Default/nil quick.Config uses 1000 rounds, causing TestBucker_Put_Single to
run for over 3 minutes in CI. The default count (via qconfig()) for boltdb
is 5, so use that.
When the database has a lot of freepages, the cost to sync all
freepages down to disk is high. If the total database size is
small (<10GB), and the application can tolerate ~10 seconds
recovery time, then it is reasonable to simply not sync freelist
and rescan the db to rebuild freelist on recovery.
Read txns would lock pages allocated after the txn, keeping those pages
off the free list until closing the read txn. Instead, track allocating
txid to compute page lifetime, freeing pages if all txns between
page allocation and page free are closed.
Quick seed 21691 used to generate duplicate keys,
which caused some Puts of values to overwrite other values,
causing spurious test failures.
Fixes#629.
The existing append-based implementation left a hanging reference to
the last tx.
For example, if db.txs was:
[]*Tx{0x1, 0x2, 0x3, 0x4, 0x5}
and we removed the second element, db.txs would now be:
[]*Tx{0x1, 0x3, 0x4, 0x5, 0x5}[:4]
The garbage collector cannot reclaim anything anywhere in a slice,
even pointers between its len and cap, because the len can always
be extended up to the cap.
This hanging reference to the Tx could last indefinitely,
and since the Tx has a reference to user-provided functions,
which could be closures, this bug could prevent arbitrary
amounts of user garbage from being collected.
Since db.txs is unordered anyway, switch to a simpler--and O(1) instead
of O(n)--implementation. Swap the last element into the spot to be
deleted, nil out the original last element, and shrink the slice.
Using a large (50gb) database with a read-write-delete heavy load,
nearly 100% of allocated space came from freelists.
1/3 came from freelist.release, 1/3 from freelist.write,
and 1/3 came from tx.allocate to make space for freelist.write.
In the case of freelist.write, the newly allocated giant slice gets
copied to the space prepared by tx.allocate and then discarded.
To avoid this, add func mergepgids that accepts a destination slice,
and use it in freelist.write.
This has a mild negative impact on the existing benchmarks,
but cuts allocated space in my real world db by over 30%.
