Peter Dillinger 8aa99fc71e Warn on excessive keys for legacy Bloom filter with 32-bit hash (#6317)
Summary:
With many millions of keys, the old Bloom filter implementation
for the block-based table (format_version <= 4) would have excessive FP
rate due to the limitations of feeding the Bloom filter with a 32-bit hash.
This change computes an estimated inflated FP rate due to this effect
and warns in the log whenever an SST filter is constructed (almost
certainly a "full" not "partitioned" filter) that exceeds 1.5x FP rate
due to this effect. The detailed condition is only checked if 3 million
keys or more have been added to a filter, as this should be a lower
bound for common bits/key settings (< 20).

Recommended remedies include smaller SST file size, using
format_version >= 5 (for new Bloom filter), or using partitioned
filters.

This does not change behavior other than generating warnings for some
constructed filters using the old implementation.

Test Plan:
Example with warning, 15M keys @ 15 bits / key: (working_mem_size_mb is just to stop after building one filter if it's large)

    $ ./filter_bench -quick -impl=0 -working_mem_size_mb=1 -bits_per_key=15 -average_keys_per_filter=15000000 2>&1 | grep 'FP rate'
    [WARN] [/block_based/filter_policy.cc:292] Using legacy SST/BBT Bloom filter with excessive key count (15.0M @ 15bpk), causing estimated 1.8x higher filter FP rate. Consider using new Bloom with format_version>=5, smaller SST file size, or partitioned filters.
    Predicted FP rate %: 0.766702
    Average FP rate %: 0.66846

Example without warning (150K keys):

    $ ./filter_bench -quick -impl=0 -working_mem_size_mb=1 -bits_per_key=15 -average_keys_per_filter=150000 2>&1 | grep 'FP rate'
    Predicted FP rate %: 0.422857
    Average FP rate %: 0.379301
    $

With more samples at 15 bits/key:
  150K keys -> no warning; actual: 0.379% FP rate (baseline)
  1M keys -> no warning; actual: 0.396% FP rate, 1.045x
  9M keys -> no warning; actual: 0.563% FP rate, 1.485x
  10M keys -> warning (1.5x); actual: 0.564% FP rate, 1.488x
  15M keys -> warning (1.8x); actual: 0.668% FP rate, 1.76x
  25M keys -> warning (2.4x); actual: 0.880% FP rate, 2.32x

At 10 bits/key:
  150K keys -> no warning; actual: 1.17% FP rate (baseline)
  1M keys -> no warning; actual: 1.16% FP rate
  10M keys -> no warning; actual: 1.32% FP rate, 1.13x
  25M keys -> no warning; actual: 1.63% FP rate, 1.39x
  35M keys -> warning (1.6x); actual: 1.81% FP rate, 1.55x

At 5 bits/key:
  150K keys -> no warning; actual: 9.32% FP rate (baseline)
  25M keys -> no warning; actual: 9.62% FP rate, 1.03x
  200M keys -> no warning; actual: 12.2% FP rate, 1.31x
  250M keys -> warning (1.5x); actual: 12.8% FP rate, 1.37x
  300M keys -> warning (1.6x); actual: 13.4% FP rate, 1.43x

The reason for the modest inaccuracy at low bits/key is that the assumption of independence between a collision between 32-hash values feeding the filter and an FP in the filter is not quite true for implementations using "simple" logic to compute indices from the stock hash result. There's math on this in my dissertation, but I don't think it's worth the effort just for these extreme cases (> 100 million keys and low-ish bits/key).

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 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/
