Andrew Kryczka 62f70f6d14 Reduce scope of compression dictionary to single SST (#4952)
Summary:
Our previous approach was to train one compression dictionary per compaction, using the first output SST to train a dictionary, and then applying it on subsequent SSTs in the same compaction. While this was great for minimizing CPU/memory/I/O overhead, it did not achieve good compression ratios in practice. In our most promising potential use case, moderate reductions in a dictionary's scope make a major difference on compression ratio.

So, this PR changes compression dictionary to be scoped per-SST. It accepts the tradeoff during table building to use more memory and CPU. Important changes include:

- The `BlockBasedTableBuilder` has a new state when dictionary compression is in-use: `kBuffered`. In that state it accumulates uncompressed data in-memory whenever `Add` is called.
- After accumulating target file size bytes or calling `BlockBasedTableBuilder::Finish`, a `BlockBasedTableBuilder` moves to the `kUnbuffered` state. The transition (`EnterUnbuffered()`) involves sampling the buffered data, training a dictionary, and compressing/writing out all buffered data. In the `kUnbuffered` state, a `BlockBasedTableBuilder` behaves the same as before -- blocks are compressed/written out as soon as they fill up.
- Samples are now whole uncompressed data blocks, except the final sample may be a partial data block so we don't breach the user's configured `max_dict_bytes` or `zstd_max_train_bytes`. The dictionary trainer is supposed to work better when we pass it real units of compression. Previously we were passing 64-byte KV samples which was not realistic.

RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage

Linux/Mac Build Status Windows Build status PPC64le Build Status

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 specially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.

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.
