This is beneficial when iterators are reused and seeks are not random
but increasing. It is additionally beneficial with larger block sizes and keys with common prefixes.
Add a benchmark "seekordered" to db_bench that reuses iterators across
increasing seeks. Add support to the benchmark to count comparisons made and to support common key prefix length. Change benchmark random seeds to be reproducible for entire benchmark suite executions but unique for threads in different benchmarks runs. This changes a benchmark suite of readrandom,seekrandom from having a 100% found ratio as previously it had the same seed used for fillrandom.
./db_bench --benchmarks=fillrandom,compact,seekordered --block_size=262144 --comparisons=1 --key_prefix=100
without this change (though with benchmark changes):
seekrandom : 55.309 micros/op; (631820 of 1000000 found)
Comparisons: 27001049
seekordered : 1.732 micros/op; (631882 of 1000000 found)
Comparisons: 26998402
with this change:
seekrandom : 55.866 micros/op; (631820 of 1000000 found)
Comparisons: 26952143
seekordered : 1.686 micros/op; (631882 of 1000000 found)
Comparisons: 25549369
For ordered seeking, this is a reduction of 5% comparisons and a 3% speedup. For random seeking (with single use iterators) the comparisons and speed are less than 1% and likely noise.

leveldb::Env::DeleteFile was replaced with leveldb::Env::RemoveFile in
all tests. This allows us to remove workarounds for windows.h #defining
DeleteFile.
PiperOrigin-RevId: 289121105
The "DeleteFile" method name causes pain for Windows developers, because
<windows.h> #defines a DeleteFile macro to DeleteFileW or DeleteFileA.
Current code uses workarounds, like #undefining DeleteFile everywhere an
Env is declared, implemented, or used.
This CL removes the need for workarounds by renaming Env::DeleteFile to
Env::RemoveFile. For consistency, Env::DeleteDir is also renamed to
Env::RemoveDir. A few internal methods are also renamed for consistency.
Software that supports Windows is expected to migrate any Env
implementations and usage to Remove{File,Dir}, and never use the name
Env::Delete{File,Dir} in its code.
The renaming is done in a backwards-compatible way, at the risk of
making it slightly more difficult to build a new correct Env
implementation. The backwards compatibility is achieved using the
following hacks:
1) Env::Remove{File,Dir} methods are added, with a default
implementation that calls into Env::Delete{File,Dir}. This makes old
Env implementations compatible with code that calls into the updated
API.
2) The Env::Delete{File,Dir} methods are no longer pure virtuals.
Instead, they gain a default implementation that calls into
Env::Remove{File,Dir}. This makes updated Env implementations
compatible with code that calls into the old API.
The cost of this approach is that it's possible to write an Env without
overriding either Rename{File,Dir} or Delete{File,Dir}, without getting
a compiler warning. However, attempting to run the test suite will
immediately fail with an infinite call stack ending in
{Remove,Delete}{File,Dir}, making developers aware of the problem.

Currently, the benchmark used to assess leveldb changes lives in db/. The codebase also contains two benchmarks against other database engines in doc/bench/. Moving all the benchmarks in one place opens up the way for extracting common code.

Use clang-format to correct formatting to be in agreement with the [Google C++ Style Guide](https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html). Doing this simplifies the process of accepting changes. Also fixed a few warnings flagged by clang-tidy.

There were a few members which were identified to have been left
uninitialized in some constructors. These were very likely to
have been set before being used, otherwise the ASan tests would
have caught them, but still good practice to have them
initialized. This addresses some items reported in issue #668.

This CL removes AtomicPointer from leveldb's port interface. Its usage is replaced with std::atomic<> from the C++11 standard library.
AtomicPointer was used to wrap flags, numbers, and pointers, so its instances are replaced with std::atomic<bool>, std::atomic<int>, std::atomic<size_t> and std::atomic<Node*>.
This CL does not revise the memory ordering. AtomicPointer's methods are replaced mechanically with their std::atomic equivalents, even when the underlying usage is incorrect. (Example: DBImpl::has_imm_ is written using release stores, even though it is always read using relaxed ordering.) Revising the memory ordering is left for future CLs.

After this CL, all classes with Mutex members should be covered by annotations. Exceptions are atomic members, which shouldn't need locking, and DBImpl members that cause errors when annotated, which will be tackled separately.

