# Rocksdb Change Log
## Unreleased
### New Features
* Introduced `CacheAllocator`, which lets the user specify custom allocator for memory in block cache.
* Introduced `PerfContextByLevel` as part of `PerfContext` which allows storing perf context at each level. Also replaced `__thread` with `thread_local` keyword for perf_context.
* With level_compaction_dynamic_level_bytes = true, level multiplier may be adjusted automatically when Level 0 to 1 compaction is lagged behind.
### Bug Fixes
* Fix corner case where a write group leader blocked due to write stall blocks other writers in queue with WriteOptions::no_slowdown set.
* Fix in-memory range tombstone truncation to avoid erroneously covering newer keys at a lower level, and include range tombstones in compacted files whose largest key is the range tombstone's start key.
* Properly set the stop key for a truncated manual CompactRange
* Fix slow flush/compaction when DB contains many snapshots. The problem became noticeable to us in DBs with 100,000+ snapshots, though it will affect others at different thresholds.
* Fix the bug that WriteBatchWithIndex's SeekForPrev() doesn't see the entries with the same key.
* Fix the bug where user comparator was sometimes fed with InternalKey instead of the user key. The bug manifests when during GenerateBottommostFiles.
## 5.17.0 (10/05/2018)
### Public API Change
* `OnTableFileCreated` will now be called for empty files generated during compaction. In that case, `TableFileCreationInfo::file_path` will be "(nil)" and `TableFileCreationInfo::file_size` will be zero.
* Add `FlushOptions::allow_write_stall`, which controls whether Flush calls start working immediately, even if it causes user writes to stall, or will wait until flush can be performed without causing write stall (similar to `CompactRangeOptions::allow_write_stall`). Note that the default value is false, meaning we add delay to Flush calls until stalling can be avoided when possible. This is behavior change compared to previous RocksDB versions, where Flush calls didn't check if they might cause stall or not.
* Application using PessimisticTransactionDB is expected to rollback/commit recovered transactions before starting new ones. This assumption is used to skip concurrency control during recovery.
* Expose column family id to `OnCompactionCompleted`.
### New Features
* TransactionOptions::skip_concurrency_control allows pessimistic transactions to skip the overhead of concurrency control. Could be used for optimizing certain transactions or during recovery.
### Bug Fixes
* Avoid creating empty SSTs and subsequently deleting them in certain cases during compaction.
* Sync CURRENT file contents during checkpoint.
## 5.16.3 (10/1/2018)
### Bug Fixes
* Fix crash caused when `CompactFiles` run with `CompactionOptions::compression == CompressionType::kDisableCompressionOption`. Now that setting causes the compression type to be chosen according to the column family-wide compression options.
## 5.16.2 (9/21/2018)
### Bug Fixes
* Fix bug in partition filters with format_version=4.
## 5.16.1 (9/17/2018)
### Bug Fixes
* Remove trace_analyzer_tool from rocksdb_lib target in TARGETS file.
* Fix RocksDB Java build and tests.
* Remove sync point in Block destructor.
## 5.16.0 (8/21/2018)
### Public API Change
* The merge operands are passed to `MergeOperator::ShouldMerge` in the reversed order relative to how they were merged (passed to FullMerge or FullMergeV2) for performance reasons
* GetAllKeyVersions() to take an extra argument of `max_num_ikeys`.
* Using ZSTD dictionary trainer (i.e., setting `CompressionOptions::zstd_max_train_bytes` to a nonzero value) now requires ZSTD version 1.1.3 or later.
### New Features
* Changes the format of index blocks by delta encoding the index values, which are the block handles. This saves the encoding of BlockHandle::offset of the non-head index entries in each restart interval. The feature is backward compatible but not forward compatible. It is disabled by default unless format_version 4 or above is used.
RocksDB Trace Analyzer (#4091) Summary: A framework of trace analyzing for RocksDB After collecting the trace by using the tool of [PR #3837](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/3837). User can use the Trace Analyzer to interpret, analyze, and characterize the collected workload. **Input:** 1. trace file 2. Whole keys space file **Statistics:** 1. Access count of each operation (Get, Put, Delete, SingleDelete, DeleteRange, Merge) in each column family. 2. Key hotness (access count) of each one 3. Key space separation based on given prefix 4. Key size distribution 5. Value size distribution if appliable 6. Top K accessed keys 7. QPS statistics including the average QPS and peak QPS 8. Top K accessed prefix 9. The query correlation analyzing, output the number of X after Y and the corresponding average time intervals **Output:** 1. key access heat map (either in the accessed key space or whole key space) 2. trace sequence file (interpret the raw trace file to line base text file for future use) 3. Time serial (The key space ID and its access time) 4. Key access count distritbution 5. Key size distribution 6. Value size distribution (in each intervals) 7. whole key space separation by the prefix 8. Accessed key space separation by the prefix 9. QPS of each operation and each column family 10. Top K QPS and their accessed prefix range **Test:** 1. Added the unit test of analyzing Get, Put, Delete, SingleDelete, DeleteRange, Merge 2. Generated the trace and analyze the trace **Implemented but not tested (due to the limitation of trace_replay):** 1. Analyzing Iterator, supporting Seek() and SeekForPrev() analyzing 2. Analyzing the number of Key found by Get **Future Work:** 1. Support execution time analyzing of each requests 2. Support cache hit situation and block read situation of Get Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/4091 Differential Revision: D9256157 Pulled By: zhichao-cao fbshipit-source-id: f0ceacb7eedbc43a3eee6e85b76087d7832a8fe6
2018-08-13 20:32:04 +02:00
* Add a new tool: trace_analyzer. Trace_analyzer analyzes the trace file generated by using trace_replay API. It can convert the binary format trace file to a human readable txt file, output the statistics of the analyzed query types such as access statistics and size statistics, combining the dumped whole key space file to analyze, support query correlation analyzing, and etc. Current supported query types are: Get, Put, Delete, SingleDelete, DeleteRange, Merge, Iterator (Seek, SeekForPrev only).
* Add hash index support to data blocks, which helps reducing the cpu utilization of point-lookup operations. This feature is backward compatible with the data block created without the hash index. It is disabled by default unless BlockBasedTableOptions::data_block_index_type is set to data_block_index_type = kDataBlockBinaryAndHash.
### Bug Fixes
* Fix a bug in misreporting the estimated partition index size in properties block.
## 5.15.0 (7/17/2018)
### Public API Change
* Remove managed iterator. ReadOptions.managed is not effective anymore.
* For bottommost_compression, a compatible CompressionOptions is added via `bottommost_compression_opts`. To keep backward compatible, a new boolean `enabled` is added to CompressionOptions. For compression_opts, it will be always used no matter what value of `enabled` is. For bottommost_compression_opts, it will only be used when user set `enabled=true`, otherwise, compression_opts will be used for bottommost_compression as default.
* With LRUCache, when high_pri_pool_ratio > 0, midpoint insertion strategy will be enabled to put low-pri items to the tail of low-pri list (the midpoint) when they first inserted into the cache. This is to make cache entries never get hit age out faster, improving cache efficiency when large background scan presents.
* For users of `Statistics` objects created via `CreateDBStatistics()`, the format of the string returned by its `ToString()` method has changed.
* The "rocksdb.num.entries" table property no longer counts range deletion tombstones as entries.
### New Features
* Changes the format of index blocks by storing the key in their raw form rather than converting them to InternalKey. This saves 8 bytes per index key. The feature is backward compatible but not forward compatible. It is disabled by default unless format_version 3 or above is used.
* Avoid memcpy when reading mmap files with OpenReadOnly and max_open_files==-1.
* Support dynamically changing `ColumnFamilyOptions::ttl` via `SetOptions()`.
* Add a new table property, "rocksdb.num.range-deletions", which counts the number of range deletion tombstones in the table.
Improve direct IO range scan performance with readahead (#3884) Summary: This PR extends the improvements in #3282 to also work when using Direct IO. We see **4.5X performance improvement** in seekrandom benchmark doing long range scans, when using direct reads, on flash. **Description:** This change improves the performance of iterators doing long range scans (e.g. big/full index or table scans in MyRocks) by using readahead and prefetching additional data on each disk IO, and storing in a local buffer. This prefetching is automatically enabled on noticing more than 2 IOs for the same table file during iteration. The readahead size starts with 8KB and is exponentially increased on each additional sequential IO, up to a max of 256 KB. This helps in cutting down the number of IOs needed to complete the range scan. **Implementation Details:** - Used `FilePrefetchBuffer` as the underlying buffer to store the readahead data. `FilePrefetchBuffer` can now take file_reader, readahead_size and max_readahead_size as input to the constructor, and automatically do readahead. - `FilePrefetchBuffer::TryReadFromCache` can now call `FilePrefetchBuffer::Prefetch` if readahead is enabled. - `AlignedBuffer` (which is the underlying store for `FilePrefetchBuffer`) now takes a few additional args in `AlignedBuffer::AllocateNewBuffer` to allow copying data from the old buffer. - Made sure not to re-read partial chunks of data that were already available in the buffer, from device again. - Fixed a couple of cases where `AlignedBuffer::cursize_` was not being properly kept up-to-date. **Constraints:** - Similar to #3282, this gets currently enabled only when ReadOptions.readahead_size = 0 (which is the default value). - Since the prefetched data is stored in a temporary buffer allocated on heap, this could increase the memory usage if you have many iterators doing long range scans simultaneously. - Enabled only for user reads, and disabled for compactions. Compaction reads are controlled by the options `use_direct_io_for_flush_and_compaction` and `compaction_readahead_size`, and the current feature takes precautions not to mess with them. **Benchmarks:** I used the same benchmark as used in #3282. Data fill: ``` TEST_TMPDIR=/data/users/$USER/benchmarks/iter ./db_bench -benchmarks=fillrandom -num=1000000000 -compression_type="none" -level_compaction_dynamic_level_bytes ``` Do a long range scan: Seekrandom with large number of nexts ``` TEST_TMPDIR=/data/users/$USER/benchmarks/iter ./db_bench -benchmarks=seekrandom -use_direct_reads -duration=60 -num=1000000000 -use_existing_db -seek_nexts=10000 -statistics -histogram ``` ``` Before: seekrandom : 37939.906 micros/op 26 ops/sec; 29.2 MB/s (1636 of 1999 found) With this change: seekrandom : 8527.720 micros/op 117 ops/sec; 129.7 MB/s (6530 of 7999 found) ``` ~4.5X perf improvement. Taken on an average of 3 runs. Closes https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/3884 Differential Revision: D8082143 Pulled By: sagar0 fbshipit-source-id: 4d7a8561cbac03478663713df4d31ad2620253bb

