…ebook#6007) Summary: Adds an improved, replacement Bloom filter implementation (FastLocalBloom) for full and partitioned filters in the block-based table. This replacement is faster and more accurate, especially for high bits per key or millions of keys in a single filter. Speed The improved speed, at least on recent x86_64, comes from * Using fastrange instead of modulo (%) * Using our new hash function (XXH3 preview, added in a previous commit), which is much faster for large keys and only *slightly* slower on keys around 12 bytes if hashing the same size many thousands of times in a row. * Optimizing the Bloom filter queries with AVX2 SIMD operations. (Added AVX2 to the USE_SSE=1 build.) Careful design was required to support (a) SIMD-optimized queries, (b) compatible non-SIMD code that's simple and efficient, (c) flexible choice of number of probes, and (d) essentially maximized accuracy for a cache-local Bloom filter. Probes are made eight at a time, so any number of probes up to 8 is the same speed, then up to 16, etc. * Prefetching cache lines when building the filter. Although this optimization could be applied to the old structure as well, it seems to balance out the small added cost of accumulating 64 bit hashes for adding to the filter rather than 32 bit hashes. Here's nominal speed data from filter_bench (200MB in filters, about 10k keys each, 10 bits filter data / key, 6 probes, avg key size 24 bytes, includes hashing time) on Skylake DE (relatively low clock speed): $ ./filter_bench -quick -impl=2 -net_includes_hashing # New Bloom filter Build avg ns/key: 47.7135 Mixed inside/outside queries... Single filter net ns/op: 26.2825 Random filter net ns/op: 150.459 Average FP rate %: 0.954651 $ ./filter_bench -quick -impl=0 -net_includes_hashing # Old Bloom filter Build avg ns/key: 47.2245 Mixed inside/outside queries... Single filter net ns/op: 63.2978 Random filter net ns/op: 188.038 Average FP rate %: 1.13823 Similar build time but dramatically faster query times on hot data (63 ns to 26 ns), and somewhat faster on stale data (188 ns to 150 ns). Performance differences on batched and skewed query loads are between these extremes as expected. The only other interesting thing about speed is "inside" (query key was added to filter) vs. "outside" (query key was not added to filter) query times. The non-SIMD implementations are substantially slower when most queries are "outside" vs. "inside". This goes against what one might expect or would have observed years ago, as "outside" queries only need about two probes on average, due to short-circuiting, while "inside" always have num_probes (say 6). The problem is probably the nastily unpredictable branch. The SIMD implementation has few branches (very predictable) and has pretty consistent running time regardless of query outcome. Accuracy The generally improved accuracy (re: Issue facebook#5857) comes from a better design for probing indices within a cache line (re: Issue facebook#4120) and improved accuracy for millions of keys in a single filter from using a 64-bit hash function (XXH3p). Design details in code comments. Accuracy data (generalizes, except old impl gets worse with millions of keys): Memory bits per key: FP rate percent old impl -> FP rate percent new impl 6: 5.70953 -> 5.69888 8: 2.45766 -> 2.29709 10: 1.13977 -> 0.959254 12: 0.662498 -> 0.411593 16: 0.353023 -> 0.0873754 24: 0.261552 -> 0.0060971 50: 0.225453 -> ~0.00003 (less than 1 in a million queries are FP) Fixes facebook#5857 Fixes facebook#4120 Unlike the old implementation, this implementation has a fixed cache line size (64 bytes). At 10 bits per key, the accuracy of this new implementation is very close to the old implementation with 128-byte cache line size. If there's sufficient demand, this implementation could be generalized. Compatibility Although old releases would see the new structure as corrupt filter data and read the table as if there's no filter, we've decided only to enable the new Bloom filter with new format_version=5. This provides a smooth path for automatic adoption over time, with an option for early opt-in. Pull Request resolved: facebook#6007 Test Plan: filter_bench has been used thoroughly to validate speed, accuracy, and correctness. Unit tests have been carefully updated to exercise new and old implementations, as well as the logic to select an implementation based on context (format_version).

We have a use-case that want to have lower False Positive rates with large BloomFilter size. (As we're using FIFO compaction, so there're large number of L0 sstable files, which needs to be filtered out by BF). Currently, even we set the
bits_per_keyfrom default 10 to 250, we only get 0.178% FP rates. We believe it could do better.cc. @siying, @pdillinger
