Peter Dillinger	204fcff751	HyperClockCache support for SecondaryCache, with refactoring (#11301) ... Summary: Internally refactors SecondaryCache integration out of LRUCache specifically and into a wrapper/adapter class that works with various Cache implementations. Notably, this relies on separating the notion of async lookup handles from other cache handles, so that HyperClockCache doesn't have to deal with the problem of allocating handles from the hash table for lookups that might fail anyway, and might be on the same key without support for coalescing. (LRUCache's hash table can incorporate previously allocated handles thanks to its pointer indirection.) Specifically, I'm worried about the case in which hundreds of threads try to access the same block and probing in the hash table degrades to linear search on the pile of entries with the same key. This change is a big step in the direction of supporting stacked SecondaryCaches, but there are obstacles to completing that. Especially, there is no SecondaryCache hook for evictions to pass from one to the next. It has been proposed that evictions be transmitted simply as the persisted data (as in SaveToCallback), but given the current structure provided by the CacheItemHelpers, that would require an extra copy of the block data, because there's intentionally no way to ask for a contiguous Slice of the data (to allow for flexibility in storage). `AsyncLookupHandle` and the re-worked `WaitAll()` should be essentially prepared for stacked SecondaryCaches, but several "TODO with stacked secondaries" issues remain in various places. It could be argued that the stacking instead be done as a SecondaryCache adapter that wraps two (or more) SecondaryCaches, but at least with the current API that would require an extra heap allocation on SecondaryCache Lookup for a wrapper SecondaryCacheResultHandle that can transfer a Lookup between secondaries. We could also consider trying to unify the Cache and SecondaryCache APIs, though that might be difficult if `AsyncLookupHandle` is kept a fixed struct. ## cache.h (public API) Moves `secondary_cache` option from LRUCacheOptions to ShardedCacheOptions so that it is applicable to HyperClockCache. ## advanced_cache.h (advanced public API) * Add `Cache::CreateStandalone()` so that the SecondaryCache support wrapper can use it. * Add `SetEvictionCallback()` / `eviction_callback_` so that the SecondaryCache support wrapper can use it. Only a single callback is supported for efficiency. If there is ever a need for more than one, hopefully that can be handled with a broadcast callback wrapper. These are essentially the two "extra" pieces of `Cache` for pulling out specific SecondaryCache support from the `Cache` implementation. I think it's a good trade-off as these are reasonable, limited, and reusable "cut points" into the `Cache` implementations. * Remove async capability from standard `Lookup()` (getting rid of awkward restrictions on pending Handles) and add `AsyncLookupHandle` and `StartAsyncLookup()`. As noted in the comments, the full struct of `AsyncLookupHandle` is exposed so that it can be stack allocated, for efficiency, though more data is being copied around than before, which could impact performance. (Lookup info -> AsyncLookupHandle -> Handle vs. Lookup info -> Handle) I could foresee a future in which a Cache internally saves a pointer to the AsyncLookupHandle, which means it's dangerous to allow it to be copyable or even movable. It also means it's not compatible with std::vector (which I don't like requiring as an API parameter anyway), so `WaitAll()` expects any contiguous array of AsyncLookupHandles. I believe this is best for common case efficiency, while behaving well in other cases also. For example, `WaitAll()` has no effect on default-constructed AsyncLookupHandles, which look like a completed cache miss. ## cacheable_entry.h A couple of functions are obsolete because Cache::Handle can no longer be pending. ## cache.cc Provides default implementations for new or revamped Cache functions, especially appropriate for non-blocking caches. ## secondary_cache_adapter.{h,cc} The full details of the Cache wrapper adding SecondaryCache support. Essentially replicates the SecondaryCache handling that was in LRUCache, but obviously refactored. There is a bit of logic duplication, where Lookup() is essentially a manually optimized version of StartAsyncLookup() and Wait(), but it's roughly a dozen lines of code. ## sharded_cache.h, typed_cache.h, charged_cache.{h,cc}, sim_cache.cc Simply updated for Cache API changes. ## lru_cache.{h,cc} Carefully remove SecondaryCache logic, implement `CreateStandalone` and eviction handler functionality. ## clock_cache.