Summary: Background. One of the core risks of chosing HyperClockCache is ending up with degraded performance if estimated_entry_charge is very significantly wrong. Too low leads to under-utilized hash table, which wastes a bit of (tracked) memory and likely increases access times due to larger working set size (more TLB misses). Too high leads to fully populated hash table (at some limit with reasonable lookup performance) and not being able to cache as many objects as the memory limit would allow. In either case, performance degradation is graceful/continuous but can be quite significant. For example, cutting block size in half without updating estimated_entry_charge could lead to a large portion of configured block cache memory (up to roughly 1/3) going unused. Fix. This change adds a mechanism through which the DB periodically probes the block cache(s) for "problems" to report, and adds diagnostics to the HyperClockCache for bad estimated_entry_charge. The periodic probing is currently done with DumpStats / stats_dump_period_sec, and diagnostics reported to info_log (normally LOG file). Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/10965 Test Plan: unit test included. Doesn't cover all the implemented subtleties of reporting, but ensures basics of when to report or not. Also manual testing with db_bench. Create db with ``` ./db_bench --benchmarks=fillrandom,flush --num=3000000 --disable_wal=1 ``` Use and check LOG file for HyperClockCache for various block sizes (used as estimated_entry_charge) ``` ./db_bench --use_existing_db --benchmarks=readrandom --num=3000000 --duration=20 --stats_dump_period_sec=8 --cache_type=hyper_clock_cache -block_size=XXXX ``` Seeing warnings / errors or not as expected.

RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage
RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team. It is built on earlier work on LevelDB by Sanjay Ghemawat (sanjay@google.com) and Jeff Dean (jeff@google.com)
This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast key-value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives. It has a Log-Structured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs between Write-Amplification-Factor (WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF) and Space-Amplification-Factor (SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions, making it especially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.
