Peter Dillinger 0050a73a4f New stable, fixed-length cache keys (#9126)
Summary:
This change standardizes on a new 16-byte cache key format for
block cache (incl compressed and secondary) and persistent cache (but
not table cache and row cache).

The goal is a really fast cache key with practically ideal stability and
uniqueness properties without external dependencies (e.g. from FileSystem).
A fixed key size of 16 bytes should enable future optimizations to the
concurrent hash table for block cache, which is a heavy CPU user /
bottleneck, but there appears to be measurable performance improvement
even with no changes to LRUCache.

This change replaces a lot of disjointed and ugly code handling cache
keys with calls to a simple, clean new internal API (cache_key.h).
(Preserving the old cache key logic under an option would be very ugly
and likely negate the performance gain of the new approach. Complete
replacement carries some inherent risk, but I think that's acceptable
with sufficient analysis and testing.)

The scheme for encoding new cache keys is complicated but explained
in cache_key.cc.

Also: EndianSwapValue is moved to math.h to be next to other bit
operations. (Explains some new include "math.h".) ReverseBits operation
added and unit tests added to hash_test for both.

Fixes https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/7405 (presuming a root cause)

Test Plan:
### Basic correctness
Several tests needed updates to work with the new functionality, mostly
because we are no longer relying on filesystem for stable cache keys
so table builders & readers need more context info to agree on cache
keys. This functionality is so core, a huge number of existing tests
exercise the cache key functionality.

### Performance
Create db with
`TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm ./db_bench -bloom_bits=10 -benchmarks=fillrandom -num=3000000 -partition_index_and_filters`
And test performance with
`TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm ./db_bench -readonly -use_existing_db -bloom_bits=10 -benchmarks=readrandom -num=3000000 -duration=30 -cache_index_and_filter_blocks -cache_size=250000 -threads=4`
using DEBUG_LEVEL=0 and simultaneous before & after runs.
Before ops/sec, avg over 100 runs: 121924
After ops/sec, avg over 100 runs: 125385 (+2.8%)

### Collision probability
I have built a tool, ./cache_bench -stress_cache_key to broadly simulate host-wide cache activity
over many months, by making some pessimistic simplifying assumptions:
* Every generated file has a cache entry for every byte offset in the file (contiguous range of cache keys)
* All of every file is cached for its entire lifetime

We use a simple table with skewed address assignment and replacement on address collision
to simulate files coming & going, with quite a variance (super-Poisson) in ages. Some output
with `./cache_bench -stress_cache_key -sck_keep_bits=40`:

```
Total cache or DBs size: 32TiB  Writing 925.926 MiB/s or 76.2939TiB/day
Multiply by 9.22337e+18 to correct for simulation losses (but still assume whole file cached)
```

These come from default settings of 2.5M files per day of 32 MB each, and
`-sck_keep_bits=40` means that to represent a single file, we are only keeping 40 bits of
the 128-bit cache key.  With file size of 2\*\*25 contiguous keys (pessimistic), our simulation
is about 2\*\*(128-40-25) or about 9 billion billion times more prone to collision than reality.

More default assumptions, relatively pessimistic:
* 100 DBs in same process (doesn't matter much)
* Re-open DB in same process (new session ID related to old session ID) on average
every 100 files generated
* Restart process (all new session IDs unrelated to old) 24 times per day

After enough data, we get a result at the end:

```
(keep 40 bits)  17 collisions after 2 x 90 days, est 10.5882 days between (9.76592e+19 corrected)
```

If we believe the (pessimistic) simulation and the mathematical generalization, we would need to run a billion machines all for 97 billion days to expect a cache key collision. To help verify that our generalization ("corrected") is robust, we can make our simulation more precise with `-sck_keep_bits=41` and `42`, which takes more running time to get enough data:

```
(keep 41 bits)  16 collisions after 4 x 90 days, est 22.5 days between (1.03763e+20 corrected)
(keep 42 bits)  19 collisions after 10 x 90 days, est 47.3684 days between (1.09224e+20 corrected)
```

The generalized prediction still holds. With the `-sck_randomize` option, we can see that we are beating "random" cache keys (except offsets still non-randomized) by a modest amount (roughly 20x less collision prone than random), which should make us reasonably comfortable even in "degenerate" cases:

```
197 collisions after 1 x 90 days, est 0.456853 days between (4.21372e+18 corrected)
```

I've run other tests to validate other conditions behave as expected, never behaving "worse than random" unless we start chopping off structured data.

Peter Dillinger bda8d93ba9 Fix and detect headers with missing dependencies (#8893)
Summary:
It's always annoying to find a header does not include its own
dependencies and only works when included after other includes. This
change adds `make check-headers` which validates that each header can
be included at the top of a file. Some headers are excluded e.g. because
of platform or external dependencies.

rocksdb_namespace.h had to be re-worked slightly to enable checking for
failure to include it. (ROCKSDB_NAMESPACE is a valid namespace name.)

Fixes mostly involve adding and cleaning up #includes, but for
FileTraceWriter, a constructor was out-of-lined to make a forward
declaration sufficient.

This check is not currently run with `make check` but is added to
CircleCI build-linux-unity since that one is already relatively fast.