(Based on a suggestion by cmumford.)
"open" benchmark on my workstation speeds up significantly since we
can now avoid three fdatasync calls and a compaction per open:
Before: ~80000 microseconds
After: ~130 microseconds
Details:
(1) Added Options::reuse_logs (currently defaults to false) to control
new behavior. The intention is to change the default to true after some
baking.
(2) Added Env::NewAppendableFile() whose default implementation returns
a not-supported error.
(3) VersionSet::Recovery attempts to reuse the MANIFEST from which
it is recovering.
(4) DBImpl recovery attempts to reuse the last log file and memtable.
(5) db_test.cc now tests a new configuration that sets reuse_logs to true.
(6) fault_injection_test also tests a reuse_logs==true config.
(7) Added a new recovery_test.
Changes are:
* Update version number to 1.18
* Replace the basic fprintf call with a call to fwrite in order to
work around the apparent compiler optimization/rewrite failure that we are
seeing with the new toolchain/iOS SDKs provided with Xcode6 and iOS8.
* Fix ALL the header guards.
* Createed a README.md with the LevelDB project description.
* A new CONTRIBUTING file.
* Don't implicitly convert uint64_t to size_t or int. Either preserve it as
uint64_t, or explicitly cast. This fixes MSVC warnings about possible value
truncation when compiling this code in Chromium.
* Added a DumpFile() library function that encapsulates the guts of the
"leveldbutil dump" command. This will allow clients to dump
data to their log files instead of stdout. It will also allow clients to
supply their own environment.
* leveldb: Remove unused function 'ConsumeChar'.
* leveldbutil: Remove unused member variables from WriteBatchItemPrinter.
* OpenBSD, NetBSD and DragonflyBSD have _LITTLE_ENDIAN, so define
PLATFORM_IS_LITTLE_ENDIAN like on FreeBSD. This fixes:
* issue #143
* issue #198
* issue #249
* Switch from <cstdatomic> to <atomic>. The former never made it into the
standard and doesn't exist in modern gcc versions at all. The later contains
everything that leveldb was using from the former.
This problem was noticed when porting to Portable Native Client where no memory
barrier is defined. The fact that <cstdatomic> is missing normally goes
unnoticed since memory barriers are defined for most architectures.
* Make Hash() treat its input as unsigned. Before this change LevelDB files
from platforms with different signedness of char were not compatible. This
change fixes: issue #243
* Verify checksums of index/meta/filter blocks when paranoid_checks set.
* Invoke all tools for iOS with xcrun. (This was causing problems with the new
XCode 5.1.1 image on pulse.)
* include <sys/stat.h> only once, and fix the following linter warning:
"Found C system header after C++ system header"
* When encountering a corrupted table file, return Status::Corruption instead of
Status::InvalidArgument.
* Support cygwin as build platform, patch is from https://code.google.com/p/leveldb/issues/detail?id=188
* Fix typo, merge patch from https://code.google.com/p/leveldb/issues/detail?id=159
* Fix typos and comments, and address the following two issues:
* issue #166
* issue #241
* Add missing db synchronize after "fillseq" in the benchmark.
* Removed unused variable in SeekRandom: value (issue #201)
- switched from mmap based writing to simpler stdio based writing. Has a
minor impact (0.5 microseconds) on microbenchmarks for asynchronous
writes. Synchronous writes speed up from 30ms to 10ms on linux/ext4.
Should be much more reliable on diverse platforms.
- compaction errors now immediately put the database into a read-only
mode (until it is re-opened). As a downside, a disk going out of
space and then space being created will require a re-open to recover
from, whereas previously that would happen automatically. On the
plus side, many corruption possibilities go away.
- force the DB to enter an error-state so that all future writes fail
when a synchronous log write succeeds but the sync fails.
- repair now regenerates sstables that exhibit problems
- fix issue 218 - Use native memory barriers on OSX
- fix issue 212 - QNX build is broken
- fix build on iOS with xcode 5
- make tests compile and pass on windows
Highlights
----------
Mmap at most 1000 files on Posix to improve performance for large databases.
Support for more architectures (thanks to Alexander K.)

Sparc v9 support (issue 124)
Atomic ops for powerpc
Use -fno-builtin-memcmp only when using g++
Simplify IOS build rules (issue 114)
Use CXXFLAGS instead of CFLAGS when invoking C++ compiler (issue 118)
Fix snappy shared library problem (issue 94)

