Summary:
Since read threads do not coordinate on loading data into block
cache, two threads between Lookup and Insert can end up loading and
inserting the same data. This is particularly concerning with
cache_index_and_filter_blocks since those are hot and more likely to
be race targets if ejected from (or not pre-populated in) the cache.
Particularly with moves toward disaggregated / network storage, the cost
of redundant retrieval might be high, and we should at least have some
hard statistics from which we can estimate impact.

Summary:
As the first step of reintroducing eviction statistics for the block
cache, the patch switches from using simple function pointers as deleters
to function objects implementing an interface. This will enable using
deleters that have state, like a smart pointer to the statistics object
that is to be updated when an entry is removed from the cache. For now,
the patch adds a deleter template class `SimpleDeleter`, which simply
casts the `value` pointer to its original type and calls `delete` or
`delete[]` on it as appropriate. Note: to prevent object lifecycle
issues, deleters must outlive the cache entries referring to them;
`SimpleDeleter` ensures this by using the ("leaky") Meyers singleton
pattern.

Summary:
For our default block cache, each additional entry has extra memory overhead. It include LRUHandle (72 bytes currently) and the cache key (two varint64, file id and offset). The usage is not negligible. For example for block_size=4k, the overhead accounts for an extra 2% memory usage for the cache. The patch charging the cache for the extra usage, reducing untracked memory usage outside block cache. The feature is enabled by default and can be disabled by passing kDontChargeCacheMetadata to the cache constructor.
This PR builds up on https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/4258
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/5797
Test Plan:
- Existing tests are updated to either disable the feature when the test has too much dependency on the old way of accounting the usage or increasing the cache capacity to account for the additional charge of metadata.
- The Usage tests in cache_test.cc are augmented to test the cache usage under kFullChargeCacheMetadata.

Summary:
RocksDB has historically stored uncompression dictionary objects in the block
cache as opposed to storing just the block contents. This neccesitated
evicting the object upon table close. With the new code, only the raw blocks
are stored in the cache, eliminating the need for eviction.
In addition, the patch makes the following improvements:
1) Compression dictionary blocks are now prefetched/pinned similarly to
index/filter blocks.
2) A copy operation got eliminated when the uncompression dictionary is
retrieved.
3) Errors related to retrieving the uncompression dictionary are propagated as
opposed to silently ignored.
Note: the patch temporarily breaks the compression dictionary evicition stats.
They will be fixed in a separate phase.

Summary:
Currently, when the block cache is used for the filter block, it is not
really the block itself that is stored in the cache but a FilterBlockReader
object. Since this object is not pure data (it has, for instance, pointers that
might dangle, including in one case a back pointer to the TableReader), it's not
really sharable. To avoid the issues around this, the current code erases the
cache entries when the TableReader is closed (which, BTW, is not sufficient
since a concurrent TableReader might have picked up the object in the meantime).
Instead of doing this, the patch moves the FilterBlockReader out of the cache
altogether, and decouples the filter reader object from the filter block.
In particular, instead of the TableReader owning, or caching/pinning the
FilterBlockReader (based on the customer's settings), with the change the
TableReader unconditionally owns the FilterBlockReader, which in turn
owns/caches/pins the filter block. This change also enables us to reuse the code
paths historically used for data blocks for filters as well.
Note:
Eviction statistics for filter blocks are temporarily broken. We plan to fix this in a
separate phase.

Summary:
Currently, when the block cache is used for index blocks as well, it is
not really the index block that is stored in the cache but an
IndexReader object. Since this object is not pure data (it has, for
instance, pointers that might dangle), it's not really sharable. To
avoid the issues around this, the current code uses a dummy unique cache
key for each TableReader to store the IndexReader, and erases the
IndexReader entry when the TableReader is closed. Instead of doing this,
the new code moves the IndexReader out of the cache altogether. In
particular, instead of the TableReader owning, or caching/pinning the
IndexReader based on the customer's settings, the TableReader
unconditionally owns the IndexReader, which in turn owns/caches/pins
the index block (which is itself sharable and thus can be safely put in
the cache without any hacks).
Note: the change has two side effects:
1) Partitions of partitioned indexes no longer affect the read
amplification statistics.
2) Eviction statistics for index blocks are temporarily broken. We plan to fix
this in a separate phase.

Summary:
Introduce BlockBasedTableOptions::index_shortening to give users control on which key shortening techniques to be used in building index blocks. Before this patch, both separators and successor keys where shortened in indexes. With this patch, the default is set to kShortenSeparators to only shorten the separators. Since each index block has many separators and only one successor (last key), the change should not have negative impact on index block size. However it should prevent many unnecessary block loads where due to approximation introduced by shorted successor, seek would land us to the previous block and then fix it by moving to the next one.

Summary:
Our previous approach was to train one compression dictionary per compaction, using the first output SST to train a dictionary, and then applying it on subsequent SSTs in the same compaction. While this was great for minimizing CPU/memory/I/O overhead, it did not achieve good compression ratios in practice. In our most promising potential use case, moderate reductions in a dictionary's scope make a major difference on compression ratio.
So, this PR changes compression dictionary to be scoped per-SST. It accepts the tradeoff during table building to use more memory and CPU. Important changes include:
- The `BlockBasedTableBuilder` has a new state when dictionary compression is in-use: `kBuffered`. In that state it accumulates uncompressed data in-memory whenever `Add` is called.
- After accumulating target file size bytes or calling `BlockBasedTableBuilder::Finish`, a `BlockBasedTableBuilder` moves to the `kUnbuffered` state. The transition (`EnterUnbuffered()`) involves sampling the buffered data, training a dictionary, and compressing/writing out all buffered data. In the `kUnbuffered` state, a `BlockBasedTableBuilder` behaves the same as before -- blocks are compressed/written out as soon as they fill up.
- Samples are now whole uncompressed data blocks, except the final sample may be a partial data block so we don't breach the user's configured `max_dict_bytes` or `zstd_max_train_bytes`. The dictionary trainer is supposed to work better when we pass it real units of compression. Previously we were passing 64-byte KV samples which was not realistic.

Summary:
- If block cache disabled or not used for meta-blocks, `BlockBasedTableReader::Rep::uncompression_dict` owns the `UncompressionDict`. It is preloaded during `PrefetchIndexAndFilterBlocks`.
- If block cache is enabled and used for meta-blocks, block cache owns the `UncompressionDict`, which holds dictionary and digested dictionary when needed. It is never prefetched though there is a TODO for this in the code. The cache key is simply the compression dictionary block handle.
- New stats for compression dictionary accesses in block cache: "BLOCK_CACHE_COMPRESSION_DICT_*" and "compression_dict_block_read_count"

Summary: With `table_options.cache_index_and_filter_blocks = true`, index and filter blocks are stored in block cache. Then people are curious how much of the block cache total size is used by indexes and bloom filters. It will be nice we have a way to report that. It can help people tune performance and plan for optimized hardware setting. We add several enum values for db Statistics. BLOCK_CACHE_INDEX/FILTER_BYTES_INSERT - BLOCK_CACHE_INDEX/FILTER_BYTES_ERASE = current INDEX/FILTER total block size in bytes.
