Summary: The patch reorders DBIter fields to put 1-byte fields together and let the compiler optimize the memory usage by using less 64-bit allocations for bools and enums. This might have a negative side effect of putting the variables that are accessed together into different cache lines and hence increasing the cache misses. Not sure what benchmark would verify that thought. I ran simple, single-threaded seekrandom benchmarks but the variance in the results is too much to be conclusive. ./db_bench --benchmarks=fillrandom --use_existing_db=0 --num=1000000 --db=/dev/shm/dbbench ./db_bench --benchmarks=seekrandom[X10] --use_existing_db=1 --db=/dev/shm/dbbench --num=1000000 --duration=60 --seek_nexts=100 Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/5078 Differential Revision: D14562676 Pulled By: maysamyabandeh fbshipit-source-id: 2284655d46e079b6e9a860e94be5defb6f482167
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 specially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.