* Improve the performance of iterators doing long range scans by using readahead, when using direct IO.
* pin_top_level_index_and_filter (default true) in BlockBasedTableOptions can be used in combination with cache_index_and_filter_blocks to prefetch and pin the top-level index of partitioned index and filter blocks in cache. It has no impact when cache_index_and_filter_blocks is false.
* Write properties meta-block at the end of block-based table to save read-ahead IO.
### Bug Fixes
* Fix deadlock with enable_pipelined_write=true and max_successive_merges > 0
* Check conflict at output level in CompactFiles.
Copy Get() result when file reads use mmap Summary: For iterator reads, a `SuperVersion` is pinned to preserve a snapshot of SST files, and `Block`s are pinned to allow `key()` and `value()` to return pointers directly into a RocksDB memory region. This works for both non-mmap reads, where the block owns the memory region, and mmap reads, where the file owns the memory region. For point reads with `PinnableSlice`, only the `Block` object is pinned. This works for non-mmap reads because the block owns the memory region, so even if the file is deleted after compaction, the memory region survives. However, for mmap reads, file deletion causes the memory region to which the `PinnableSlice` refers to be unmapped. The result is usually a segfault upon accessing the `PinnableSlice`, although sometimes it returned wrong results (I repro'd this a bunch of times with `db_stress`). This PR copies the value into the `PinnableSlice` when it comes from mmap'd memory. We can tell whether the `Block` owns its memory using `Block::cachable()`, which is unset when reads do not use the provided buffer as is the case with mmap file reads. When that is false we ensure the result of `Get()` is copied. This feels like a short-term solution as ideally we'd have the `PinnableSlice` pin the mmap'd memory so we can do zero-copy reads. It seemed hard so I chose this approach to fix correctness in the meantime.

* Fix corruption in non-iterator reads when mmap is used for file reads
* Fix bug with prefix search in partition filters where a shared prefix would be ignored from the later partitions. The bug could report an eixstent key as missing. The bug could be triggered if prefix_extractor is set and partition filters is enabled.
* Change default value of `bytes_max_delete_chunk` to 0 in NewSstFileManager() as it doesn't work well with checkpoints.
* Fix a bug caused by not copying the block trailer with compressed SST file, direct IO, prefetcher and no compressed block cache.
Fix write get stuck when pipelined write is enabled (#4143) Summary: Fix the issue when pipelined write is enabled, writers can get stuck indefinitely and not able to finish the write. It can show with the following example: Assume there are 4 writers W1, W2, W3, W4 (W1 is the first, W4 is the last). T1: all writers pending in WAL writer queue: WAL writer queue: W1, W2, W3, W4 memtable writer queue: empty T2. W1 finish WAL writer and move to memtable writer queue: WAL writer queue: W2, W3, W4, memtable writer queue: W1 T3. W2 and W3 finish WAL write as a batch group. W2 enter ExitAsBatchGroupLeader and move the group to memtable writer queue, but before wake up next leader. WAL writer queue: W4 memtable writer queue: W1, W2, W3 T4. W1, W2, W3 finish memtable write as a batch group. Note that W2 still in the previous ExitAsBatchGroupLeader, although W1 have done memtable write for W2. WAL writer queue: W4 memtable writer queue: empty T5. The thread corresponding to W3 create another writer W3' with the same address as W3. WAL writer queue: W4, W3' memtable writer queue: empty T6. W2 continue with ExitAsBatchGroupLeader. Because the address of W3' is the same as W3, the last writer in its group, it thinks there are no pending writers, so it reset newest_writer_ to null, emptying the queue. W4 and W3' are deleted from the queue and will never be wake up. The issue exists since pipelined write was introduced in 5.5.0.

* Fix write can stuck indefinitely if enable_pipelined_write=true. The issue exists since pipelined write was introduced in 5.5.0.
## 5.14.0 (5/16/2018)
### Public API Change
* Add a BlockBasedTableOption to align uncompressed data blocks on the smaller of block size or page size boundary, to reduce flash reads by avoiding reads spanning 4K pages.
* The background thread naming convention changed (on supporting platforms) to "rocksdb:<thread pool priority><thread number>", e.g., "rocksdb:low0".
* Add a new ticker stat rocksdb.number.multiget.keys.found to count number of keys successfully read in MultiGet calls
* Touch-up to write-related counters in PerfContext. New counters added: write_scheduling_flushes_compactions_time, write_thread_wait_nanos. Counters whose behavior was fixed or modified: write_memtable_time, write_pre_and_post_process_time, write_delay_time.
* Posix Env's NewRandomRWFile() will fail if the file doesn't exist.
* Now, `DBOptions::use_direct_io_for_flush_and_compaction` only applies to background writes, and `DBOptions::use_direct_reads` applies to both user reads and background reads. This conforms with Linux's `open(2)` manpage, which advises against simultaneously reading a file in buffered and direct modes, due to possibly undefined behavior and degraded performance.
Change and clarify the relationship between Valid(), status() and Seek*() for all iterators. Also fix some bugs Summary: Before this PR, Iterator/InternalIterator may simultaneously have non-ok status() and Valid() = true. That state means that the last operation failed, but the iterator is nevertheless positioned on some unspecified record. Likely intended uses of that are: * If some sst files are corrupted, a normal iterator can be used to read the data from files that are not corrupted. * When using read_tier = kBlockCacheTier, read the data that's in block cache, skipping over the data that is not. However, this behavior wasn't documented well (and until recently the wiki on github had misleading incorrect information). In the code there's a lot of confusion about the relationship between status() and Valid(), and about whether Seek()/SeekToLast()/etc reset the status or not. There were a number of bugs caused by this confusion, both inside rocksdb and in the code that uses rocksdb (including ours). This PR changes the convention to: * If status() is not ok, Valid() always returns false. * Any seek operation resets status. (Before the PR, it depended on iterator type and on particular error.) This does sacrifice the two use cases listed above, but siying said it's ok. Overview of the changes: * A commit that adds missing status checks in MergingIterator. This fixes a bug that actually affects us, and we need it fixed. `DBIteratorTest.NonBlockingIterationBugRepro` explains the scenario. * Changes to lots of iterator types to make all of them conform to the new convention. Some bug fixes along the way. By far the biggest changes are in DBIter, which is a big messy piece of code; I tried to make it less big and messy but mostly failed. * A stress-test for DBIter, to gain some confidence that I didn't break it. It does a few million random operations on the iterator, while occasionally modifying the underlying data (like ForwardIterator does) and occasionally returning non-ok status from internal iterator. To find the iterator types that needed changes I searched for "public .*Iterator" in the code. Here's an overview of all 27 iterator types: Iterators that didn't need changes: * status() is always ok(), or Valid() is always false: MemTableIterator, ModelIter, TestIterator, KVIter (2 classes with this name anonymous namespaces), LoggingForwardVectorIterator, VectorIterator, MockTableIterator, EmptyIterator, EmptyInternalIterator. * Thin wrappers that always pass through Valid() and status(): ArenaWrappedDBIter, TtlIterator, InternalIteratorFromIterator. Iterators with changes (see inline comments for details): * DBIter - an overhaul: - It used to silently skip corrupted keys (`FindParseableKey()`), which seems dangerous. This PR makes it just stop immediately after encountering a corrupted key, just like it would for other kinds of corruption. Let me know if there was actually some deeper meaning in this behavior and I should put it back. - It had a few code paths silently discarding subiterator's status. The stress test caught a few. - The backwards iteration code path was expecting the internal iterator's set of keys to be immutable. It's probably always true in practice at the moment, since ForwardIterator doesn't support backwards iteration, but this PR fixes it anyway. See added DBIteratorTest.ReverseToForwardBug for an example. - Some parts of backwards iteration code path even did things like `assert(iter_->Valid())` after a seek, which is never a safe assumption. - It used to not reset status on seek for some types of errors. - Some simplifications and better comments. - Some things got more complicated from the added error handling. I'm open to ideas for how to make it nicer. * MergingIterator - check status after every operation on every subiterator, and in some places assert that valid subiterators have ok status. * ForwardIterator - changed to the new convention, also slightly simplified. * ForwardLevelIterator - fixed some bugs and simplified. * LevelIterator - simplified. * TwoLevelIterator - changed to the new convention. Also fixed a bug that would make SeekForPrev() sometimes silently ignore errors from first_level_iter_. * BlockBasedTableIterator - minor changes. * BlockIter - replaced `SetStatus()` with `Invalidate()` to make sure non-ok BlockIter is always invalid. * PlainTableIterator - some seeks used to not reset status. * CuckooTableIterator - tiny code cleanup. * ManagedIterator - fixed some bugs. * BaseDeltaIterator - changed to the new convention and fixed a bug. * BlobDBIterator - seeks used to not reset status. * KeyConvertingIterator - some small change.

