sdong 4720ba4391 Remove RocksDB LITE (#11147)
Summary:
We haven't been actively mantaining RocksDB LITE recently and the size must have been gone up significantly. We are removing the support.

Most of changes were done through following comments:

unifdef -m -UROCKSDB_LITE `git grep -l ROCKSDB_LITE | egrep '[.](cc|h)'`

by Peter Dillinger. Others changes were manually applied to build scripts, CircleCI manifests, ROCKSDB_LITE is used in an expression and file db_stress_test_base.cc.

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.

Almost uniformly improving over base revision, especially for hot paths with HyperClockCache, up to 12% higher throughput seen (1597MB, 32thread, hyper). 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.

Peter Dillinger ef443cead4 Refactor to avoid confusing "raw block" (#10408)
Summary:
We have a lot of confusing code because of mixed, sometimes
completely opposite uses of of the term "raw block" or "raw contents",
sometimes within the same source file. For example, in `BlockBasedTableBuilder`,
`raw_block_contents` and `raw_size` generally referred to uncompressed block
contents and size, while `WriteRawBlock` referred to writing a block that
is already compressed if it is going to be. Meanwhile, in
`BlockBasedTable`, `raw_block_contents` either referred to a (maybe
compressed) block with trailer, or a maybe compressed block maybe
without trailer. (Note: left as follow-up work to use C++ typing to
better sort out the various kinds of BlockContents.)

This change primarily tries to apply some consistent terminology around
the kinds of block representations, avoiding the unclear "raw". (Any
meaning of "raw" assumes some bias toward the storage layer or toward
the logical data layer.) Preferred terminology:

* **Serialized block** - bytes that go into storage. For block-based table
(usually the case) this includes the block trailer. WART: block `size` may or
may not include the trailer; need to be clear about whether it does or not.
* **Maybe compressed block** - like a serialized block, but without the
trailer (or no promise of including a trailer). Must be accompanied by a
CompressionType.
* **Uncompressed block** - "payload" bytes that are either stored with no
compression, used as input to compression function, or result of
decompression function.
* **Parsed block** - an in-memory form of a block in block cache, as it is
used by the table reader. Different C++ types are used depending on the
block type (see block_like_traits.h).

Other refactorings:
* Misc corrections/improvements of internal API comments
* Remove a few misleading / unhelpful / redundant comments.
* Use move semantics in some places to simplify contracts
* Use better parameter names to indicate which parameters are used for
outputs
* Remove some extraneous `extern`
* Various clean-ups to `CacheDumperImpl` (mostly unnecessary code)

Peter Dillinger 86a1e3e0e7 Derive cache keys from SST unique IDs (#10394)
Summary:
... so that cache keys can be derived from DB manifest data
before reading the file from storage--so that every part of the file
can potentially go in a persistent cache.

See updated comments in cache_key.cc for technical details. Importantly,
the new cache key encoding uses some fancy but efficient math to pack
data into the cache key without depending on the sizes of the various
pieces. This simplifies some existing code creating cache keys, like
cache warming before the file size is known.

This should provide us an essentially permanent mapping between SST
unique IDs and base cache keys, with the ability to "upgrade" SST
unique IDs (and thus cache keys) with new SST format_versions.

These cache keys are of similar, perhaps indistinguishable quality to
the previous generation. Before this change (see "corrected" days
between collision):

```
./cache_bench -stress_cache_key -sck_keep_bits=43
18 collisions after 2 x 90 days, est 10 days between (1.15292e+19 corrected)
```

After this change (keep 43 bits, up through 50, to validate "trajectory"
is ok on "corrected" days between collision):
```
19 collisions after 3 x 90 days, est 14.2105 days between (1.63836e+19 corrected)
16 collisions after 5 x 90 days, est 28.125 days between (1.6213e+19 corrected)
15 collisions after 7 x 90 days, est 42 days between (1.21057e+19 corrected)
15 collisions after 17 x 90 days, est 102 days between (1.46997e+19 corrected)
15 collisions after 49 x 90 days, est 294 days between (2.11849e+19 corrected)
15 collisions after 62 x 90 days, est 372 days between (1.34027e+19 corrected)
15 collisions after 53 x 90 days, est 318 days between (5.72858e+18 corrected)
15 collisions after 309 x 90 days, est 1854 days between (1.66994e+19 corrected)
```

