7d87f02799 support for concurrent adds to memtable
Summary:
This diff adds support for concurrent adds to the skiplist memtable
implementations.  Memory allocation is made thread-safe by the addition of
a spinlock, with small per-core buffers to avoid contention.  Concurrent
memtable writes are made via an additional method and don't impose a
performance overhead on the non-concurrent case, so parallelism can be
selected on a per-batch basis.

Write thread synchronization is an increasing bottleneck for higher levels
of concurrency, so this diff adds --enable_write_thread_adaptive_yield
(default off).  This feature causes threads joining a write batch
group to spin for a short time (default 100 usec) using sched_yield,
rather than going to sleep on a mutex.  If the timing of the yield calls
indicates that another thread has actually run during the yield then
spinning is avoided.  This option improves performance for concurrent
situations even without parallel adds, although it has the potential to
increase CPU usage (and the heuristic adaptation is not yet mature).

Parallel writes are not currently compatible with
inplace updates, update callbacks, or delete filtering.
Enable it with --allow_concurrent_memtable_write (and
--enable_write_thread_adaptive_yield).  Parallel memtable writes
are performance neutral when there is no actual parallelism, and in
my experiments (SSD server-class Linux and varying contention and key
sizes for fillrandom) they are always a performance win when there is
more than one thread.

Statistics are updated earlier in the write path, dropping the number
of DB mutex acquisitions from 2 to 1 for almost all cases.

This diff was motivated and inspired by Yahoo's cLSM work.  It is more
conservative than cLSM: RocksDB's write batch group leader role is
preserved (along with all of the existing flush and write throttling
logic) and concurrent writers are blocked until all memtable insertions
have completed and the sequence number has been advanced, to preserve
linearizability.

My test config is "db_bench -benchmarks=fillrandom -threads=$T
-batch_size=1 -memtablerep=skip_list -value_size=100 --num=1000000/$T
-level0_slowdown_writes_trigger=9999 -level0_stop_writes_trigger=9999
-disable_auto_compactions --max_write_buffer_number=8
-max_background_flushes=8 --disable_wal --write_buffer_size=160000000
--block_size=16384 --allow_concurrent_memtable_write" on a two-socket
Xeon E5-2660 @ 2.2Ghz with lots of memory and an SSD hard drive.  With 1
thread I get ~440Kops/sec.  Peak performance for 1 socket (numactl
-N1) is slightly more than 1Mops/sec, at 16 threads.  Peak performance
across both sockets happens at 30 threads, and is ~900Kops/sec, although
with fewer threads there is less performance loss when the system has
background work.

Test Plan:
1. concurrent stress tests for InlineSkipList and DynamicBloom
2. make clean; make check
3. make clean; DISABLE_JEMALLOC=1 make valgrind_check; valgrind db_bench
4. make clean; COMPILE_WITH_TSAN=1 make all check; db_bench

b9f77ba12b When slowdown is triggered, reduce the write rate
Summary: It's usually hard for users to set a value of options.delayed_write_rate. With this diff, after slowdown condition triggers, we greedily reduce write rate if estimated pending compaction bytes increase. If estimated compaction pending bytes drop, we increase the write rate.

Test Plan:
Add a unit test
Test with db_bench setting:
TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm/ ./db_bench --benchmarks=fillrandom -num=10000000 --soft_pending_compaction_bytes_limit=1000000000 --hard_pending_compaction_bytes_limit=3000000000 --delayed_write_rate=100000000

and make sure without the commit, write stop will happen, but with the commit, it will not happen.

ReadOptions::pin_data : If true keep loaded blocks in memory as long as the iterator is not deleted
Iterator::IsKeyPinned() : If true, this mean that the Slice returned by key() is valid as long as the iterator is not deleted

Also add a new option BlockBasedTableOptions::use_delta_encoding to allow users to disable delta_encoding if needed.

030215bf01 Running manual compactions in parallel with other automatic or manual compactions in restricted cases
Summary:
This diff provides a framework for doing manual
compactions in parallel with other compactions. We now have a deque of manual compactions. We also pass manual compactions as an argument from RunManualCompactions down to
BackgroundCompactions, so that RunManualCompactions can be reentrant.
Parallelism is controlled by the two routines
ConflictingManualCompaction to allow/disallow new parallel/manual
compactions based on already existing ManualCompactions. In this diff, by default manual compactions still have to run exclusive of other compactions. However, by setting the compaction option, exclusive_manual_compaction to false, it is possible to run other compactions in parallel with a manual compaction. However, we are still restricted to one manual compaction per column family at a time. All of these restrictions will be relaxed in future diffs.
I will be adding more tests later.

