Dhruba Borthakur ad96563b79 Ability to configure bufferedio-reads, filesystem-readaheads and mmap-read-write per database.
Summary:
This patch allows an application to specify whether to use bufferedio,
reads-via-mmaps and writes-via-mmaps per database. Earlier, there
was a global static variable that was used to configure this functionality.

The default setting remains the same (and is backward compatible):
 1. use bufferedio
 2. do not use mmaps for reads
 3. use mmap for writes
 4. use readaheads for reads needed for compaction

I also added a parameter to db_bench to be able to explicitly specify
whether to do readaheads for compactions or not.

Mark Callaghan 993543d1be Add rate_delay_limit_milliseconds
Summary:
This adds the rate_delay_limit_milliseconds option to make the delay
configurable in MakeRoomForWrite when the max compaction score is too high.
This delay is called the Ln slowdown. This change also counts the Ln slowdown
per level to make it possible to see where the stalls occur.

From IO-bound performance testing, the Level N stalls occur:
* with compression -> at the largest uncompressed level. This makes sense
                      because compaction for compressed levels is much
                      slower. When Lx is uncompressed and Lx+1 is compressed
                      then files pile up at Lx because the (Lx,Lx+1)->Lx+1
                      compaction process is the first to be slowed by
                      compression.
* without compression -> at level 1

Dhruba Borthakur 806e264350 Ability for rocksdb to compact when flushing the in-memory memtable to a file in L0.
Summary:
Rocks accumulates recent writes and deletes in the in-memory memtable.
When the memtable is full, it writes the contents on the memtable to
a file in L0.

This patch removes redundant records at the time of the flush. If there
are multiple versions of the same key in the memtable, then only the
most recent one is dumped into the output file. The purging of
redundant records occur only if the most recent snapshot is earlier
than the earliest record in the memtable.

Should we switch on this feature by default or should we keep this feature
turned off in the default settings?

Chip Turner 3dafdfb2c4 Use fallocate to prevent excessive allocation of sst files and logs
Summary:
On some filesystems, pre-allocation can be a considerable
amount of space.  xfs in our production environment pre-allocates by
1GB, for instance.  By using fallocate to inform the kernel of our
expected file sizes, we eliminate this wasteage (that isn't recovered
until the file is closed which, in the case of LOG files, can be a
considerable amount of time).

Test Plan:
created an xfs loopback filesystem, mounted with
allocsize=4M, and ran db_stress.  LOG file without this change was 4M,
and with it it was 128k then grew to normal size.

Dhruba Borthakur f4c2b7cf97 Enhance ReadOnly mode to process the all committed transactions.
Summary:
Leveldb has an api OpenForReadOnly() that opens the database
in readonly mode. This call had an option to not process the
transaction log.  This patch removes this option and always
processes all transactions that had been committed. It has
been done in such a way that it does not create/write to
any new files in the process. The invariant of "no-writes"
to the leveldb data directory is still true.

This enhancement allows multiple threads to open the same database
in readonly mode and access all trancations that were committed right
upto the OpenForReadOnly call.

I changed the public API to match the new semantics because
there are no users who are currently using this api.

Dhruba Borthakur 7632fdb5cb Support taking a configurable number of files from the same level to compact in a single compaction run.
Summary:
The compaction process takes some files from LevelK and
merges it into LevelK+1. The number of files it picks from
LevelK was capped such a way that the total amount of
data picked does not exceed the maxfilesize of that level.
This essentially meant that only one file from LevelK
is picked for a single compaction.

For bulkloads, we would like to take many many file from
LevelK and compact them using a single compaction run.

This patch introduces a option called the 'source_compaction_factor'
(similar to expanded_compaction_factor). It is a multiplier
that is multiplied by the maxfilesize of that level to arrive
at the limit that is used to throttle the number of source
files from LevelK.  For bulk loads, set source_compaction_factor
to a very high number so that multiple files from the same
level are picked for compaction in a single compaction.

The default value of source_compaction_factor is 1, so that
we can keep backward compatibilty with existing compaction semantics.

Summary:
Prototype stat's collection. Diff is a good estimate of what

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.

One option for those applications is to periodically scan the

A better way is to allow the application to hook into the

this method returns true, then the key is not preserved in

amayank 854c66b089 Make compression options configurable. These include window-bits, level and strategy for ZlibCompression
Summary: Leveldb currently uses windowBits=-14 while using zlib compression.(It was earlier 15). This makes the setting configurable. Related changes here: https://reviews.facebook.net/D6105

Test Plan: make all check

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.

Mark Callaghan 70c42bf05f Adds DB::GetNextCompaction and then uses that for rate limiting db_bench
Summary:
Adds a method that returns the score for the next level that most
needs compaction. That method is then used by db_bench to rate limit threads.
Threads are put to sleep at the end of each stats interval until the score
is less than the limit. The limit is set via the --rate_limit=$double option.
The specified value must be > 1.0. Also adds the option --stats_per_interval
to enable additional metrics reported every stats interval.

Dhruba Borthakur 1ca0584345 This is the mega-patch multi-threaded compaction
published in https://reviews.facebook.net/D5997.

Summary:
This patch allows compaction to occur in multiple background threads
concurrently.

If a manual compaction is issued, the system falls back to a
single-compaction-thread model. This is done to ensure correctess
and simplicity of code. When the manual compaction is finished,
the system resumes its concurrent-compaction mode automatically.

The updates to the manifest are done via group-commit approach.

Test Plan: run db_bench
