0050a73a4f New stable, fixed-length cache keys (#9126)
Summary:
This change standardizes on a new 16-byte cache key format for
block cache (incl compressed and secondary) and persistent cache (but
not table cache and row cache).

The goal is a really fast cache key with practically ideal stability and
uniqueness properties without external dependencies (e.g. from FileSystem).
A fixed key size of 16 bytes should enable future optimizations to the
concurrent hash table for block cache, which is a heavy CPU user /
bottleneck, but there appears to be measurable performance improvement
even with no changes to LRUCache.

This change replaces a lot of disjointed and ugly code handling cache
keys with calls to a simple, clean new internal API (cache_key.h).
(Preserving the old cache key logic under an option would be very ugly
and likely negate the performance gain of the new approach. Complete
replacement carries some inherent risk, but I think that's acceptable
with sufficient analysis and testing.)

The scheme for encoding new cache keys is complicated but explained
in cache_key.cc.

Also: EndianSwapValue is moved to math.h to be next to other bit
operations. (Explains some new include "math.h".) ReverseBits operation
added and unit tests added to hash_test for both.

Fixes https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/7405 (presuming a root cause)

Test Plan:
### Basic correctness
Several tests needed updates to work with the new functionality, mostly
because we are no longer relying on filesystem for stable cache keys
so table builders & readers need more context info to agree on cache
keys. This functionality is so core, a huge number of existing tests
exercise the cache key functionality.

### Performance
Create db with
`TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm ./db_bench -bloom_bits=10 -benchmarks=fillrandom -num=3000000 -partition_index_and_filters`
And test performance with
`TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm ./db_bench -readonly -use_existing_db -bloom_bits=10 -benchmarks=readrandom -num=3000000 -duration=30 -cache_index_and_filter_blocks -cache_size=250000 -threads=4`
using DEBUG_LEVEL=0 and simultaneous before & after runs.
Before ops/sec, avg over 100 runs: 121924
After ops/sec, avg over 100 runs: 125385 (+2.8%)

### Collision probability
I have built a tool, ./cache_bench -stress_cache_key to broadly simulate host-wide cache activity
over many months, by making some pessimistic simplifying assumptions:
* Every generated file has a cache entry for every byte offset in the file (contiguous range of cache keys)
* All of every file is cached for its entire lifetime

We use a simple table with skewed address assignment and replacement on address collision
to simulate files coming & going, with quite a variance (super-Poisson) in ages. Some output
with `./cache_bench -stress_cache_key -sck_keep_bits=40`:

```
Total cache or DBs size: 32TiB  Writing 925.926 MiB/s or 76.2939TiB/day
Multiply by 9.22337e+18 to correct for simulation losses (but still assume whole file cached)
```

These come from default settings of 2.5M files per day of 32 MB each, and
`-sck_keep_bits=40` means that to represent a single file, we are only keeping 40 bits of
the 128-bit cache key.  With file size of 2\*\*25 contiguous keys (pessimistic), our simulation
is about 2\*\*(128-40-25) or about 9 billion billion times more prone to collision than reality.

More default assumptions, relatively pessimistic:
* 100 DBs in same process (doesn't matter much)
* Re-open DB in same process (new session ID related to old session ID) on average
every 100 files generated
* Restart process (all new session IDs unrelated to old) 24 times per day

After enough data, we get a result at the end:

```
(keep 40 bits)  17 collisions after 2 x 90 days, est 10.5882 days between (9.76592e+19 corrected)
```

If we believe the (pessimistic) simulation and the mathematical generalization, we would need to run a billion machines all for 97 billion days to expect a cache key collision. To help verify that our generalization ("corrected") is robust, we can make our simulation more precise with `-sck_keep_bits=41` and `42`, which takes more running time to get enough data:

```
(keep 41 bits)  16 collisions after 4 x 90 days, est 22.5 days between (1.03763e+20 corrected)
(keep 42 bits)  19 collisions after 10 x 90 days, est 47.3684 days between (1.09224e+20 corrected)
```

The generalized prediction still holds. With the `-sck_randomize` option, we can see that we are beating "random" cache keys (except offsets still non-randomized) by a modest amount (roughly 20x less collision prone than random), which should make us reasonably comfortable even in "degenerate" cases:

```
197 collisions after 1 x 90 days, est 0.456853 days between (4.21372e+18 corrected)
```

I've run other tests to validate other conditions behave as expected, never behaving "worse than random" unless we start chopping off structured data.