{h,cc} Expose existing `CreateStandalone` functionality, add eviction handler functionality. Light refactoring. ## block_based_table_reader* Mostly re-worked the only usage of async Lookup, which is in BlockBasedTable::MultiGet. Used arrays in place of autovector in some places for efficiency. Simplified some logic by not trying to process some cache results before they're all ready. Created new function `BlockBasedTable::GetCachePriority()` to reduce some pre-existing code duplication (and avoid making it worse). Fixed at least one small bug from the prior confusing mixture of async and sync Lookups. In MaybeReadBlockAndLoadToCache(), called by RetrieveBlock(), called by MultiGet() with wait=false, is_cache_hit for the block_cache_tracer entry would not be set to true if the handle was pending after Lookup and before Wait. ## Intended follow-up work * Figure out if there are any missing stats or block_cache_tracer work in refactored BlockBasedTable::MultiGet * Stacked secondary caches (see above discussion) * See if we can make up for the small MultiGet performance regression. * Study more performance with SecondaryCache * Items evicted from over-full LRUCache in Release were not being demoted to SecondaryCache, and still aren't to minimize unit test churn. Ideally they would be demoted, but it's an exceptional case so not a big deal. * Use CreateStandalone for cache reservations (save unnecessary hash table operations). Not a big deal, but worthy cleanup. * Somehow I got the contract for SecondaryCache::Insert wrong in #10945. (Doesn't take ownership!) That API comment needs to be fixed, but didn't want to mingle that in here. Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/11301 Test Plan: ## Unit tests Generally updated to include HCC in SecondaryCache tests, though HyperClockCache has some different, less strict behaviors that leads to some tests not really being set up to work with it. Some of the tests remain disabled with it, but I think we have good coverage without them. ## Crash/stress test Updated to use the new combination. ## Performance First, let's check for regression on caches without secondary cache configured. Adding support for the eviction callback is likely to have a tiny effect, but it shouldn't be worrisome. LRUCache could benefit slightly from less logic around SecondaryCache handling. We can test with cache_bench default settings, built with DEBUG_LEVEL=0 and PORTABLE=0. ``` (while :; do base/cache_bench --cache_type=hyper_clock_cache | grep Rough; done) | awk '{ sum += $9; count++; print $0; print "Average: " int(sum / count) }' ``` **Before** this and #11299 (which could also have a small effect), running for about an hour, before & after running concurrently for each cache type: HyperClockCache: 3168662 (average parallel ops/sec) LRUCache: 2940127 **After** this and #11299, running for about an hour: HyperClockCache: 3164862 (average parallel ops/sec) (0.12% slower) LRUCache: 2940928 (0.03% faster) This is an acceptable difference IMHO. Next, let's consider essentially the worst case of new CPU overhead affecting overall performance. MultiGet uses the async lookup interface regardless of whether SecondaryCache or folly are used. We can configure a benchmark where all block cache queries are for data blocks, and all are hits. Create DB and test (before and after tests running simultaneously): ``` TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm ./db_bench -benchmarks=fillrandom -num=30000000 -disable_wal=1 -bloom_bits=16 TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm base/db_bench -benchmarks=multireadrandom[-X30] -readonly -multiread_batched -batch_size=32 -num=30000000 -bloom_bits=16 -cache_size=6789000000 -duration 20 -threads=16 ``` **Before**: multireadrandom [AVG 30 runs] : 3444202 (± 57049) ops/sec; 240.9 (± 4.0) MB/sec multireadrandom [MEDIAN 30 runs] : 3514443 ops/sec; 245.8 MB/sec **After**: multireadrandom [AVG 30 runs] : 3291022 (± 58851) ops/sec; 230.2 (± 4.1) MB/sec multireadrandom [MEDIAN 30 runs] : 3366179 ops/sec; 235.4 MB/sec So that's roughly a 3% regression, on kind of a *worst case* test of MultiGet CPU. Similar story with HyperClockCache: **Before**: multireadrandom [AVG 30 runs] : 3933777 (± 41840) ops/sec; 275.1 (± 2.9) MB/sec multireadrandom [MEDIAN 30 runs] : 3970667 ops/sec; 277.7 MB/sec **After**: multireadrandom [AVG 30 runs] : 3755338 (± 30391) ops/sec; 262.6 (± 2.1) MB/sec multireadrandom [MEDIAN 30 runs] : 3785696 ops/sec; 264.8 MB/sec Roughly a 4-5% regression. Not ideal, but not the whole story, fortunately. Let's also look at Get() in db_bench: ``` TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm ./db_bench -benchmarks=readrandom[-X30] -readonly -num=30000000 -bloom_bits=16 -cache_size=6789000000 -duration 20 -threads=16 ``` **Before**: readrandom [AVG 30 runs] : 2198685 (± 13412) ops/sec; 153.8 (± 0.9) MB/sec readrandom [MEDIAN 30 runs] : 2209498 ops/sec; 154.5 MB/sec **After**: readrandom [AVG 30 runs] : 2292814 (± 43508) ops/sec; 160.3 (± 3.0) MB/sec readrandom [MEDIAN 30 runs] : 2365181 ops/sec; 165.4 MB/sec That's showing roughly a 4% improvement, perhaps because of the secondary cache code that is no longer part of LRUCache. But weirdly, HyperClockCache is also showing 2-3% improvement: **Before**: readrandom [AVG 30 runs] : 2272333 (± 9992) ops/sec; 158.9 (± 0.7) MB/sec readrandom [MEDIAN 30 runs] : 2273239 ops/sec; 159.0 MB/sec **After**: readrandom [AVG 30 runs] : 2332407 (± 11252) ops/sec; 163.1 (± 0.8) MB/sec readrandom [MEDIAN 30 runs] : 2335329 ops/sec; 163.3 MB/sec Reviewed By: ltamasi Differential Revision: D44177044 Pulled By: pdillinger fbshipit-source-id: e808e48ff3fe2f792a79841ba617be98e48689f5	2 years ago
