Summary: This change improves the performance of iterators doing long range scans (e.g. big/full table scans in MyRocks) by using readahead and prefetching additional data on each disk IO. This prefetching is automatically enabled on noticing more than 2 IOs for the same table file during iteration. The readahead size starts with 8KB and is exponentially increased on each additional sequential IO, up to a max of 256 KB. This helps in cutting down the number of IOs needed to complete the range scan. Constraints: - The prefetched data is stored by the OS in page cache. So this currently works only for non direct-reads use-cases i.e applications which use page cache. (Direct-I/O support will be enabled in a later PR). - This gets currently enabled only when ReadOptions.readahead_size = 0 (which is the default value). Thanks to siying for the original idea and implementation. **Benchmarks:** Data fill: ``` TEST_TMPDIR=/data/users/$USER/benchmarks/iter ./db_bench -benchmarks=fillrandom -num=1000000000 -compression_type="none" -level_compaction_dynamic_level_bytes ``` Do a long range scan: Seekrandom with large number of nexts ``` TEST_TMPDIR=/data/users/$USER/benchmarks/iter ./db_bench -benchmarks=seekrandom -duration=60 -num=1000000000 -use_existing_db -seek_nexts=10000 -statistics -histogram ``` Page cache was cleared before each experiment with the command: ``` sudo sh -c "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" ``` ``` Before: seekrandom : 34020.945 micros/op 29 ops/sec; 32.5 MB/s (1636 of 1999 found) With this change: seekrandom : 8726.912 micros/op 114 ops/sec; 126.8 MB/s (5702 of 6999 found) ``` ~3.9X performance improvement. Also verified with strace and gdb that the readahead size is increasing as expected. ``` strace -e readahead -f -T -t -p <db_bench process pid> ``` Closes https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/3282 Differential Revision: D6586477 Pulled By: sagar0 fbshipit-source-id: 8a118a0ed4594fbb7f5b1cafb242d7a4033cb58c |

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.

The public interface is in include/. Callers should not include or

internal APIs may be changed without warning.
