22161b7547 Upgrade xxhash, add Hash128 (#8634)
Summary:
With expected use for a 128-bit hash, xxhash library is
upgraded to current dev (2c611a76f914828bed675f0f342d6c4199ffee1e)
as of Aug 6 so that we can use production version of XXH3_128bits
as new Hash128 function (added in hash128.h).

To make this work, however, we have to carve out the "preview" version
of XXH3 that is used in new SST Bloom and Ribbon filters, since that
will not get maintenance in xxhash releases. I have consolidated all the
relevant code into xxph3.h and made it "inline only" (no .cc file). The
working name for this hash function is changed from XXH3p to XXPH3
(XX Preview Hash) because the latter is easier to get working with no
symbol name conflicts between the headers.

Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/8634

Test Plan:
no expected change in existing functionality. For Hash128,
added some unit tests based on those for Hash64 to ensure some basic
properties and that the values do not change accidentally.

3dff28cf9b Use SystemClock* instead of std::shared_ptr<SystemClock> in lower level routines (#8033)
Summary:
For performance purposes, the lower level routines were changed to use a SystemClock* instead of a std::shared_ptr<SystemClock>.  The shared ptr has some performance degradation on certain hardware classes.

For most of the system, there is no risk of the pointer being deleted/invalid because the shared_ptr will be stored elsewhere.  For example, the ImmutableDBOptions stores the Env which has a std::shared_ptr<SystemClock> in it.  The SystemClock* within the ImmutableDBOptions is essentially a "short cut" to gain access to this constant resource.

There were a few classes (PeriodicWorkScheduler?) where the "short cut" property did not hold.  In those cases, the shared pointer was preserved.

Using db_bench readrandom perf_level=3 on my EC2 box, this change performed as well or better than 6.17:

6.17: readrandom   :      28.046 micros/op 854902 ops/sec;   61.3 MB/s (355999 of 355999 found)

PR: readrandom   :      27.500 micros/op 871909 ops/sec;   62.5 MB/s (367999 of 367999 found)

(Note that the times for 6.18 are prior to revert of the SystemClock).

a8b3b9a20c Refine Ribbon configuration, improve testing, add Homogeneous (#7879)
Summary:
This change only affects non-schema-critical aspects of the production candidate Ribbon filter. Specifically, it refines choice of internal configuration parameters based on inputs. The changes are minor enough that the schema tests in bloom_test, some of which depend on this, are unaffected. There are also some minor optimizations and refactorings.

This would be a schema change for "smash" Ribbon, to fix some known issues with small filters, but "smash" Ribbon is not accessible in public APIs. Unit test CompactnessAndBacktrackAndFpRate updated to test small and medium-large filters. Run with --thoroughness=100 or so for much better detection power (not appropriate for continuous regression testing).

Homogenous Ribbon:
This change adds internally a Ribbon filter variant we call Homogeneous Ribbon, in collaboration with Stefan Walzer. The expected "result" value for every key is zero, instead of computed from a hash. Entropy for queries not to be false positives comes from free variables ("overhead") in the solution structure, which are populated pseudorandomly. Construction is slightly faster for not tracking result values, and never fails. Instead, FP rate can jump up whenever and whereever entries are packed too tightly. For small structures, we can choose overhead to make this FP rate jump unlikely, as seen in updated unit test CompactnessAndBacktrackAndFpRate.

Unlike standard Ribbon, Homogeneous Ribbon seems to scale to arbitrary number of keys when accepting an FP rate penalty for small pockets of high FP rate in the structure. For example, 64-bit ribbon with 8 solution columns and 10% allocated space overhead for slots seems to achieve about 10.5% space overhead vs. information-theoretic minimum based on its observed FP rate with expected pockets of degradation. (FP rate is close to 1/256.) If targeting a higher FP rate with fewer solution columns, Homogeneous Ribbon can be even more space efficient, because the penalty from degradation is relatively smaller. If targeting a lower FP rate, Homogeneous Ribbon is less space efficient, as more allocated overhead is needed to keep the FP rate impact of degradation relatively under control. The new OptimizeHomogAtScale tool in ribbon_test helps to find these optimal allocation overheads for different numbers of solution columns. And Ribbon widths, with 128-bit Ribbon apparently cutting space overheads in half vs. 64-bit.

