Add WITHOUT ROWID to SQLite benchmark.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The SQLite-specific schema feature is documented at
https://www.sqlite.org/withoutrowid.html and
https://www.sqlite.org/rowidtable.html.

By default, SQLite stores each table in a B-tree keyed by an integer,
called the ROWID. Any index, including the PRIMARY KEY index, is a
separate B-tree mapping index keys to ROWIDs. Tables without ROWIDs are
stored in a B-tree keyed by the primary key. Additional indexes (the
PRIMARY KEY index is implicitly built into the table) are stored as
B-trees mapping index keys to row primary keys.

This CL introduces a boolean --use-rowids flag to db_bench_sqlite. When
the flag is false (default), the schema of the test table includes
WITHOUT ROWID. The test table uses a primary key, so adding WITHOUT
ROWID to the schema reduces the number of B-trees used by the benchmark
from 2 to 1. This brings SQLite's disk usage closer to LevelDB.

When WITHOUT ROWID is used, SQLite fares better (than today) on
benchmarks with small (16-byte) keys, and worse on benchmarks with large
(100kb) keys.
