Reduce performance impact of dict rehashing and make it shorter. (#12899)
#### Problem Statement:
For any read/update operation during rehashing, we're doing ~10+ random
DRAM lookups to do the rehashing, as we are using the `rehashidx` to
rehash 10 buckets, whose dict entries most likely aren't cached in the
CPU or near the bucket we are operating on. If these random bucket are
empty, the rehashing process during that command execution is skipped.

#### Implementation:
For reducing the performance recession while dict is rehashing, we
determine the index at which the key would be stored in the 0th HT, we
check if that index has already been rehashed, if not we will rehash the
bucket containing the key and the bucket will be moved from 0th HT to
the 1st HT.

If the key has already been rehashed, we perform the random access
bucket rehash (using `rehashidx`) and we again verify if rehashing is
still ongoing and look up the key in the respective HT.

This ensures rehashing is not skipped in any command call and that we
rehash a particular bucket or random bucket in each call.

#### Changes in this PR:
- Added a new method `dictBucketRehash` to perform rehash on a single
bucket.
- Helper function `moveKeysInBucketOldtoNew` for `dictRehash` and
`dictBucketRehash` to move all the keys in a bucket from the old to the
new hash HT.
- Helper function `verifyMoreRehashRequired` for `dictRehash` and
`dictBucketRehash` to check if we have already rehashed the whole table
and if more rehashing is required.

### Benchmark:
- This PR still shows **~13%** improvement in the latency during
rehashing.

- Rehashing is now **~2%** faster for this PR when compared to unstable.

Redis Test Suite

The normal execution mode of the test suite involves starting and manipulating local redis-server instances, inspecting process state, log files, etc.

The test suite also supports execution against an external server, which is enabled using the --host and --port parameters. When executing against an external server, tests tagged external:skip are skipped.

There are additional runtime options that can further adjust the test suite to match different external server configurations:

Option Impact
--singledb Only use database 0, don't assume others are supported.
--ignore-encoding Skip all checks for specific encoding.
--ignore-digest Skip key value digest validations.
--cluster-mode Run in strict Redis Cluster compatibility mode.
--large-memory Enables tests that consume more than 100mb

Tags

Tags are applied to tests to classify them according to the subsystem they test, but also to indicate compatibility with different run modes and required capabilities.

Tags can be applied in different context levels:

  • start_server context
  • tags context that bundles several tests together
  • A single test context.

The following compatibility and capability tags are currently used:

Tag Indicates
external:skip Not compatible with external servers.
cluster:skip Not compatible with --cluster-mode.
large-memory Test that requires more than 100mb
tls:skip Not compatible with --tls.
needs:repl Uses replication and needs to be able to SYNC from server.
needs:debug Uses the DEBUG command or other debugging focused commands (like OBJECT REFCOUNT).
needs:pfdebug Uses the PFDEBUG command.
needs:config-maxmemory Uses CONFIG SET to manipulate memory limit, eviction policies, etc.
needs:config-resetstat Uses CONFIG RESETSTAT to reset statistics.
needs:reset Uses RESET to reset client connections.
needs:save Uses SAVE or BGSAVE to create an RDB file.

When using an external server (--host and --port), filtering using the external:skip tags is done automatically.

When using --cluster-mode, filtering using the cluster:skip tag is done automatically.

When not using --large-memory, filtering using the largemem:skip tag is done automatically.

In addition, it is possible to specify additional configuration. For example, to run tests on a server that does not permit SYNC use:

./runtest --host <host> --port <port> --tags -needs:repl