* Iterator::Valid() always returns false if !status().ok(). So, now when doing a Seek() followed by some Next()s, there's no need to check status() after every operation.
* Iterator::Seek()/SeekForPrev()/SeekToFirst()/SeekToLast() always resets status().
* Introduced `CompressionOptions::kDefaultCompressionLevel`, which is a generic way to tell RocksDB to use the compression library's default level. It is now the default value for `CompressionOptions::level`. Previously the level defaulted to -1, which gave poor compression ratios in ZSTD.
### New Features
* Introduce TTL for level compaction so that all files older than ttl go through the compaction process to get rid of old data.
* TransactionDBOptions::write_policy can be configured to enable WritePrepared 2PC transactions. Read more about them in the wiki.
* Add DB properties "rocksdb.block-cache-capacity", "rocksdb.block-cache-usage", "rocksdb.block-cache-pinned-usage" to show block cache usage.
* Add `Env::LowerThreadPoolCPUPriority(Priority)` method, which lowers the CPU priority of background (esp. compaction) threads to minimize interference with foreground tasks.
* Fsync parent directory after deleting a file in delete scheduler.
* In level-based compaction, if bottom-pri thread pool was setup via `Env::SetBackgroundThreads()`, compactions to the bottom level will be delegated to that thread pool.
* `prefix_extractor` has been moved from ImmutableCFOptions to MutableCFOptions, meaning it can be dynamically changed without a DB restart.
### Bug Fixes
* Fsync after writing global seq number to the ingestion file in ExternalSstFileIngestionJob.
* Fix WAL corruption caused by race condition between user write thread and FlushWAL when two_write_queue is not set.
* Fix `BackupableDBOptions::max_valid_backups_to_open` to not delete backup files when refcount cannot be accurately determined.
* Fix memory leak when pin_l0_filter_and_index_blocks_in_cache is used with partitioned filters
* Disable rollback of merge operands in WritePrepared transactions to work around an issue in MyRocks. It can be enabled back by setting TransactionDBOptions::rollback_merge_operands to true.
* Fix wrong results by ReverseBytewiseComparator::FindShortSuccessor()
### Java API Changes
* Add `BlockBasedTableConfig.setBlockCache` to allow sharing a block cache across DB instances.
* Added SstFileManager to the Java API to allow managing SST files across DB instances.
## 5.13.0 (3/20/2018)
### Public API Change
* RocksDBOptionsParser::Parse()'s `ignore_unknown_options` argument will only be effective if the option file shows it is generated using a higher version of RocksDB than the current version.
* Remove CompactionEventListener.
### New Features
* SstFileManager now can cancel compactions if they will result in max space errors. SstFileManager users can also use SetCompactionBufferSize to specify how much space must be leftover during a compaction for auxiliary file functions such as logging and flushing.
* Avoid unnecessarily flushing in `CompactRange()` when the range specified by the user does not overlap unflushed memtables.
* If `ColumnFamilyOptions::max_subcompactions` is set greater than one, we now parallelize large manual level-based compactions.
* Add "rocksdb.live-sst-files-size" DB property to return total bytes of all SST files belong to the latest LSM tree.
* NewSstFileManager to add an argument bytes_max_delete_chunk with default 64MB. With this argument, a file larger than 64MB will be ftruncated multiple times based on this size.
### Bug Fixes
* Fix a leak in prepared_section_completed_ where the zeroed entries would not removed from the map.
* Fix WAL corruption caused by race condition between user write thread and backup/checkpoint thread.
## 5.12.0 (2/14/2018)
### Public API Change
* Iterator::SeekForPrev is now a pure virtual method. This is to prevent user who implement the Iterator interface fail to implement SeekForPrev by mistake.
* Add `include_end` option to make the range end exclusive when `include_end == false` in `DeleteFilesInRange()`.
* Add `CompactRangeOptions::allow_write_stall`, which makes `CompactRange` start working immediately, even if it causes user writes to stall. The default value is false, meaning we add delay to `CompactRange` calls until stalling can be avoided when possible. Note this delay is not present in previous RocksDB versions.
* Creating checkpoint with empty directory now returns `Status::InvalidArgument`; previously, it returned `Status::IOError`.
* Adds a BlockBasedTableOption to turn off index block compression.
* Close() method now returns a status when closing a db.
Improve performance of long range scans with readahead Summary: This change improves the performance of iterators doing long range scans (e.g. big/full table scans in MyRocks) by using readahead and prefetching additional data on each disk IO. This prefetching is automatically enabled on noticing more than 2 IOs for the same table file during iteration. The readahead size starts with 8KB and is exponentially increased on each additional sequential IO, up to a max of 256 KB. This helps in cutting down the number of IOs needed to complete the range scan. Constraints: - The prefetched data is stored by the OS in page cache. So this currently works only for non direct-reads use-cases i.e applications which use page cache.

Added support for differential snapshots Summary: The motivation for this PR is to add to RocksDB support for differential (incremental) snapshots, as snapshot of the DB changes between two points in time (one can think of it as diff between to sequence numbers, or the diff D which can be thought of as an SST file or just set of KVs that can be applied to sequence number S1 to get the database to the state at sequence number S2). This feature would be useful for various distributed storages layers built on top of RocksDB, as it should help reduce resources (time and network bandwidth) needed to recover and rebuilt DB instances as replicas in the context of distributed storages. From the API standpoint that would like client app requesting iterator between (start seqnum) and current DB state, and reading the "diff". This is a very draft PR for initial review in the discussion on the approach, i'm going to rework some parts and keep updating the PR. For now, what's done here according to initial discussions: Preserving deletes: - We want to be able to optionally preserve recent deletes for some defined period of time, so that if a delete came in recently and might need to be included in the next incremental snapshot it would't get dropped by a compaction. This is done by adding new param to Options (preserve deletes flag) and new variable to DB Impl where we keep track of the sequence number after which we don't want to drop tombstones, even if they are otherwise eligible for deletion. - I also added a new API call for clients to be able to advance this cutoff seqnum after which we drop deletes; i assume it's more flexible to let clients control this, since otherwise we'd need to keep some kind of timestamp < -- > seqnum mapping inside the DB, which sounds messy and painful to support. Clients could make use of it by periodically calling GetLatestSequenceNumber(), noting the timestamp, doing some calculation and figuring out by how much we need to advance the cutoff seqnum. - Compaction codepath in compaction_iterator.cc has been modified to avoid dropping tombstones with seqnum > cutoff seqnum. Iterator changes: - couple params added to ReadOptions, to optionally allow client to request internal keys instead of user keys (so that client can get the latest value of a key, be it delete marker or a put), as well as min timestamp and min seqnum. TableCache changes: - I modified table_cache code to be able to quickly exclude SST files from iterators heep if creation_time on the file is less then iter_start_ts as passed in ReadOptions. That would help a lot in some DB settings (like reading very recent data only or using FIFO compactions), but not so much for universal compaction with more or less long iterator time span. What's left: - Still looking at how to best plug that inside DBIter codepath. So far it seems that FindNextUserKeyInternal only parses values as UserKeys, and iter->key() call generally returns user key. Can we add new API to DBIter as internal_key(), and modify this internal method to optionally set saved_key_ to point to the full internal key? I don't need to store actual seqnum there, but I do need to store type.

* `DBOptions::preserve_deletes` is a new option that allows one to specify that DB should not drop tombstones for regular deletes if they have sequence number larger than what was set by the new API call `DB::SetPreserveDeletesSequenceNumber(SequenceNumber seqnum)`. Disabled by default.
* API call `DB::SetPreserveDeletesSequenceNumber(SequenceNumber seqnum)` was added, users who wish to preserve deletes are expected to periodically call this function to advance the cutoff seqnum (all deletes made before this seqnum can be dropped by DB). It's user responsibility to figure out how to advance the seqnum in the way so the tombstones are kept for the desired period of time, yet are eventually processed in time and don't eat up too much space.
* `ReadOptions::iter_start_seqnum` was added;
if set to something > 0 user will see 2 changes in iterators behavior 1) only keys written with sequence larger than this parameter would be returned and 2) the `Slice` returned by iter->key() now points to the memory that keep User-oriented representation of the internal key, rather than user key. New struct `FullKey` was added to represent internal keys, along with a new helper function `ParseFullKey(const Slice& internal_key, FullKey* result);`.
* Deprecate trash_dir param in NewSstFileManager, right now we will rename deleted files to <name>.trash instead of moving them to trash directory
* Allow setting a custom trash/DB size ratio limit in the SstFileManager, after which files that are to be scheduled for deletion are deleted immediately, regardless of any delete ratelimit.
* Return an error on write if write_options.sync = true and write_options.disableWAL = true to warn user of inconsistent options. Previously we will not write to WAL and not respecting the sync options in this case.
### New Features
Port 3 way SSE4.2 crc32c implementation from Folly Summary: **# Summary** RocksDB uses SSE crc32 intrinsics to calculate the crc32 values but it does it in single way fashion (not pipelined on single CPU core). Intel's whitepaper () published an algorithm that uses 3-way pipelining for the crc32 intrinsics, then use pclmulqdq intrinsic to combine the values. Because pclmulqdq has overhead on its own, this algorithm will show perf gains on buffers larger than 216 bytes, which makes RocksDB a perfect user, since most of the buffers RocksDB call crc32c on is over 4KB. Initial db_bench show tremendous CPU gain. This change uses the 3-way SSE algorithm by default. The old SSE algorithm is now behind a compiler tag NO_THREEWAY_CRC32C. If user compiles the code with NO_THREEWAY_CRC32C=1 then the old SSE Crc32c algorithm would be used. If the server does not have SSE4.2 at the run time the slow way (Non SSE) will be used. **# Performance Test Results** We ran the FillRandom and ReadRandom benchmarks in db_bench. ReadRandom is the point of interest here since it calculates the CRC32 for the in-mem buffers. We did 3 runs for each algorithm. Before this change the CRC32 value computation takes about 11.5% of total CPU cost, and with the new 3-way algorithm it reduced to around 4.5%. The overall throughput also improved from 25.53MB/s to 27.63MB/s. 1) ReadRandom in db_bench overall metrics PER RUN Algorithm | run | micros/op | ops/sec |Throughput (MB/s) 3-way | 1 | 4.143 | 241387 | 26.7 3-way | 2 | 3.775 | 264872 | 29.3 3-way | 3 | 4.116 | 242929 | 26.9 FastCrc32c|1 | 4.037 | 247727 | 27.4 FastCrc32c|2 | 4.648 | 215166 | 23.8 FastCrc32c|3 | 4.352 | 229799 | 25.4 AVG Algorithm | Average of micros/op | Average of ops/sec | Average of Throughput (MB/s) 3-way | 4.01 | 249,729 | 27.63 FastCrc32c | 4.35 | 230,897 | 25.53 2) Crc32c computation CPU cost (inclusive samples percentage) PER RUN Implementation | run |  TotalSamples | Crc32c percentage 3-way   | 1    |  4,572,250,000 | 4.37% 3-way   | 2    |  3,779,250,000 | 4.62% 3-way   | 3    |  4,129,500,000 | 4.48% FastCrc32c     | 1    |  4,663,500,000 | 11.24% FastCrc32c     | 2    |  4,047,500,000 | 12.34% FastCrc32c     | 3    |  4,366,750,000 | 11.68% **# Test Plan** make -j64 corruption_test && ./corruption_test By default it uses 3-way SSE algorithm NO_THREEWAY_CRC32C=1 make -j64 corruption_test && ./corruption_test make clean && DEBUG_LEVEL=0 make -j64 db_bench make clean && DEBUG_LEVEL=0 NO_THREEWAY_CRC32C=1 make -j64 db_bench Closes https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/3173 Differential Revision: D6330882 Pulled By: yingsu00 fbshipit-source-id: 8ec3d89719533b63b536a736663ca6f0dd4482e9

* CRC32C is now using the 3-way pipelined SSE algorithm `crc32c_3way` on supported platforms to improve performance. The system will choose to use this algorithm on supported platforms automatically whenever possible. If PCLMULQDQ is not supported it will fall back to the old Fast_CRC32 algorithm.

