Since we started accounting virtual dirty memory we no longer have a cap
on real dirty memory. In most situations that is not needed, since real
dirty will just be at most twice as much as virtual dirty (current
flushing memtable plus new memtable).
However, due to things like cache updates and component flushing we can
end up having a lot of memtables that are virtually freed but not yet
fully released, leading real dirty memory to explode using all the box'
memory.
This patch adds a cap on real dirty memory as well. Because of the
hierarchical nature of region_group, if the parent blocks due to memory
depletion, so will the child (virtual dirty region group).
After that is done, we need to make sure that dirty memory is not seen
as freed until the cache update is done. Until a particular partition is
moved to the cache it is not evictable. As a result we can OOM the
system if we have a lot of pending cache updates as the writes will not
be throttled and memory won't be made available.
This patch pins the memory used by the region as real dirty before the
cache update starts, and unpins it when it is over. In the mean time it
gradually releases memory of the partitions that are being moved to
cache.
I have verified in a couple of workloads that the amount of memory
accounted through this is the same amount of memory accounted through
the memtable flush procedure.

In commit c63e88d556, support was added for
fast_forward_to() in data_consume_rows(). Because an input stream's end
cannot be changed after creation, that patch ignores the specified end
byte, and uses the end of file as the end position of the stream.
As result of this, even when we want to read a specific byte range (e.g.,
in the repair code to checksum the partitions in a given range), the code
reads an entire 128K buffer around the end byte, or significantly more, with
read-ahead enabled. This causes repair to do more than 10 times the amount
of I/O it really has to do in the checksumming phase (which in the current
implementation, reads small ranges of partitions at a time).
This patch has two levels:
1. In the lower level, sstable::data_consume_rows(), which reads all
partitions in a given disk byte range, now gets another byte position,
"last_end". That can be the range's end, the end of the file, or anything
in between the two. It opens the disk stream until last_end, which means
1. we will never read-ahead beyond last_end, and 2. fast_fordward_to() is
not allowed beyond last_end.
2. In the upper level, we add to the various layers of sstable readers,
mutation readers, etc., a boolean flag mutation_reader::forwarding, which
says whether fast_forward_to() is allowed on the stream of mutations to
move the stream to a different partition range.
Note that this flag is separate from the existing boolean flag
streamed_mutation::fowarding - that one talks about skipping inside a
single partition, while the flag we are adding is about switching the
partition range being read. Most of the functions that previously
accepted streamed_mutation::forwarding now accept *also* the option
mutation_reader::forwarding. The exception are functions which are known
to read only a single partition, and not support fast_forward_to() a
different partition range.
We note that if mutation_reader::forwarding::no is requested, and
fast_forward_to() is forbidden, there is no point in reading anything
beyond the range's end, so data_consume_rows() is called with last_end as
the range's end. But if forwarding::yes is requested, we use the end of the
file as last_end, exactly like the code before this patch did.
Importantly, we note that the repair's partition reading code,
column_family::make_streaming_reader, uses mutation_reader::forwarding::no,
while the other existing reading code will use the default forwarding::yes.
In the future, we can further optimize the amount of bytes read from disk
by replacing forwarding::yes by an actual last partition that may ever be
read, and use its byte position as the last_end passed to data_consume_rows.
But we don't do this yet, and it's not a regression from the existing code,
which also opened the file input stream until the end of the file, and not
until the end of the range query. Moreover, such an improvement will not
improve of anything if the overall range is always very large, in which
case not over-reading at its end will not improve performance.

Use per CF-id reference count instead, and use handles as result of
add operations. These must either be explicitly released or stored
(rp_set), or they will release the corresponding replay_position
upon destruction.
Note: this does _not_ remove the replay positioning ordering requirement
for mutations. It just removes it as a means to track segment liveness.
We can make the dependency more abstract by using mutation_source
instead of an sstable.

Issue #1918 describes a problem, in which we are generating smaller
memtables than we could, and therefore not respecting the flush
criteria.
That happens because group sizes (and limits) for pressure purposes, and
the the soft threshold is currently at 40 %. This causes system group's
soft threshold to be way below regular's virtual dirty limit and close
to regular group's soft threshold. The system group was very likely to
become under soft pressure when regular was because writes to regular
group are not yet throttled when they cross both soft thresholds.
This is a direct consequence of the linear hierarchy between the regions
and to guarantee that it won't happen we would have acqire the semaphore
of all ancestor regions when flushing from a child region. While that
works, it can lead to problems on its own, like priority inversion if
the regions have different priorities - like streaming and regular, and
groups lower in the hierarchy, like user, blocking explicit flushes
from their ancestors
To fix that, this patch reorganizes the dirty memory region groups so
that groups are now completely independent. As a disadvantage, when
streaming happen we will draw some memory from the cache, but we will
live with it for the time being.

