* Switch to logger
Use logger rather than io:format when logging. The ct tests have besn switched to log to file, testutil/init_per_suite/1 may offer useful guidance on configuring logger with leveled.
As all logs are produced by the leveled_log module, the MFA metadata is uninteresting for log outputs, but can be used for explicit filter controls for leveled logs.
* iolist_to_binary not unicode_binary()
logger filters will be error and be removed if the format line is a binary(). Must be either a charlist() or a unicode_binary() - so iolist_to_binary() can't be used
* Add metadata for filter
* Update test/end_to_end/tictac_SUITE.erl

It is unclear why this varies so much. The time to add to the cache appears to be minimal (but perhaps there is an issue with timing points in the code), whereas the time to add to the index is much more significant and variable. There is also variable time when the memory is rolled (although the actual activity here appears to be minimal.
The refactoring here is two-fold:
- tidy and simplify by keeping LoopState managed within handle_call, and add more helpful dialyzer specs;
- change the update to the index to be a simple extension of a list, rather than any conversion.
This alternative version of the pmem index in unit test is orders of magnitude faster to add - and is the same order of magnitude to check. Anticipation is that it may be more efficient in terms of memory changes.
* Compress SST index
Reduces the size of the leveled_sst index with two changes:
1 - Where there is a common prefix of tuple elements (e.g. Bucket) across the whole leveled_sst file - only the non-common part is indexed, and a function is used to compare.
2 - There is less "indexing" of the index i.e. only 1 in 16 keys are passed into the gb_trees part instead of 1 in 4
* Immediate hibernate
Reasons for delay in hibernate were not clear.
Straight after creation the process will not be in receipt of messages (must wait for the manifest to be updated), so better to hibernate now. This also means the log PC023 provides more accurate information.
* Refactor BIC
This patch avoids the following:
- repeated replacement of the same element in the BIC (via get_kvrange), by checking presence via GET before sing SET
- Stops re-reading of all elements to discover high modified date
Also there appears to have been a bug where a missing HMD for the file is required to add to the cache. However, now the cache may be erased without erasing the HMD. This means that the cache can never be rebuilt
* Use correct size in test results
erts_debug:flat_size/1 returns size in words (i.e. 8 bytes on 64-bit CPU) not bytes
* Don't change summary record
As it is persisted as part of the file write, any change to the summary record cannot be rolled back
* Clerk to prompt L0 write
Simplifies the logic if the clerk request work for the penciller prompts L0 writes as well as Manifest changes.
The advantage now is that if the penciller memory is full, and PUT load stops, the clerk should still be able to prompt persistence. the penciller can therefore make use of dead time this way
* Add push on journal compact
If there has been a backlog, followed by a quiet period - there may be a large ledger cache left unpushed. Journal compaction events are about once per hour, so the performance overhead of a false push should be minimal, with the advantage of clearing any backlog before load starts again.
This is only relevant to riak users with very off/full batch type workloads.
* Extend tests
To more consistently trigger all overload scenarios
* Fix range keys smaller than prefix
Can't make end key an empty binary in this case, as it may be bigger than any keys within the range, but will appear to be smaller.
Unit tests and ct tests added to expose the potential issue
* Tidy-up
- Remove penciller logs which are no longer called
- Get pclerk to only wait MIN_TIMEOUT after doing work, in case there is a backlog
- Remove update_levelzero_cache function as it is unique to handle_call of push_mem, and simple enough to be inline
- Alight testutil slow offer with standard slow offer used
* Tidy-up
Remove pre-otp20 references.
Reinstate the check that the starting pid is still active, this was added to tidy up shutdown.
Resolve failure to run on otp20 due to `-if` sttaement
* Tidy up
Using null rather then {null, Key} is potentially clearer as it is not a concern what they Key is in this case, and removes a comparison step from the leveled_codec:endkey_passed/2 function.
There were issues with coverage in eunit tests as the leveled_pclerk shut down. This prompted a general tidy of leveled_pclerk (remove passing of LoopState into internal functions, and add dialyzer specs.
* Remove R16 relic
* Further testing another issue
The StartKey must always be less than or equal to the prefix when the first N characters are stripped, but this is not true of the EndKey (for the query) which does not have to be between the FirstKey and the LastKey.
If the EndKey query does not match it must be greater than the Prefix (as otherwise it would not have been greater than the FirstKey - so set to null.
* Fix unit test
Unit test had a typo - and result interpretation had a misunderstanding.
* Code and spec tidy
Also look to the cover the situation when the FirstKey is the same as the Prefix with tests.
This is, in theory, not an issue as it is the EndKey for each sublist which is indexed in leveled_tree. However, guard against it mapping to null here, just in case there are dangers lurking (note that tests will still pass without `M > N` guard in place.
* Hibernate on BIC complete
There are three situations when the BIC becomes complete:
- In a file created as part of a merge the BIS is learned in the merge
- After startup, files below L1 learn the block cache through reads that happen to read the block, eventually the while cache will be read, unless...
- Either before/after the cache is complete, it can get whiped by a timeout after a get_sqn request (e.g. as prompted by a journal compaction) ... it will then be re-filled of the back of get/get-range requests.
In all these situations we want to hibernate after the BIC is fill - to reflect the fact that the LoopState should now be relatively stable, so it is a good point to GC and rationalise location of data.
Previously on the the first base was covered. Now all three are covered through the bic_complete message.
