I'm afraid that the iterator will not always be invalid in the given case.
As I see, if a mem holds any older tuple with the same key (e.g. older
version of that tuple), the restoration routine will find the older tuple
with the non-invalid iterator.
I also think that mem_restore must handle all the possible data
changes by itself without concern of read_iterator.

The read iterator was rewritten several times and still have at least
several bugs. I think we should admit that we cannot support such a
complicated solution. How about some stupid solution: if ANY change
has been happened during yield - restart advancing?
