//! Write engine for SSTable generation and persistence (M5)
//!
//! This module provides the write path for CQLite, implementing WAL-backed
//! memtable flushing and K-way merge for producing valid Cassandra 5.0 SSTables.
//!
//! ## Architecture
//!
//! The WriteEngine is the public API that coordinates:
//! 1. WAL (Write-Ahead Log) - Durability
//! 2. Memtable - In-memory buffer
//! 3. SSTableWriter - On-disk persistence
//!
//! ## Write Flow
//!
//! 1. User calls `write(mutation)` or `execute(cql_statement)`
//! 2. WriteEngine appends to WAL (durability)
//! 3. WriteEngine inserts into Memtable
//! 4. When Memtable exceeds threshold → flush to SSTable
//! 5. After successful flush → truncate WAL
//!
//! ## Recovery
//!
//! On startup, the WriteEngine replays WAL entries into the memtable.

/// workloads** — a process crash between a successful `write` and a later
/// `flush` will lose mutations written with `Disabled`.
///
/// ## When to use `Disabled`
///
/// - **Bulk-load / import pipelines** where the source data is replayable and
///   you are willing to re-run the load on failure.
/// - **Benchmarking** where you want to isolate CPU-bound write throughput from
///   fsync latency.  The companion `write/ingest_wal_off` Criterion bench uses
///   this variant (see `cqlite-core/benches/write.rs`).
///
/// In both cases, call [`WriteEngine::flush`] (and, optionally,
/// [`WriteEngine::close`]) when the load is finished so the data is durably
/// persisted to SSTables.
///
/// ## WAL replay on restart
///
/// When `Disabled`, no WAL entries are written.  Reopening the engine on the
/// same `wal_dir` after a crash will replay **zero** mutations, even if
/// `flush` was never called.  If you need crash-safe recovery, use
/// `SyncEachWrite`.
