Peter Dillinger 0f91c72adc Call experimental new clock cache HyperClockCache (#10684)
Summary:
This change establishes a distinctive name for the experimental new lock-free clock cache (originally developed by guidotag and revamped in PR https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/10626). A few reasons:
* We want to make it clear that this is a fundamentally different implementation vs. the old clock cache, to avoid people saying "I already tried clock cache."
* We want to highlight the key feature: it's fast (especially under parallel load)
* Because it requires an estimated charge per entry, it is not drop-in API compatible with old clock cache. This estimate might always be required for highest performance, and giving it a distinct name should reduce confusion about the distinct API requirements.
* We might develop a variant requiring the same estimate parameter but with LRU eviction. In that case, using the name HyperLRUCache should make things more clear. (FastLRUCache is just a prototype that might soon be removed.)

Some API detail:
* To reduce copy-pasting parameter lists, etc. as in LRUCache construction, I have a `MakeSharedCache()` function on `HyperClockCacheOptions` instead of `NewHyperClockCache()`.
* Changes -cache_type=clock_cache to -cache_type=hyper_clock_cache for applicable tools. I think this is more consistent / sustainable for reasons already stated.

Peter Dillinger 5724348689 Revamp, optimize new experimental clock cache (#10626)
Summary:
* Consolidates most metadata into a single word per slot so that more
can be accomplished with a single atomic update. In the common case,
Lookup was previously about 4 atomic updates, now just 1 atomic update.
Common case Release was previously 1 atomic read + 1 atomic update,
now just 1 atomic update.
* Eliminate spins / waits / yields, which likely threaten some "lock free"
benefits. Compare-exchange loops are only used in explicit Erase, and
strict_capacity_limit=true Insert. Eviction uses opportunistic compare-
exchange.
* Relaxes some aggressiveness and guarantees. For example,
  * Duplicate Inserts will sometimes go undetected and the shadow duplicate
    will age out with eviction.
  * In many cases, the older Inserted value for a given cache key will be kept
  (i.e. Insert does not support overwrite).
  * Entries explicitly erased (rather than evicted) might not be freed
  immediately in some rare cases.
  * With strict_capacity_limit=false, capacity limit is not tracked/enforced as
  precisely as LRUCache, but is self-correcting and should only deviate by a
  very small number of extra or fewer entries.
* Use smaller "computed default" number of cache shards in many cases,
because benefits to larger usage tracking / eviction pools outweigh the small
cost of more lock-free atomic contention. The improvement in CPU and I/O
is dramatic in some limit-memory cases.
* Even without the sharding change, the eviction algorithm is likely more
effective than LRU overall because it's more stateful, even though the
"hot path" state tracking for it is essentially free with ref counting. It
is like a generalized CLOCK with aging (see code comments). I don't have
performance numbers showing a specific improvement, but in theory, for a
Poisson access pattern to each block, keeping some state allows better
estimation of time to next access (Poisson interval) than strict LRU. The
bounded randomness in CLOCK can also reduce "cliff" effect for repeated
range scans approaching and exceeding cache size.

## Hot path algorithm comparison
Rough descriptions, focusing on number and kind of atomic operations:
* Old `Lookup()` (2-5 atomic updates per probe):
```
Loop:
  Increment internal ref count at slot
  If possible hit:
    Check flags atomic (and non-atomic fields)
    If cache hit:
      Three distinct updates to 'flags' atomic
      Increment refs for internal-to-external
      Return
  Decrement internal ref count
while atomic read 'displacements' > 0
```
* New `Lookup()` (1-2 atomic updates per probe):
```
Loop:
  Increment acquire counter in meta word (optimistic)
  If visible entry (already read meta word):
    If match (read non-atomic fields):
      Return
    Else:
      Decrement acquire counter in meta word
  Else if invisible entry (rare, already read meta word):
    Decrement acquire counter in meta word
while atomic read 'displacements' > 0
```
* Old `Release()` (1 atomic update, conditional on atomic read, rarely more):
```
Read atomic ref count
If last reference and invisible (rare):
  Use CAS etc. to remove
  Return
Else:
  Decrement ref count
```
* New `Release()` (1 unconditional atomic update, rarely more):
```
Increment release counter in meta word
If last reference and invisible (rare):
  Use CAS etc. to remove
  Return
```

