Summary:
PR https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/5298 (and subsequent related patches) unintentionally changed the
semantics of cache_index_and_filter_blocks: historically, this option
only affected the main index/filter block; with the changes, it affects
index/filter partitions as well. This can cause performance issues when
cache_index_and_filter_blocks is false since in this case, partitions are
neither cached nor preloaded (i.e. they are loaded on demand upon each
access). The patch reverts to the earlier behavior, that is, partitions
are cached similarly to data blocks regardless of the value of the above
option.

Summary:
Currently, when the block cache is used for the filter block, it is not
really the block itself that is stored in the cache but a FilterBlockReader
object. Since this object is not pure data (it has, for instance, pointers that
might dangle, including in one case a back pointer to the TableReader), it's not
really sharable. To avoid the issues around this, the current code erases the
cache entries when the TableReader is closed (which, BTW, is not sufficient
since a concurrent TableReader might have picked up the object in the meantime).
Instead of doing this, the patch moves the FilterBlockReader out of the cache
altogether, and decouples the filter reader object from the filter block.
In particular, instead of the TableReader owning, or caching/pinning the
FilterBlockReader (based on the customer's settings), with the change the
TableReader unconditionally owns the FilterBlockReader, which in turn
owns/caches/pins the filter block. This change also enables us to reuse the code
paths historically used for data blocks for filters as well.
Note:
Eviction statistics for filter blocks are temporarily broken. We plan to fix this in a
separate phase.
