> Currently, when using RocksIterator we only use the _iterator.isValid()_ to
> check whether we have reached the end of the iterator. But that is not
> enough, if we refer to RocksDB's wiki
> https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/Iterator#error-handling we should
> find that even if _iterator.isValid()=true_, there may also exist some
> internal error. A safer way to use the _RocksIterator_ is to always call the
> _iterator.status()_ to check the internal error of _RocksDB_. There is a case
> from user email seems to lost data because of this