## Performance test setup
Build DB with
```
TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm ./db_bench -benchmarks=fillrandom -num=30000000 -disable_wal=1 -bloom_bits=16
```
Test with
```
TEST_TMPDIR=/dev/shm ./db_bench -benchmarks=readrandom -readonly -num=30000000 -bloom_bits=16 -cache_index_and_filter_blocks=1 -cache_size=${CACHE_MB}000000 -duration 60 -threads=$THREADS -statistics
```
Numbers on a single socket Skylake Xeon system with 48 hardware threads, DEBUG_LEVEL=0 PORTABLE=0. Very similar story on a dual socket system with 80 hardware threads. Using (every 2nd) Fibonacci MB cache sizes to sample the territory between powers of two. Configurations:

base: LRUCache before this change, but with db_bench change to default cache_numshardbits=-1 (instead of fixed at 6)
folly: LRUCache before this change, with folly enabled (distributed mutex) but on an old compiler (sorry)
gt_clock: experimental ClockCache before this change
new_clock: experimental ClockCache with this change

## Performance test results
First test "hot path" read performance, with block cache large enough for whole DB:

Whether we have just one thread on a quiet system or an overload of threads, the new version wins every time in thousand-ops per second, sometimes dramatically so. Mutex-based implementation quickly becomes contention-limited. New clock cache shows essentially perfect scaling up to number of physical cores (24), and then each hyperthreaded core adding about 1/4 the throughput of an additional physical core (see 48 thread case). Block cache miss rates (omitted above) are negligible across the board. With partitioned instead of full filters, the maximum speed-up vs. base is more like 2.5x rather than 5x.

Now test a large block cache with low miss ratio, but some eviction is required:

The new version is still winning every time, sometimes dramatically so, and we can tell from the maximum resident memory numbers (which contain some noise, by the way) that the new cache is not cheating on memory usage. IMPORTANT: The previous generation experimental clock cache appears to hit a serious bottleneck in the higher thread count configurations, presumably due to some of its waiting functionality. (The same bottleneck is not seen with partitioned index+filters.)

Now we consider even smaller cache sizes, with higher miss ratios, eviction work, etc.

^ Now something interesting has happened: the new clock cache has gained a dramatic lead in the single-threaded case, and this is because the cache is so small, and full filters are so big, that dividing the cache into 64 shards leads to significant (random) imbalances in cache shards and excessive churn in imbalanced shards. This new clock cache only uses two shards for this configuration, and that helps to ensure that entries are part of a sufficiently big pool that their eviction order resembles the single-shard order. (This effect is not seen with partitioned index+filters.)

Even smaller cache size:

As the miss ratio gets higher (say, above 10%), the CPU time spent in eviction starts to erode the advantage of using fewer shards (13% miss rate much lower than 94%). LRU's O(1) eviction time can eventually pay off when there's enough block cache churn:

gt_clock is clearly blowing way past its memory budget for lower miss rates and best throughput. new_clock also seems to be exceeding budgets, and this warrants more investigation but is not the use case we are targeting with the new cache. With partitioned index+filter, the miss ratio is much better, and although still high enough that the eviction CPU time is definitely offsetting mutex contention:

Guido Tagliavini Ponce a0798f6f92 Enable ClockCache in DB block cache test (#10482)
Summary:
A test in db_block_cache_test.cc was skipping ClockCache due to the 16-byte key length requirement. We fixed this. Along the way, we fixed a bug in ApplyToSomeEntries, which assumed the function being applied could modify handle metadata, and thus took an exclusive reference. This is incompatible with calls that need to inspect every element (including externally referenced ones) to gather stats.

