Summary:
This change enables custom implementations of FilterPolicy to
wrap a variety of NewBloomFilterPolicy and select among them based on
contextual information such as table level and compaction style.
* Moves FilterBuildingContext to public API and elaborates it with more
useful data. (It would be nice to put more general options-like data,
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
where it does not reset perf context.

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.

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:
* Adds support for plain table filter. This is not critical right now, but does add a -impl flag that will be useful for new filter implementations initially targeted at block-based table (and maybe later ported to plain table)
* Better mixing of inside vs. outside queries, for more realism
* A -best_case option handy for implementation tuning inner loop
* Option for whether to include hashing time in dry run / net timings
No modifications to production code, just filter_bench.

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.)

After:
+ Dry run ns/op: 22.2301
+ Single filter run ns/op: 47.4313
+ Random filter ns/op: 115.9
Only tests filters for the block-based table (full filters and
partitioned filters - same implementation; not block-based filters),
which seems to be the recommended format/implementation.
