Summary:
https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/9984 changes the behavior of RocksDB: if logger creation failed during `SanitizeOptions()`,
`DB::Open()` will fail. However, since `SanitizeOptions()` is called in `DBImpl::DBImpl()`, we cannot
directly expose the error to caller without some additional work.
This is a first version proposal which:
- Adds a new member `init_logger_creation_s` to `DBImpl` to store the result of init logger creation
- Checks the error during `DB::Open()` and return it to caller if non-ok
This is not very ideal. We can alternatively move the logger creation logic out of the `SanitizeOptions()`.
Since `SanitizeOptions()` is used in other places, we need to check whether this change breaks anything
in case other callers of `SanitizeOptions()` assumes that a logger should be created.

Summary:
`FlushWAL(true /* sync */)` is used internally and for manual WAL sync. It had a bug when used together with `track_and_verify_wals_in_manifest` where the synced size tracked in MANIFEST was larger than the number of bytes actually synced.
The bug could be repro'd almost immediately with the following crash test command: `python3 tools/db_crashtest.py blackbox --simple --write_buffer_size=524288 --max_bytes_for_level_base=2097152 --target_file_size_base=524288 --duration=3600 --interval=10 --sync_fault_injection=1 --disable_wal=0 --checkpoint_one_in=1000 --max_key=10000 --value_size_mult=33`.
An example error message produced by the above command is shown below. The error sometimes arose from the checkpoint and other times arose from the main stress test DB.
```
Corruption: Size mismatch: WAL (log number: 119) in MANIFEST is 27938 bytes , but actually is 27859 bytes on disk.
```

Summary:
A consequence of https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/9990 was requiring a non-empty DB ID to generate
new SST files. But if the DB ID is not tracked in the manifest and the IDENTITY file
is somehow truncated to 0 bytes, then an empty DB ID would be assigned, leading
to crash. This change ensures a non-empty DB ID is assigned and set in the
IDENTITY file.
Also,
* Some light refactoring to clean up the logic
* (I/O efficiency) If the ID is tracked in the manifest and already matches the
IDENTITY file, don't needlessly overwrite the file.
* (Debugging) Log the DB ID to info log on open, because sometimes IDENTITY
can change if DB is moved around (though it would be unusual for info log to
be copied/moved without IDENTITY file)

