetLogNumber(impl->logfile_number_);
s = impl->versions_->LogAndApply(&edit, &impl->mutex_);
}
if (s.ok()) {impl->DeleteObsoleteFiles();
impl->MaybeScheduleCompaction();}
impl->mutex_.Unlock();
if (s.ok()) {assert(impl->mem_ != NULL);
*dbptr = impl;
} else {delete impl;}
return s;
}Status DBImpl::Recover(VersionEdit* edit, bool *save_manifest) {mutex_.AssertHeld();
// Ignore error from CreateDir since the creation of the DB is
// committed only when the descriptor is created, and this directory
// may already exist from a previous failed creation attempt.
env_->CreateDir(dbname_);
assert(db_lock_ == NULL);
Status s = env_->LockFile(LockFileName(dbname_), &db_lock_);
if (!s.ok()) {return s;}
if (!env_->FileExists(CurrentFileName(dbname_))) {if (options_.create_if_missing) {s = NewDB();
if (!s.ok()) {return s;}
} else {
return Status::InvalidArgument(dbname_, "does not exist (create_if_missing is false)");
}
} else {if (options_.error_if_exists) {
return Status::InvalidArgument(dbname_, "exists (error_if_exists is true)");
}
}
// 这里调用了 versions_->Recover 函数
s = versions_->Recover(save_manifest);
if (!s.ok()) {return s;}
SequenceNumber max_sequence(0);
// Recover from all newer log files than the ones named in the
// descriptor (new log files may have been added by the previous
// incarnation without registering them in the descriptor).
//
// Note that PrevLogNumber() is no longer used, but we pay
// attention to it in case we are recovering a database
// produced by an older version of leveldb.
// 以下是复原在 descriptor 中记录的最初一个 log file 之后的所有日志文件
const uint64_t min_log = versions_->LogNumber();
const uint64_t prev_log = versions_->PrevLogNumber();
std::vector<std::string> filenames;
s = env_->GetChildren(dbname_, &filenames);
if (!s.ok()) {return s;}
std::set<uint64_t> expected;
versions_->AddLiveFiles(&expected);
uint64_t number;
FileType type;
std::vector<uint64_t> logs;
for (size_t i = 0; i < filenames.size(); i++) {if (ParseFileName(filenames[i], &number, &type)) {expected.erase(number);
// 对于日志文件而言，所有文件编号大于等于 versions_->LogNumber() 的日志文件都没有来得及被写入以后版本，此时须要回放。if (type == kLogFile && ((number >= min_log) || (number == prev_log)))
logs.push_back(number);
}
}
if (!expected.empty()) {char buf[50];
snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "%d missing files; e.g.",
static_cast<int>(expected.size()));
return Status::Corruption(buf, TableFileName(dbname_, *(expected.begin())));
}
// Recover in the order in which the logs were generated
std::sort(logs.begin(), logs.end());
for (size_t i = 0; i < logs.size(); i++) {s = RecoverLogFile(logs[i], (i == logs.size() - 1), save_manifest, edit,
&max_sequence);
if (!s.ok()) {return s;}
// The previous incarnation may not have written any MANIFEST
// records after allocating this log number. So we manually
// update the file number allocation counter in VersionSet.
versions_->MarkFileNumberUsed(logs[i]);
}
if (versions_->LastSequence() < max_sequence) {versions_->SetLastSequence(max_sequence);
}
return Status::OK();}上面关注下 versions_->Recover() 函数
Status VersionSet::Recover(bool *save_manifest) {

}
current.resize(current.size() - 1);