* `DBOptions::bytes_per_sync`, `DBOptions::compaction_readahead_size`, and `DBOptions::wal_bytes_per_sync` can now be changed dynamically, `DBOptions::wal_bytes_per_sync` will flush all memtables and switch to a new WAL file.
* Support dynamic adjustment of rate limit according to demand for background I/O. It can be enabled by passing `true` to the `auto_tuned` parameter in `NewGenericRateLimiter()`. The value passed as `rate_bytes_per_sec` will still be respected as an upper-bound.
* Support dynamically changing `ColumnFamilyOptions::compaction_options_fifo`.
* Introduce `EventListener::OnStallConditionsChanged()` callback. Users can implement it to be notified when user writes are stalled, stopped, or resumed.
* Add a new db property "rocksdb.estimate-oldest-key-time" to return oldest data timestamp. The property is available only for FIFO compaction with compaction_options_fifo.allow_compaction = false.
single-file bottom-level compaction when snapshot released Summary: When snapshots are held for a long time, files may reach the bottom level containing overwritten/deleted keys. We previously had no mechanism to trigger compaction on such files. This particularly impacted DBs that write to different parts of the keyspace over time, as such files would never be naturally compacted due to second-last level files moving down. This PR introduces a mechanism for bottommost files to be recompacted upon releasing all snapshots that prevent them from dropping their deleted/overwritten keys. - Changed `CompactionPicker` to compact files in `BottommostFilesMarkedForCompaction()`. These are the last choice when picking. Each file will be compacted alone and output to the same level in which it originated. The goal of this type of compaction is to rewrite the data excluding deleted/overwritten keys. - Changed `ReleaseSnapshot()` to recompute the bottom files marked for compaction when the oldest existing snapshot changes, and schedule a compaction if needed. We cache the value that oldest existing snapshot needs to exceed in order for another file to be marked in `bottommost_files_mark_threshold_`, which allows us to avoid recomputing marked files for most snapshot releases. - Changed `VersionStorageInfo` to track the list of bottommost files, which is recomputed every time the version changes by `UpdateBottommostFiles()`. The list of marked bottommost files is first computed in `ComputeBottommostFilesMarkedForCompaction()` when the version changes, but may also be recomputed when `ReleaseSnapshot()` is called. - Extracted core logic of `Compaction::IsBottommostLevel()` into `VersionStorageInfo::RangeMightExistAfterSortedRun()` since logic to check whether a file is bottommost is now necessary outside of compaction.

* Support for differential snapshots (via iterator emitting the sequence of key-values representing the difference between DB state at two different sequence numbers). Supports preserving and emitting puts and regular deletes, doesn't support SingleDeletes, MergeOperator, Blobs and Range Deletes.
### Bug Fixes
* Fix a potential data inconsistency issue during point-in-time recovery. `DB:Open()` will abort if column family inconsistency is found during PIT recovery.
* Fix possible metadata corruption in databases using `DeleteRange()`.
## 5.8.0 (08/30/2017)
### Public API Change
* Users of `Statistics::getHistogramString()` will see fewer histogram buckets and different bucket endpoints.
* `Slice::compare` and BytewiseComparator `Compare` no longer accept `Slice`s containing nullptr.
* `Transaction::Get` and `Transaction::GetForUpdate` variants with `PinnableSlice` added.
### New Features
* Add Iterator::Refresh(), which allows users to update the iterator state so that they can avoid some initialization costs of recreating iterators.
* Replace dynamic_cast<> (except unit test) so people can choose to build with RTTI off. With make, release mode is by default built with -fno-rtti and debug mode is built without it. Users can override it by setting USE_RTTI=0 or 1.
Introduce bottom-pri thread pool for large universal compactions Summary: When we had a single thread pool for compactions, a thread could be busy for a long time (minutes) executing a compaction involving the bottom level. In multi-instance setups, the entire thread pool could be consumed by such bottom-level compactions. Then, top-level compactions (e.g., a few L0 files) would be blocked for a long time ("head-of-line blocking"). Such top-level compactions are critical to prevent compaction stalls as they can quickly reduce number of L0 files / sorted runs. This diff introduces a bottom-priority queue for universal compactions including the bottom level. This alleviates the head-of-line blocking situation for fast, top-level compactions. - Added `Env::Priority::BOTTOM` thread pool. This feature is only enabled if user explicitly configures it to have a positive number of threads. - Changed `ThreadPoolImpl`'s default thread limit from one to zero. This change is invisible to users as we call `IncBackgroundThreadsIfNeeded` on the low-pri/high-pri pools during `DB::Open` with values of at least one. It is necessary, though, for bottom-pri to start with zero threads so the feature is disabled by default. - Separated `ManualCompaction` into two parts in `PrepickedCompaction`. `PrepickedCompaction` is used for any compaction that's picked outside of its execution thread, either manual or automatic. - Forward universal compactions involving last level to the bottom pool (worker thread's entry point is `BGWorkBottomCompaction`). - Track `bg_bottom_compaction_scheduled_` so we can wait for bottom-level compactions to finish. We don't count them against the background jobs limits. So users of this feature will get an extra compaction for free.

This alleviates head-of-line blocking in the compaction queue, which cause write stalling, particularly in multi-instance use cases. Users can enable this feature via `Env::SetBackgroundThreads(N, Env::Priority::BOTTOM)`, where `N > 0`.
* Allow merge operator to be called even with a single merge operand during compactions, by appropriately overriding `MergeOperator::AllowSingleOperand`.
* Add `DB::VerifyChecksum()`, which verifies the checksums in all SST files in a running DB.
* Block-based table support for disabling checksums by setting `BlockBasedTableOptions::checksum = kNoChecksum`.
### Bug Fixes
* Fix wrong latencies in `rocksdb.db.get.micros`, `rocksdb.db.write.micros`, and `rocksdb.sst.read.micros`.
* Fix incorrect dropping of deletions during intra-L0 compaction.
* Fix transient reappearance of keys covered by range deletions when memtable prefix bloom filter is enabled.
* Fix potentially wrong file smallest key when range deletions separated by snapshot are written together.
## 5.7.0 (07/13/2017)
### Public API Change
* DB property "rocksdb.sstables" now prints keys in hex form.
### New Features
* Measure estimated number of reads per file. The information can be accessed through DB::GetColumnFamilyMetaData or "rocksdb.sstables" DB property.
* RateLimiter support for throttling background reads, or throttling the sum of background reads and writes. This can give more predictable I/O usage when compaction reads more data than it writes, e.g., due to lots of deletions.
FIFO Compaction with TTL Summary: Introducing FIFO compactions with TTL. FIFO compaction is based on size only which makes it tricky to enable in production as use cases can have organic growth. A user requested an option to drop files based on the time of their creation instead of the total size. To address that request: - Added a new TTL option to FIFO compaction options. - Updated FIFO compaction score to take TTL into consideration. - Added a new table property, creation_time, to keep track of when the SST file is created. - Creation_time is set as below: - On Flush: Set to the time of flush. - On Compaction: Set to the max creation_time of all the files involved in the compaction. - On Repair and Recovery: Set to the time of repair/recovery. - Old files created prior to this code change will have a creation_time of 0. - FIFO compaction with TTL is enabled when ttl > 0. All files older than ttl will be deleted during compaction. i.e. `if (file.creation_time < (current_time - ttl)) then delete(file)`. This will enable cases where you might want to delete all files older than, say, 1 day. - FIFO compaction will fall back to the prior way of deleting files based on size if: - the creation_time of all files involved in compaction is 0. - the total size (of all SST files combined) does not drop below `compaction_options_fifo.max_table_files_size` even if the files older than ttl are deleted. This feature is not supported if max_open_files != -1 or with table formats other than Block-based. **Test Plan:** Added tests. **Benchmark results:** Base: FIFO with max size: 100MB :: ``` svemuri@dev15905 ~/rocksdb (fifo-compaction) $ TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm ./db_bench --benchmarks=readwhilewriting --num=5000000 --threads=16 --compaction_style=2 --fifo_compaction_max_table_files_size_mb=100 readwhilewriting : 1.924 micros/op 519858 ops/sec; 13.6 MB/s (1176277 of 5000000 found) ``` With TTL (a low one for testing) :: ``` svemuri@dev15905 ~/rocksdb (fifo-compaction) $ TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm ./db_bench --benchmarks=readwhilewriting --num=5000000 --threads=16 --compaction_style=2 --fifo_compaction_max_table_files_size_mb=100 --fifo_compaction_ttl=20 readwhilewriting : 1.902 micros/op 525817 ops/sec; 13.7 MB/s (1185057 of 5000000 found) ``` Example Log lines: ``` 2017/06/26-15:17:24.609249 7fd5a45ff700 (Original Log Time 2017/06/26-15:17:24.609177) [db/compaction_picker.cc:1471] [default] FIFO compaction: picking file 40 with creation time 1498515423 for deletion 2017/06/26-15:17:24.609255 7fd5a45ff700 (Original Log Time 2017/06/26-15:17:24.609234) [db/db_impl_compaction_flush.cc:1541] [default] Deleted 1 files ... 2017/06/26-15:17:25.553185 7fd5a61a5800 [DEBUG] [db/db_impl_files.cc:309] [JOB 0] Delete /dev/shm/dbbench/000040.sst type=2 #40 -- OK 2017/06/26-15:17:25.553205 7fd5a61a5800 EVENT_LOG_v1 {"time_micros": 1498515445553199, "job": 0, "event": "table_file_deletion", "file_number": 40} ``` SST Files remaining in the dbbench dir, after db_bench execution completed: ``` svemuri@dev15905 ~/rocksdb (fifo-compaction) $ ls -l /dev/shm//dbbench/*.sst -rw-r--r--. 1 svemuri users 30749887 Jun 26 15:17 /dev/shm//dbbench/000042.sst -rw-r--r--. 1 svemuri users 30768779 Jun 26 15:17 /dev/shm//dbbench/000044.sst -rw-r--r--. 1 svemuri users 30757481 Jun 26 15:17 /dev/shm//dbbench/000046.sst ``` Closes https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/2480 Differential Revision: D5305116 Pulled By: sagar0 fbshipit-source-id: 3e5cfcf5dd07ed2211b5b37492eb235b45139174

