Dhruba Borthakur dde70898a1 Fix asserts
Summary:
make check OPT=-g fails with the following assert.
==== Test DBTest.ApproximateSizes
db_test: db/version_set.cc:765: void leveldb::VersionSet::Builder::CheckConsistencyForDeletes(leveldb::VersionEdit*, int, int): Assertion `found' failed.

The assertion was that file #7 that was being deleted did not
preexists, but actualy it did pre-exist as shown in the manifest
dump shows below. The bug was that we did not check for file
existance at the same level.

Abhishek Kona 391885c4e4 stat's collection in leveldb
Summary:
Prototype stat's collection. Diff is a good estimate of what
the final code will look like.
A few assumptions :
  * Used a global static instance of the statistics object. Plan to pass
  it to each internal function. Static allows metrics only at app
  level.
  * In the Ticker's do not do any locking. Depend on the mutex at each
   function of LevelDB. If we ever remove the mutex, we should change
   here too. The other option is use atomic objects anyways as there
   won't be any contention as they will be always acquired only by one
   thread.
  * The counters are dumb, increment through lifecycle. Plan to use ods
    etc to get last5min stat etc.

Test Plan:
made changes in db_bench
Ran ./db_bench --statistics=1 --num=10000 --cache_size=5000
This will print the cache hit/miss stats.

Dhruba Borthakur 95dda37858 Move filesize-based-sorting to outside the Mutex
Summary:
When a new version is created, we sort all the files at every
level based on their size. This is necessary because we want
to compact the largest file first. The sorting takes quite a
bit of CPU.

Moved the sorting code to be outside the mutex. Also, the
earlier code was sorting files at all levels but we do not
need to sort the highest-number level because those files
are never the cause of any compaction. To reduce sorting
costs, we sort only the first few files in each level
because it is likely that those are the only files in that
level that will be picked for compaction.

At steady state, I have seen that this patch increase
throughout from 1500 writes/sec to 1700 writes/sec at the
end of a 72 hour run. The cpu saving by not sorting the
last level was not distinctive in this test run because
there were only 100K files in the highest numbered level.
I expect the cpu saving to be significant when the number of
files is much higher.

This is mostly an early preview and not ready for rigorous review.

With this patch, the writs/sec is now bottlenecked not by the sorting code but by GetOverlappingInputs. I am working on a patch to optimize GetOverlappingInputs.

Dhruba Borthakur 9b87a2bae8 Avoid doing a exhaustive search when looking for overlapping files.
Summary:
The Version::GetOverlappingInputs() is called multiple times in
the compaction code path. Eack invocation does a binary search
for overlapping files in the specified key range.
This patch remembers the offset of an overlapped file when
GetOverlappingInputs() is called the first time within
a compaction run. Suceeding calls to GetOverlappingInputs()
uses the remembered index to avoid the binary search.

I measured that 1000 iterations of GetOverlappingInputs
takes around 4500 microseconds without this patch. If I use
this patch with the hint on every invocation, then 1000
iterations take about 3900 microsecond.

Dhruba Borthakur cb7a00227f The method GetOverlappingInputs should use binary search.
Summary:
The method Version::GetOverlappingInputs used a sequential search
to map a kay-range to a set of files. But the files are arranged
in ascending order of key, so a biary search is more effective.

This patch implements Version::GetOverlappingInputsBinarySearch
that finds one file that corresponds to the specified key range
and then iterates backwards and forwards to find all overlapping
files.

This patch is critical for making compactions efficient, especially
when there are thousands of files in a single level.

I measured that 1000 iterations of TEST_MaxNextLevelOverlappingBytes
takes 16000 microseconds without this patch. With this patch, the
same method takes about 4600 microseconds.

Test Plan: Almost all unit tests in db_test uses this method to lookup keys.

Dhruba Borthakur 5273c81483 Ability to invoke application hook for every key during compaction.
Summary:
There are certain use-cases where the application intends to
delete older keys aftre they have expired a certian time period.
One option for those applications is to periodically scan the
entire database and delete appropriate keys.

A better way is to allow the application to hook into the
compaction process. This patch allows the application to set
a method callback for every key that is being compacted. If
this method returns true, then the key is not preserved in
the output of the compaction.

Test Plan:
This is mostly to preview the proposed new public api.
Since it is a public api, please do due diligence on reviewing it.

I will be writing test cases for this api in mynext version of

Dhruba Borthakur 321dfdc3ae Allow having different compression algorithms on different levels.
Summary:
The leveldb API is enhanced to support different compression algorithms at
different levels.

This adds the option min_level_to_compress to db_bench that specifies
the minimum level for which compression should be done when
compression is enabled. This can be used to disable compression for levels
0 and 1 which are likely to suffer from stalls because of the CPU load
for memtable flushes and (L0,L1) compaction.  Level 0 is special as it
gets frequent memtable flushes. Level 1 is special as it frequently
gets all:all file compactions between it and level 0. But all other levels
could be the same. For any level N where N > 1, the rate of sequential
IO for that level should be the same. The last level is the
exception because it might not be full and because files from it are
not read to compact with the next larger level.

The same amount of time will be spent doing compaction at any
level N excluding N=0, 1 or the last level. By this standard all
of those levels should use the same compression. The difference is that
the loss (using more disk space) from a faster compression algorithm
is less significant for N=2 than for N=3. So we might be willing to
trade disk space for faster write rates with no compression
for L0 and L1, snappy for L2, zlib for L3. Using a faster compression
algorithm for the mid levels also allows us to reclaim some cpu
without trading off much loss in disk space overhead.

Also note that little is to be gained by compressing levels 0 and 1. For
a 4-level tree they account for 10% of the data. For a 5-level tree they
account for 1% of the data.

With compression enabled:
* memtable flush rate is ~18MB/second
* (L0,L1) compaction rate is ~30MB/second

With compression enabled but min_level_to_compress=2
* memtable flush rate is ~320MB/second
* (L0,L1) compaction rate is ~560MB/second

This practicaly takes the same code from https://reviews.facebook.net/D6225
but makes the leveldb api more general purpose with a few additional
lines of code.

Test Plan: make check
