128f532858 WritePrepared: fix issue with snapshot released during compaction (#4858)
Summary:
Compaction iterator keep a copy of list of live snapshots at the beginning of compaction, and then query snapshot checker to verify if values of a sequence number is visible to these snapshots. However when the snapshot is released in the middle of compaction, the snapshot checker implementation (i.e. WritePreparedSnapshotChecker) may remove info with the snapshot and may report incorrect result, which lead to values being compacted out when it shouldn't. This patch conservatively keep the values if snapshot checker determines that the snapshots is released.

4848bd0c4e Drop unnecessary deletion markers during compaction (issue - 3842) (#4289)
Summary:
This PR fixes issue 3842. We drop deletion markers iff
1. We are the bottom most level AND
2. All other occurrences of the key are in the same snapshot range as the delete

I've also enhanced db_stress_test to add an option that does a full compare of the keys. This is done by a single thread (thread # 0). For tests I've run (so far)

make check -j64

fe228da0a9 WritePrepared Txn: Support merge operator
Summary:
CompactionIterator invoke MergeHelper::MergeUntil() to do partial merge between snapshot boundaries. Previously it only depend on sequence number to tell snapshot boundary, but we also need to make use of snapshot_checker to verify visibility of the merge operands to the snapshots. For example, say there is a snapshot with seq = 2 but only can see data with seq <= 1. There are three merges, each with seq = 1, 2, 3. A correct compaction output would be (1),(2+3). Without taking snapshot_checker into account when generating merge result, compaction will generate output (1+2),(3).

By filtering uncommitted keys with read callback, the read path already take care of merges well and don't need additional updates.

7fe3b32896 Added support for differential snapshots
Summary:
The motivation for this PR is to add to RocksDB support for differential (incremental) snapshots, as snapshot of the DB changes between two points in time (one can think of it as diff between to sequence numbers, or the diff D which can be thought of as an SST file or just set of KVs that can be applied to sequence number S1 to get the database to the state at sequence number S2).

This feature would be useful for various distributed storages layers built on top of RocksDB, as it should help reduce resources (time and network bandwidth) needed to recover and rebuilt DB instances as replicas in the context of distributed storages.

From the API standpoint that would like client app requesting iterator between (start seqnum) and current DB state, and reading the "diff".

This is a very draft PR for initial review in the discussion on the approach, i'm going to rework some parts and keep updating the PR.

For now, what's done here according to initial discussions:

Preserving deletes:
 - We want to be able to optionally preserve recent deletes for some defined period of time, so that if a delete came in recently and might need to be included in the next incremental snapshot it would't get dropped by a compaction. This is done by adding new param to Options (preserve deletes flag) and new variable to DB Impl where we keep track of the sequence number after which we don't want to drop tombstones, even if they are otherwise eligible for deletion.
 - I also added a new API call for clients to be able to advance this cutoff seqnum after which we drop deletes; i assume it's more flexible to let clients control this, since otherwise we'd need to keep some kind of timestamp < -- > seqnum mapping inside the DB, which sounds messy and painful to support. Clients could make use of it by periodically calling GetLatestSequenceNumber(), noting the timestamp, doing some calculation and figuring out by how much we need to advance the cutoff seqnum.
 - Compaction codepath in compaction_iterator.cc has been modified to avoid dropping tombstones with seqnum > cutoff seqnum.

Iterator changes:
 - couple params added to ReadOptions, to optionally allow client to request internal keys instead of user keys (so that client can get the latest value of a key, be it delete marker or a put), as well as min timestamp and min seqnum.

TableCache changes:
 - I modified table_cache code to be able to quickly exclude SST files from iterators heep if creation_time on the file is less then iter_start_ts as passed in ReadOptions. That would help a lot in some DB settings (like reading very recent data only or using FIFO compactions), but not so much for universal compaction with more or less long iterator time span.

What's left:

 - Still looking at how to best plug that inside DBIter codepath. So far it seems that FindNextUserKeyInternal only parses values as UserKeys, and iter->key() call generally returns user key. Can we add new API to DBIter as internal_key(), and modify this internal method to optionally set saved_key_ to point to the full internal key? I don't need to store actual seqnum there, but I do need to store type.

ba685a472a Support ingest_behind for IngestExternalFile
Summary:
First cut for early review; there are few conceptual points to answer and some code structure issues.

For conceptual points -

 - restriction-wise, we're going to disallow ingest_behind if (use_seqno_zero_out=true || disable_auto_compaction=false), the user is responsible to properly open and close DB with required params
 - we wanted to ingest into reserved bottom most level. Should we fail fast if bottom level isn't empty, or should we attempt to ingest if file fits there key-ranges-wise?
 - Modifying AssignLevelForIngestedFile seems the place we we'd handle that.

On code structure - going to refactor GenerateAndAddExternalFile call in the test class to allow passing instance of IngestionOptions, that's just going to incur lots of changes at callsites.