* Test all index keys have same term
This works functionally, but is not optimised (the term is replicated in the index)
* Summaries with same index term
If the summary index all have the same index term - only the object keys need to be indexes
* Simplify case statements
We either match the pattern of <<Prefix:N, Suffix>> or the answer should be null
* OK for M == N
If M = N for the first key, it will have a suffix of <<>>. This will match (as expected) a query Start Key of the sam size, and be smaller than any query Start Key that has the same prefix.
If the query Start Key does not match the prefix - it will be null - as it must be smaller than the Prefix (as other wise the query Start Key would be bigger than the Last Key).
The constraint of M > N was introduced before the *_prefix_filter functions were checking the prefix, to avoid issues. Now the prefix is being checked, then M == N is ok.
* Simplify
Correct the test to use a binary field in the range.
To avoid further issue, only apply filter when everything is a binary() type.
* Add test for head_only mode
When leveled is used as a tictacaae key store (in parallel mode), the keys will be head_only entries. Double check they are handled as expected like object keys
* Revert previous change - must support typed buckets
Add assertion to confirm worthwhile optimisation
* Add support for configurable cache multiple (#375)
* Mas i370 patch e (#385)
Improvement to monitoring for efficiency and improved readability of logs and stats.
As part of this, where possible, tried to avoid updating loop state on READ messages in leveled processes (as was the case when tracking stats within each process).
No performance benefits found with change, but improved stats has helped discover other potential gains.
In production scale testing, placing te check_modified call on get_kvrange not get_slots made the performance difference.
It should help in get_lots as well, but unable to reliably get coverage in tests with this. So for now, will leave off until a proper test can be constructed which demonstrates any benefits.
When scanning over a leveled store with a helper (e.g. segment filter and last modified date range), applying the filter will speed up the query when the block index cache is available to get_slots.
If it is not available, previously the leveled_sst did not then promote the cache after it had accessed the underlying blocks.
Now the code does this, and also when the cache has all been added, it extracts the largest last modified date so that sst files older than the passed in date can be immediately dismissed
In giving an empty file a score of 0, a race condition was exposed. A file might not be active, but might still be rolling - and then cna get scored as 0, and immediately compacted. It will then be removed from the journal manifest.
Check each file is not rolling before making it a candidate for rolling.
Two helpers for memory management:
1 - a scan over the cdb file may lead to a lot of binary references being made. So force a GC fater the scan.
2 - the penciller files contain slots that will be frequently read - so advice the page cache to pre-load them on startup.
This is in response to unexpected memory mangement issues in a potentially non-conventional setup - where the erlang VM held a lot of memory (that could be GC'd , in preference to the page cache - and consequently disk I/O and request latency were higher than expected.
Extracting binary from within a binary leaves a reference to the whole of the original binary.
If there are a lot of very large objects received abck toback - this can explode the amount of memory the penciller appears to hold (and gc cannot resolve this).
To dereference from the larger binary, need to do a binary copy
Adds support with test for tuplebuckets in Riak keys.
This exposed that there was no filter using the seglist on the in-mmemory keys. This means that if there is no filter applied in the fold_function, many false positives may emerge.
This is probably not a big performance benefit (and indeed for performance it may be better to apply during the leveled_pmem:merge_trees).
Some thought still required as to what is more likely to contribute to future bugs: an extra location using the hash matching found in leveled_sst, or the extra results in the query.
This helps with kv_index_tictcatree with the leveled_so backend. Now this cna do folds over ranges of keys with modified filters (as folds over ranges of keys must go over lal keys if the backend is segment_ordered)
Which exposed it wasn't working. If there is no segment list passed - just a modification filter, you don't need to check the position list (as checking the position list returns an empty position so sipping all the matching results!)
Proce this works as well as for dollar key. This isn't tested in riak_test currently, but seems illogical not to support it her eif it is supported on $key queries.
As the fold functions have been added to get_runner in an ad hoc way,
naturally, given the ongoing development of levelEd to support Riak,
it was difficult for a new user (in this case Quviq) to see what folds
are supported, and with what arguments, and expectations.
This PR is for discussion. It is one of many ways to group, spec, and
document the fold functions.
A test is also added for coverage of range queries.
An issue was spotted. If we use a segment filter in a query, and there are multiple matches within a given slot - only the first match is returned.
Tests didn't detect this. Now they do, and the issue is resolved.
Provide a function for generating segmentfilter lists so that it can handle trees that are "too small".
Test those smaller trees - plus also false positives and cold caches
Note that accelerating segment_list queries will not work for tree sizes smaller than small. How to flag this up?
Should smaller tree sizes just be removed from leveled_tictac?
Initially with basic tests. If the SlotIndex has been cached, we can now use the slot index as it is based on the Segment hash algortihm.
This looks like it should lead to an order of magnitude improvement in querying for keys/clocks by segment ID.
This also required a slight tweak to the penciller keyfolder. It now caches the next answer from the SSTiter, rather than restart the iterator. When the IMMiter has many more entries than the SSTiter (as the sSTiter is being filtered but not the IMMiter) this could lead to lots of repeated folding.
When leveled is used with Riak, buckets and keys are always binaries. So we can treat them as such.
Want to move tictac tree testing away from the leveled internal tests, to a set of tests for the Riak scenario. so riak_SUITE created for this and other riak-specific backend tests.