* Change ticker/histogram statistics implementations to use core-local storage. This improves aggregation speed compared to our previous thread-local approach, particularly for applications with many threads.
* Users can pass a cache object to write buffer manager, so that they can cap memory usage for memtable and block cache using one single limit.
* Flush will be triggered when 7/8 of the limit introduced by write_buffer_manager or db_write_buffer_size is triggered, so that the hard threshold is hard to hit.
* Introduce WriteOptions.low_pri. If it is true, low priority writes will be throttled if the compaction is behind.
* `DB::IngestExternalFile()` now supports ingesting files into a database containing range deletions.
### Bug Fixes
* Shouldn't ignore return value of fsync() in flush.
## 5.5.0 (05/17/2017)

* Added ReadOptions::max_skippable_internal_keys to set a threshold to fail a request as incomplete when too many keys are being skipped when using iterators.
* DB::Get in place of std::string accepts PinnableSlice, which avoids the extra memcpy of value to std::string in most of cases.
* PinnableSlice releases the pinned resources that contain the value when it is destructed or when ::Reset() is called on it.
* The old API that accepts std::string, although discouraged, is still supported.
* Replace Options::use_direct_writes with Options::use_direct_io_for_flush_and_compaction. Read Direct IO wiki for details.
* Added CompactionEventListener and EventListener::OnFlushBegin interfaces.
### New Features
* Memtable flush can be avoided during checkpoint creation if total log file size is smaller than a threshold specified by the user.
* Introduce level-based L0->L0 compactions to reduce file count, so write delays are incurred less often.
* (Experimental) Partitioning filters which creates an index on the partitions. The feature can be enabled by setting partition_filters when using kFullFilter. Currently the feature also requires two-level indexing to be enabled. Number of partitions is the same as the number of partitions for indexes, which is controlled by metadata_block_size.
## 5.3.0 (03/08/2017)
### Public API Change
* Remove disableDataSync option.
* Remove timeout_hint_us option from WriteOptions. The option has been deprecated and has no effect since 3.13.0.

* Add LuaCompactionFilter in utilities. This allows developers to write compaction filters in Lua. To use this feature, LUA_PATH needs to be set to the root directory of Lua.
* No longer populate "LATEST_BACKUP" file in backup directory, which formerly contained the number of the latest backup. The latest backup can be determined by finding the highest numbered file in the "meta/" subdirectory.
## 4.13.0 (10/18/2016)
### Public API Change
* DB::GetOptions() reflect dynamic changed options (i.e. through DB::SetOptions()) and return copy of options instead of reference.
* Added Statistics::getAndResetTickerCount().
### New Features
* Add DB::SetDBOptions() to dynamic change base_background_compactions and max_background_compactions.

* Merge options source_compaction_factor, max_grandparent_overlap_bytes and expanded_compaction_factor into max_compaction_bytes.
* Remove ImmutableCFOptions.
* Add a compression type ZSTD, which can work with ZSTD 0.8.0 or up. Still keep ZSTDNotFinal for compatibility reasons.
### New Features
* Introduce NewClockCache, which is based on CLOCK algorithm with better concurrent performance in some cases. It can be used to replace the default LRU-based block cache and table cache. To use it, RocksDB need to be linked with TBB lib.
* Change ticker/histogram statistics implementations to accumulate data in thread-local storage, which improves CPU performance by reducing cache coherency costs. Callers of CreateDBStatistics do not need to change anything to use this feature.
* Block cache mid-point insertion, where index and filter block are inserted into LRU block cache with higher priority. The feature can be enabled by setting BlockBasedTableOptions::cache_index_and_filter_blocks_with_high_priority to true and high_pri_pool_ratio > 0 when creating NewLRUCache.
## 4.11.0 (8/1/2016)
### Public API Change
* options.memtable_prefix_bloom_huge_page_tlb_size => memtable_huge_page_size. When it is set, RocksDB will try to allocate memory from huge page for memtable too, rather than just memtable bloom filter.
### New Features
* A tool to migrate DB after options change. See include/rocksdb/utilities/option_change_migration.h.
* Add ReadOptions.background_purge_on_iterator_cleanup. If true, we avoid file deletion when destorying iterators.
## 4.10.0 (7/5/2016)
### Public API Change
* options.memtable_prefix_bloom_bits changes to options.memtable_prefix_bloom_bits_ratio and deprecate options.memtable_prefix_bloom_probes

* Add a read option background_purge_on_iterator_cleanup to avoid deleting files in foreground when destroying iterators. Instead, a job is scheduled in high priority queue and would be executed in a separate background thread.
* RepairDB support for column families. RepairDB now associates data with non-default column families using information embedded in the SST/WAL files (4.7 or later). For data written by 4.6 or earlier, RepairDB associates it with the default column family.
* Add options.write_buffer_manager which allows users to control total memtable sizes across multiple DB instances.
## 4.9.0 (6/9/2016)
### Public API changes

## 4.8.0 (5/2/2016)
### Public API Change
* Allow preset compression dictionary for improved compression of block-based tables. This is supported for zlib, zstd, and lz4. The compression dictionary's size is configurable via CompressionOptions::max_dict_bytes.
* Delete deprecated classes for creating backups (BackupableDB) and restoring from backups (RestoreBackupableDB). Now, BackupEngine should be used for creating backups, and BackupEngineReadOnly should be used for restorations. For more details, see https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/How-to-backup-RocksDB%3F
2016-04-21 03:53:37 +02:00
* Expose estimate of per-level compression ratio via DB property: "rocksdb.compression-ratio-at-levelN".
* Added EventListener::OnTableFileCreationStarted. EventListener::OnTableFileCreated will be called on failure case. User can check creation status via TableFileCreationInfo::status.
### New Features
* Add ReadOptions::readahead_size. If non-zero, NewIterator will create a new table reader which performs reads of the given size.
## 4.7.0 (4/8/2016)
### Public API Change
* rename options compaction_measure_io_stats to report_bg_io_stats and include flush too.
* Change some default options. Now default options will optimize for server-workloads. Also enable slowdown and full stop triggers for pending compaction bytes. These changes may cause sub-optimal performance or significant increase of resource usage. To avoid these risks, users can open existing RocksDB with options extracted from RocksDB option files. See https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/RocksDB-Options-File for how to use RocksDB option files. Or you can call Options.OldDefaults() to recover old defaults. DEFAULT_OPTIONS_HISTORY.md will track change history of default options.
## 4.6.0 (3/10/2016)
### Public API Changes
* Change default of BlockBasedTableOptions.format_version to 2. It means default DB created by 4.6 or up cannot be opened by RocksDB version 3.9 or earlier.
2016-07-05 07:58:35 +02:00
* Added strict_capacity_limit option to NewLRUCache. If the flag is set to true, insert to cache will fail if no enough capacity can be free. Signature of Cache::Insert() is updated accordingly.
* Tickers [NUMBER_DB_NEXT, NUMBER_DB_PREV, NUMBER_DB_NEXT_FOUND, NUMBER_DB_PREV_FOUND, ITER_BYTES_READ] are not updated immediately. The are updated when the Iterator is deleted.
* Add monotonically increasing counter (DB property "rocksdb.current-super-version-number") that increments upon any change to the LSM tree.
### New Features
* Add CompactionPri::kMinOverlappingRatio, a compaction picking mode friendly to write amplification.
* Deprecate Iterator::IsKeyPinned() and replace it with Iterator::GetProperty() with prop_name="rocksdb.iterator.is.key.pinned"
## 4.5.0 (2/5/2016)
### Public API Changes
* Add a new perf context level between kEnableCount and kEnableTime. Level 2 now does not include timers for mutexes.
* Statistics of mutex operation durations will not be measured by default. If you want to have them enabled, you need to set Statistics::stats_level_ to kAll.
* DBOptions::delete_scheduler and NewDeleteScheduler() are removed, please use DBOptions::sst_file_manager and NewSstFileManager() instead
### New Features
* ldb tool now supports operations to non-default column families.
* Add kPersistedTier to ReadTier. This option allows Get and MultiGet to read only the persited data and skip mem-tables if writes were done with disableWAL = true.
* Add DBOptions::sst_file_manager. Use NewSstFileManager() in include/rocksdb/sst_file_manager.h to create a SstFileManager that can be used to track the total size of SST files and control the SST files deletion rate.
## 4.4.0 (1/14/2016)
### Public API Changes
* Change names in CompactionPri and add a new one.
* Deprecate options.soft_rate_limit and add options.soft_pending_compaction_bytes_limit.
* If options.max_write_buffer_number > 3, writes will be slowed down when writing to the last write buffer to delay a full stop.
* Introduce CompactionJobInfo::compaction_reason, this field include the reason to trigger the compaction.
* After slow down is triggered, if estimated pending compaction bytes keep increasing, slowdown more.
* Increase default options.delayed_write_rate to 2MB/s.
* Added a new parameter --path to ldb tool. --path accepts the name of either MANIFEST, SST or a WAL file. Either --db or --path can be used when calling ldb.

