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	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.

Peter Dillinger	a8b3b9a20c	Refine Ribbon configuration, improve testing, add Homogeneous (#7879) ... Summary: This change only affects non-schema-critical aspects of the production candidate Ribbon filter. Specifically, it refines choice of internal configuration parameters based on inputs. The changes are minor enough that the schema tests in bloom_test, some of which depend on this, are unaffected. There are also some minor optimizations and refactorings. This would be a schema change for "smash" Ribbon, to fix some known issues with small filters, but "smash" Ribbon is not accessible in public APIs. Unit test CompactnessAndBacktrackAndFpRate updated to test small and medium-large filters. Run with --thoroughness=100 or so for much better detection power (not appropriate for continuous regression testing). Homogenous Ribbon: This change adds internally a Ribbon filter variant we call Homogeneous Ribbon, in collaboration with Stefan Walzer. The expected "result" value for every key is zero, instead of computed from a hash. Entropy for queries not to be false positives comes from free variables ("overhead") in the solution structure, which are populated pseudorandomly. Construction is slightly faster for not tracking result values, and never fails. Instead, FP rate can jump up whenever and whereever entries are packed too tightly. For small structures, we can choose overhead to make this FP rate jump unlikely, as seen in updated unit test CompactnessAndBacktrackAndFpRate. Unlike standard Ribbon, Homogeneous Ribbon seems to scale to arbitrary number of keys when accepting an FP rate penalty for small pockets of high FP rate in the structure. For example, 64-bit ribbon with 8 solution columns and 10% allocated space overhead for slots seems to achieve about 10.5% space overhead vs. information-theoretic minimum based on its observed FP rate with expected pockets of degradation. (FP rate is close to 1/256.) If targeting a higher FP rate with fewer solution columns, Homogeneous Ribbon can be even more space efficient, because the penalty from degradation is relatively smaller. If targeting a lower FP rate, Homogeneous Ribbon is less space efficient, as more allocated overhead is needed to keep the FP rate impact of degradation relatively under control. The new OptimizeHomogAtScale tool in ribbon_test helps to find these optimal allocation overheads for different numbers of solution columns. And Ribbon widths, with 128-bit Ribbon apparently cutting space overheads in half vs. 64-bit. Other misc item specifics: * Ribbon APIs in util/ribbon_config.h now provide configuration data for not just 5% construction failure rate (95% success), but also 50% and 0.1%. * Note that the Ribbon structure does not exhibit "threshold" behavior as standard Xor filter does, so there is a roughly fixed space penalty to cut construction failure rate in half. Thus, there isn't really an "almost sure" setting. * Although we can extrapolate settings for large filters, we don't have a good formula for configuring smaller filters (< 2^17 slots or so), and efforts to summarize with a formula have failed. Thus, small data is hard-coded from updated FindOccupancy tool. * Enhances ApproximateNumEntries for public API Ribbon using more precise data (new API GetNumToAdd), thus a more accurate but not perfect reversal of CalculateSpace. (bloom_test updated to expect the greater precision) * Move EndianSwapValue from coding.h to coding_lean.h to keep Ribbon code easily transferable from RocksDB * Add some missing 'const' to member functions * Small optimization to 128-bit BitParity * Small refactoring of BandingStorage in ribbon_alg.h to support Homogeneous Ribbon * CompactnessAndBacktrackAndFpRate now has an "expand" test: on construction failure, a possible alternative to re-seeding hash functions is simply to increase the number of slots (allocated space overhead) and try again with essentially the same hash values. (Start locations will be different roundings of the same scaled hash values--because fastrange not mod.) This seems to be as effective or more effective than re-seeding, as long as we increase the number of slots (m) by roughly m += m/w where w is the Ribbon width. This way, there is effectively an expansion by one slot for each ribbon-width window in the banding. (This approach assumes that getting "bad data" from your hash function is as unlikely as it naturally should be, e.g. no adversary.) * 32-bit and 16-bit Ribbon configurations are added to ribbon_test for understanding their behavior, e.g. with FindOccupancy. They are not considered useful at this time and not tested with CompactnessAndBacktrackAndFpRate.

Peter Dillinger	25d54c799c	Ribbon: initial (general) algorithms and basic unit test (#7491) ... Summary: This is intended as the first commit toward a near-optimal alternative to static Bloom filters for SSTs. Stephan Walzer and I have agreed upon the name "Ribbon" for a PHSF based on his linear system construction in "Efficient Gauss Elimination for Near-Quadratic Matrices with One Short Random Block per Row, with Applications" ("SGauss") and my much faster "on the fly" algorithm for gaussian elimination (or for this linear system, "banding"), which can be faster than peeling while also more compact and flexible. See util/ribbon_alg.h for more detailed introduction and background. RIBBON = Rapid Incremental Boolean Banding ON-the-fly This commit just adds generic (templatized) core algorithms and a basic unit test showing some features, including the ability to construct structures within 2.5% space overhead vs. information theoretic lower bound. (Compare to cache-local Bloom filter's ~50% space overhead -> ~30% reduction anticipated.) This commit does not include the storage scheme necessary to make queries fast, especially for filter queries, nor fractional "result bits", but there is some description already and those implementations will come soon. Nor does this commit add FilterPolicy support, for use in SST files, but that will also come soon.
