cb7a00227f The method GetOverlappingInputs should use binary search.
Summary:
The method Version::GetOverlappingInputs used a sequential search
to map a kay-range to a set of files. But the files are arranged
in ascending order of key, so a biary search is more effective.

This patch implements Version::GetOverlappingInputsBinarySearch
that finds one file that corresponds to the specified key range
and then iterates backwards and forwards to find all overlapping
files.

This patch is critical for making compactions efficient, especially
when there are thousands of files in a single level.

I measured that 1000 iterations of TEST_MaxNextLevelOverlappingBytes
takes 16000 microseconds without this patch. With this patch, the
same method takes about 4600 microseconds.

Test Plan: Almost all unit tests in db_test uses this method to lookup keys.

5273c81483 Ability to invoke application hook for every key during compaction.
Summary:
There are certain use-cases where the application intends to
delete older keys aftre they have expired a certian time period.
One option for those applications is to periodically scan the
entire database and delete appropriate keys.

A better way is to allow the application to hook into the
compaction process. This patch allows the application to set
a method callback for every key that is being compacted. If
this method returns true, then the key is not preserved in
the output of the compaction.

Test Plan:
This is mostly to preview the proposed new public api.
Since it is a public api, please do due diligence on reviewing it.

I will be writing test cases for this api in mynext version of
this patch.

321dfdc3ae Allow having different compression algorithms on different levels.
Summary:
The leveldb API is enhanced to support different compression algorithms at
different levels.

This adds the option min_level_to_compress to db_bench that specifies
the minimum level for which compression should be done when
compression is enabled. This can be used to disable compression for levels
0 and 1 which are likely to suffer from stalls because of the CPU load
for memtable flushes and (L0,L1) compaction.  Level 0 is special as it
gets frequent memtable flushes. Level 1 is special as it frequently
gets all:all file compactions between it and level 0. But all other levels
could be the same. For any level N where N > 1, the rate of sequential
IO for that level should be the same. The last level is the
exception because it might not be full and because files from it are
not read to compact with the next larger level.

The same amount of time will be spent doing compaction at any
level N excluding N=0, 1 or the last level. By this standard all
of those levels should use the same compression. The difference is that
the loss (using more disk space) from a faster compression algorithm
is less significant for N=2 than for N=3. So we might be willing to
trade disk space for faster write rates with no compression
for L0 and L1, snappy for L2, zlib for L3. Using a faster compression
algorithm for the mid levels also allows us to reclaim some cpu
without trading off much loss in disk space overhead.

Also note that little is to be gained by compressing levels 0 and 1. For
a 4-level tree they account for 10% of the data. For a 5-level tree they
account for 1% of the data.

With compression enabled:
* memtable flush rate is ~18MB/second
* (L0,L1) compaction rate is ~30MB/second

With compression enabled but min_level_to_compress=2
* memtable flush rate is ~320MB/second
* (L0,L1) compaction rate is ~560MB/second

This practicaly takes the same code from https://reviews.facebook.net/D6225
but makes the leveldb api more general purpose with a few additional
lines of code.

Summary:
Adds a method that returns the score for the next level that most

Threads are put to sleep at the end of each stats interval until the score
is less than the limit. The limit is set via the --rate_limit=$double option.
The specified value must be > 1.0. Also adds the option --stats_per_interval
to enable additional metrics reported every stats interval.

e7206f43ee Improve statistics
Summary:
This adds more statistics to be reported by GetProperty("leveldb.stats").
The new stats include time spent waiting on stalls in MakeRoomForWrite.
This also includes the total amplification rate where that is:
    (#bytes of sequential IO during compaction) / (#bytes from Put)
This also includes a lot more data for the per-level compaction report.
* Rn(MB) - MB read from level N during compaction between levels N and N+1
* Rnp1(MB) - MB read from level N+1 during compaction between levels N and N+1
* Wnew(MB) - new data written to the level during compaction
* Amplify - ( Write(MB) + Rnp1(MB) ) / Rn(MB)
* Rn - files read from level N during compaction between levels N and N+1
* Rnp1 - files read from level N+1 during compaction between levels N and N+1
* Wnp1 - files written to level N+1 during compaction between levels N and N+1
* NewW - new files written to level N+1 during compaction
* Count - number of compactions done for this level

This is the new output from DB::GetProperty("leveldb.stats"). The old output stopped at Write(MB)

This patch allows compaction to occur in multiple background threads
concurrently.

If a manual compaction is issued, the system falls back to a
single-compaction-thread model. This is done to ensure correctess

the system resumes its concurrent-compaction mode automatically.

The updates to the manifest are done via group-commit approach.

24f7983b1f [tools] Add a tool to stress test concurrent writing to levelDB
Summary:
Created a tool that runs multiple threads that concurrently read and write to levelDB.
All writes to the DB are stored in an in-memory hashtable and verified at the end of the
test. All writes for a given key are serialzied.

Test Plan:
 - Verified by writing only a few keys and logging all writes and verifying that values read and written are correct.
 - Verified correctness of value generator.
 - Ran with various parameters of number of keys, locks, and threads.

f7975ac733 Implement RowLocks for assoc schema
Summary:
Each assoc is identified by (id1, assocType). This is the rowkey.
Each row has a read/write rowlock. There is statically allocated array
of 2000 read/write locks. A rowkey is murmur-hashed to one of the
read/write locks.

assocPut and assocDelete acquires the rowlock in Write mode.
The key-updates are done within the rowlock with a atomic nosync
batch write to leveldb. Then the rowlock is released and
a write-with-sync is done to sync leveldb transaction log.

Test Plan: added unit test

c1006d4276 An configurable option to write data using write instead of mmap.
Summary:
We have seen that reading data via the pread call (instead of
mmap) is much faster on Linux 2.6.x kernels. This patch makes
an equivalent option to switch off mmaps for the write path
as well.

db_bench --mmap_write=0 will use write() instead of mmap() to
write data to a file.

This change is backward compatible, the default
option is to continue using mmap for writing to a file.

Test Plan: "make check all"
