df5eeb85ca Optimize sequential insert into memtable - Part 2: Implementation
Summary:
Implement a insert hint into skip-list to hint insert position. This is
to optimize for the write workload where there are multiple stream of
sequential writes. For example, there is a stream of keys of a1, a2,
a3... but also b1, b2, b2... Each stream are not neccessary strictly
sequential, but can get reorder a little bit. User can specify a prefix
extractor and the `SkipListRep` can thus maintan a hint for each of the
stream for fast insert into memtable.

This is the internal implementation part. See #1419 for the interface part.
See inline comments for details.
Closes https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/1449

f517d9dd09 Add SeekForPrev() to Iterator
Summary:
Add new Iterator API, `SeekForPrev`: find the last key that <= target key
support prefix_extractor
support prefix_same_as_start
support upper_bound
not supported in iterators without Prev()

Also add tests in db_iter_test and db_iterator_test

Pass all tests
Cheers!

2c1db5ea51 always invalidate sequential-insertion cache for concurrent skiplist adds
Summary:
InlineSkipList::InsertConcurrently should invalidate the
sequential-insertion cache prev_[] for all inserts of multi-level nodes,
not just those that increase the height of the skip list.  The invariant
for prev_ is that prev_[i] (i > 0) is supposed to be the predecessor of
prev_[0] at level i.  Before this diff InsertConcurrently could violate
this constraint when inserting a multi-level node after prev_[i] but
before prev_[0].

This diff also reenables kConcurrentSkipList as db_test's
MultiThreaded/MultiThreadedDBTest.MultiThreaded/29.

Test Plan:
1. unit tests
2. temporarily hack kConcurrentSkipList timing so that it is fast but has a 1.5% failure rate on my dev box (1ms stagger on thread launch, 1s test duration, failure rate baseline over 1000 runs)
3. observe 1000 passes post-fix

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
5. make clean; COMPILE_WITH_ASAN=1 make all check; db_bench
6. make clean; OPT=-DROCKSDB_LITE make check
7. verify no perf regressions when disabled

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.

5201729545 InlineSkipList - part 2/3
Summary:
This diff is 2/3 in a sequence that introduces a skip list optimized
for a key that is a freshly-allocated const char*.  The change is broken
into pieces to make it easier to review.  This piece removes the Key
template type, introduces the AllocateKey interface, and changes the
unit test from using uint64_t as the Key type to using pointers to an 8
byte blob.

Test Plan: unit test

Summary:
This diff is 1/3 in a sequence that introduces a skip list optimized for
a key that is a freshly-allocated const char*.  The diff is broken into
pieces to make it easier to review.  This piece only introduces the new
type by copying the existing SkipList, with mechanical naming changes
and reformatting.