Guido Tagliavini Ponce d976f68977 Fix assertion failure and memory leak in ClockCache. (#10430)
Summary:
This fixes two issues:
- [T127355728](https://www.internalfb.com/intern/tasks/?t=127355728): In the stress tests, when the ClockCache is operating close to full capacity and a burst of inserts are concurrently executed, every slot in the hash table may become occupied. This contradicts an assertion in the code, which is no longer valid in the lock-free setting. We are removing that assertion and handling the case of an insertion into a full table.
- [T127427659](https://www.internalfb.com/intern/tasks/?t=127427659): There was a memory leak when an insertion is performed over capacity, but no handle is provided. In that case, a handle was dynamically allocated, but the pointer wasn't stored anywhere.

Guido Tagliavini Ponce 9d7de6517c Towards a production-quality ClockCache (#10418)
Summary:
In this PR we bring ClockCache closer to production quality. We implement the following changes:
1. Fixed a few bugs in ClockCache.
2. ClockCache now fully supports ``strict_capacity_limit == false``: When an insertion over capacity is commanded, we allocate a handle separately from the hash table.
3. ClockCache now runs on almost every test in cache_test. The only exceptions are a test where either the LRU policy is required, and a test that dynamically increases the table capacity.
4. ClockCache now supports dynamically decreasing capacity via SetCapacity. (This is easy: we shrink the capacity upper bound and run the clock algorithm.)
5. Old FastLRUCache tests in lru_cache_test.cc are now also used on ClockCache.

As a byproduct of 1. and 2. we are able to turn on ClockCache in the stress tests.

Guido Tagliavini Ponce efdb428edc Lock-free Lookup and Release in ClockCache (#10347)
Summary:
This is a prototype of a partially lock-free version of ClockCache. Roughly speaking, reads are lock-free and writes are lock-based:
- Lookup is lock-free.
- Release is lock-free, unless (i) no references to the element are left and (ii) it was marked for deletion or ``erase_if_last_ref`` is set.
- Insert and Erase still use a per-shard lock.

Guido Tagliavini Ponce 9645e66fc9 Temporarily return a LRUCache from NewClockCache (#10351)
Summary:
ClockCache is still in experimental stage, and currently fails some pre-release fbcode tests. See https://www.internalfb.com/diff/D37772011. API calls to construct ClockCache are done via the function NewClockCache. For now, NewClockCache calls will return an LRUCache (with appropriate arguments), which is stable.

The idea that NewClockCache returns nullptr was also floated, but this would be interpreted as unsupported cache, and a default LRUCache would be constructed instead, potentially causing a performance regression that is harder to identify.

A new version of the NewClockCache function was created for our internal tests.

Guido Tagliavini Ponce c277aeb42c Midpoint insertions in ClockCache (#10305)
Summary:
When an element is first inserted into the ClockCache, it is now assigned either medium or high clock priority, depending on whether its cache priority is low or high, respectively. This is a variant of LRUCache's midpoint insertions. The main difference is that LRUCache can specify the allocated capacity for high-priority elements via the ``high_pri_pool_ratio`` parameter. Contrarily, in ClockCache, low- and high-priority elements compete for all cache slots, and one group can take over the other (of course, it takes more low-priority insertions to push out high-priority elements). However, just as LRUCache, ClockCache provides the following guarantee: a high-priority element will not be evicted before a low-priority element that was inserted earlier in time.

Guido Tagliavini Ponce 57a0e2f304 Clock cache (#10273)
Summary:
This is the initial step in the development of a lock-free clock cache. This PR includes the base hash table design (which we mostly ported over from FastLRUCache) and the clock eviction algorithm. Importantly, it's still _not_ lock-free---all operations use a shard lock. Besides the locking, there are other features left as future work:
- Remove keys from the handles. Instead, use 128-bit bijective hashes of them for handle comparisons, probing (we need two 32-bit hashes of the key for double hashing) and sharding (we need one 6-bit hash).
- Remove the clock_usage_ field, which is updated on every lookup. Even if it were atomically updated, it could cause memory invalidations across cores.
- Middle insertions into the clock list.
- A test that exercises the clock eviction policy.
- Update the Java API of ClockCache and Java calls to C++.

Along the way, we improved the code and comments quality of FastLRUCache. These changes are relatively minor.
