Joseph Fernandes 58d1a9be56 tier/ctr: Solution for db locks for tier migrator and ctr using sqlite version less than 3.7 i.e rhel 6.7
Problem: On RHEL 6.7, we have sqlite version 3.6.2 which doesnt support
WAL journaling mode, as this journaling mode is only available in sqlite 3.7 and above.
As a result we cannot have to progreses concurrently accessing sqlite, without
running into db locks! Well WAL is also need for performace on CTR side.

Solution: This solution is to use CTR db connection for doing queries when WAL mode is
absent. i,e tier migrator will send sync_op ipc calls to CTR, which in turn will
do the query and create/update the query file suggested by tier migrator.

Pending: Well this solution will stop the db locks but the performance is still an issue for CTR.
We are developing an in-Memory Transaction Log (iMeTaL) which will help boost the CTR
performance by doing in memory udpates on the IO path and later flush the updates to
the db in a batch/segment flush.