Peter Dillinger	ccaa3225b0	Simplify tracking entries already in SecondaryCache (#11299) ... Summary: In preparation for factoring secondary cache support out of individual Cache implementations, we can get rid of the "in secondary cache" flag on entries through a workable hack: when an entry is promoted from secondary, it is inserted in primary using a helper that lacks secondary cache support, thus preventing re-insertion into secondary cache through existing logic. This adds to the complexity of building CacheItemHelpers, because you always have to be able to get to an equivalent helper without secondary cache support, but that complexity is reasonably isolated within RocksDB typed_cache.h and test code. gcc-7 seems to have problems with constexpr constructor referencing `this` so removed constexpr support on CacheItemHelper. Also refactored some related test code to share common code / functionality.

Peter Dillinger	3cacd4b4ec	Put Cache and CacheWrapper in new public header (#11192) ... Summary: The definition of the Cache class should not be needed by the vast majority of RocksDB users, so I think it is just distracting to include it in cache.h, which is primarily needed for configuring and creating caches. This change moves the class to a new header advanced_cache.h. It is just cut-and-paste except for modifying the class API comment. In general, operations on shared_ptr<Cache> should continue to work when only a forward declaration of Cache is available, as long as all the Cache instances provided are already shared_ptr. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/17650101/454544 Also, the most common way to customize a Cache is by wrapping an existing implementation, so it makes sense to provide CacheWrapper in the public API. This was a cut-and-paste job except removing the implementation of Name() so that derived classes must provide it.

Peter Dillinger	9f7801c5f1	Major Cache refactoring, CPU efficiency improvement (#10975) ... Summary: This is several refactorings bundled into one to avoid having to incrementally re-modify uses of Cache several times. Overall, there are breaking changes to Cache class, and it becomes more of low-level interface for implementing caches, especially block cache. New internal APIs make using Cache cleaner than before, and more insulated from block cache evolution. Hopefully, this is the last really big block cache refactoring, because of rather effectively decoupling the implementations from the uses. This change also removes the EXPERIMENTAL designation on the SecondaryCache support in Cache. It seems reasonably mature at this point but still subject to change/evolution (as I warn in the API docs for Cache). The high-level motivation for this refactoring is to minimize code duplication / compounding complexity in adding SecondaryCache support to HyperClockCache (in a later PR). Other benefits listed below. * static_cast lines of code +29 -35 (net removed 6) * reinterpret_cast lines of code +6 -32 (net removed 26) ## cache.h and secondary_cache.h * Always use CacheItemHelper with entries instead of just a Deleter. There are several motivations / justifications: * Simpler for implementations to deal with just one Insert and one Lookup. * Simpler and more efficient implementation because we don't have to track which entries are using helpers and which are using deleters * Gets rid of hack to classify cache entries by their deleter. Instead, the CacheItemHelper includes a CacheEntryRole. This simplifies a lot of code (cache_entry_roles.h almost eliminated). Fixes https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/9428. * Makes it trivial to adjust SecondaryCache behavior based on kind of block (e.g. don't re-compress filter blocks). * It is arguably less convenient for many direct users of Cache, but direct users of Cache are now rare with introduction of typed_cache.h (below). * I considered and rejected an alternative approach in which we reduce customizability by assuming each secondary cache compatible value starts with a Slice referencing the uncompressed block contents (already true or mostly true), but we apparently intend to stack secondary caches. Saving an entry from a compressed secondary to a lower tier requires custom handling offered by SaveToCallback, etc. * Make CreateCallback part of the helper and introduce CreateContext to work with it (alternative to https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/10562). This cleans up the interface while still allowing context to be provided for loading/parsing values into primary cache. This model works for async lookup in BlockBasedTable reader (reader owns a CreateContext) under the assumption that it always waits on secondary cache operations to finish. (Otherwise, the CreateContext could be destroyed while async operation depending on it continues.) This likely contributes most to the observed performance improvement because it saves an std::function backed by a heap allocation. * Use char* for serialized data, e.g. in SaveToCallback, where void* was confusingly used. (We use `char*` for serialized byte data all over RocksDB, with many advantages over `void*`. `memcpy` etc. are legacy APIs that should not be mimicked.) * Add a type alias Cache::ObjectPtr = void*, so that we can better indicate the intent of the void* when it is to be the object associated with a Cache entry. Related: started (but did not complete) a refactoring to move away from "value" of a cache