However, the change does modify (probably weaken) the "guaranteed unique" promise from this

> SST files generated in a single process are guaranteed to have unique cache keys, unless/until number session ids * max file number = 2**86

to this (see https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/10388)

> With the DB id limitation, we only have nice guaranteed unique cache keys for files generated in a single process until biggest session_id_counter and offset_in_file reach combined 64 bits

I don't think this is a practical concern, though.

Peter Dillinger 126c223714 Remove deprecated block-based filter (#10184)
Summary:
In https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/9535, release 7.0, we hid the old block-based filter from being created using
the public API, because of its inefficiency. Although we normally maintain read compatibility
on old DBs forever, filters are not required for reading a DB, only for optimizing read
performance. Thus, it should be acceptable to remove this code and the substantial
maintenance burden it carries as useful features are developed and validated (such
as user timestamp).

This change completely removes the code for reading and writing the old block-based
filters, net removing about 1370 lines of code no longer needed. Options removed from
testing / benchmarking tools. The prior existence is only evident in a couple of places:
* `CacheEntryRole::kDeprecatedFilterBlock` - We can update this public API enum in
a major release to minimize source code incompatibilities.
* A warning is logged when an old table file is opened that used the old block-based
filter. This is provided as a courtesy, and would be a pain to unit test, so manual testing
should suffice. Unfortunately, sst_dump does not tell you whether a file uses
block-based filter, and the structure of the code makes it very difficult to fix.
* To detect that case, `kObsoleteFilterBlockPrefix` (renamed from `kFilterBlockPrefix`)
for metaindex is maintained (for now).

Other notes:
* In some cases where numbers are associated with filter configurations, we have had to
update the assigned numbers so that they all correspond to something that exists.
* Fixed potential stat counting bug by assuming `filter_checked = false` for cases
like `filter == nullptr` rather than assuming `filter_checked = true`
* Removed obsolete `block_offset` and `prefix_extractor` parameters from several
functions.
* Removed some unnecessary checks `if (!table_prefix_extractor() && !prefix_extractor)`
because the caller guarantees the prefix extractor exists and is compatible

Peter Dillinger 4f78f9699b Refactor: Add BlockTypes to make them imply C++ type in block cache (#10098)
Summary:
We have three related concepts:
* BlockType: an internal enum conceptually indicating a type of SST file
block
* CacheEntryRole: a user-facing enum for categorizing block cache entries,
which is also involved in associated cache entries with an appropriate
deleter. Can include categories for non-block cache entries (e.g. memory
reservations).
* TBlocklike: a C++ type for the actual type behind a void* cache entry.

We had some existing code ugliness because BlockType did not imply
TBlocklike, because of various kinds of "filter" block. This refactoring
fixes that with new BlockTypes.

More clean-up can come in later work.

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)

Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/9126

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.

Zhichao Cao 699f45049d Introduce a mechanism to dump out blocks from block cache and re-insert to secondary cache (#8912)
Summary:
Background: Cache warming up will cause potential read performance degradation due to reading blocks from storage to the block cache. Since in production, the workload and access pattern to a certain DB is stable, it is a potential solution to dump out the blocks belonging to a certain DB to persist storage (e.g., to a file) and bulk-load the blocks to Secondary cache before the DB is relaunched. For example, when migrating a DB form host A to host B, it will take a short period of time, the access pattern to blocks in the block cache will not change much. It is efficient to dump out the blocks of certain DB, migrate to the destination host and insert them to the Secondary cache before we relaunch the DB.

Design: we introduce the interface of CacheDumpWriter and CacheDumpRead for user to store the blocks dumped out from block cache. RocksDB will encode all the information and send the string to the writer. User can implement their own writer it they want. CacheDumper and CacheLoad are introduced to save the blocks and load the blocks respectively.

Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/8912

Test Plan: add new tests to lru_cache_test and pass make check.
