Andrey Vasnetsov 9636944402 feat: require UserData to implement Debug (#9588)
Add a `Debug` supertrait bound to the `UserData` marker trait and propagate
it through the universal-io read pipelines and the read APIs built on them.

This lets pipeline user-data (request ids, point ids, internal read metadata)
be formatted for diagnostics. Wrapper types that carry user data through the
pipelines (`RemoteMeta`, gridstore `ReadMeta`, hashmap `Entry`) gain `Debug`,
and the `U: UserData` bound is threaded through `read_vectors`/`read_payloads`/
`read_values`/`iter_vectors` and their implementors in gridstore and segment.

gridstore

New storage for variable-sized values using mmap.

Design

Storage concepts

  • IDs are sequential integers, starting at 0.
  • The storage is divided into file pages of fixed size (32MB).
  • Data can be written and read across multiple pages.
  • Those pages are mapped into memory using mmap.
  • Data units are blocks of fixed size (128 bytes).
  • Values span an integer number of contiguous blocks.
  • Values are compressed with lz4
  • Each block is mapped to a bit in the bitmask.
  • A region is a fixed number of contiguous blocks.
  • Gaps of free blocks in each region are tracked in a file.
  • Deletes mark the block as deleted (in-memory) & updates their region
  • Updates:
    • not done in place, always a new value is inserted
    • calculation of the new regions gaps is done on the fly
    • the tracker is updated in-memory, only persisted on flush
  • Supports multiple threads reading and single thread writing
  • One file per page, one file for tracker, one file for bitmask, and one file for gaps.

TODOs

  • dictionary compression to optimize payload key repetition
  • validate the usage with a block storage via HTTP range requests