Summary:
In RocksDB, keys are associated with (internal) sequence numbers which denote when the keys are written
to the database. Sequence numbers in different RocksDB instances are unrelated, thus not comparable.
It is nice if we can associate sequence numbers with their corresponding actual timestamps. One thing we can
do is to support user-defined timestamp, which allows the applications to specify the format of custom timestamps
and encode a timestamp with each key. More details can be found at https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/User-defined-Timestamp-%28Experimental%29.
This PR provides a different but complementary approach. We can associate rocksdb snapshots (defined in
https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/blob/7.2.fb/include/rocksdb/snapshot.h#L20) with **user-specified** timestamps.
Since a snapshot is essentially an object representing a sequence number, this PR establishes a bi-directional mapping between sequence numbers and timestamps.
In the past, snapshots are usually taken by readers. The current super-version is grabbed, and a `rocksdb::Snapshot`
object is created with the last published sequence number of the super-version. You can see that the reader actually
has no good idea of what timestamp to assign to this snapshot, because by the time the `GetSnapshot()` is called,
an arbitrarily long period of time may have already elapsed since the last write, which is when the last published
sequence number is written.
This observation motivates the creation of "timestamped" snapshots on the write path. Currently, this functionality is
exposed only to the layer of `TransactionDB`. Application can tell RocksDB to create a snapshot when a transaction
commits, effectively associating the last sequence number with a timestamp. It is also assumed that application will
ensure any two snapshots with timestamps should satisfy the following:
```
snapshot1.seq < snapshot2.seq iff. snapshot1.ts < snapshot2.ts
```
If the application can guarantee that when a reader takes a timestamped snapshot, there is no active writes going on
in the database, then we also allow the user to use a new API `TransactionDB::CreateTimestampedSnapshot()` to create
a snapshot with associated timestamp.
Code example
```cpp
// Create a timestamped snapshot when committing transaction.
txn->SetCommitTimestamp(100);
txn->SetSnapshotOnNextOperation();
txn->Commit();
// A wrapper API for convenience
Status Transaction::CommitAndTryCreateSnapshot(
std::shared_ptr<TransactionNotifier> notifier,
TxnTimestamp ts,
std::shared_ptr<const Snapshot>* ret);
// Create a timestamped snapshot if caller guarantees no concurrent writes
std::pair<Status, std::shared_ptr<const Snapshot>> snapshot = txn_db->CreateTimestampedSnapshot(100);
```
The snapshots created in this way will be managed by RocksDB with ref-counting and potentially shared with
other readers. We provide the following APIs for readers to retrieve a snapshot given a timestamp.
```cpp
// Return the timestamped snapshot correponding to given timestamp. If ts is
// kMaxTxnTimestamp, then we return the latest timestamped snapshot if present.
// Othersise, we return the snapshot whose timestamp is equal to `ts`. If no
// such snapshot exists, then we return null.
std::shared_ptr<const Snapshot> TransactionDB::GetTimestampedSnapshot(TxnTimestamp ts) const;
// Return the latest timestamped snapshot if present.
std::shared_ptr<const Snapshot> TransactionDB::GetLatestTimestampedSnapshot() const;
```
We also provide two additional APIs for stats collection and reporting purposes.
```cpp
Status TransactionDB::GetAllTimestampedSnapshots(
std::vector<std::shared_ptr<const Snapshot>>& snapshots) const;
// Return timestamped snapshots whose timestamps fall in [ts_lb, ts_ub) and store them in `snapshots`.
Status TransactionDB::GetTimestampedSnapshots(
TxnTimestamp ts_lb,
TxnTimestamp ts_ub,
std::vector<std::shared_ptr<const Snapshot>>& snapshots) const;
```
To prevent the number of timestamped snapshots from growing infinitely, we provide the following API to release
timestamped snapshots whose timestamps are older than or equal to a given threshold.
```cpp
void TransactionDB::ReleaseTimestampedSnapshotsOlderThan(TxnTimestamp ts);
```
Before shutdown, RocksDB will release all timestamped snapshots.
Comparison with user-defined timestamp and how they can be combined:
User-defined timestamp persists every key with a timestamp, while timestamped snapshots maintain a volatile
mapping between snapshots (sequence numbers) and timestamps.
Different internal keys with the same user key but different timestamps will be treated as different by compaction,
thus a newer version will not hide older versions (with smaller timestamps) unless they are eligible for garbage collection.
In contrast, taking a timestamped snapshot at a certain sequence number and timestamp prevents all the keys visible in
this snapshot from been dropped by compaction. Here, visible means (seq < snapshot and most recent).
The timestamped snapshot supports the semantics of reading at an exact point in time.
Timestamped snapshots can also be used with user-defined timestamp.

The default implementation of Close() function in Directory/FSDirectory classes returns `NotSupported` status. However, we don't want operations that worked in older versions to begin failing after upgrading when run on FileSystems that have not implemented Directory::Close() yet. So we require the upper level that calls Close() function should properly handle "NotSupported" status instead of treating it as an error status.

Changed Tests: The origin `DBTest2.PausingManualCompaction1` uses a callback function to increase `manual_compaction_paused` and the origin CompactionJob/CompactionIterator with `manual_compaction_paused` can detect this. I changed the callback function so that it sets `*canceled` as true if `canceled` is not `nullptr` (to notify CompactionJob/CompactionIterator the compaction has been canceled).

