Summary:
When dynamically linking two binaries together, different builds of RocksDB from two sources might cause errors. To provide a tool for user to solve the problem, the RocksDB namespace is changed to a flag which can be overridden in build time.
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/6433
Test Plan: Build release, all and jtest. Try to build with ROCKSDB_NAMESPACE with another flag.

Summary:
This change enables custom implementations of FilterPolicy to
wrap a variety of NewBloomFilterPolicy and select among them based on
contextual information such as table level and compaction style.
* Moves FilterBuildingContext to public API and elaborates it with more
useful data. (It would be nice to put more general options-like data,
but at the time this object is constructed, we are using internal APIs
ImmutableCFOptions and MutableCFOptions and don't have easy access to
ColumnFamilyOptions that I can tell.)
* Renames BloomFilterPolicy::GetFilterBitsBuilderInternal to
GetBuilderWithContext, because it's now public.
* Plumbs through the table's "level_at_creation" for filter building
context.
* Simplified some tests by adding GetBuilder() to
MockBlockBasedTableTester.
* Adds test as DBBloomFilterTest.ContextCustomFilterPolicy, including
sample wrapper class LevelAndStyleCustomFilterPolicy.
* Fixes a cross-test bug in DBBloomFilterTest.OptimizeFiltersForHits
where it does not reset perf context.

Summary:
There's no technological impediment to allowing the Bloom
filter bits/key to be non-integer (fractional/decimal) values, and it
provides finer control over the memory vs. accuracy trade-off. This is
especially handy in using the format_version=5 Bloom filter in place
of the old one, because bits_per_key=9.55 provides the same accuracy as
the old bits_per_key=10.
This change not only requires refining the logic for choosing the best
num_probes for a given bits/key setting, it revealed a flaw in that logic.
As bits/key gets higher, the best num_probes for a cache-local Bloom
filter is closer to bpk / 2 than to bpk * 0.69, the best choice for a
standard Bloom filter. For example, at 16 bits per key, the best
num_probes is 9 (FP rate = 0.0843%) not 11 (FP rate = 0.0884%).
This change fixes and refines that logic (for the format_version=5
Bloom filter only, just in case) based on empirical tests to find
accuracy inflection points between each num_probes.
Although bits_per_key is now specified as a double, the new Bloom
filter converts/rounds this to "millibits / key" for predictable/precise
internal computations. Just in case of unforeseen compatibility
issues, we round to the nearest whole number bits / key for the
legacy Bloom filter, so as not to unlock new behaviors for it.

Summary:
Adds an improved, replacement Bloom filter implementation (FastLocalBloom) for full and partitioned filters in the block-based table. This replacement is faster and more accurate, especially for high bits per key or millions of keys in a single filter.
Speed
The improved speed, at least on recent x86_64, comes from
* Using fastrange instead of modulo (%)
* Using our new hash function (XXH3 preview, added in a previous commit), which is much faster for large keys and only *slightly* slower on keys around 12 bytes if hashing the same size many thousands of times in a row.
* Optimizing the Bloom filter queries with AVX2 SIMD operations. (Added AVX2 to the USE_SSE=1 build.) Careful design was required to support (a) SIMD-optimized queries, (b) compatible non-SIMD code that's simple and efficient, (c) flexible choice of number of probes, and (d) essentially maximized accuracy for a cache-local Bloom filter. Probes are made eight at a time, so any number of probes up to 8 is the same speed, then up to 16, etc.
* Prefetching cache lines when building the filter. Although this optimization could be applied to the old structure as well, it seems to balance out the small added cost of accumulating 64 bit hashes for adding to the filter rather than 32 bit hashes.
Here's nominal speed data from filter_bench (200MB in filters, about 10k keys each, 10 bits filter data / key, 6 probes, avg key size 24 bytes, includes hashing time) on Skylake DE (relatively low clock speed):
$ ./filter_bench -quick -impl=2 -net_includes_hashing # New Bloom filter
Build avg ns/key: 47.7135
Mixed inside/outside queries...
Single filter net ns/op: 26.2825
Random filter net ns/op: 150.459
Average FP rate %: 0.954651
$ ./filter_bench -quick -impl=0 -net_includes_hashing # Old Bloom filter
Build avg ns/key: 47.2245
Mixed inside/outside queries...
Single filter net ns/op: 63.2978
Random filter net ns/op: 188.038
Average FP rate %: 1.13823
Similar build time but dramatically faster query times on hot data (63 ns to 26 ns), and somewhat faster on stale data (188 ns to 150 ns). Performance differences on batched and skewed query loads are between these extremes as expected.
The only other interesting thing about speed is "inside" (query key was added to filter) vs. "outside" (query key was not added to filter) query times. The non-SIMD implementations are substantially slower when most queries are "outside" vs. "inside". This goes against what one might expect or would have observed years ago, as "outside" queries only need about two probes on average, due to short-circuiting, while "inside" always have num_probes (say 6). The problem is probably the nastily unpredictable branch. The SIMD implementation has few branches (very predictable) and has pretty consistent running time regardless of query outcome.
Accuracy
The generally improved accuracy (re: Issue https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/5857) comes from a better design for probing indices
within a cache line (re: Issue https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/4120) and improved accuracy for millions of keys in a single filter from using a 64-bit hash function (XXH3p). Design details in code comments.
Accuracy data (generalizes, except old impl gets worse with millions of keys):
Memory bits per key: FP rate percent old impl -> FP rate percent new impl
6: 5.70953 -> 5.69888
8: 2.45766 -> 2.29709
10: 1.13977 -> 0.959254
12: 0.662498 -> 0.411593
16: 0.353023 -> 0.0873754
24: 0.261552 -> 0.0060971
50: 0.225453 -> ~0.00003 (less than 1 in a million queries are FP)
Fixes https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/5857
Fixes https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/4120
Unlike the old implementation, this implementation has a fixed cache line size (64 bytes). At 10 bits per key, the accuracy of this new implementation is very close to the old implementation with 128-byte cache line size. If there's sufficient demand, this implementation could be generalized.
Compatibility
Although old releases would see the new structure as corrupt filter data and read the table as if there's no filter, we've decided only to enable the new Bloom filter with new format_version=5. This provides a smooth path for automatic adoption over time, with an option for early opt-in.
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/6007
Test Plan: filter_bench has been used thoroughly to validate speed, accuracy, and correctness. Unit tests have been carefully updated to exercise new and old implementations, as well as the logic to select an implementation based on context (format_version).

