Summary:
The filter bits builder collects all the hashes to add in memory before adding them (because the number of keys is not known until we've walked over all the keys). Existing code uses a std::vector for this, which can mean up to 2x than necessary space allocated (and not freed) and up to ~2x write amplification in memory. Using std::deque uses close to minimal space (for large filters, the only time it matters), no write amplification, frees memory while building, and no need for large contiguous memory area. The only cost is more calls to allocator, which does not appear to matter, at least in benchmark test.
For now, this change only applies to the new (format_version=5) Bloom filter implementation, to ease before-and-after comparison downstream.
Temporary memory use during build is about the only way the new Bloom filter could regress vs. the old (because of upgrade to 64-bit hash) and that should only matter for full filters. This change should largely mitigate that potential regression.

Test Plan:
Using filter_bench with -new_builder option and 6M keys per filter is like large full filter (improvement). 10k keys and no -new_builder is like partitioned filters (about the same). (Corresponding configurations run simultaneously on devserver.)

Summary:
The current Env API encompasses both storage/file operations, as well as OS related operations. Most of the APIs return a Status, which does not have enough metadata about an error, such as whether its retry-able or not, scope (i.e fault domain) of the error etc., that may be required in order to properly handle a storage error. The file APIs also do not provide enough control over the IO SLA, such as timeout, prioritization, hinting about placement and redundancy etc.
This PR separates out the file/storage APIs from Env into a new FileSystem class. The APIs are updated to return an IOStatus with metadata about the error, as well as to take an IOOptions structure as input in order to allow more control over the IO.
The user can set both ```options.env``` and ```options.file_system``` to specify that RocksDB should use the former for OS related operations and the latter for storage operations. Internally, a ```CompositeEnvWrapper``` has been introduced that inherits from ```Env``` and redirects individual methods to either an ```Env``` implementation or the ```FileSystem``` as appropriate. When options are sanitized during ```DB::Open```, ```options.env``` is replaced with a newly allocated ```CompositeEnvWrapper``` instance if both env and file_system have been specified. This way, the rest of the RocksDB code can continue to function as before.
This PR also ports PosixEnv to the new API by splitting it into two - PosixEnv and PosixFileSystem. PosixEnv is defined as a sub-class of CompositeEnvWrapper, and threading/time functions are overridden with Posix specific implementations in order to avoid an extra level of indirection.
The ```CompositeEnvWrapper``` translates ```IOStatus``` return code to ```Status```, and sets the severity to ```kSoftError``` if the io_status is retryable. The error handling code in RocksDB can then recover the DB automatically.

Summary:
This change fixes a source issue that caused compile time error which breaks build for many fbcode services in that setup. The size() member function of channel is a const member, so member variables accessed within it are implicitly const as well. This caused error when clang fails to resolve to a constructor that takes std::mutex because the suitable constructor got rejected due to loss of constness for its argument. The fix is to add mutable modifier to the lock_ member of channel.

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

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:
For upcoming new SST filter implementations, we will use a new
64-bit hash function (XXH3 preview, slightly modified). This change
updates hash.{h,cc} for that change, adds unit tests, and out-of-lines
the implementations to keep hash.h as clean/small as possible.
In developing the unit tests, I discovered that the XXH3 preview always
returns zero for the empty string. Zero is problematic for some
algorithms (including an upcoming SST filter implementation) if it
occurs more often than at the "natural" rate, so it should not be
returned from trivial values using trivial seeds. I modified our fork
of XXH3 to return a modest hash of the seed for the empty string.
With hash function details out-of-lines in hash.h, it makes sense to
enable XXH_INLINE_ALL, so that direct calls to XXH64/XXH32/XXH3p
are inlined. To fix array-bounds warnings on some inline calls, I
injected some casts to uintptr_t in xxhash.cc. (Issue reported to Yann.)
Revised: Reverted using XXH_INLINE_ALL for now. Some Facebook
checks are unhappy about #include on xxhash.cc file. I would
fix that by rename to xxhash_cc.h, but to best preserve history I want
to do that in a separate commit (PR) from the uintptr casts.
Also updated filter_bench for this change, improving the performance
predictability of dry run hashing and adding support for 64-bit hash
(for upcoming new SST filter implementations, minor dead code in the
tool for now).