Summary:
In case of non-TransactionDB and avoid_flush_during_recovery = true, RocksDB won't
flush the data from WAL to L0 for all column families if possible. As a
result, not all column families can increase their log_numbers, and
min_log_number_to_keep won't change.
For transaction DB (.allow_2pc), even with the flush, there may be old WAL files that it must not delete because they can contain data of uncommitted transactions and min_log_number_to_keep won't change.
If we persist a new MANIFEST with
advanced log_numbers for some column families, then during a second
crash after persisting the MANIFEST, RocksDB will see some column
families' log_numbers larger than the corrupted wal, and the "column family inconsistency" error will be hit, causing recovery to fail.
As a solution, RocksDB will persist the new MANIFEST after successfully syncing the new WAL.
If a future recovery starts from the new MANIFEST, then it means the new WAL is successfully synced. Due to the sentinel empty write batch at the beginning, kPointInTimeRecovery of WAL is guaranteed to go after this point.
If future recovery starts from the old MANIFEST, it means the writing the new MANIFEST failed. We won't have the "SST ahead of WAL" error.
Currently, RocksDB DB::Open() may creates and writes to two new MANIFEST files even before recovery succeeds. This PR buffers the edits in a structure and writes to a new MANIFEST after recovery is successful

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/9686
According to https://www.cplusplus.com/reference/deque/deque/back/,
"
The container is accessed (neither the const nor the non-const versions modify the container).
The last element is potentially accessed or modified by the caller. Concurrently accessing or modifying other elements is safe.
"
Also according to https://www.cplusplus.com/reference/deque/deque/pop_front/,
"
The container is modified.
The first element is modified. Concurrently accessing or modifying other elements is safe (although see iterator validity above).
"
In RocksDB, we never pop the last element of `DBImpl::alive_log_files_`. We have been
exploiting this fact and the above two properties when ensuring correctness when
`DBImpl::alive_log_files_` may be accessed concurrently. Specifically, it can be accessed
in the write path when db mutex is released. Sometimes, the log_mute_ is held. It can also be accessed in `FindObsoleteFiles()`
when db mutex is always held. It can also be accessed
during recovery when db mutex is also held.
Given the fact that we never pop the last element of alive_log_files_, we currently do not
acquire additional locks when accessing it in `WriteToWAL()` as follows
```
alive_log_files_.back().AddSize(log_entry.size());
```
This is problematic.
Check source code of deque.h
```
back() _GLIBCXX_NOEXCEPT
{
__glibcxx_requires_nonempty();
...
}
pop_front() _GLIBCXX_NOEXCEPT
{
...
if (this->_M_impl._M_start._M_cur
!= this->_M_impl._M_start._M_last - 1)
{
...
++this->_M_impl._M_start._M_cur;
}
...
}
```
`back()` will actually call `__glibcxx_requires_nonempty()` first.
If `__glibcxx_requires_nonempty()` is enabled and not an empty macro,
it will call `empty()`
```
bool empty() {
return this->_M_impl._M_finish == this->_M_impl._M_start;
}
```
You can see that it will access `this->_M_impl._M_start`, racing with `pop_front()`.
Therefore, TSAN will actually catch the bug in this case.
To be able to use TSAN on our library and unit tests, we should always coordinate
concurrent accesses to STL containers properly.
We need to pass information about db mutex and log mutex into `WriteToWAL()`, otherwise
it's impossible to know which mutex to acquire inside the function.
To fix this, we can catch the tail of `alive_log_files_` by reference, so that we do not have to call `back()` in `WriteToWAL()`.

Summary:
We found a case of cacheline bouncing due to writers locking/unlocking `mutex_` and readers accessing `block_cache_tracer_`. We discovered it only after the issue was fixed by https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/9462 shifting the `DBImpl` members such that `mutex_` and `block_cache_tracer_` were naturally placed in separate cachelines in our regression testing setup. This PR forces the cacheline alignment of `mutex_` so we don't accidentally reintroduce the problem.