74544d582f Account Bloom/Ribbon filter construction memory in global memory limit (#9073)
Summary:
Note: This PR is the 4th part of a bigger PR stack (https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/9073) and will rebase/merge only after the first three PRs (https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/9070, https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/9071, https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/9130) merge.

**Context:**
Similar to https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/8428, this PR is to track memory usage during (new) Bloom Filter (i.e,FastLocalBloom) and Ribbon Filter (i.e, Ribbon128) construction, moving toward the goal of [single global memory limit using block cache capacity](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/Projects-Being-Developed#improving-memory-efficiency). It also constrains the size of the banding portion of Ribbon Filter during construction by falling back to Bloom Filter if that banding is, at some point, larger than the available space in the cache under `LRUCacheOptions::strict_capacity_limit=true`.

The option to turn on this feature is `BlockBasedTableOptions::reserve_table_builder_memory = true` which by default is set to `false`. We [decided](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/9073#discussion_r741548409) not to have separate option for separate memory user in table building therefore their memory accounting are all bundled under one general option.

**Summary:**
- Reserved/released cache for creation/destruction of three main memory users with the passed-in `FilterBuildingContext::cache_res_mgr` during filter construction:
   - hash entries (i.e`hash_entries`.size(), we bucket-charge hash entries during insertion for performance),
   - banding (Ribbon Filter only, `bytes_coeff_rows` +`bytes_result_rows` + `bytes_backtrack`),
   - final filter (i.e, `mutable_buf`'s size).
      - Implementation details: in order to use `CacheReservationManager::CacheReservationHandle` to account final filter's memory, we have to store the `CacheReservationManager` object and `CacheReservationHandle` for final filter in `XXPH3BitsFilterBuilder` as well as  explicitly delete the filter bits builder when done with the final filter in block based table.
- Added option fo run `filter_bench` with this memory reservation feature

Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/9073

Test Plan:
- Added new tests in `db_bloom_filter_test` to verify filter construction peak cache reservation under combination of  `BlockBasedTable::Rep::FilterType` (e.g, `kFullFilter`, `kPartitionedFilter`), `BloomFilterPolicy::Mode`(e.g, `kFastLocalBloom`, `kStandard128Ribbon`, `kDeprecatedBlock`) and `BlockBasedTableOptions::reserve_table_builder_memory`
  - To address the concern for slow test: tests with memory reservation under `kFullFilter` + `kStandard128Ribbon` and `kPartitionedFilter` take around **3000 - 6000 ms** and others take around **1500 - 2000 ms**, in total adding **20000 - 25000 ms** to the test suit running locally
- Added new test in `bloom_test` to verify Ribbon Filter fallback on large banding in FullFilter
- Added test in `filter_bench` to verify that this feature does not significantly slow down Bloom/Ribbon Filter construction speed. Local result averaged over **20** run as below:
   - FastLocalBloom
      - baseline `./filter_bench -impl=2 -quick -runs 20 | grep 'Build avg'`:
         - **Build avg ns/key: 29.56295** (DEBUG_LEVEL=1), **29.98153** (DEBUG_LEVEL=0)
      - new feature (expected to be similar as above)`./filter_bench -impl=2 -quick -runs 20 -reserve_table_builder_memory=true | grep 'Build avg'`:
         - **Build avg ns/key: 30.99046** (DEBUG_LEVEL=1), **30.48867** (DEBUG_LEVEL=0)
      - new feature of RibbonFilter with fallback  (expected to be similar as above) `./filter_bench -impl=2 -quick -runs 20 -reserve_table_builder_memory=true -strict_capacity_limit=true | grep 'Build avg'` :
         - **Build avg ns/key: 31.146975** (DEBUG_LEVEL=1), **30.08165** (DEBUG_LEVEL=0)