Peter Dillinger df5dc73bec Don't hold DB mutex for block cache entry stat scans (#8538)
Summary:
I previously didn't notice the DB mutex was being held during
block cache entry stat scans, probably because I primarily checked for
read performance regressions, because they require the block cache and
are traditionally latency-sensitive.

This change does some refactoring to avoid holding DB mutex and to
avoid triggering and waiting for a scan in GetProperty("rocksdb.cfstats").
Some tests have to be updated because now the stats collector is
populated in the Cache aggressively on DB startup rather than lazily.
(I hope to clean up some of this added complexity in the future.)

This change also ensures proper treatment of need_out_of_mutex for
non-int DB properties.

Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/8538

Test Plan:
Added unit test logic that uses sync points to fail if the DB mutex
is held during a scan, covering the various ways that a scan might be
triggered.

Performance test - the known impact to holding the DB mutex is on
TransactionDB, and the easiest way to see the impact is to hack the
scan code to almost always miss and take an artificially long time
scanning. Here I've injected an unconditional 5s sleep at the call to
ApplyToAllEntries.

Peter Dillinger d5a46c40e5 Pin CacheEntryStatsCollector to fix performance bug (#8385)
Summary:
If the block Cache is full with strict_capacity_limit=false,
then our CacheEntryStatsCollector could be immediately evicted on
release, so iterating through column families with shared block cache
could trigger re-scan for each CF. This change fixes that problem by
pinning the CacheEntryStatsCollector from InternalStats so that it's not
evicted.

I had originally thought that this object could participate in LRU like
everything else, but even though a re-load+re-scan only touches memory,
it can be orders of magnitude more expensive than other cache misses.
One service in Facebook has scans that take ~20s over 100GB block cache
that is mostly 4KB entries. (The up-side of this bug and https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/8369 is that
we had a natural experiment on the effect on some service metrics even
with block cache scans running continuously in the background--a kind
of worst case scenario. Metrics like latency were not affected enough
to trigger warnings.)

Other smaller fixes:

20s is already a sizable portion of 600s stats dump period, or 180s
default max age to force re-scan, so added logic to ensure that (for
each block cache) we don't spend more than 0.2% of our background thread
time scanning it. Nevertheless, "foreground" requests for cache entry
stats (calls to `db->GetMapProperty(DB::Properties::kBlockCacheEntryStats)`)
are permitted to consume more CPU.

Renamed field to cache_entry_stats_ to match code style.

This change is intended for patching in 6.21 release.

Peter Dillinger 2f93a3b809 Fix a major performance bug in 6.21 for cache entry stats (#8369)
Summary:
In final polishing of https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/8297 (after most manual testing), I
broke my own caching layer by sanitizing an input parameter with
std::min(0, x) instead of std::max(0, x). I resisted unit testing the
timing part of the result caching because historically, these test
are either flaky or difficult to write, and this was not a correctness
issue. This bug is essentially unnoticeable with a small number
of column families but can explode background work with a
large number of column families.

This change fixes the logical error, removes some unnecessary related
optimization, and adds mock time/sleeps to the unit test to ensure we
can cache hit within the age limit.

Peter Dillinger 311a544c2a Use deleters to label cache entries and collect stats (#8297)
Summary:
This change gathers and publishes statistics about the
kinds of items in block cache. This is especially important for
profiling relative usage of cache by index vs. filter vs. data blocks.
It works by iterating over the cache during periodic stats dump
(InternalStats, stats_dump_period_sec) or on demand when
DB::Get(Map)Property(kBlockCacheEntryStats), except that for
efficiency and sharing among column families, saved data from
the last scan is used when the data is not considered too old.

The new information can be seen in info LOG, for example:

    Block cache LRUCache@0x7fca62229330 capacity: 95.37 MB collections: 8 last_copies: 0 last_secs: 0.00178 secs_since: 0
    Block cache entry stats(count,size,portion): DataBlock(7092,28.24 MB,29.6136%) FilterBlock(215,867.90 KB,0.888728%) FilterMetaBlock(2,5.31 KB,0.00544%) IndexBlock(217,180.11 KB,0.184432%) WriteBuffer(1,256.00 KB,0.262144%) Misc(1,0.00 KB,0%)

And also through DB::GetProperty and GetMapProperty (here using

    rocksdb.block-cache-entry-stats.secs_since_last_collection: 0

Solution detail - We need some way to flag what kind of blocks each
entry belongs to, preferably without changing the Cache API.
One of the complications is that Cache is a general interface that could
have other users that don't adhere to whichever convention we decide
on for keys and values. Or we would pay for an extra field in the Handle
that would only be used for this purpose.

This change uses a back-door approach, the deleter, to indicate the
"role" of a Cache entry (in addition to the value type, implicitly).
This has the added benefit of ensuring proper code origin whenever we
recognize a particular role for a cache entry; if the entry came from
some other part of the code, it will use an unrecognized deleter, which
we simply attribute to the "Misc" role.

An internal API makes for simple instantiation and automatic
registration of Cache deleters for a given value type and "role".

Another internal API, CacheEntryStatsCollector, solves the problem of
caching the results of a scan and sharing them, to ensure scans are
neither excessive nor redundant so as not to harm Cache performance.

Because code is added to BlocklikeTraits, it is pulled out of
block_based_table_reader.cc into its own file.

This is a reformulation of https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/8276, without the type checking option
(could still be added), and with actual stat gathering.