Summary:
- Updated our included xxhash implementation to version 0.7.2 (== the latest dev version as of 2019-10-09).
- Using XXH_NAMESPACE (like other fb projects) to avoid potential name collisions.
- Added fastrange64, and unit tests for it and fastrange32. These are faster alternatives to hash % range.
- Use preview version of XXH3 instead of MurmurHash64A for NPHash64
-- Had to update cache_test to increase probability of passing for any given hash function.
- Use fastrange64 instead of % with uses of NPHash64
-- Had to fix WritePreparedTransactionTest.CommitOfDelayedPrepared to avoid deadlock apparently caused by new hash collision.
- Set default seed for NPHash64 because specifying a seed rarely makes sense for it.
- Removed unnecessary include xxhash.h in a popular .h file
- Rename preview version of XXH3 to XXH3p for clarity and to ease backward compatibility in case final version of XXH3 is integrated.
Relying on existing unit tests for NPHash64-related changes. Each new implementation of fastrange64 passed unit tests when manipulating my local build to select it. I haven't done any integration performance tests, but I consider the improved performance of the pieces being swapped in to be well established.

Summary:
The first version of filter_bench has selectable key size
but that size does not vary throughout a test run. This artificially
favors "branchy" hash functions like the existing BloomHash,
MurmurHash1, probably because of optimal return for branch prediction.
This change primarily varies those key sizes from -2 to +2 bytes vs.
the average selected size. We also set the default key size at 24 to
better reflect our best guess of typical key size.
But steadily random key sizes may not be realistic either. So this
change introduces a new filter_bench option:
-vary_key_size_log2_interval=n where the same key size is used 2^n
times and then changes to another size. I've set the default at 5
(32 times same size) as a compromise between deployments with
rather consistent vs. rather variable key sizes. On my Skylake
system, the performance boost to MurmurHash1 largely lies between
n=10 and n=15.
Also added -vary_key_alignment (bool, now default=true), though this
doesn't currently seem to matter in hash functions under
consideration.
This change also does a "dry run" for each testing scenario, to improve
the accuracy of those numbers, as there was more difference between
scenarios than expected. Subtracting gross test run times from dry run
times is now also embedded in the output, because these "net" times are
generally the most useful.

Summary:
Amongst other things, PR https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/5504 refactored the filter block readers so that
only the filter block contents are stored in the block cache (as opposed to the
earlier design where the cache stored the filter block reader itself, leading to
potentially dangling pointers and concurrency bugs). However, this change
introduced a performance hit since with the new code, the metadata fields are
re-parsed upon every access. This patch reunites the block contents with the
filter bits reader to eliminate this overhead; since this is still a self-contained
pure data object, it is safe to store it in the cache. (Note: this is similar to how
the zstd digest is handled.)

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):

However PR#5936 has/will reclaim most of this cost. After that PR, the optimization of this code path is likely negligible, but nonetheless it's clear we aren't making performance any worse.

Summary:
RocksDB has a MultiGet() API that implements batched key lookup for higher performance (https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/blob/master/include/rocksdb/db.h#L468). Currently, batching is implemented in BlockBasedTableReader::MultiGet() for SST file lookups. One of the ways it improves performance is by pipelining bloom filter lookups (by prefetching required cachelines for all the keys in the batch, and then doing the probe) and thus hiding the cache miss latency. The same concept can be extended to the memtable as well. This PR involves implementing a pipelined bloom filter lookup in DynamicBloom, and implementing MemTable::MultiGet() that can leverage it.

Manual compaction may bring in very high load because sometime the amount of data involved in a compaction could be large, which may affect online service. So it would be good if the running compaction making the server busy can be stopped immediately. In this implementation, stopping manual compaction condition is only checked in slow process.