Other misc item specifics:
* Ribbon APIs in util/ribbon_config.h now provide configuration data for not just 5% construction failure rate (95% success), but also 50% and 0.1%.
  * Note that the Ribbon structure does not exhibit "threshold" behavior as standard Xor filter does, so there is a roughly fixed space penalty to cut construction failure rate in half. Thus, there isn't really an "almost sure" setting.
  * Although we can extrapolate settings for large filters, we don't have a good formula for configuring smaller filters (< 2^17 slots or so), and efforts to summarize with a formula have failed. Thus, small data is hard-coded from updated FindOccupancy tool.
* Enhances ApproximateNumEntries for public API Ribbon using more precise data (new API GetNumToAdd), thus a more accurate but not perfect reversal of CalculateSpace. (bloom_test updated to expect the greater precision)
* Move EndianSwapValue from coding.h to coding_lean.h to keep Ribbon code easily transferable from RocksDB
* Add some missing 'const' to member functions
* Small optimization to 128-bit BitParity
* Small refactoring of BandingStorage in ribbon_alg.h to support Homogeneous Ribbon
* CompactnessAndBacktrackAndFpRate now has an "expand" test: on construction failure, a possible alternative to re-seeding hash functions is simply to increase the number of slots (allocated space overhead) and try again with essentially the same hash values. (Start locations will be different roundings of the same scaled hash values--because fastrange not mod.) This seems to be as effective or more effective than re-seeding, as long as we increase the number of slots (m) by roughly m += m/w where w is the Ribbon width. This way, there is effectively an expansion by one slot for each ribbon-width window in the banding. (This approach assumes that getting "bad data" from your hash function is as unlikely as it naturally should be, e.g. no adversary.)
* 32-bit and 16-bit Ribbon configurations are added to ribbon_test for understanding their behavior, e.g. with FindOccupancy. They are not considered useful at this time and not tested with CompactnessAndBacktrackAndFpRate.

12f1137355 Add a SystemClock class to capture the time functions of an Env (#7858)
Summary:
Introduces and uses a SystemClock class to RocksDB.  This class contains the time-related functions of an Env and these functions can be redirected from the Env to the SystemClock.

Many of the places that used an Env (Timer, PerfStepTimer, RepeatableThread, RateLimiter, WriteController) for time-related functions have been changed to use SystemClock instead.  There are likely more places that can be changed, but this is a start to show what can/should be done.  Over time it would be nice to migrate most (if not all) of the uses of the time functions from the Env to the SystemClock.

There are several Env classes that implement these functions.  Most of these have not been converted yet to SystemClock implementations; that will come in a subsequent PR.  It would be good to unify many of the Mock Timer implementations, so that they behave similarly and be tested similarly (some override Sleep, some use a MockSleep, etc).

Additionally, this change will allow new methods to be introduced to the SystemClock (like https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/7101 WaitFor) in a consistent manner across a smaller number of classes.

60af964372 Experimental (production candidate) SST schema for Ribbon filter (#7658)
Summary:
Added experimental public API for Ribbon filter:
NewExperimentalRibbonFilterPolicy(). This experimental API will
take a "Bloom equivalent" bits per key, and configure the Ribbon
filter for the same FP rate as Bloom would have but ~30% space
savings. (Note: optimize_filters_for_memory is not yet implemented
for Ribbon filter. That can be added with no effect on schema.)

Internally, the Ribbon filter is configured using a "one_in_fp_rate"
value, which is 1 over desired FP rate. For example, use 100 for 1%
FP rate. I'm expecting this will be used in the future for configuring
Bloom-like filters, as I expect people to more commonly hold constant
the filter accuracy and change the space vs. time trade-off, rather than
hold constant the space (per key) and change the accuracy vs. time
trade-off, though we might make that available.

