Peter Dillinger	60af964372	Experimental (production candidate) SST schema for Ribbon filter (#7658) ... Summary: Added experimental public API for Ribbon filter: NewExperimentalRibbonFilterPolicy(). This experimental API will take a "Bloom equivalent" bits per key, and configure the Ribbon filter for the same FP rate as Bloom would have but ~30% space savings. (Note: optimize_filters_for_memory is not yet implemented for Ribbon filter. That can be added with no effect on schema.) Internally, the Ribbon filter is configured using a "one_in_fp_rate" value, which is 1 over desired FP rate. For example, use 100 for 1% FP rate. I'm expecting this will be used in the future for configuring Bloom-like filters, as I expect people to more commonly hold constant the filter accuracy and change the space vs. time trade-off, rather than hold constant the space (per key) and change the accuracy vs. time trade-off, though we might make that available. ### Benchmarking ``` $ ./filter_bench -impl=2 -quick -m_keys_total_max=200 -average_keys_per_filter=100000 -net_includes_hashing Building...

The problem is that when many entries, on the order of number of hash bits or kCoeffBits, are associated with the same start location, the correlation between the CoeffRow and ResultRow (for efficiency) can lead to a solution that is "universal," or nearly so, for entries mapping to that start location. (Normally, variance in start location breaks the effective association between CoeffRow and ResultRow; the same value for CoeffRow is effectively different if start locations are different.) Without kUseSmash and with num_starts > 1 (thus num_starts ~= num_slots), this flaw should be completely irrelevant. Even with 10M slots, the chances of a single slot having just 16 (or more) entries map to it--not enough to cause an FP problem, which would be local to that slot if it happened--is 1 in millions. This spreadsheet formula shows that: =1/(10000000*(1 - POISSON(15, 1, TRUE))) As kUseSmash==false (the setting for Standard128RibbonBitsBuilder) is intended for CPU efficiency of filters with many more entries/slots than kCoeffBits, a very reasonable work-around is to disallow num_starts==1 when !kUseSmash, by making the minimum non-zero number of slots 2*kCoeffBits. This is the work-around I've applied. This also means that the new Ribbon filter schema (Standard128RibbonBitsBuilder) is not space-efficient for less than a few hundred entries. Because of this, I have made it fall back on constructing a Bloom filter, under existing schema, when that is more space efficient for small filters. (We can change this in the future if we want.) TODO: better unit tests for this case in ribbon_test, and probably update StandardHasher for kUseSmash case so that it can scale nicely to small filters. ### Other related changes * Add Ribbon filter to stress/crash test * Add Ribbon filter to filter_bench as -impl=3 * Add option string support, as in "filter_policy=experimental_ribbon:5.678;" where 5.678 is the Bloom equivalent bits per key. * Rename internal mode BloomFilterPolicy::kAuto to kAutoBloom * Add a general BuiltinFilterBitsBuilder::CalculateNumEntry based on binary searching CalculateSpace (inefficient), so that subclasses (especially experimental ones) don't have to provide an efficient implementation inverting CalculateSpace. * Minor refactor FastLocalBloomBitsBuilder for new base class XXH3pFilterBitsBuilder shared with new Standard128RibbonBitsBuilder, which allows the latter to fall back on Bloom construction in some extreme cases. * Mostly updated bloom_test for Ribbon filter, though a test like FullBloomTest::Schema is a next TODO to ensure schema stability (in case this becomes production-ready schema as it is). * Add some APIs to ribbon_impl.h for configuring Ribbon filters. Although these are reasonably covered by bloom_test, TODO more unit tests in ribbon_test * Added a "tool" FindOccupancyForSuccessRate to ribbon_test to get data for constructing the linear approximations in GetNumSlotsFor95PctSuccess. Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/7658 Test Plan: Some unit tests updated but other testing is left TODO. This is considered experimental but laying down schema compatibility as early as possible in case it proves production-quality. Also tested in stress/crash test.

Peter Dillinger	8b8a2e9f05	Ribbon: major re-work of hashing, seeds, and more (#7635) ... Summary: * Fully optimized StandardHasher, in terms of efficiently generating Start, CoeffRow, and ResultRow from a stock hash value, with sufficient independence between them to have no measurably degraded behavior. (Degraded behavior would be an FP rate higher than explainable by 2^-b and, if using a 32-bit stock hash function, expected stock hash collisions.) Details in code comments. * Our standard 64-bit and 32-bit hash functions do not exhibit sufficient independence on sequential seeds (for one Ribbon construction attempt to have independent probability from the next). I have worked around this in the Ribbon code by "pre-mixing" "ordinal seeds," sequentially tried and appropriate for storage in persisted metadata, into "raw seeds," ready for application and appropriate for in-memory storage. This way the pre-mixing step (though fast) is only applied on loading or configuring the structure, not on each query or banding add. * Fix a subtle flaw in which backtracking not clearing ResultRow data could lead to elevated FP rate on keys that were backtracked on and should (for generality) exhibit the same FP rate as novel keys. * Added a basic test for PhsfQuery and construction algorithms (map or "retrieval structure" rather than set or filter), and made a few trivial related fixes. * Better random configuration generation in unit tests * Some other minor cleanup / clarification / etc. Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/7635 Test Plan: unit tests included Reviewed By: jay-zhuang Differential Revision: D24738978 Pulled By: pdillinger fbshipit-source-id: f9d03599d9e2ca3e30e9d3e7d81cd936b56f76f0	4 years ago

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.