    - Ribbon128
       - baseline `./filter_bench -impl=3 -quick -runs 20 | grep 'Build avg'`:
           - **Build avg ns/key: 129.17585** (DEBUG_LEVEL=1), **130.5225** (DEBUG_LEVEL=0)
       - new feature  (expected to be similar as above) `./filter_bench -impl=3 -quick -runs 20 -reserve_table_builder_memory=true | grep 'Build avg' `:
           - **Build avg ns/key: 131.61645** (DEBUG_LEVEL=1), **132.98075** (DEBUG_LEVEL=0)
       - new feature of RibbonFilter with fallback (expected to be a lot faster than above due to fallback) `./filter_bench -impl=3 -quick -runs 20 -reserve_table_builder_memory=true -strict_capacity_limit=true | grep 'Build avg'` :
          - **Build avg ns/key: 52.032965** (DEBUG_LEVEL=1), **52.597825** (DEBUG_LEVEL=0)
          - And the warning message of `"Cache reservation for Ribbon filter banding failed due to cache full"` is indeed logged to console.

2fbe32b0c1 RAII support for per cache reservation through handle (#9130)
Summary:
Note: This PR is the 3rd PR of a bigger PR stack (https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/9073) and depends on the second PR (https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/9071). **See changes from this PR only 00447324d0**

Context:
pdillinger brought up a good [point](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/9073#discussion_r741478309) about lacking RAII support for per cache reservation in `CacheReservationManager`  when reviewing https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/9073.

To summarize the discussion, the current API `CacheReservationManager::UpdateCacheReservation()` requires callers to explicitly calculate and pass in a correct`new_mem_used` to release a cache reservation (if they don't want to rely on the clean-up during `CacheReservationManager`'s destruction - such as they want to release it earlier).

While this implementation has convenience in some use-case such as `WriteBufferManager`, where [reservation](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/blob/main/memtable/write_buffer_manager.cc#L69-L91) and [release](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/blob/main/memtable/write_buffer_manager.cc#L109-L129) amounts do not necessarily correspond symmetrically and thus a flexible `new_mem_used` inputing is needed, it can be prone to caller's calculation error as well as cause a mass of codes in releasing cache in other use-case such as filter construction, where reservation and release amounts do correspond symmetrically and many code paths requiring a cache release, as [pointed](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/9073#discussion_r741478309) out by pdillinger.

Therefore we decided to provide a new API in `CacheReservationManager` to update reservation with better RAII support for per cache reservation, using a handle to manage the life time of that particular cache reservation.
- Added a new class `CacheReservationHandle`
- Added a new API `CacheReservationManager::MakeCacheReservation()` that outputs a `CacheReservationHandle` for managing the reservation
- Updated class comments to clarify two different cache reservation methods

Tests:
- Passing new tests

ffd6085e1f Add new API CacheReservationManager::GetTotalMemoryUsage() (#9071)
Summary:
Note: This PR is the 2nd PR of a bigger PR stack (https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/9073).

Context:
`CacheReservationManager::UpdateCacheReservation(std::size_t new_memory_used)` accepts an accumulated total memory used (e.g, used 10MB so far) instead of usage change (e.g, increase by 5 MB, decrease by 5 MB). It has benefits including consolidating API for increase and decrease as described in https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/8506.

However, not every `CacheReservationManager` user keeps track of this accumulated total memory usage. For example, Bloom/Ribbon Filter construction (e.g, [here](822d729fcd/table/block_based/filter_policy.cc (L587)) in https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/9073) does not  while WriteBufferManager and compression dictionary buffering do.