### New Features
* CompactionFilter has new member function called IgnoreSnapshots which allows CompactionFilter to be called even if there are snapshots later than the key.
* RocksDB will now persist options under the same directory as the RocksDB database on successful DB::Open, CreateColumnFamily, DropColumnFamily, and SetOptions.
* Introduce LoadLatestOptions() in rocksdb/utilities/options_util.h. This function can construct the latest DBOptions / ColumnFamilyOptions used by the specified RocksDB intance.
* Introduce CheckOptionsCompatibility() in rocksdb/utilities/options_util.h. This function checks whether the input set of options is able to open the specified DB successfully.
### Public API Changes
* When options.db_write_buffer_size triggers, only the column family with the largest column family size will be flushed, not all the column families.
## 4.2.0 (11/9/2015)
### New Features
* Introduce CreateLoggerFromOptions(), this function create a Logger for provided DBOptions.
* Add GetAggregatedIntProperty(), which returns the sum of the GetIntProperty of all the column families.
* Add MemoryUtil in rocksdb/utilities/memory.h. It currently offers a way to get the memory usage by type from a list rocksdb instances.
### Public API Changes
* CompactionFilter::Context includes information of Column Family ID
* The need-compaction hint given by TablePropertiesCollector::NeedCompact() will be persistent and recoverable after DB recovery. This introduces a breaking format change. If you use this experimental feature, including NewCompactOnDeletionCollectorFactory() in the new version, you may not be able to directly downgrade the DB back to version 4.0 or lower.
* TablePropertiesCollectorFactory::CreateTablePropertiesCollector() now takes an option Context, containing the information of column family ID for the file being written.
* Remove DefaultCompactionFilterFactory.
## 4.1.0 (10/8/2015)
Support for SingleDelete() Summary: This patch fixes #7460559. It introduces SingleDelete as a new database operation. This operation can be used to delete keys that were never overwritten (no put following another put of the same key). If an overwritten key is single deleted the behavior is undefined. Single deletion of a non-existent key has no effect but multiple consecutive single deletions are not allowed (see limitations). In contrast to the conventional Delete() operation, the deletion entry is removed along with the value when the two are lined up in a compaction. Note: The semantics are similar to @igor's prototype that allowed to have this behavior on the granularity of a column family ( https://reviews.facebook.net/D42093 ). This new patch, however, is more aggressive when it comes to removing tombstones: It removes the SingleDelete together with the value whenever there is no snapshot between them while the older patch only did this when the sequence number of the deletion was older than the earliest snapshot. Most of the complex additions are in the Compaction Iterator, all other changes should be relatively straightforward. The patch also includes basic support for single deletions in db_stress and db_bench. Limitations: - Not compatible with cuckoo hash tables - Single deletions cannot be used in combination with merges and normal deletions on the same key (other keys are not affected by this) - Consecutive single deletions are currently not allowed (and older version of this patch supported this so it could be resurrected if needed) Test Plan: make all check Reviewers: yhchiang, sdong, rven, anthony, yoshinorim, igor Reviewed By: igor Subscribers: maykov, dhruba, leveldb Differential Revision: https://reviews.facebook.net/D43179

### New Features
* Added single delete operation as a more efficient way to delete keys that have not been overwritten.
* Added experimental AddFile() to DB interface that allow users to add files created by SstFileWriter into an empty Database, see include/rocksdb/sst_file_writer.h and DB::AddFile() for more info.
* Added support for opening SST files with .ldb suffix which enables opening LevelDB databases.

### Public API Changes
* Added SingleDelete() to the DB interface.
* Added AddFile() to DB interface.
* Added SstFileWriter class.
* CompactionFilter has a new method FilterMergeOperand() that RocksDB applies to every merge operand during compaction to decide whether to filter the operand.

## 4.0.0 (9/9/2015)
### New Features
* Added support for transactions. See include/rocksdb/utilities/transaction.h for more info.
* DB::GetProperty() now accepts "rocksdb.aggregated-table-properties" and "rocksdb.aggregated-table-properties-at-levelN", in which case it returns aggregated table properties of the target column family, or the aggregated table properties of the specified level N if the "at-level" version is used.
* Add compression option kZSTDNotFinalCompression for people to experiment ZSTD although its format is not finalized.
* We removed the need for LATEST_BACKUP file in BackupEngine. We still keep writing it when we create new backups (because of backward compatibility), but we don't read it anymore.
### Public API Changes
* Removed class Env::RandomRWFile and Env::NewRandomRWFile().
* Renamed DBOptions.num_subcompactions to DBOptions.max_subcompactions to make the name better match the actual functionality of the option.
* Added Equal() method to the Comparator interface that can optionally be overwritten in cases where equality comparisons can be done more efficiently than three-way comparisons.
* Previous 'experimental' OptimisticTransaction class has been replaced by Transaction class.
## 3.13.0 (8/6/2015)
### New Features
* RollbackToSavePoint() in WriteBatch/WriteBatchWithIndex
* Add NewCompactOnDeletionCollectorFactory() in utilities/table_properties_collectors, which allows rocksdb to mark a SST file as need-compaction when it observes at least D deletion entries in any N consecutive entries in that SST file. Note that this feature depends on an experimental NeedCompact() API --- the result of this API will not persist after DB restart.
* Add DBOptions::delete_scheduler. Use NewDeleteScheduler() in include/rocksdb/delete_scheduler.h to create a DeleteScheduler that can be shared among multiple RocksDB instances to control the file deletion rate of SST files that exist in the first db_path.
### Public API Changes
* Deprecated WriteOptions::timeout_hint_us. We no longer support write timeout. If you really need this option, talk to us and we might consider returning it.
* Deprecated purge_redundant_kvs_while_flush option.
* Removed BackupEngine::NewBackupEngine() and NewReadOnlyBackupEngine() that were deprecated in RocksDB 3.8. Please use BackupEngine::Open() instead.
* Deprecated Compaction Filter V2. We are not aware of any existing use-cases. If you use this filter, your compile will break with RocksDB 3.13. Please let us know if you use it and we'll put it back in RocksDB 3.14.
* Env::FileExists now returns a Status instead of a boolean
* Add statistics::getHistogramString() to print detailed distribution of a histogram metric.
* Add DBOptions::skip_stats_update_on_db_open. When it is on, DB::Open() will run faster as it skips the random reads required for loading necessary stats from SST files to optimize compaction.
## 3.12.0 (7/2/2015)
### New Features
* Added experimental support for optimistic transactions. See include/rocksdb/utilities/optimistic_transaction.h for more info.
* Added a new way to report QPS from db_bench (check out --report_file and --report_interval_seconds)
* Added a cache for individual rows. See DBOptions::row_cache for more info.
* Several new features on EventListener (see include/rocksdb/listener.h):
- OnCompationCompleted() now returns per-compaction job statistics, defined in include/rocksdb/compaction_job_stats.h.
- Added OnTableFileCreated() and OnTableFileDeleted().
* Add compaction_options_universal.enable_trivial_move to true, to allow trivial move while performing universal compaction. Trivial move will happen only when all the input files are non overlapping.
### Public API changes
* EventListener::OnFlushCompleted() now passes FlushJobInfo instead of a list of parameters.
* DB::GetDbIdentity() is now a const function. If this function is overridden in your application, be sure to also make GetDbIdentity() const to avoid compile error.
Support saving history in memtable_list Summary: For transactions, we are using the memtables to validate that there are no write conflicts. But after flushing, we don't have any memtables, and transactions could fail to commit. So we want to someone keep around some extra history to use for conflict checking. In addition, we want to provide a way to increase the size of this history if too many transactions fail to commit. After chatting with people, it seems like everyone prefers just using Memtables to store this history (instead of a separate history structure). It seems like the best place for this is abstracted inside the memtable_list. I decide to create a separate list in MemtableListVersion as using the same list complicated the flush/installalflushresults logic too much. This diff adds a new parameter to control how much memtable history to keep around after flushing. However, it sounds like people aren't too fond of adding new parameters. So I am making the default size of flushed+not-flushed memtables be set to max_write_buffers. This should not change the maximum amount of memory used, but make it more likely we're using closer the the limit. (We are now postponing deleting flushed memtables until the max_write_buffer limit is reached). So while we might use more memory on average, we are still obeying the limit set (and you could argue it's better to go ahead and use up memory now instead of waiting for a write stall to happen to test this limit). However, if people are opposed to this default behavior, we can easily set it to 0 and require this parameter be set in order to use transactions. Test Plan: Added a xfunc test to play around with setting different values of this parameter in all tests. Added testing in memtablelist_test and planning on adding more testing here.

