Scan all pages from specified range (metaPageId + [offset -> total])

1. acquire page
   1. if the checkpoint is finished (after key change) and page is dirty - skip this page .if the checkpoint is not finished or page is not dirty
      1. lock page
      2. unlock page (dirty=true)
2. release page

...

Reencryption status requires an additional 8 bytes on the meta page of each partition.
Index partition uses PageMetaIO to read/write meta information (page type T_META).
Each other partition uses PagePartitionMetaIO to read/write meta information (page type T_PART_META).

Partition meta starts just after the end of the page meta.

To store an additional 8 bytes partition meta shifted by 8 bytes.support binary compatibility and keep code clean we creating a new successor of PageMetaIO - PageMetaIOV2 with the same type T_META.

We converting all existing T_META pages into a new version.

We storing additional 8 bytes at the end of each T_META and T_PART_META memory pages.

WAL delta records have also been modified to store re-encryption status.

• Background re-encryption may affect performance. Performance impact can be managed using the following configuration options:
  1. reencryptionThreadCnt - number of threads used for re-encryption.
     
  2. reencryptionBatchSize - number of pages that are scanned during re-encryption under checkpoint lock.
     
  3. reencryptionRateLimit - page scanning speed limit in megabytes per second.
     
  4. reencryptionThreadCnt - number of threads used for re-encryption(?).
• The WAL history can be not enough to store all entries between checkpoints (this should be carefully tuned by properly setting the size of the WAL history and tuning the re-encryption performance).
• The WAL history (for delta rebalancing) may be lost for all cache groups due to background re-encryption.

• ReencryptionPagesLeft - (long) Total pages left for reencryption.
• ReencryptionFinished - (boolean) Indicates whether re-encryption is finished or not (it will set to true only when a checkpoint is finished).
