Peter Dillinger	ef443cead4	Refactor to avoid confusing "raw block" (#10408) ... Summary: We have a lot of confusing code because of mixed, sometimes completely opposite uses of of the term "raw block" or "raw contents", sometimes within the same source file. For example, in `BlockBasedTableBuilder`, `raw_block_contents` and `raw_size` generally referred to uncompressed block contents and size, while `WriteRawBlock` referred to writing a block that is already compressed if it is going to be. Meanwhile, in `BlockBasedTable`, `raw_block_contents` either referred to a (maybe compressed) block with trailer, or a maybe compressed block maybe without trailer. (Note: left as follow-up work to use C++ typing to better sort out the various kinds of BlockContents.) This change primarily tries to apply some consistent terminology around the kinds of block representations, avoiding the unclear "raw". (Any meaning of "raw" assumes some bias toward the storage layer or toward the logical data layer.) Preferred terminology: * **Serialized block** - bytes that go into storage. For block-based table (usually the case) this includes the block trailer. WART: block `size` may or may not include the trailer; need to be clear about whether it does or not. * **Maybe compressed block** - like a serialized block, but without the trailer (or no promise of including a trailer). Must be accompanied by a CompressionType. * **Uncompressed block** - "payload" bytes that are either stored with no compression, used as input to compression function, or result of decompression function. * **Parsed block** - an in-memory form of a block in block cache, as it is used by the table reader. Different C++ types are used depending on the block type (see block_like_traits.h). Other refactorings: * Misc corrections/improvements of internal API comments * Remove a few misleading / unhelpful / redundant comments. * Use move semantics in some places to simplify contracts * Use better parameter names to indicate which parameters are used for outputs * Remove some extraneous `extern` * Various clean-ups to `CacheDumperImpl` (mostly unnecessary code) Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/10408 Test Plan: existing tests Reviewed By: akankshamahajan15 Differential Revision: D38172617 Pulled By: pdillinger fbshipit-source-id: ccb99299f324ac5ca46996d34c5089621a4f260c	2 years ago
Peter Dillinger	86a1e3e0e7	Derive cache keys from SST unique IDs (#10394) ... Summary: ... so that cache keys can be derived from DB manifest data before reading the file from storage--so that every part of the file can potentially go in a persistent cache. See updated comments in cache_key.cc for technical details. Importantly, the new cache key encoding uses some fancy but efficient math to pack data into the cache key without depending on the sizes of the various pieces. This simplifies some existing code creating cache keys, like cache warming before the file size is known. This should provide us an essentially permanent mapping between SST unique IDs and base cache keys, with the ability to "upgrade" SST unique IDs (and thus cache keys) with new SST format_versions. These cache keys are of similar, perhaps indistinguishable quality to the previous generation. Before this change (see "corrected" days between collision): ``` ./cache_bench -stress_cache_key -sck_keep_bits=43 18 collisions after 2 x 90 days, est 10 days between (1.15292e+19 corrected) ``` After this change (keep 43 bits, up through 50, to validate "trajectory" is ok on "corrected" days between collision): ``` 19 collisions after 3 x 90 days, est 14.2105 days between (1.63836e+19 corrected) 16 collisions after 5 x 90 days, est 28.125 days between (1.6213e+19 corrected) 15 collisions after 7 x 90 days, est 42 days between (1.21057e+19 corrected) 15 collisions after 17 x 90 days, est 102 days between (1.46997e+19 corrected) 15 collisions after 49 x 90 days, est 294 days between (2.11849e+19 corrected) 15 collisions after 62 x 90 days, est 372 days between (1.34027e+19 corrected) 15 collisions after 53 x 90 days, est 318 days between (5.72858e+18 corrected) 15 collisions after 309 x 90 days, est 1854 days between (1.66994e+19 corrected) ``` However, the change does modify (probably weaken) the "guaranteed unique" promise from this > SST files generated in a single process are guaranteed to have unique cache keys, unless/until number session ids * max file number = 2**86 to this (see https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/10388) > With the DB id limitation, we only have nice guaranteed unique cache keys for files generated in a single process until biggest session_id_counter and offset_in_file reach combined 64 bits I don't think this is a practical concern, though.