247d0979aa Support for range skips in compaction filter
Summary:
This adds the ability for compaction filter to say "drop this key-value, and also drop everything up to key x". This will cause the compaction to seek input iterator to x, without reading the data. This can make compaction much faster when large consecutive chunks of data are filtered out. See the changes in include/rocksdb/compaction_filter.h for the new API.

Along the way this diff also adds ability for compaction filter changing merge operands, similar to how it can change values; we're not going to use this feature, it just seemed easier and cleaner to implement it than to document that it's not implemented :)

The diff is not as big as it may seem, about half of the lines are a test.

6fbe96baf8 Compaction Support for Range Deletion
Summary:
This diff introduces RangeDelAggregator, which takes ownership of iterators
provided to it via AddTombstones(). The tombstones are organized in a two-level
map (snapshot stripe -> begin key -> tombstone). Tombstone creation avoids data
copy by holding Slices returned by the iterator, which remain valid thanks to pinning.

For compaction, we create a hierarchical range tombstone iterator with structure
matching the iterator over compaction input data. An aggregator based on that
iterator is used by CompactionIterator to determine which keys are covered by
range tombstones. In case of merge operand, the same aggregator is used by
MergeHelper. Upon finishing each file in the compaction, relevant range tombstones
are added to the output file's range tombstone metablock and file boundaries are
updated accordingly.

To check whether a key is covered by range tombstone, RangeDelAggregator::ShouldDelete()
considers tombstones in the key's snapshot stripe. When this function is used outside of
compaction, it also checks newer stripes, which can contain covering tombstones. Currently
the intra-stripe check involves a linear scan; however, in the future we plan to collapse ranges
within a stripe such that binary search can be used.

RangeDelAggregator::AddToBuilder() adds all range tombstones in the table's key-range
to a new table's range tombstone meta-block. Since range tombstones may fall in the gap
between files, we may need to extend some files' key-ranges. The strategy is (1) first file
extends as far left as possible and other files do not extend left, (2) all files extend right
until either the start of the next file or the end of the last range tombstone in the gap,
whichever comes first.

One other notable change is adding release/move semantics to ScopedArenaIterator
such that it can be used to transfer ownership of an arena-allocated iterator, similar to
how unique_ptr is used for malloc'd data.

Depends on D61473

ec704aafdc Support marking snapshots for write-conflict checking
Summary:
D50475 enables using SST files for transaction write-conflict checking.  In order for this to work, we need to make sure not to compact out SingleDeletes when there is an earlier transaction snapshot(D50295).  If there is a long-held snapshot, this could reduce the benefit of the SingleDelete optimization.

This diff allows Transactions to mark snapshots as being used for write-conflict checking.  Then, during compaction, we will be able to optimize SingleDeletes better in the future.

This diff adds a flag to SnapshotImpl which is used by Transactions.  This diff also passes the earliest write-conflict snapshot's sequence number to CompactionIterator.  This diff does not actually change Compaction (after this diff is pushed, D50295 will be able to use this information).

Test Plan: no behavior change, ran existing tests

d80ce7f99a Compaction filter on merge operands
Summary:
Since Andres' internship is over, I took over https://reviews.facebook.net/D42555 and rebased and simplified it a bit.

The behavior in this diff is a bit simpler than in D42555:
* only merge operators are passed through FilterMergeValue(). If fitler function returns true, the merge operator is ignored
* compaction filter is *not* called on: 1) results of merge operations and 2) base values that are getting merged with merge operands (the second case was also true in previous diff)

Do we also need a compaction filter to get called on merge results?

Test Plan: make && make check

Andres Noetzli
014fd55adc Support for SingleDelete()
Summary:
This patch fixes #7460559. It introduces SingleDelete as a new database
operation. This operation can be used to delete keys that were never
overwritten (no put following another put of the same key). If an overwritten
key is single deleted the behavior is undefined. Single deletion of a
non-existent key has no effect but multiple consecutive single deletions are
not allowed (see limitations).

In contrast to the conventional Delete() operation, the deletion entry is
removed along with the value when the two are lined up in a compaction. Note:
The semantics are similar to @igor's prototype that allowed to have this
behavior on the granularity of a column family (
https://reviews.facebook.net/D42093 ). This new patch, however, is more
aggressive when it comes to removing tombstones: It removes the SingleDelete
together with the value whenever there is no snapshot between them while the
older patch only did this when the sequence number of the deletion was older
than the earliest snapshot.

Most of the complex additions are in the Compaction Iterator, all other changes
should be relatively straightforward. The patch also includes basic support for
single deletions in db_stress and db_bench.

Limitations:
- Not compatible with cuckoo hash tables
- Single deletions cannot be used in combination with merges and normal
  deletions on the same key (other keys are not affected by this)
- Consecutive single deletions are currently not allowed (and older version of
  this patch supported this so it could be resurrected if needed)

Test Plan: make all check