00d6edf6a0 Ensure the destruction order of PosixEnv and ThreadLocalPtr
Summary:
By default, RocksDB initializes the singletons of ThreadLocalPtr first, then initializes PosixEnv
via static initializer.  Destructor terminates objects in reverse order, so terminating PosixEnv
(calling pthread_mutex_lock), then ThreadLocal (calling pthread_mutex_destroy).

However, in certain case, application might initialize PosixEnv first, then ThreadLocalPtr.
This will cause core dump at the end of the program (eg. https://github.com/facebook/mysql-5.6/issues/122)

This patch fix this issue by ensuring the destruction order by moving the global static singletons
to function static singletons.  Since function static singletons are initialized when the function is first
called, this property allows us invoke to enforce the construction of the static PosixEnv and the
singletons of ThreadLocalPtr by calling the function where the ThreadLocalPtr singletons belongs
right before we initialize the static PosixEnv.

Test Plan: Verified in the MyRocks.

9a9d4759b2 InlineSkipList part 3/3 - new skiplist type that colocates key and node
Summary:
This diff completes the creation of InlineSkipList<Cmp>, which is like
SkipList<const char*, Cmp> but it always allocates the key contiguously
with the node.  This allows us to remove the pointer from the node
to the key.  As a result the memory usage of the skip list is reduced
(by 1 to sizeof(void*) bytes depending on the padding required to align
the key storage), cache locality is improved, and we halve the number
of calls to the allocator.

For skip lists whose keys are freshly-allocated const char*,
InlineSkipList is stricly preferrable to SkipList.  This diff doesn't
replace SkipList, however, because some of the use cases of SkipList in
RocksDB are either character sequences that are not allocated at the
same time as the skip list node allocation (for example
hash_linklist_rep) or have different key types (for example
write_batch_with_index).  Taking advantage of inline allocation for
those cases is left to future work.

The perf win is biggest for small values.  For single-threaded CPU-bound
(32M fillrandom operations with no WAL log) with 16 byte keys and 0 byte
values, the db_bench perf goes from ~310k ops/sec to ~410k ops/sec.  For
large values the improvement is less pronounced, but seems to be between
5% and 10% on the same configuration.

e11f676e34 Add OptionsUtil::LoadOptionsFromFile() API
Summary:
This patch adds OptionsUtil::LoadOptionsFromFile() and
OptionsUtil::LoadLatestOptionsFromDB(), which allow developers
to construct DBOptions and ColumnFamilyOptions from a RocksDB
options file.  Note that most pointer-typed options such as
merge_operator will not be constructed.

With this API, developers no longer need to remember all the
options in order to reopen an existing rocksdb instance like
the following:

  DBOptions db_options;
  std::vector<std::string> cf_names;
  std::vector<ColumnFamilyOptions> cf_opts;

  // Load primitive-typed options from an existing DB
  OptionsUtil::LoadLatestOptionsFromDB(
      dbname, &db_options, &cf_names, &cf_opts);

  // Initialize necessary pointer-typed options
  cf_opts[0].merge_operator.reset(new MyMergeOperator());
  ...

  // Construct the vector of ColumnFamilyDescriptor
  std::vector<ColumnFamilyDescriptor> cf_descs;
  for (size_t i = 0; i < cf_opts.size(); ++i) {
    cf_descs.emplace_back(cf_names[i], cf_opts[i]);
  }

  // Open the DB
  DB* db = nullptr;
  std::vector<ColumnFamilyHandle*> cf_handles;
  auto s = DB::Open(db_options, dbname, cf_descs,
                    &handles, &db);

e114f0abb8 Enable RocksDB to persist Options file.
Summary:
This patch allows rocksdb to persist options into a file on
DB::Open, SetOptions, and Create / Drop ColumnFamily.
Options files are created under the same directory as the rocksdb
instance.

In addition, this patch also adds a fail_if_missing_options_file in DBOptions
that makes any function call return non-ok status when it is not able to
persist options properly.

  // If true, then DB::Open / CreateColumnFamily / DropColumnFamily
  // / SetOptions will fail if options file is not detected or properly
  // persisted.
  //
  // DEFAULT: false
  bool fail_if_missing_options_file;

Options file names are formatted as OPTIONS-<number>, and RocksDB
will always keep the latest two options files.

Test Plan:
Add options_file_test.

options_test
column_family_test

5270b33bd3 Make use of portable uint64_t type to make possible file access
in 64-bit.

  Currently, a signed off_t type is being used for the following
  interfaces for both offset and the length in bytes:
  * `Allocate`
  * `RangeSync`

  On Linux `off_t` is automatically either 32 or 64-bit depending on
  the platform. On Windows it is always a 32-bit signed long which
  limits file access and in particular space pre-allocation
  to effectively 2 Gb.

  Proposal is to replace off_t with uint64_t as a portable type
  always access files with 64-bit interfaces.

  May need to modify posix code but lack resources to test it.