* Move listeners from ColumnFamilyOptions to DBOptions.
* Add max_write_buffer_number_to_maintain option
* DB::CompactRange()'s parameter reduce_level is changed to change_level, to allow users to move levels to lower levels if allowed. It can be used to migrate a DB from options.level_compaction_dynamic_level_bytes=false to options.level_compaction_dynamic_level_bytes.true.
* Change default value for options.compaction_filter_factory and options.compaction_filter_factory_v2 to nullptr instead of DefaultCompactionFilterFactory and DefaultCompactionFilterFactoryV2.
* If CancelAllBackgroundWork is called without doing a flush after doing loads with WAL disabled, the changes which haven't been flushed before the call to CancelAllBackgroundWork will be lost.
* WBWIIterator::Entry() now returns WriteEntry instead of `const WriteEntry&`
* options.hard_rate_limit is deprecated.
* When options.soft_rate_limit or options.level0_slowdown_writes_trigger is triggered, the way to slow down writes is changed to: write rate to DB is limited to to options.delayed_write_rate.
* DB::GetApproximateSizes() adds a parameter to allow the estimation to include data in mem table, with default to be not to include. It is now only supported in skip list mem table.
2016-07-05 07:58:35 +02:00
* DB::CompactRange() now accept CompactRangeOptions instead of multiple parameters. CompactRangeOptions is defined in include/rocksdb/options.h.
* CompactRange() will now skip bottommost level compaction for level based compaction if there is no compaction filter, bottommost_level_compaction is introduced in CompactRangeOptions to control when it's possible to skip bottommost level compaction. This mean that if you want the compaction to produce a single file you need to set bottommost_level_compaction to BottommostLevelCompaction::kForce.
* Add Cache.GetPinnedUsage() to get the size of memory occupied by entries that are in use by the system.
* DB:Open() will fail if the compression specified in Options is not linked with the binary. If you see this failure, recompile RocksDB with compression libraries present on your system. Also, previously our default compression was snappy. This behavior is now changed. Now, the default compression is snappy only if it's available on the system. If it isn't we change the default to kNoCompression.
* We changed how we account for memory used in block cache. Previously, we only counted the sum of block sizes currently present in block cache. Now, we count the actual memory usage of the blocks. For example, a block of size 4.5KB will use 8KB memory with jemalloc. This might decrease your memory usage and possibly decrease performance. Increase block cache size if you see this happening after an upgrade.
* Add BackupEngineImpl.options_.max_background_operations to specify the maximum number of operations that may be performed in parallel. Add support for parallelized backup and restore.
* Add DB::SyncWAL() that does a WAL sync without blocking writers.
## 3.11.0 (5/19/2015)
### New Features
* Added a new API Cache::SetCapacity(size_t capacity) to dynamically change the maximum configured capacity of the cache. If the new capacity is less than the existing cache usage, the implementation will try to lower the usage by evicting the necessary number of elements following a strict LRU policy.
* Added an experimental API for handling flashcache devices (blacklists background threads from caching their reads) -- NewFlashcacheAwareEnv
* If universal compaction is used and options.num_levels > 1, compact files are tried to be stored in none-L0 with smaller files based on options.target_file_size_base. The limitation of DB size when using universal compaction is greatly mitigated by using more levels. You can set num_levels = 1 to make universal compaction behave as before. If you set num_levels > 1 and want to roll back to a previous version, you need to compact all files to a big file in level 0 (by setting target_file_size_base to be large and CompactRange(<cf_handle>, nullptr, nullptr, true, 0) and reopen the DB with the same version to rewrite the manifest, and then you can open it using previous releases.
* More information about rocksdb background threads are available in Env::GetThreadList(), including the number of bytes read / written by a compaction job, mem-table size and current number of bytes written by a flush job and many more. Check include/rocksdb/thread_status.h for more detail.
### Public API changes
* TablePropertiesCollector::AddUserKey() is added to replace TablePropertiesCollector::Add(). AddUserKey() exposes key type, sequence number and file size up to now to users.
* DBOptions::bytes_per_sync used to apply to both WAL and table files. As of 3.11 it applies only to table files. If you want to use this option to sync WAL in the background, please use wal_bytes_per_sync
## 3.10.0 (3/24/2015)
### New Features
* GetThreadStatus() is now able to report detailed thread status, including:
- Thread Operation including flush and compaction.
- The stage of the current thread operation.
- The elapsed time in micros since the current thread operation started.
More information can be found in include/rocksdb/thread_status.h. In addition, when running db_bench with --thread_status_per_interval, db_bench will also report thread status periodically.
* Changed the LRU caching algorithm so that referenced blocks (by iterators) are never evicted. This change made parameter removeScanCountLimit obsolete. Because of that NewLRUCache doesn't take three arguments anymore. table_cache_remove_scan_limit option is also removed
* By default we now optimize the compilation for the compilation platform (using -march=native). If you want to build portable binary, use 'PORTABLE=1' before the make command.
* We now allow level-compaction to place files in different paths by
specifying them in db_paths along with the target_size.
Lower numbered levels will be placed earlier in the db_paths and higher
numbered levels will be placed later in the db_paths vector.
Speed up FindObsoleteFiles() Summary: There are two versions of FindObsoleteFiles(): * full scan, which is executed every 6 hours (and it's terribly slow) * no full scan, which is executed every time a background process finishes and iterator is deleted This diff is optimizing the second case (no full scan). Here's what we do before the diff: * Get the list of obsolete files (files with ref==0). Some files in obsolete_files set might actually be live. * Get the list of live files to avoid deleting files that are live. * Delete files that are in obsolete_files and not in live_files. After this diff: * The only files with ref==0 that are still live are files that have been part of move compaction. Don't include moved files in obsolete_files. * Get the list of obsolete files (which exclude moved files). * No need to get the list of live files, since all files in obsolete_files need to be deleted. I'll post the benchmark results, but you can get the feel of it here: https://reviews.facebook.net/D30123 This depends on D30123. P.S. We should do full scan only in failure scenarios, not every 6 hours. I'll do this in a follow-up diff. Test Plan: One new unit test.

* Potentially big performance improvements if you're using RocksDB with lots of column families (100-1000)
2016-07-05 07:58:35 +02:00
* Added BlockBasedTableOptions.format_version option, which allows user to specify which version of block based table he wants. As a general guideline, newer versions have more features, but might not be readable by older versions of RocksDB.
* Added new block based table format (version 2), which you can enable by setting BlockBasedTableOptions.format_version = 2. This format changes how we encode size information in compressed blocks and should help with memory allocations if you're using Zlib or BZip2 compressions.
* MemEnv (env that stores data in memory) is now available in default library build. You can create it by calling NewMemEnv().
* Add SliceTransform.SameResultWhenAppended() to help users determine it is safe to apply prefix bloom/hash.
* Block based table now makes use of prefix bloom filter if it is a full fulter.
* Block based table remembers whether a whole key or prefix based bloom filter is supported in SST files. Do a sanity check when reading the file with users' configuration.
* Fixed a bug in ReadOnlyBackupEngine that deleted corrupted backups in some cases, even though the engine was ReadOnly
* options.level_compaction_dynamic_level_bytes, a feature to allow RocksDB to pick dynamic base of bytes for levels. With this feature turned on, we will automatically adjust max bytes for each level. The goal of this feature is to have lower bound on size amplification. For more details, see comments in options.h.
* Added an abstract base class WriteBatchBase for write batches
* Fixed a bug where we start deleting files of a dropped column families even if there are still live references to it
Modifed the LRU cache eviction code so that it doesn't evict blocks which have exteranl references Summary: Currently, blocks which have more than one reference (ie referenced by something other than cache itself) are evicted from cache. This doesn't make much sense: - blocks are still in RAM, so the RAM usage reported by the cache is incorrect - if the same block is needed by another iterator, it will be loaded and decompressed again This diff changes the reference counting scheme a bit. Previously, if the cache contained the block, this was accounted for in its refcount. After this change, the refcount is only used to track external references. There is a boolean flag which indicates whether or not the block is contained in the cache. This diff also changes how LRU list is used. Previously, both hashtable and the LRU list contained all blocks. After this change, the LRU list contains blocks with the refcount==0, ie those which can be evicted from the cache. Note that this change still allows for cache to grow beyond its capacity. This happens when all blocks are pinned (ie refcount>0). This is consistent with the current behavior. The cache's insert function never fails. I spent lots of time trying to make table_reader and other places work with the insert which might failed. It turned out to be pretty hard. It might really destabilize some customers, so finally, I decided against doing this. table_cache_remove_scan_count_limit option will be unneeded after this change, but I will remove it in the following diff, if this one gets approved Test Plan: Ran tests, made sure they pass Reviewers: sdong, ljin Differential Revision: https://reviews.facebook.net/D25503

* lz4 compression is now included in rocksjava static library when running `make rocksdbjavastatic`.
* Overflowing a size_t when setting rocksdb options now throws an IllegalArgumentException, which removes the necessity for a developer to catch these Exceptions explicitly.
## 3.9.0 (12/8/2014)
2014-12-09 00:19:48 +01:00
### New Features
* Add rocksdb::GetThreadList(), which in the future will return the current status of all
rocksdb-related threads. We will have more code instruments in the following RocksDB
releases.
* Change convert function in rocksdb/utilities/convenience.h to return Status instead of boolean.
Also add support for nested options in convert function
### Public API changes

CuckooTable: add one option to allow identity function for the first hash function Summary: MurmurHash becomes expensive when we do millions Get() a second in one thread.

* If you're using RocksDB on ARM platforms and you're using default bloom filter, there is a disk format change you need to be aware of. There are three steps you need to do when you convert to new release: 1. turn off filter policy, 2. compact the whole database, 3. turn on filter policy
### Behavior changes
* We have refactored our system of stalling writes. Any stall-related statistics' meanings are changed. Instead of per-write stall counts, we now count stalls per-epoch, where epochs are periods between flushes and compactions. You'll find more information in our Tuning Perf Guide once we release RocksDB 3.6.
* When disableDataSync=true, we no longer sync the MANIFEST file.