Peter Dillinger	126c223714	Remove deprecated block-based filter (#10184) ... Summary: In https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/9535, release 7.0, we hid the old block-based filter from being created using the public API, because of its inefficiency. Although we normally maintain read compatibility on old DBs forever, filters are not required for reading a DB, only for optimizing read performance. Thus, it should be acceptable to remove this code and the substantial maintenance burden it carries as useful features are developed and validated (such as user timestamp). This change completely removes the code for reading and writing the old block-based filters, net removing about 1370 lines of code no longer needed. Options removed from testing / benchmarking tools. The prior existence is only evident in a couple of places: * `CacheEntryRole::kDeprecatedFilterBlock` - We can update this public API enum in a major release to minimize source code incompatibilities. * A warning is logged when an old table file is opened that used the old block-based filter. This is provided as a courtesy, and would be a pain to unit test, so manual testing should suffice. Unfortunately, sst_dump does not tell you whether a file uses block-based filter, and the structure of the code makes it very difficult to fix. * To detect that case, `kObsoleteFilterBlockPrefix` (renamed from `kFilterBlockPrefix`) for metaindex is maintained (for now). Other notes: * In some cases where numbers are associated with filter configurations, we have had to update the assigned numbers so that they all correspond to something that exists. * Fixed potential stat counting bug by assuming `filter_checked = false` for cases like `filter == nullptr` rather than assuming `filter_checked = true` * Removed obsolete `block_offset` and `prefix_extractor` parameters from several functions. * Removed some unnecessary checks `if (!table_prefix_extractor() && !prefix_extractor)` because the caller guarantees the prefix extractor exists and is compatible Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/10184 Test Plan: tests updated, manually test new warning in LOG using base version to generate a DB Reviewed By: riversand963 Differential Revision: D37212647 Pulled By: pdillinger fbshipit-source-id: 06ee020d8de3b81260ffc36ad0c1202cbf463a80	3 years ago
Peter Dillinger	4f78f9699b	Refactor: Add BlockTypes to make them imply C++ type in block cache (#10098) ... Summary: We have three related concepts: * BlockType: an internal enum conceptually indicating a type of SST file block * CacheEntryRole: a user-facing enum for categorizing block cache entries, which is also involved in associated cache entries with an appropriate deleter. Can include categories for non-block cache entries (e.g. memory reservations). * TBlocklike: a C++ type for the actual type behind a void* cache entry. We had some existing code ugliness because BlockType did not imply TBlocklike, because of various kinds of "filter" block. This refactoring fixes that with new BlockTypes. More clean-up can come in later work.

Peter Dillinger	0050a73a4f	New stable, fixed-length cache keys (#9126) ... Summary: This change standardizes on a new 16-byte cache key format for block cache (incl compressed and secondary) and persistent cache (but not table cache and row cache). The goal is a really fast cache key with practically ideal stability and uniqueness properties without external dependencies (e.g. from FileSystem). A fixed key size of 16 bytes should enable future optimizations to the concurrent hash table for block cache, which is a heavy CPU user / bottleneck, but there appears to be measurable performance improvement even with no changes to LRUCache. This change replaces a lot of disjointed and ugly code handling cache keys with calls to a simple, clean new internal API (cache_key.h). (Preserving the old cache key logic under an option would be very ugly and likely negate the performance gain of the new approach. Complete replacement carries some inherent risk, but I think that's acceptable with sufficient analysis and testing.) The scheme for encoding new cache keys is complicated but explained in cache_key.cc. Also: EndianSwapValue is moved to math.h to be next to other bit operations. (Explains some new include "math.h".) ReverseBits operation added and unit tests added to hash_test for both. Fixes https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/7405 (presuming a root cause) Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/9126 Test Plan: ### Basic correctness Several tests needed updates to work with the new functionality, mostly because we are