The level planner would keep including the same TSM files to be
recompacted even if they were already quite compacted and split
across several TSM files.
Fixes#6683
Switched the max keys test to write int64 of the same value so RLE
would kick in and the file size will be smaller (84MB vs 3.8MB).
Removed the chunking test which was skipped because the code will
not downsize a block into smaller chunks now.
Skip MaxKeys tests in various environments because it needs to
write too much data to run reliably.
If a large series contains a point that is overwritten, the compactor
would load the whole series into RAM during a full compaction. If
the series was large, it could cause very large RAM spikes and OOMs.
The change reworks the compactor to merge blocks more incrementally
similar to the fix done in #6556.
There are two TSMIndex implementations, the directIndex and the
indirectIndex. Originally, we only had the directIndex and later
added the indirectIndex and NewTSMReaderWithOptions in order to
allow both indexes to be used in tests and code. This has created
a problem since we really only use the directIndex for writing and
always use the indirectIndex for reading.
This changes removes the NewTSMReaderWithOptions func so that it is
no longer possible to create a TSMReader with a directIndex. This
will allow a lot of the block reading code used by the directIndex
to be removed and simplify maintainence. It also gives better test
coverage of the code that is actually used by the TSM engine now.
Some data shapes would cause files to grow larger than the max size more
quickly which resulted in them getting skipped by the full compaction planner
at times. Some datasets that could make this happen are very large keys or
very large numbers of keys (10M). When this happened, multiple max sized
files would accumulate but the blocks would not be full. When the shard went
cold for writes, these files would get recompacted down to the optimal size, but
a lot of space would be wasted in the mean time.
This has a few changes in it (unfortuantely). The main change is to run compactions
concurrently. While implementing this, a few query and performance bugs showed up that
are also fixed by this commit.
* Update compaction to look at newest files of the smallest step first
* Update compaction to look at older files in larger steps if newer files don't have enough small steps to compact
* Changed the TestDefaultCompactionPlanner_CombineSequence test to reflect what's possible now. We'd only have multiple files in the same generation if the all files but one were over the max allowable size.
* Clean up the logic on when full compactions are run and when planning can be skipped
* Update Plan to do a full compaction if cold for writes
* Remove MaxFileSize as a config variable from Compactor. Should be a set constant
* Update Plan to keep track of if the last check was fully compacted so we can skip future planning calls
* Update compact min file count to 3 so that compactions run more frequently
* remove rolloverTSMFileSize constant that is no longer used
* remove the maxGenerationFileCount since it is no longer a limitation that's necessary with the new compaction scheme. We no longer read WAL segments as part of the compaction so memory is only used as we read in each individual key
* remove minFileCount and switch to a user configurable variable
* remove the mutex from WALSegmentWriter. There's never more than one open in the WAL at one time and it's not exported through any function so the lock on the WAL should be used. This simplified keeping track of the last write time and removed a bunch of unnecessary locks.
* update WALSegmentWriter.Write to take the compressed bytes so that encoding and compression can occur before the call to write (while we don't hold the WAL lock)
* remove a bunch of unnecessary locking in WAL.writeToLog
* Add check for TSM file magic number and vesion
* Remove old tsm, log, and unused cursor code
* Remove references to tsm1dev everywhere except in the inspector
* Clean up config options for compaction and snapshotting
* Remove old TSM configuration options
* Update the config.sample.toml with TSM options
* Update WAL compact to force if it has been cold for writes for a configurable period of time (1h by default)
* Update cache to have a single slice of values for a key (removed checkpoints)
* Changed compact.Plan to only worry about TSM files.
* Updated Plan to not return an error since there was no case in which it would.
* Update WAL to not keep stats since they're no longer needed.
* Update engine to flush the Cache/WAL to a new TSM file when the min threshold is hit.
* Split compact logic between TSM compacts and WAL/Cache writes.
* Remove unnecessary merge iterator, wal segment iterator, and other no longer necessary stuff.
* Remove the asending bool from the Dedupe method. Values should always be in ascending order. It's up to the cursor to iterate through values based on the direction. Giving the cursor responsibility makes it so we don't need to sort, dedupe or reallocate anything for different query orders.
* Updated engine to use its locks to ensure writes and cache flushes don't cause a race.
* Update all tests with new signatures. Removed a bunch of tests around TSM rewrites and WAL segment iteration that are no longer necessary.
MergeIterator will be used to merge multiple TSM KeyIterators and the
WAL KeyIterator using a stream based iteration approach. Each iteration
cycle returns a key and values ordered in way to write a new TSM file
optimally.
This provides and interface and type to combine multiple WAL segments
in order and then allow the values to be read in an order suitable for
writing to a TSM file.
