2012-06-22ntdb: respect TDB_NO_FSYNC flag for 'make test'Rusty Russell1-2/+2
This reduces test time from 31 seconds to 6, on my laptop. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2012-06-19ntdb: optimize ntdb_fetch.Rusty Russell1-1/+1
We access the key on lookup, then access the data in the caller. It makes more sense to access both at once. We also put in a likely() for the case where the hash is not chained.

2012-06-19ntdb: remove hash table trees.Rusty Russell1-3/+4
TDB2 started with a top-level hash of 1024 entries, divided into 128 groups of 8 buckets. When a bucket filled, the 8 bucket group expanded into pointers into 8 new 64-entry hash tables. When these filled, they expanded in turn, etc. It's a nice idea to automatically expand the hash tables, but it doesn't pay off. Remove it for NTDB. 1) It only beats TDB performance when the database is huge and the TDB hashsize is small. We are about 20% slower on medium-size databases (1000 to 10000 records), worse on really small ones. 2) Since we're 64 bits, our hash tables are already twice as expensive as TDB. 3) Since our hash function is good, it means that all groups tend to fill at the same time, meaning the hash enlarges by a factor of 128 all at once, leading to a very large database at that point. 4) Our efficiency would improve if we enlarged the top level, but that makes our minimum db size even worse: it's already over 8k, and jumps to 1M after about 1000 entries! 5) Making the sub group size larger gives a shallower tree, which performs better, but makes the "hash explosion" problem worse. 6) The code is complicated, having to handle delete and reshuffling groups of hash buckets, and expansion of buckets. 7) We have to handle the case where all the records somehow end up with the same hash value, which requires special code to chain records for that case. On the other hand, it would be nice if we didn't degrade as badly as TDB does when the hash chains get long. This patch removes the hash-growing code, but instead of chaining like TDB does when a bucket fills, we point the bucket to an array of record pointers. Since each on-disk NTDB pointer contains some hash bits from the record (we steal the upper 8 bits of the offset), 99.5% of the time we don't need to load the record to determine if it matches. This makes an array of offsets much more cache-friendly than a linked list. Here are the times (in ns) for tdb_store of N records, tdb_store of N records the second time, and a fetch of all N records. I've also included the final database size and the smbtorture local.[n]tdb_speed results. Benchmark details: 1) Compiled with -O2. 2) assert() was disabled in TDB2 and NTDB. 3) The "optimize fetch" patch was applied to NTDB. 10 runs, using tmpfs (otherwise massive swapping as db hits ~30M, despite plenty of RAM).

NTDB is about 15% larger than TDB1
2012-06-19ntdb: create initial database to be multiple of NTDB_PGSIZE.Rusty Russell1-1/+10
As copied from tdb1, there is logic in the transaction code to handle a non-PGSIZE multiple db, but in fact this only happens for a completely unused database: as soon as we add anything to it, it is expanded to a NTDB_PGSIZE multiple. If we create the database with a free record which pads it out to NTDB_PGSIZE, we can remove this last-page-is-different logic. Of course, the fake ntdbs we create in our tests now also need to be multiples of NTDB_PGSIZE, so we change some numbers there too. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2012-06-19ntdb: make sure file is always a multiple of PAGESIZE (now NTDB_PGSIZE)Rusty Russell1-5/+11
ntdb uses tdb's transaction code, and it has an undocumented but implicit assumption: that the transaction recovery area is always aligned to the transaction pagesize. This means that no block will overlap the recovery area. This is maintained by rounding the size of the database up, so do the same for ntdb. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2012-06-19TDB2: Goodbye TDB2, Hello NTDB.Rusty Russell1-0/+72
This renames everything from tdb2 to ntdb: importantly, we no longer use the tdb_ namespace, so you can link against both ntdb and tdb if you want to. This also enables building of standalone ntdb by the autobuild script. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