### Benchmarking

```

168.166 / 238.488 = 0.705  -> 29.5% space reduction

130.851 / 34.1341 = 3.83x construction time for this Ribbon filter vs. lastest Bloom filter (could make that as little as about 2.5x for less space reduction)

### Working around a hashing "flaw"

bloom_test discovered a flaw in the simple hashing applied in
StandardHasher when num_starts == 1 (num_slots == 128), showing an
excessively high FP rate.  The problem is that when many entries, on the
order of number of hash bits or kCoeffBits, are associated with the same
start location, the correlation between the CoeffRow and ResultRow (for
efficiency) can lead to a solution that is "universal," or nearly so, for
entries mapping to that start location. (Normally, variance in start
location breaks the effective association between CoeffRow and
ResultRow; the same value for CoeffRow is effectively different if start
locations are different.) Without kUseSmash and with num_starts > 1 (thus
num_starts ~= num_slots), this flaw should be completely irrelevant.  Even
with 10M slots, the chances of a single slot having just 16 (or more)
entries map to it--not enough to cause an FP problem, which would be local
to that slot if it happened--is 1 in millions. This spreadsheet formula
shows that: =1/(10000000*(1 - POISSON(15, 1, TRUE)))

As kUseSmash==false (the setting for Standard128RibbonBitsBuilder) is
intended for CPU efficiency of filters with many more entries/slots than
kCoeffBits, a very reasonable work-around is to disallow num_starts==1
when !kUseSmash, by making the minimum non-zero number of slots
2*kCoeffBits. This is the work-around I've applied. This also means that
the new Ribbon filter schema (Standard128RibbonBitsBuilder) is not
space-efficient for less than a few hundred entries. Because of this, I
have made it fall back on constructing a Bloom filter, under existing
schema, when that is more space efficient for small filters. (We can
change this in the future if we want.)

TODO: better unit tests for this case in ribbon_test, and probably
update StandardHasher for kUseSmash case so that it can scale nicely to
small filters.

### Other related changes

* Add Ribbon filter to stress/crash test
* Add Ribbon filter to filter_bench as -impl=3
* Add option string support, as in "filter_policy=experimental_ribbon:5.678;"
where 5.678 is the Bloom equivalent bits per key.
* Rename internal mode BloomFilterPolicy::kAuto to kAutoBloom
* Add a general BuiltinFilterBitsBuilder::CalculateNumEntry based on
binary searching CalculateSpace (inefficient), so that subclasses
(especially experimental ones) don't have to provide an efficient
implementation inverting CalculateSpace.
* Minor refactor FastLocalBloomBitsBuilder for new base class
XXH3pFilterBitsBuilder shared with new Standard128RibbonBitsBuilder,
which allows the latter to fall back on Bloom construction in some
extreme cases.
* Mostly updated bloom_test for Ribbon filter, though a test like
FullBloomTest::Schema is a next TODO to ensure schema stability
(in case this becomes production-ready schema as it is).
* Add some APIs to ribbon_impl.h for configuring Ribbon filters.
Although these are reasonably covered by bloom_test, TODO more unit
tests in ribbon_test
* Added a "tool" FindOccupancyForSuccessRate to ribbon_test to get data
for constructing the linear approximations in GetNumSlotsFor95PctSuccess.

Test Plan:
Some unit tests updated but other testing is left TODO. This
is considered experimental but laying down schema compatibility as early
as possible in case it proves production-quality. Also tested in
stress/crash test.

8b8a2e9f05 Ribbon: major re-work of hashing, seeds, and more (#7635)
Summary:
* Fully optimized StandardHasher, in terms of efficiently generating Start, CoeffRow, and ResultRow from a stock hash value, with sufficient independence between them to have no measurably degraded behavior. (Degraded behavior would be an FP rate higher than explainable by 2^-b and, if using a 32-bit stock hash function, expected stock hash collisions.) Details in code comments.
* Our standard 64-bit and 32-bit hash functions do not exhibit sufficient independence on sequential seeds (for one Ribbon construction attempt to have independent probability from the next). I have worked around this in the Ribbon code by "pre-mixing" "ordinal seeds," sequentially tried and appropriate for storage in persisted metadata, into "raw seeds," ready for application and appropriate for in-memory storage. This way the pre-mixing step (though fast) is only applied on loading or configuring the structure, not on each query or banding add.
* Fix a subtle flaw in which backtracking not clearing ResultRow data could lead to elevated FP rate on keys that were backtracked on and should (for generality) exhibit the same FP rate as novel keys.
* Added a basic test for PhsfQuery and construction algorithms (map or "retrieval structure" rather than set or filter), and made a few trivial related fixes.
* Better random configuration generation in unit tests
* Some other minor cleanup / clarification / etc.

25d54c799c Ribbon: initial (general) algorithms and basic unit test (#7491)
Summary:
This is intended as the first commit toward a near-optimal alternative to static Bloom filters for SSTs. Stephan Walzer and I have agreed upon the name "Ribbon" for a PHSF based on his linear system construction in "Efficient Gauss Elimination for Near-Quadratic Matrices with One Short Random Block per Row, with Applications" ("SGauss") and my much faster "on the fly" algorithm for gaussian elimination (or for this linear system, "banding"), which can be faster than peeling while also more compact and flexible. See util/ribbon_alg.h for more detailed introduction and background. RIBBON = Rapid Incremental Boolean Banding ON-the-fly

This commit just adds generic (templatized) core algorithms and a basic unit test showing some features, including the ability to construct structures within 2.5% space overhead vs. information theoretic lower bound. (Compare to cache-local Bloom filter's ~50% space overhead -> ~30% reduction anticipated.) This commit does not include the storage scheme necessary to make queries fast, especially for filter queries, nor fractional "result bits", but there is some description already and those implementations will come soon. Nor does this commit add FilterPolicy support, for use in SST files, but that will also come soon.
