Summary:
* Inefficient block-based filter is no longer customizable in the public
API, though (for now) can still be enabled.
* Removed deprecated FilterPolicy::CreateFilter() and
FilterPolicy::KeyMayMatch()
* Removed `rocksdb_filterpolicy_create()` from C API
* Change meaning of nullptr return from GetBuilderWithContext() from "use
block-based filter" to "generate no filter in this case." This is a
cleaner solution to the proposal in https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/8250.
* Also, when user specifies bits_per_key < 0.5, we now round this down
to "no filter" because we expect a filter with >= 80% FP rate is
unlikely to be worth the CPU cost of accessing it (esp with
cache_index_and_filter_blocks=1 or partition_filters=1).
* bits_per_key >= 0.5 and < 1.0 is still rounded up to 1.0 (for 62% FP
rate)
* This also gives us some support for configuring filters from OPTIONS
file as currently saved: `filter_policy=rocksdb.BuiltinBloomFilter`.
Opening from such an options file will enable reading filters (an
improvement) but not writing new ones. (See Customizable follow-up
below.)
* Also removed deprecated functions
* FilterBitsBuilder::CalculateNumEntry()
* FilterPolicy::GetFilterBitsBuilder()
* NewExperimentalRibbonFilterPolicy()
* Remove default implementations of
* FilterBitsBuilder::EstimateEntriesAdded()
* FilterBitsBuilder::ApproximateNumEntries()
* FilterPolicy::GetBuilderWithContext()
* Remove support for "filter_policy=experimental_ribbon" configuration
string.
* Allow "filter_policy=bloomfilter:n" without bool to discourage use of
block-based filter.
Some pieces for https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/9389
Likely follow-up (later PRs):
* Refactoring toward FilterPolicy Customizable, so that we can generate
filters with same configuration as before when configuring from options
file.
* Remove support for user enabling block-based filter (ignore `bool
use_block_based_builder`)
* Some months after this change, we could even remove read support for
block-based filter, because it is not critical to DB data
preservation.
* Make FilterBitsBuilder::FinishV2 to avoid `using
FilterBitsBuilder::Finish` mess and add support for specifying a
MemoryAllocator (for cache warming)