2014-09-18 20:00:48 +02:00
* Add identity_as_first_hash property to CuckooTable. SST file needs to be rebuilt to be opened by reader properly.
### Public API changes
* Change target_file_size_base type to uint64_t from int.
* Remove allow_thread_local. This feature was proved to be stable, so we are turning it always-on.
## 3.5.0 (9/3/2014)
### New Features
2016-07-05 07:58:35 +02:00
* Add include/utilities/write_batch_with_index.h, providing a utility class to query data out of WriteBatch when building it.
* Move BlockBasedTable related options to BlockBasedTableOptions from Options. Change corresponding JNI interface. Options affected include:
no_block_cache, block_cache, block_cache_compressed, block_size, block_size_deviation, block_restart_interval, filter_policy, whole_key_filtering. filter_policy is changed to shared_ptr from a raw pointer.
* Remove deprecated options: disable_seek_compaction and db_stats_log_interval
* OptimizeForPointLookup() takes one parameter for block cache size. It now builds hash index, bloom filter, and block cache.
### Public API changes
* The Prefix Extractor used with V2 compaction filters is now passed user key to SliceTransform::Transform instead of unparsed RocksDB key.
## 3.4.0 (8/18/2014)
### New Features
* Support Multiple DB paths in universal style compactions
* Add feature of storing plain table index and bloom filter in SST file.
* CompactRange() will never output compacted files to level 0. This used to be the case when all the compaction input files were at level 0.
2015-12-10 17:54:48 +01:00
* Added iterate_upper_bound to define the extent upto which the forward iterator will return entries. This will prevent iterating over delete markers and overwritten entries for edge cases where you want to break out the iterator anyways. This may improve performance in case there are a large number of delete markers or overwritten entries.
### Public API changes
* DBOptions.db_paths now is a vector of a DBPath structure which indicates both of path and target size
* NewPlainTableFactory instead of bunch of parameters now accepts PlainTableOptions, which is defined in include/rocksdb/table.h
* Moved include/utilities/*.h to include/rocksdb/utilities/*.h
* Statistics APIs now take uint32_t as type instead of Tickers. Also make two access functions getTickerCount and histogramData const
* Add DB property rocksdb.estimate-num-keys, estimated number of live keys in DB.
* Add DB::GetIntProperty(), which returns DB properties that are integer as uint64_t.
* The Prefix Extractor used with V2 compaction filters is now passed user key to SliceTransform::Transform instead of unparsed RocksDB key.
## 3.3.0 (7/10/2014)
### New Features
* Added JSON API prototype.
* HashLinklist reduces performance outlier caused by skewed bucket by switching data in the bucket from linked list to skip list. Add parameter threshold_use_skiplist in NewHashLinkListRepFactory().
2016-07-05 07:58:35 +02:00
* RocksDB is now able to reclaim storage space more effectively during the compaction process. This is done by compensating the size of each deletion entry by the 2X average value size, which makes compaction to be triggered by deletion entries more easily.
* Add TimeOut API to write. Now WriteOptions have a variable called timeout_hint_us. With timeout_hint_us set to non-zero, any write associated with this timeout_hint_us may be aborted when it runs longer than the specified timeout_hint_us, and it is guaranteed that any write completes earlier than the specified time-out will not be aborted due to the time-out condition.
* Add a rate_limiter option, which controls total throughput of flush and compaction. The throughput is specified in bytes/sec. Flush always has precedence over compaction when available bandwidth is constrained.
### Public API changes
* Removed NewTotalOrderPlainTableFactory because it is not used and implemented semantically incorrect.
## 3.2.0 (06/20/2014)
### Public API changes
* We removed seek compaction as a concept from RocksDB because:
1) It makes more sense for spinning disk workloads, while RocksDB is primarily designed for flash and memory,
2) It added some complexity to the important code-paths,
3) None of our internal customers were really using it.
Because of that, Options::disable_seek_compaction is now obsolete. It is still a parameter in Options, so it does not break the build, but it does not have any effect. We plan to completely remove it at some point, so we ask users to please remove this option from your code base.
2016-07-05 07:58:35 +02:00
* Add two parameters to NewHashLinkListRepFactory() for logging on too many entries in a hash bucket when flushing.
* Added new option BlockBasedTableOptions::hash_index_allow_collision. When enabled, prefix hash index for block-based table will not store prefix and allow hash collision, reducing memory consumption.
### New Features
2016-07-05 07:58:35 +02:00
* PlainTable now supports a new key encoding: for keys of the same prefix, the prefix is only written once. It can be enabled through encoding_type parameter of NewPlainTableFactory()
* Add AdaptiveTableFactory, which is used to convert from a DB of PlainTable to BlockBasedTabe, or vise versa. It can be created using NewAdaptiveTableFactory()
### Performance Improvements
* Tailing Iterator re-implemeted with ForwardIterator + Cascading Search Hint , see ~20% throughput improvement.

## 3.1.0 (05/21/2014)
TablePropertiesCollectorFactory Summary: This diff addresses task #4296714 and rethinks how users provide us with TablePropertiesCollectors as part of Options. Here's description of task #4296714: I'm debugging #4295529 and noticed that our count of user properties kDeletedKeys is wrong. We're sharing one single InternalKeyPropertiesCollector with all Table Builders. In LOG Files, we're outputting number of kDeletedKeys as connected with a single table, while it's actually the total count of deleted keys since creation of the DB. For example, this table has 3155 entries and 1391828 deleted keys. The problem with current approach that we call methods on a single TablePropertiesCollector for all the tables we create. Even worse, we could do it from multiple threads at the same time and TablePropertiesCollector has no way of knowing which table we're calling it for. Good part: Looks like nobody inside Facebook is using Options::table_properties_collectors. This means we should be able to painfully change the API. In this change, I introduce TablePropertiesCollectorFactory. For every table we create, we call `CreateTablePropertiesCollector`, which creates a TablePropertiesCollector for a single table. We then use it sequentially from a single thread, which means it doesn't have to be thread-safe. Test Plan: Added a test in table_properties_collector_test that fails on master (build two tables, assert that kDeletedKeys count is correct for the second one).

### Public API changes
* Replaced ColumnFamilyOptions::table_properties_collectors with ColumnFamilyOptions::table_properties_collector_factories
### New Features
* Hash index for block-based table will be materialized and reconstructed more efficiently. Previously hash index is constructed by scanning the whole table during every table open.
* FIFO compaction style
## 3.0.0 (05/05/2014)
### Public API changes
* Added _LEVEL to all InfoLogLevel enums
* Deprecated ReadOptions.prefix and ReadOptions.prefix_seek. Seek() defaults to prefix-based seek when Options.prefix_extractor is supplied. More detail is documented in https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/Prefix-Seek-API-Changes
* MemTableRepFactory::CreateMemTableRep() takes info logger as an extra parameter.
### New Features
* Column family support
* Added an option to use different checksum functions in BlockBasedTableOptions
* Added ApplyToAllCacheEntries() function to Cache
## 2.8.0 (04/04/2014)
* Removed arena.h from public header files.
* By default, checksums are verified on every read from database
* Change default value of several options, including: paranoid_checks=true, max_open_files=5000, level0_slowdown_writes_trigger=20, level0_stop_writes_trigger=24, disable_seek_compaction=true, max_background_flushes=1 and allow_mmap_writes=false
* Added is_manual_compaction to CompactionFilter::Context
* Added "virtual void WaitForJoin()" in class Env. Default operation is no-op.
* Removed BackupEngine::DeleteBackupsNewerThan() function
* Added new option -- verify_checksums_in_compaction
* Changed Options.prefix_extractor from raw pointer to shared_ptr (take ownership)
Changed HashSkipListRepFactory and HashLinkListRepFactory constructor to not take SliceTransform object (use Options.prefix_extractor implicitly)
* Added Env::GetThreadPoolQueueLen(), which returns the waiting queue length of thread pools
* Added a command "checkconsistency" in ldb tool, which checks
if file system state matches DB state (file existence and file sizes)
* Separate options related to block based table to a new struct BlockBasedTableOptions.
* WriteBatch has a new function Count() to return total size in the batch, and Data() now returns a reference instead of a copy
* Add more counters to perf context.
* Supports several more DB properties: compaction-pending, background-errors and cur-size-active-mem-table.
### New Features
* If we find one truncated record at the end of the MANIFEST or WAL files,
we will ignore it. We assume that writers of these records were interrupted
and that we can safely ignore it.
* A new SST format "PlainTable" is added, which is optimized for memory-only workloads. It can be created through NewPlainTableFactory() or NewTotalOrderPlainTableFactory().
* A new mem table implementation hash linked list optimizing for the case that there are only few keys for each prefix, which can be created through NewHashLinkListRepFactory().
* Merge operator supports a new function PartialMergeMulti() to allow users to do partial merges against multiple operands.
* Now compaction filter has a V2 interface. It buffers the kv-pairs sharing the same key prefix, process them in batches, and return the batched results back to DB. The new interface uses a new structure CompactionFilterContext for the same purpose as CompactionFilter::Context in V1.
* Geo-spatial support for locations and radial-search.
## 2.7.0 (01/28/2014)
### Public API changes
* Renamed `StackableDB::GetRawDB()` to `StackableDB::GetBaseDB()`.
* Renamed `WriteBatch::Data()` `const std::string& Data() const`.
* Renamed class `TableStats` to `TableProperties`.
* Deleted class `PrefixHashRepFactory`. Please use `NewHashSkipListRepFactory()` instead.
* Supported multi-threaded `EnableFileDeletions()` and `DisableFileDeletions()`.
* Added `DB::GetOptions()`.
* Added `DB::GetDbIdentity()`.
### New Features
* Added [BackupableDB](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/How-to-backup-RocksDB%3F)
* Implemented [TailingIterator](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/Tailing-Iterator), a special type of iterator that
doesn't create a snapshot (can be used to read newly inserted data)
and is optimized for doing sequential reads.
* Added property block for table, which allows (1) a table to store
its metadata and (2) end user to collect and store properties they
are interested in.
* Enabled caching index and filter block in block cache (turned off by default).
* Supported error report when doing manual compaction.
* Supported additional Linux platform flavors and Mac OS.
* Put with `SliceParts` - Variant of `Put()` that gathers output like `writev(2)`
* Bug fixes and code refactor for compatibility with upcoming Column
Family feature.
### Performance Improvements
* Huge benchmark performance improvements by multiple efforts. For example, increase in readonly QPS from about 530k in 2.6 release to 1.1 million in 2.7 [1]
* Speeding up a way RocksDB deleted obsolete files - no longer listing the whole directory under a lock -- decrease in p99
* Use raw pointer instead of shared pointer for statistics: [5b825d](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/commit/5b825d6964e26ec3b4bb6faa708ebb1787f1d7bd) -- huge increase in performance -- shared pointers are slow
* Optimized locking for `Get()` -- [1fdb3f](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/commit/1fdb3f7dc60e96394e3e5b69a46ede5d67fb976c) -- 1.5x QPS increase for some workloads