Summary:
The following sequence of events can cause silent data loss for write-committed
transactions.
```
Time thread 1 bg flush
| db->Put("a")
| txn = NewTxn()
| txn->Put("b", "v")
| txn->Prepare() // writes only to 5.log
| db->SwitchMemtable() // memtable 1 has "a"
| // close 5.log,
| // creates 8.log
| trigger flush
| pick memtable 1
| unlock db mutex
| write new sst
| txn->ctwb->Put("gtid", "1") // writes 8.log
| txn->Commit() // writes to 8.log
| // writes to memtable 2
| compute min_log_number_to_keep_2pc, this
| will be 8 (incorrect).
|
| Purge obsolete wals, including 5.log
|
V
```
At this point, writes of txn exists only in memtable. Close db without flush because db thinks the data in
memtable are backed by log. Then reopen, the writes are lost except key-value pair {"gtid"->"1"},
only the commit marker of txn is in 8.log
The reason lies in `PrecomputeMinLogNumberToKeep2PC()` which calls `FindMinPrepLogReferencedByMemTable()`.
In the above example, when bg flush thread tries to find obsolete wals, it uses the information
computed by `PrecomputeMinLogNumberToKeep2PC()`. The return value of `PrecomputeMinLogNumberToKeep2PC()`
depends on three components
- `PrecomputeMinLogNumberToKeepNon2PC()`. This represents the WAL that has unflushed data. As the name of this method suggests, it does not account for 2PC. Although the keys reside in the prepare section of a previous WAL, the column family references the current WAL when they are actually inserted into the memtable during txn commit.
- `prep_tracker->FindMinLogContainingOutstandingPrep()`. This represents the WAL with a prepare section but the txn hasn't committed.
- `FindMinPrepLogReferencedByMemTable()`. This represents the WAL on which some memtables (mutable and immutable) depend for their unflushed data.
The bug lies in `FindMinPrepLogReferencedByMemTable()`. Originally, this function skips checking the column families
that are being flushed, but the unit test added in this PR shows that they should not be. In this unit test, there is
only the default column family, and one of its memtables has unflushed data backed by a prepare section in 5.log.
We should return this information via `FindMinPrepLogReferencedByMemTable()`.

Summary:
ajkr reminded me that we have a rule of not including per-kv related data in `WriteOptions`.
Namely, `WriteOptions` should not include information about "what-to-write", but should just
include information about "how-to-write".
According to this rule, `WriteOptions::timestamp` (experimental) is clearly a violation. Therefore,
this PR removes `WriteOptions::timestamp` for compliance.
After the removal, we need to pass timestamp info via another set of APIs. This PR proposes a set
of overloaded functions `Put(write_opts, key, value, ts)`, `Delete(write_opts, key, ts)`, and
`SingleDelete(write_opts, key, ts)`. Planned to add `Write(write_opts, batch, ts)`, but its complexity
made me reconsider doing it in another PR (maybe).
For better checking and returning error early, we also add a new set of APIs to `WriteBatch` that take
extra `timestamp` information when writing to `WriteBatch`es.
These set of APIs in `WriteBatchWithIndex` are currently not supported, and are on our TODO list.
Removed `WriteBatch::AssignTimestamps()` and renamed `WriteBatch::AssignTimestamp()` to
`WriteBatch::UpdateTimestamps()` since this method require that all keys have space for timestamps
allocated already and multiple timestamps can be updated.
The constructor of `WriteBatch` now takes a fourth argument `default_cf_ts_sz` which is the timestamp
size of the default column family. This will be used to allocate space when calling APIs that do not
specify a column family handle.
Also, updated `DB::Get()`, `DB::MultiGet()`, `DB::NewIterator()`, `DB::NewIterators()` methods, replacing
some assertions about timestamp to returning Status code.

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.

This diff adds a new tag `CommitWithTimestamp`. Currently, there is no API to trigger writing

This is an ongoing effort to add user-defined timestamp support to write-committed transactions.
This diff also indicates all column families that may potentially participate in the same
transaction must either disable timestamp or have the same timestamp format, since
`CommitWithTimestamp` tag is followed by a single byte-array denoting the commit
timestamp of the transaction. We will enforce this checking in a future diff. We keep this

Here are 4 directory fsync cases:
1. creating a new file: dir-fsync is not needed on btrfs, as long as the
new file itself is synced.
2. renaming a file: dir-fsync is not needed if the renamed file is
synced. So an API `FsyncAfterFileRename(filename, ...)` is provided
to sync the file on btrfs. By default, it just calls dir-fsync.
3. deleting files: dir-fsync is forced by set
`IOOptions.force_dir_fsync = true`
4. renaming multiple files (like backup and checkpoint): dir-fsync is
forced, the same as above.