Summary:
This change sets up for alternate implementations underlying
BloomFilterPolicy:
* Refactor BloomFilterPolicy and expose in internal .h file so that it's easy to iterate over / select implementations for testing, regardless of what the best public interface will look like. Most notably updated db_bloom_filter_test to use this.
* Hide FullFilterBitsBuilder from unit tests (alternate derived classes planned); expose the part important for testing (CalculateSpace), as abstract class BuiltinFilterBitsBuilder. (Also cleaned up internally exposed interface to CalculateSpace.)
* Rename BloomTest -> BlockBasedBloomTest for clarity (despite ongoing confusion between block-based table and block-based filter)
* Assert that block-based filter construction interface is only used on BloomFilterPolicy appropriately constructed. (A couple of tests updated to add ", true".)

Summary:
The parts that are used to implement FilterPolicy /
NewBloomFilterPolicy and not used other than for the block-based table
should be consolidated under table/block_based/filter_policy*. I don't
foresee sharing these APIs with e.g. the Plain Table because they don't
expose hashes for reuse in indexing.
This change is step 1 of 2:
(a) mv table/full_filter_bits_builder.h to
table/block_based/filter_policy_internal.h which I expect to expand
soon to internally reveal more implementation details for testing.
(b) consolidate eventual contents of table/block_based/filter_policy.cc
in util/bloom.cc, which has the most elaborate revision history
(see step 2 ...)
Step 2 soon to follow:
mv util/bloom.cc table/block_based/filter_policy.cc
This gets its own PR so that git has the best chance of following the
rename for blame purposes. Note that low-level shared implementation
details of Bloom filters are in util/bloom_impl.h.

Summary:
FullFilterBitsReader, after creating in BloomFilterPolicy, was
responsible for decoding metadata bits. This meant that
FullFilterBitsReader::MayMatch had some metadata checks in order to
implement "always true" or "always false" functionality in the case
of inconsistent or trivial metadata. This made for ugly
mixing-of-concerns code and probably had some runtime cost. It also
didn't really support plugging in alternative filter implementations
with extensions to the existing metadata schema.
BloomFilterPolicy::GetFilterBitsReader is now (exclusively) responsible
for decoding filter metadata bits and constructing appropriate instances
deriving from FilterBitsReader. "Always false" and "always true" derived
classes allow FullFilterBitsReader not to be concerned with handling of
trivial or inconsistent metadata. This also makes for easy expansion
to alternative filter implementations in new, alternative derived
classes. This change makes calls to FilterBitsReader::MayMatch
*necessarily* virtual because there's now more than one built-in
implementation. Compared with the previous implementation's extra
'if' checks in MayMatch, there's no consistent performance difference,
measured by (an older revision of) filter_bench (differences here seem
to be within noise):

Also, the FullFilterBitsReader ctor was responsible for a surprising
amount of CPU in production, due in part to inefficient determination of
the CACHE_LINE_SIZE used to construct the filter being read. The
overwhelming common case (same as my CACHE_LINE_SIZE) is now
substantially optimized, as shown with filter_bench with
-new_reader_every=1 (old option - see below) (repeatable result):

1. Make filter_block.h a base class. Derive block_based_filter_block and full_filter_block. The previous one is the traditional filter block. The full_filter_block is newly added. It would generate a filter block that contain all the keys in SST file.
2. When querying a key, table would first check if full_filter is available. If not, it would go to the exact data block and check using block_based filter.
3. User could choose to use full_filter or tradional(block_based_filter). They would be stored in SST file with different meta index name. "filter.filter_policy" or "full_filter.filter_policy". Then, Table reader is able to know the fllter block type.
4. Some optimizations have been done for full_filter_block, thus it requires a different interface compared to the original one in filter_policy.h.

In particular, we add a new FilterPolicy class. An instance
of this class can be supplied in Options when opening a
database. If supplied, the instance is used to generate
summaries of keys (e.g., a bloom filter) which are placed in
sstables. These summaries are consulted by DB::Get() so we
can avoid reading sstable blocks that are guaranteed to not
contain the key we are looking for.
This change provides one implementation of FilterPolicy
based on bloom filters.
Other changes:
- Updated version number to 1.4.
- Some build tweaks.
- C binding for CompactRange.
- A few more benchmarks: deleteseq, deleterandom, readmissing, seekrandom.
- Minor .gitignore update.