Considering future users might or might not keep track of this counter and implementing this counter within `CacheReservationManager` is easy due to the passed-in `std::size_t new_memory_used` in calling `CacheReservationManager::UpdateCacheReservation(std::size_t new_memory_used)`, it is proposed to add a new API `CacheReservationManager::GetTotalMemoryUsage()`.

As noted in the API comments,   since `CacheReservationManager` is NOT thread-safe, external synchronization is
 needed in calling `UpdateCacheReservation()` if you want `GetTotalMemoryUsed()` returns the indeed latest memory used.
- Added and updated private counter `memory_used_` every time `CacheReservationManager::UpdateCacheReservation(std::size_t new_memory_used)` is called regardless if the call returns non-okay status
- Added `CacheReservationManager::GetTotalMemoryUsage()` to return `memory_used_`

91b95cadee Account for dictionary-building buffer in global memory limit (#8428)
Summary:
Context:
Some data blocks are temporarily buffered in memory in BlockBasedTableBuilder for building compression dictionary used in data block compression. Currently this memory usage is not counted toward our global memory usage utilizing block cache capacity. To improve that, this PR charges that memory usage into the block cache to achieve better memory tracking and limiting.

- Reserve memory in block cache for buffered data blocks that are used to build a compression dictionary
- Release all the memory associated with buffering the data blocks mentioned above in EnterUnbuffered(), which is called when (a) buffer limit is exceeded after buffering OR (b) the block cache becomes full after reservation OR (c) BlockBasedTableBuilder calls Finish()

74cfe7db60 Refactor WriteBufferManager::CacheRep into CacheReservationManager (#8506)
Summary:
Context:
To help cap various memory usage by a single limit of the block cache capacity, we charge the memory usage through inserting/releasing dummy entries in the block cache. CacheReservationManager is such a class (non thread-safe) responsible for  inserting/removing dummy entries to reserve cache space for memory used by the class user.

- Refactored the inner private class CacheRep of WriteBufferManager into public CacheReservationManager class for reusability such as for https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/8428

- Encapsulated implementation details of cache key generation and dummy entries insertion/release in cache reservation as discussed in https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/8506#discussion_r666550838

- Consolidated increase/decrease cache reservation into one API - UpdateCacheReservation.

- Adjusted the previous dummy entry release algorithm in decreasing cache reservation to be loop-releasing dummy entries to stay symmetric to dummy entry insertion algorithm

- Made the previous dummy entry release algorithm in delayed decrease mode more aggressive for better decreasing cache reservation when memory used is less likely to increase back.

  Previously, the algorithms only release 1 dummy entries when new_mem_used < 3/4 * cache_allocated_size_ and cache_allocated_size_ - kSizeDummyEntry > new_mem_used.
Now, the algorithms loop-releases as many dummy entries as possible when new_mem_used < 3/4 * cache_allocated_size_.

- Updated WriteBufferManager's test cases to adapt to changes on the release algorithm mentioned above and left comment for some test cases for clarity

- Replaced the previous cache key prefix generation (utilizing object address related to the cache client) with one that utilizes Cache->NewID() to prevent cache-key collision among dummy entry clients sharing the same cache.

  The specific collision we are preventing happens when the object address is reused for a new cache-key prefix while the old cache-key using that same object address in its prefix still exists in the cache. This could happen due to that, under LRU cache policy, there is a possible delay in releasing a cache entry after the cache client object owning that cache entry get deallocated. In this case, the object address related to the cache client object can get reused for other client object to generate a new cache-key prefix.

  This prefix generation can be made obsolete after Peter's unification of all the code generating cache key, mentioned in https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/8506#discussion_r667265255

Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/8506

Test Plan:
- Passing the added unit tests cache_reservation_manager_test.cc
- Passing existing and adjusted write_buffer_manager_test.cc
