Peter Dillinger 93719fc953 Restore file size in backup table file names (and other cleanup) (#7400)
Summary:
Prior to 6.12, backup files using share_files_with_checksum had
the file size encoded in the file name, after the last '\_' and before
the last '.'. We considered this an implementation detail subject to
change, and indeed removed this information from the file name (with an
option to use old behavior) because it was considered
ineffective/inefficient for file name uniqueness. However, some
downstream RocksDB users were relying on this information since the file
size is not explicitly in the backup manifest file.

This primary purpose of this change is "retrofitting" the 6.12 release
(not yet a public release) to simultaneously support the benefits of the
new naming scheme (I/O performance and data correctness at scale) and
preserve the file size information, both as default behaviors. With this
change, we are essentially making the file size information encoded in
the file name an official, though obscure, extension of the backup meta
file format.

We preserve an option (kLegacyCrc32cAndFileSize) to use the original
"legacy" naming scheme, with its caveats, and make it easy to omit the
file size information (no kFlagIncludeFileSize), for more compact file
names. But note that changing the naming scheme used on an existing db
and backup directory can lead to transient space amplification, as some
files will be stored under two names in the shared_checksum directory.
Because some backups were saved using the original 6.12 naming scheme,
we offer two ways of dealing with those files: SST files generated by
older 6.12 versions can either use the default naming scheme in effect
when the SST files were generated (kFlagMatchInterimNaming, default, no
transient space amplification) or can use a new naming scheme (no
kFlagMatchInterimNaming, potential space amplification because some
already stored files getting a new name).

We don't have a natural way to detect which files were generated by
previous 6.12 versions, but this change hacks one in by changing DB
session ids to now use a more concise encoding, reducing file name
length, saving ~dozen bytes from SST files, and making them visually
distinct from DB ids so that they are less likely to be mixed up.

Two final auxiliary notes:
Recognizing that the backup file names have become a de facto part of
the backup meta schema, this change makes them easier to parse and
extend by putting a distinct marker, 's', before DB session ids embedded
in the name. When we extend this to allow custom checksums in the name,
they can get their own marker to ensure safe parsing. For backward
compatibility, file size does not get a marker but is assumed for
`_[0-9]+[.]`

Another change from initial 6.12 default behavior is never including
file custom checksum in the file name. Looking ahead to 6.13, we do not
want the default behavior to cause backup space amplification for
someone turning on file custom checksum checking in BackupEngine; we
want that to be an easy decision. When implemented, including file
custom checksums in backup file names will be a non-default option.

Actual file name patterns and priorities, as regexes:

    kLegacyCrc32cAndFileSize OR pre-6.12 SST file ->
      [0-9]+_[0-9]+_[0-9]+[.]sst
    kFlagMatchInterimNaming set (default) AND early 6.12 SST file ->
      [0-9]+_[0-9a-fA-F-]+[.]sst
    kUseDbSessionId AND NOT kFlagIncludeFileSize ->
      [0-9]+_s[0-9A-Z]{20}[.]sst
    kUseDbSessionId AND kFlagIncludeFileSize (default) ->
      [0-9]+_s[0-9A-Z]{20}_[0-9]+[.]sst

We might add opt-in options for more '\_' separated data in the name,
but embedded file size, if present, will always be after last '\_' and
before '.sst'.

This change was originally applied to version 6.12. (See https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/7390)

RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage

CircleCI Status TravisCI Status Appveyor Build status PPC64le Build Status

RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team. It is built on earlier work on LevelDB by Sanjay Ghemawat (sanjay@google.com) and Jeff Dean (jeff@google.com)

This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast key-value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives. It has a Log-Structured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs between Write-Amplification-Factor (WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF) and Space-Amplification-Factor (SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions, making it especially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.

Start with example usage here: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/tree/master/examples

See the github wiki for more explanation.

The public interface is in include/. Callers should not include or rely on the details of any other header files in this package. Those internal APIs may be changed without warning.

Design discussions are conducted in https://www.facebook.com/groups/rocksdb.dev/ and https://rocksdb.slack.com/