fbshipit-source-id: e7beb5d55d4855fceb2b84bc8119a6b0759de635
Summary:
Since DynamicBloom is now only used in-memory, we're free to
change it without schema compatibility issues. The new implementation
is drawn from (with manifest permission)
303542a767/bloom_simulation_tests/foo.cc (L613)
This has several speed advantages over the prior implementation:
* Uses fastrange instead of %
* Minimum logic to determine first (and all) probed memory addresses
* (Major) Two probes per 64-bit memory fetch/write.
* Very fast and effective (murmur-like) hash expansion/re-mixing. (At
least on recent CPUs, integer multiplication is very cheap.)
While a Bloom filter with 512-bit cache locality has about a 1.15x FP
rate penalty (e.g. 0.84% to 0.97%), further restricting to two probes
per 64 bits incurs an additional 1.12x FP rate penalty (e.g. 0.97% to
1.09%). Nevertheless, the unit tests show no "mediocre" FP rate samples,
unlike the old implementation with more erratic FP rates.
Especially for the memtable, we expect speed to outweigh somewhat higher
FP rates. For example, a negative table query would have to be 1000x
slower than a BF query to justify doubling BF query time to shave 10% off
FP rate (working assumption around 1% FP rate). While that seems likely
for SSTs, my data suggests a speed factor of roughly 50x for the memtable
(vs. BF; ~1.5% lower write throughput when enabling memtable Bloom
filter, after this change). Thus, it's probably not worth even 5% more
time in the Bloom filter to shave off 1/10th of the Bloom FP rate, or 0.1%
in absolute terms, and it's probably at least 20% slower to recoup that
much FP rate from this new implementation. Because of this, we do not see
a need for a 'locality' option that affects the MemTable Bloom filter
and have decoupled the MemTable Bloom filter from Options::bloom_locality.
Note that just 3% more memory to the Bloom filter (10.3 bits per key vs.
just 10) is able to make up for the ~12% FP rate drop in the new
implementation:

Performance unit test: DynamicBloomTest.concurrent_with_perf is updated
to report more precise timing data. (Measure running time of each
thread, not just longest running thread, etc.) Results averaged over
various sizes enabled with --enable_perf and 20 runs each; old dynamic
bloom refers to locality=1, the faster of the old:
old dynamic bloom, avg add latency = 65.6468
new dynamic bloom, avg add latency = 44.3809
old dynamic bloom, avg query latency = 50.6485
new dynamic bloom, avg query latency = 43.2186
old avg parallel add latency = 41.678
new avg parallel add latency = 24.5238
old avg parallel hit latency = 14.6322
new avg parallel hit latency = 12.3939
old avg parallel miss latency = 16.7289
new avg parallel miss latency = 12.2134
Tested on a dedicated 64-bit production machine at Facebook. Significant
improvement all around.
Despite now using std::atomic<uint64_t>, quick before-and-after test on
a 32-bit machine (Intel Atom N270, released 2008) shows no regression in
performance, in some cases modest improvement.

Write throughput change by enabling memtable bloom:

Readmissing throughput change by enabling memtable bloom:
Old locality=0: +34.47%

Readrandom throughput change by enabling memtable bloom:
Old locality=0: +31.54%
Old locality=1: +31.13%
New: +30.60%
conclusion -> maybe also from FP rate (after memtable flush)
--
Another conclusion we can draw from this new implementation is that the
existing 32-bit hash function is not inherently crippling the Bloom
filter speed or accuracy, below about 5 million keys. For speed, the
implementation is essentially the same whether starting with 32-bits or
64-bits of hash; it just determines whether the first multiplication
after fastrange is a pseudorandom expansion or needed re-mix. Note that
this multiplication can occur while memory is fetching.
For accuracy, in a standard configuration, you need about 5 million
keys before you have about a 1.1x FP penalty due to using a
32-bit hash vs. 64-bit:

To set up enhancements to the memtable Bloom filter, this splits the code into two copies and removes unused features from each copy. Adds test PlainTableDBTest.BloomSchema to ensure no accidental change to that format.

Summary:
MyRocks currently sets `max_write_buffer_number_to_maintain` in order to maintain enough history for transaction conflict checking. The effectiveness of this approach depends on the size of memtables. When memtables are small, it may not keep enough history; when memtables are large, this may consume too much memory.
We are proposing a new way to configure memtable list history: by limiting the memory usage of immutable memtables. The new option is `max_write_buffer_size_to_maintain` and it will take precedence over the old `max_write_buffer_number_to_maintain` if they are both set to non-zero values. The new option accounts for the total memory usage of flushed immutable memtables and mutable memtable. When the total usage exceeds the limit, RocksDB may start dropping immutable memtables (which is also called trimming history), starting from the oldest one.
The semantics of the old option actually works both as an upper bound and lower bound. History trimming will start if number of immutable memtables exceeds the limit, but it will never go below (limit-1) due to history trimming.
In order the mimic the behavior with the new option, history trimming will stop if dropping the next immutable memtable causes the total memory usage go below the size limit. For example, assuming the size limit is set to 64MB, and there are 3 immutable memtables with sizes of 20, 30, 30. Although the total memory usage is 80MB > 64MB, dropping the oldest memtable will reduce the memory usage to 60MB < 64MB, so in this case no memtable will be dropped.