no longer relying on filesystem for stable cache keys so table builders & readers need more context info to agree on cache keys. This functionality is so core, a huge number of existing tests exercise the cache key functionality. ### Performance Create db with `TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm ./db_bench -bloom_bits=10 -benchmarks=fillrandom -num=3000000 -partition_index_and_filters` And test performance with `TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm ./db_bench -readonly -use_existing_db -bloom_bits=10 -benchmarks=readrandom -num=3000000 -duration=30 -cache_index_and_filter_blocks -cache_size=250000 -threads=4` using DEBUG_LEVEL=0 and simultaneous before & after runs. Before ops/sec, avg over 100 runs: 121924 After ops/sec, avg over 100 runs: 125385 (+2.8%) ### Collision probability I have built a tool, ./cache_bench -stress_cache_key to broadly simulate host-wide cache activity over many months, by making some pessimistic simplifying assumptions: * Every generated file has a cache entry for every byte offset in the file (contiguous range of cache keys) * All of every file is cached for its entire lifetime We use a simple table with skewed address assignment and replacement on address collision to simulate files coming & going, with quite a variance (super-Poisson) in ages. Some output with `./cache_bench -stress_cache_key -sck_keep_bits=40`: ``` Total cache or DBs size: 32TiB Writing 925.926 MiB/s or 76.2939TiB/day Multiply by 9.22337e+18 to correct for simulation losses (but still assume whole file cached) ``` These come from default settings of 2.5M files per day of 32 MB each, and `-sck_keep_bits=40` means that to represent a single file, we are only keeping 40 bits of the 128-bit cache key. With file size of 2\*\*25 contiguous keys (pessimistic), our simulation is about 2\*\*(128-40-25) or about 9 billion billion times more prone to collision than reality. More default assumptions, relatively pessimistic: * 100 DBs in same process (doesn't matter much) * Re-open DB in same process (new session ID related to old session ID) on average every 100 files generated * Restart process (all new session IDs unrelated to old) 24 times per day After enough data, we get a result at the end: ``` (keep 40 bits) 17 collisions after 2 x 90 days, est 10.5882 days between (9.76592e+19 corrected) ``` If we believe the (pessimistic) simulation and the mathematical generalization, we would need to run a billion machines all for 97 billion days to expect a cache key collision. To help verify that our generalization ("corrected") is robust, we can make our simulation more precise with `-sck_keep_bits=41` and `42`, which takes more running time to get enough data: ``` (keep 41 bits) 16 collisions after 4 x 90 days, est 22.5 days between (1.03763e+20 corrected) (keep 42 bits) 19 collisions after 10 x 90 days, est 47.3684 days between (1.09224e+20 corrected) ``` The generalized prediction still holds. With the `-sck_randomize` option, we can see that we are beating "random" cache keys (except offsets still non-randomized) by a modest amount (roughly 20x less collision prone than random), which should make us reasonably comfortable even in "degenerate" cases: ``` 197 collisions after 1 x 90 days, est 0.456853 days between (4.21372e+18 corrected) ``` I've run other tests to validate other conditions behave as expected, never behaving "worse than random" unless we start chopping off structured data.

Zhichao Cao	699f45049d	Introduce a mechanism to dump out blocks from block cache and re-insert to secondary cache (#8912) ... Summary: Background: Cache warming up will cause potential read performance degradation due to reading blocks from storage to the block cache. Since in production, the workload and access pattern to a certain DB is stable, it is a potential solution to dump out the blocks belonging to a certain DB to persist storage (e.g., to a file) and bulk-load the blocks to Secondary cache before the DB is relaunched. For example, when migrating a DB form host A to host B, it will take a short period of time, the access pattern to blocks in the block cache will not change much. It is efficient to dump out the blocks of certain DB, migrate to the destination host and insert them to the Secondary cache before we relaunch the DB. Design: we introduce the interface of CacheDumpWriter and CacheDumpRead for user to store the blocks dumped out from block cache. RocksDB will encode all the information and send the string to the writer. User can implement their own writer it they want. CacheDumper and CacheLoad are introduced to save the blocks and load the blocks respectively.