entry toward "object" or "obj". (It is confusing to call Cache a key-value store (like DB) when it is really storing arbitrary in-memory objects, not byte strings.) * Remove unnecessary key param from DeleterFn. This is good for efficiency in HyperClockCache, which does not directly store the cache key in memory. (Alternative to https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/10774) * Add allocator to Cache DeleterFn. This is a kind of future-proofing change in case we get more serious about using the Cache allocator for memory tracked by the Cache. Right now, only the uncompressed block contents are allocated using the allocator, and a pointer to that allocator is saved as part of the cached object so that the deleter can use it. (See CacheAllocationPtr.) If in the future we are able to "flatten out" our Cache objects some more, it would be good not to have to track the allocator as part of each object. * Removes legacy `ApplyToAllCacheEntries` and changes `ApplyToAllEntries` signature for Deleter->CacheItemHelper change. ## typed_cache.h Adds various "typed" interfaces to the Cache as internal APIs, so that most uses of Cache can use simple type safe code without casting and without explicit deleters, etc. Almost all of the non-test, non-glue code uses of Cache have been migrated. (Follow-up work: CompressedSecondaryCache deserves deeper attention to migrate.) This change expands RocksDB's internal usage of metaprogramming and SFINAE (https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/sfinae). The existing usages of Cache are divided up at a high level into these new interfaces. See updated existing uses of Cache for examples of how these are used. * PlaceholderCacheInterface - Used for making cache reservations, with entries that have a charge but no value. * BasicTypedCacheInterface<TValue> - Used for primary cache storage of objects of type TValue, which can be cleaned up with std::default_delete<TValue>. The role is provided by TValue::kCacheEntryRole or given in an optional template parameter. * FullTypedCacheInterface<TValue, TCreateContext> - Used for secondary cache compatible storage of objects of type TValue. In addition to BasicTypedCacheInterface constraints, we require TValue::ContentSlice() to return persistable data. This simplifies usage for the normal case of simple secondary cache compatibility (can give you a Slice to the data already in memory). In addition to TCreateContext performing the role of Cache::CreateContext, it is also expected to provide a factory function for creating TValue. * For each of these, there's a "Shared" version (e.g. FullTypedSharedCacheInterface) that holds a shared_ptr to the Cache, rather than assuming external ownership by holding only a raw `Cache*`. These interfaces introduce specific handle types for each interface instantiation, so that it's easy to see what kind of object is controlled by a handle. (Ultimately, this might not be worth the extra complexity, but it seems OK so far.) Note: I attempted to make the cache 'charge' automatically inferred from the cache object type, such as by expecting an ApproximateMemoryUsage() function, but this is not so clean because there are cases where we need to compute the charge ahead of time and don't want to re-compute it. ## block_cache.h This header is essentially the replacement for the old block_like_traits.h. It includes various things to support block cache access with typed_cache.h for block-based table. ## block_based_table_reader.cc Before this change, accessing the block cache here was an awkward mix of static polymorphism (template TBlocklike) and switch-case on a dynamic BlockType value. This change mostly unifies on static polymorphism, relying on minor hacks in block_cache.h to distinguish variants of Block. We still check BlockType in some places (especially for stats, which could be improved in follow-up work) but at least the BlockType is a static constant from the template parameter. (No more awkward partial redundancy between static and dynamic info.) This likely contributes to the overall performance improvement, but hasn't been tested in isolation. The other key source of simplification here is a more unified system of creating block cache objects: for directly populating from primary cache and for promotion from secondary cache. Both use BlockCreateContext, for context and for factory functions. ## block_based_table_builder.cc, cache_dump_load_impl.cc Before this change, warming caches was super ugly code. Both of these source files had switch statements to basically transition from the dynamic BlockType world to the static TBlocklike world. None of that mess is needed anymore as there's a new, untyped WarmInCache function that handles all the details just as promotion from SecondaryCache would. (Fixes `TODO akanksha: Dedup below code` in block_based_table_builder.cc.) ## Everything else Mostly just updating Cache users to use new typed APIs when reasonably possible, or changed Cache APIs when not.

The improvement for that is likely coming from much simplified code for providing context for secondary cache promotion (CreateCallback/CreateContext), and possibly from less branching in block_based_table_reader. And likely a small improvement from not reconstituting key for DeleterFn.
