Summary:
New experimental option BBTO::optimize_filters_for_memory builds
filters that maximize their use of "usable size" from malloc_usable_size,
which is also used to compute block cache charges.
Rather than always "rounding up," we track state in the
BloomFilterPolicy object to mix essentially "rounding down" and
"rounding up" so that the average FP rate of all generated filters is
the same as without the option. (YMMV as heavily accessed filters might
be unluckily lower accuracy.)
Thus, the option near-minimizes what the block cache considers as
"memory used" for a given target Bloom filter false positive rate and
Bloom filter implementation. There are no forward or backward
compatibility issues with this change, though it only works on the
format_version=5 Bloom filter.
With Jemalloc, we see about 10% reduction in memory footprint (and block
cache charge) for Bloom filters, but 1-2% increase in storage footprint,
due to encoding efficiency losses (FP rate is non-linear with bits/key).
Why not weighted random round up/down rather than state tracking? By
only requiring malloc_usable_size, we don't actually know what the next
larger and next smaller usable sizes for the allocator are. We pick a
requested size, accept and use whatever usable size it has, and use the
difference to inform our next choice. This allows us to narrow in on the
right balance without tracking/predicting usable sizes.
Why not weight history of generated filter false positive rates by
number of keys? This could lead to excess skew in small filters after
generating a large filter.

(Due to specific key density, this example tends to generate filters that are "worse than average" for internal fragmentation. "Better than average" cases can show little or no improvement.)

RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage
RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team. It is built on earlier work on LevelDB by Sanjay Ghemawat (sanjay@google.com) and Jeff Dean (jeff@google.com)
This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast key-value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives. It has a Log-Structured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs between Write-Amplification-Factor (WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF) and Space-Amplification-Factor (SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions, making it especially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.
Start with example usage here: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/tree/master/examples
See the github wiki for more explanation.
The public interface is in include/. Callers should not include or
rely on the details of any other header files in this package. Those
internal APIs may be changed without warning.
Design discussions are conducted in https://www.facebook.com/groups/rocksdb.dev/ and https://rocksdb.slack.com/