So that memory is released gradually (impacting latency less) and
sooner than when memtable is destroyed. Active readers may keep the
memtable alive for unbounded amount of time.
Refs #1879
When memtable is flushing, it subtracts _flushed_memory from groups's
size to gradually allow more writes. Ideally _flushed_memory would be
equal to region's size when flush ends, so the group's size would
reach zero. When the memtable and its region are gone the group size
should remain the same as after the flush. This is ensured by adding
back _flushed_memory to group's size right before the region is
removed from the group.
Calling clear() before region is removed from the group breaks the
accounting because it will shrink the region, but will not affect the
amount of memory subtracted due to _flushed_memory. So group's size
would decrease more than we want (twice the region's size). The fix is
to change clear() so that it reverts _flushed_memory by the amount by
which the region size is reduced. This will keep the groups's size
constant as long as _flushed_memory > 0.
The implementation assumes that memtable's region group is owned by
dirty_memory_manager, and tries to obtain a reference to it like this:
boost::intrusive::get_parent_from_member(_region.group(), &dirty_memory_manager::_region_group));
This is undefined behavior when the region's group does not come from
dirty manager. It's safer to be explicit about this dependency by
taking a reference to dirty_memory_manager in the constructor.
We current pass a region group to the memtable, but after so many recent
changes, that is a bit too low level. This patch changes that so we pass
a memtable list instead.
Doing that also has a couple of advantages. Mainly, during flush we must
get to a memtable to a memtable_list. Currently we do that by going to
the memtable to a column family through the schema, and from there to
the memtable_list.
That, however, involves calling virtual functions in a derived class,
because a single column family could have both streaming and normal
memtables. If we pass a memtable_list to the memtable, we can keep
pointer, and when needed get the memtable_list directly.
Not only that gets rid of the inheritance for aesthetic reasons, but
that inheritance is not even correct anymore. Since the introduction of
the big streaming memtables, we now have a plethora of lists per column
family and this transversal is totally wrong. We haven't noticed before
because we were flushing the memtables based on their individual sizes,
but it has been wrong all along for edge cases in which we would have to
resort to size-based flush. This could be the case, for instance, with
various plan_ids in flight at the same time.
At this point, there is no more reason to keep the derived classes for
the dirty_memory_manager. I'm only keeping them around to reduce
clutter, although they are useful for the specialized constructors and
to communicate to the reader exactly what they are. But those can be
removed in a follow up patch if we want.
The old memtable constructor signature is kept around for the benefit of
two tests in memtable_tests which have their own flush logic. In the
future we could do something like we do for the SSTable tests, and have
a proxy class that is friends with the memtable class. That too, is left
for the future.

we'll be driving the flushes internally from the dirty_memory_manager

we'll have a period without significant disk activity when the current

The latest virtual dirty patches broke the SSTable tests. The reason for
this is that those tests will flush synthetic memtables that do not have
a region_group attached to it.
Normally in cases like this we would just give the flush_reader an empty
region group. However, the memtable class constructor takes a
region_group pointer and that can be null according to the interface.
So we must conditionally test it.
If there isn't a region_group involved, the virtual dirty accounting
should be disabled: after all, we won't even have the baseline memory
to begin with.
One of the approaches to fix this could be to just provide null
accounter classes to be used as a surrogate for the accounting classes
in this case. However, since this is mostly used for tests, a much
simpler way is to just revert back to the scanning reader in that case.
The scanning reader is similar enough to the flush_reader, except that
it can handle partial ranges, slices, and delegate accesses to an
sstable post-flush. We don't need any of that, but as argued above,
there is no need to remove it either.

Scylla currently suffers from a brick wall behavior of the request throttler.
Requests pile up until we reach the dirty memory limit, at which point we stop
serving them until we have freed enough memory to allow for more requests.
The problem is that freeing dirty memory means writing an SSTable to completion.
That can take a long time, even if we are blessed with great disks. Those long
waiting times can and will translate into timeouts. That is bad behavior.
What this patch does is introduce one form of virtual dirty memory accounting.
Instead of allowing 100 % of the dirty memory to be filled up until we stop
accepting requests, we will do that when we reach 50 % of memory. However,
instead of releasing requests only when an SSTable is fully written, we start
releasing them when some memory was written.
The practical effect of that is that once we reach 50 % occupancy in our dirty
memory region, we will bring the system from CPU speed to disk speed, and will
start accepting requests only at the rate we are able to write memory back.
