Added BlockCache to HFile reader.

Change Logs

HBase 2.4+ does not allocate a block cache automatically within the CacheConfig but requires a BlockCache instance to be passed in. This is different from HBase 1.x where CacheConfig allocated and used a static global BlockCache instance.

BlockCache speeds up lookup from the HFile. To emulate the behavior of
HBase 1.x, we will allocate a global static global block cache here if
it is enabled. The BlockCache can be controlle via hfile configs passed
via hadoop configuration to the process.

Logs which show BlockCache was allocated

[Driver] BlockCacheFactory: Allocating BlockCache size=3.20 GB, blockSize=64 KB
[Driver] HoodieAvroHFileReader: Allocated a new global block cache for hfile readers LruBlockCache{blockCount=0, currentSize=2.40 MB, freeSize=3.20 GB, maxSize=3.20 GB, heapSize=2.40 MB, minSize=3.04 GB, minFactor=0.95, multiSize=1.52 GB, multiFactor=0.5, singleSize=778.24 MB, 

singleFactor=0.25}

Test Plan:
Tested using a perf tool to lookup 10K keys from RI. With BlockCache enabled, the time is 4x less.

With BlockCache:
[Driver] HoodieRecordIndexPerf: Time to lookup 10000 existing keys: 204462
[Driver] HoodieRecordIndexPerf: Time to lookup 10000 missing keys:   95169

Without BlockCache:
[Driver] HoodieRecordIndexPerf: Time to lookup 10000 existing keys: 817908
[Driver] HoodieRecordIndexPerf: Time to lookup 10000 missing keys: 93470

Impact

Lookups from MDT partitions like RI can be faster.

Risk level (write none, low medium or high below)

If medium or high, explain what verification was done to mitigate the risks.

Documentation Update

Describe any necessary documentation update if there is any new feature, config, or user-facing change. If not, put "none".

  • The config description must be updated if new configs are added or the default value of the configs are changed
  • Any new feature or user-facing change requires updating the Hudi website. Please create a Jira ticket, attach the ticket number here and follow the instruction to make changes to the website.
