2ece4c9b2e IMPALA-8341: Data cache for remote reads
This is a patch based on PhilZ's prototype: https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/12683/

This change implements an IO data cache which is backed by
local storage. It implicitly relies on the OS page cache
management to shuffle data between memory and the storage
device. This is useful for caching data read from remote
filesystems (e.g. remote HDFS data node, S3, ABFS, ADLS).

A data cache is divided into one or more partitions based on
the configuration string which is a list of directories, separated
by comma, followed by the storage capacity per directory.
An example configuration string is like the following:
  --data_cache_config=/data/0,/data/1:150GB

In the configuration above, the cache may use up to 300GB of
storage space, with 150GB max for /data/0 and /data/1 respectively.

Each partition has a meta-data cache which tracks the mappings
of cache keys to the locations of the cached data. A cache key
is a tuple of (file's name, file's modification time, file offset)
and a cache entry is a tuple of (backing file, offset in the backing
file, length of the cached data, optional checksum). Note that the
cache currently doesn't support overlapping ranges. In other words,
if the cache contains an entry of a file for range [m, m+4MB), a lookup
for [m+4K, m+8K) will miss in the cache. In practice, we haven't seen
this as a problem but this may require further evaluation in the future.

Each partition stores its set of cached data in backing files created
on local storage. When inserting new data into the cache, the data is
appended to the current backing file in use. The storage consumption
of each cache entry counts towards the quota of that partition. When a
partition reaches its capacity, the least recently used (LRU) data in
that partition is evicted. Evicted data is removed from the underlying
storage by punching holes in the backing file it's stored in. As a
backing file reaches a certain size (by default 4TB), new data will
stop being appended to it and a new file will be created instead. Note
that due to hole punching, the backing file is actually sparse. When
the number of backing files per partition exceeds,
--data_cache_max_files_per_partition, files are deleted in the order
in which they are created. Stale cache entries referencing deleted
files are erased lazily or evicted due to inactivity.

Optionally, checksumming can be enabled to verify read from the cache
is consistent with what was inserted and to verify that multiple attempted
insertions with the same cache key have the same cache content.
Checksumming is enabled by default for debug builds.

To probe for cached data in the cache, the interface Lookup() is used;
To insert data into the cache, the interface Store() is used. Please note
that eviction happens inline currently during Store().

This patch also added two startup flags for start-impala-cluster.py:
'--data_cache_dir' specifies the base directory in which each Impalad
creates the caching directory
'--data_cache_size' specifies the capacity string for each cache directory.

Testing done:
- added a new BE and EE test
- exhaustive (debug, release) builds with cache enabled
- core ASAN build with cache enabled

Perf:
- 16-streams TPCDS at 3TB in a 20 node S3 cluster shows about 30% improvement
over runs without the cache. Each node has a cache size of 150GB per node.
The performance is at parity with a configuration of a HDFS cluster using
EBS as the storage.

8d7f638654 IMPALA-7212: Removes --use_krpc flag and remove old DataStream services
This change removes the flag --use_krpc which allows users
to fall back to using Thrift based implementation of DataStream
services. This flag was originally added during development of
IMPALA-2567. It has served its purpose.

As we port more ImpalaInternalServices to use KRPC, it's becoming
increasingly burdensome to maintain parallel implementation of the
RPC handlers. Therefore, going forward, KRPC is always enabled.
This change removes the Thrift based implemenation of DataStreamServices
and also simplifies some of the tests which were skipped when KRPC
is disabled.

Testing done: core debug build.

8283081bf0 IMPALA-6576: Add metrics for data stream service memory usage
This change adds metrics for the data stream service memory usage. Both
current and peak usage are exposed.

It adds a test to test_krpc_metrics.py to make sure that the expected
metrics are present and that the peak usage shows a non-zero value after
running a query.

74dd9e9bfe IMPALA-6269: Expose KRPC metrics on debug webpage
This change exposes KRPC metrics on the /rpcz debug web page.

This change also exposes metrics for rejected RPCs on the /metrics debug
web page. See here for an example: https://git.io/vAczm

This change also fixes a bug in PrettyPrinter::GetByteUnit(), which
previously did not work for unsigned values due to an implicit cast.

This change contains tests to check that the metrics show up in /rpcz
and /metrics and that they update as expected when executing queries.

This change is based on a change by Sailesh Mukil.