Performance
-----------
Limit number of mmapped files to 1000 to improve perf for large dbs
Do not delay for 1 second on shutdown path (issue 125)
Misc
----
Make InMemoryEnv return a no-op logger
C binding now has a wrapper for free (issue 117)
Add thread-safety annotations
Added an in-process lock table (issue 120)
Make RandomAccessFile and SequentialFile non-copyable
various platforms; improve android port speed.
Avoid static initializer by using a new portability interface for
thread-safe lazy initialization. Custom ports will need to be
extended to implement InitOnce/OnceType/LEVELDB_ONCE_INIT.
Fix endian-ness detection (fixes Powerpc builds).
Build related fixes:
- Support platforms that have unversioned shared libraries.
- Fix IOS build rules.
Android improvements
- Speed up atomic pointers
- Share more code with port_posix.
Do not spin in a tight loop attempting compactions if the file system
is inaccessible (e.g., if kerberos tickets have expired or if it is out
of space).
In particular, we add a new FilterPolicy class. An instance
of this class can be supplied in Options when opening a
database. If supplied, the instance is used to generate
summaries of keys (e.g., a bloom filter) which are placed in
sstables. These summaries are consulted by DB::Get() so we
can avoid reading sstable blocks that are guaranteed to not
contain the key we are looking for.
This change provides one implementation of FilterPolicy
based on bloom filters.
Other changes:
- Updated version number to 1.4.
- Some build tweaks.
- C binding for CompactRange.
- A few more benchmarks: deleteseq, deleterandom, readmissing, seekrandom.
- Minor .gitignore update.
- Replace raw slice comparison with a call to user comparator.
Added test for custom comparators.
- Fix end of namespace comments.
- Fixed bug in picking inputs for a level-0 compaction.
When finding overlapping files, the covered range may expand
as files are added to the input set. We now correctly expand
the range when this happens instead of continuing to use the
old range. For example, suppose L0 contains files with the
following ranges:
F1: a .. d
F2: c .. g
F3: f .. j
and the initial compaction target is F3. We used to search
for range f..j which yielded {F2,F3}. However we now expand
the range as soon as another file is added. In this case,
when F2 is added, we expand the range to c..j and restart the
search. That picks up file F1 as well.
This change fixes a bug related to deleted keys showing up
incorrectly after a compaction as described in Issue 44.
(Sync with upstream @25072954)
- Added DB::CompactRange() method.
Changed manual compaction code so it breaks up compactions of
big ranges into smaller compactions.
Changed the code that pushes the output of memtable compactions
to higher levels to obey the grandparent constraint: i.e., we
must never have a single file in level L that overlaps too
much data in level L+1 (to avoid very expensive L-1 compactions).
Added code to pretty-print internal keys.
- Fixed bug where we would not detect overlap with files in
level-0 because we were incorrectly using binary search
on an array of files with overlapping ranges.
Added "leveldb.sstables" property that can be used to dump
all of the sstables and ranges that make up the db state.
- Removing post_write_snapshot support. Email to leveldb mailing
list brought up no users, just confusion from one person about
what it meant.
- Fixing static_cast char to unsigned on BIG_ENDIAN platforms.
Fixes Issue 35 and Issue 36.
- Comment clarification to address leveldb Issue 37.
- Change license in posix_logger.h to match other files.
- A build problem where uint32 was used instead of uint32_t.
Sync with upstream @24408625
- Fix bug in Get: when it triggers a compaction, it could sometimes
mark the compaction with the wrong level (if there was a gap
in the set of levels examined for the Get).
- Do not hold mutex while writing to the log file or to the
MANIFEST file.
Added a new benchmark that runs a writer thread concurrently with
reader threads.

- Fixed race in optimized Get. It should have been using the
pinned memtables, not the current memtables.
git-svn-id: https://leveldb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@50 62dab493-f737-651d-591e-8d6aee1b9529
- Fix for issue 33 (non-null-terminated result from
leveldb_property_value())
- Support for running multiple instances of a benchmark in parallel.
- Reduce lock contention on Get():
(1) Do not hold the lock while searching memtables.
(2) Shard block and table caches 16-ways.
Benchmark for evaluating this change:
$ db_bench --benchmarks=fillseq1,readrandom --threads=$n
(fillseq1 is a small hack to make sure fillseq runs once regardless
of number of threads specified on the command line).
git-svn-id: https://leveldb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@49 62dab493-f737-651d-591e-8d6aee1b9529
- Removed one copy of an uncompressed block contents changing
the signature of Snappy_Uncompress() so it uncompresses into a
flat array instead of a std::string.
Speeds up readrandom ~10%.
- Instead of a combination of Env/WritableFile, we now have a
Logger interface that can be easily overridden applications
that want to supply their own logging.
- Separated out the gcc and Sun Studio parts of atomic_pointer.h
so we can use 'asm', 'volatile' keywords for Sun Studio.
git-svn-id: https://leveldb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@39 62dab493-f737-651d-591e-8d6aee1b9529
- Implemented Get() directly instead of building on top of a full
merging iterator stack. This speeds up the "readrandom" benchmark
by up to 15-30%.
- Fixed an opensource compilation problem.
Added --db=<name> flag to control where the database is placed.
- Automatically compact a file when we have done enough
overlapping seeks to that file.
- Fixed a performance bug where we would read from at least one
file in a level even if none of the files overlapped the key
being read.
- Makefile fix for Mac OSX installations that have XCode 4 without XCode 3.
- Unified the two occurrences of binary search in a file-list
into one routine.
- Found and fixed a bug where we would unnecessarily search the
last file when looking for a key larger than all data in the
level.
- A fix to avoid the need for trivial move compactions and
therefore gets rid of two out of five syncs in "fillseq".
- Removed the MANIFEST file write when switching to a new
memtable/log-file for a 10-20% improvement on fill speed on ext4.
- Adding a SNAPPY setting in the Makefile for folks who have
Snappy installed. Snappy compresses values and speeds up writes.