Summary:
New classes FileStorageInfo and LiveFileStorageInfo and
'experimental' function DB::GetLiveFilesStorageInfo, which is intended
to largely replace several fragmented DB functions needed to create
checkpoints and backups.
This function is now used to create checkpoints and backups, because
it fixes many (probably not all) of the prior complexities of checkpoint
not having atomic access to DB metadata. This also ensures strong
functional test coverage of the new API. Specifically, much of the old
CheckpointImpl::CreateCustomCheckpoint has been migrated to and
updated in DBImpl::GetLiveFilesStorageInfo, with the former now
calling the latter.
Also, the class FileStorageInfo in metadata.h compatibly replaces
BackupFileInfo and serves as a new base class for SstFileMetaData.
Some old fields of SstFileMetaData are still provided (for now) but
deprecated.
Although FileStorageInfo::directory is accurate when using db_paths
and/or cf_paths, these have never been supported by Checkpoint
nor BackupEngine and still are not. This change does now detect
these cases and return NotSupported when appropriate. (More work
needed for support.)
Somehow this change broke ProgressCallbackDuringBackup, but
the progress_callback logic was dubious to begin with because it
would call the callback based on copy buffer size, not size actually
copied. Logic and test updated to track size actually copied
per-thread.

Summary:
EndWriteStall has a data race: `queue_.empty()` is checked outside of the
mutex, so once we enter the critical section another thread may already have
cleared the list, and accessing the `front()` is undefined behavior (and causes
interesting crashes under high concurrency).
This PR fixes the bug, and also rewrites the logic to make it easier to reason
about it. It also fixes another subtle bug: if some writers are stalled and
`SetBufferSize(0)` is called, which disables the WBM, the writer are not
unblocked because of an early `enabled()` check in `EndWriteStall()`.
It doesn't significantly change the locking behavior, as before writers won't
lock unless entering a stall condition, and `FreeMem` almost always locks if
stalling is allowed, but that is inevitable with the current design. Liveness is
guaranteed by the fact that if some writes are blocked, eventually all writes
will be blocked due to `stall_active_`, and eventually all memory is freed.
While at it, do a couple of optimizations:
- In `WBMStallInterface::Signal()` signal the CV only after releasing the
lock. Signaling under the lock is a common pitfall, as it causes the woken-up
thread to immediately go back to sleep because the mutex is still locked by
the awaker.
- Move all allocations and deallocations outside of the lock.

Summary:
In https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/8454, I introduced a new process baptized `MemPurge` (memtable garbage collection). This new PR is built upon this past mempurge prototype.
In this PR, I made the `mempurge` process a background task, which provides superior performance since the mempurge process does not cling on the db_mutex anymore, and addresses severe restrictions from the past iteration (including a scenario where the past mempurge was failling, when a memtable was mempurged but was still referred to by an iterator/snapshot/...).
Now the mempurge process ressembles an in-memory compaction process: the stack of immutable memtables is filtered out, and the useful payload is used to populate an output memtable. If the output memtable is filled at more than 60% capacity (arbitrary heuristic) the mempurge process is aborted and a regular flush process takes place, else the output memtable is kept in the immutable memtable stack. Note that adding this output memtable to the `imm()` memtable stack does not trigger another flush process, so that the flush thread can go to sleep at the end of a successful mempurge.
MemPurge is activated by making the `experimental_allow_mempurge` flag `true`. When activated, the `MemPurge` process will always happen when the flush reason is `kWriteBufferFull`.
The 3 unit tests confirm that this process supports `Put`, `Get`, `Delete`, `DeleteRange` operators and is compatible with `Iterators` and `CompactionFilters`.
