//! Sparse Extract — sub-region decompression for compressed memory. //! //! When a compressed region is accessed, don't decompress the whole thing. //! Decompress ONLY the accessed byte range. Serve EXACTLY what's needed, //! no more, no less. //! //! Key insight: a 50 KB object where only 3 fields (200 bytes) are ever //! accessed keeps ~200 bytes decompressed + the full 50 KB compressed. //! That's 99.6% savings on the warm portion. //! //! Flow: //! 1. Region registered with its LZ4 compressed backing. //! 2. Every access is recorded in the ByteHeatMap. //! 3. `extract()` checks existing hot ranges first; on a miss it //! decompresses the backing, slices the requested range, and //! promotes it to a hot range. //! 4. `compact()` demotes hot ranges that have not been re-accessed //! since the last compaction pass. use std::collections::HashMap; use lz4_flex::decompress_size_prepended; // --------------------------------------------------------------------------- // ByteHeatMap // --------------------------------------------------------------------------- /// Per-region access heat tracker, bucketed at cache-line granularity (64 B). pub struct ByteHeatMap { buckets: Vec, // access count per 64-byte bucket bucket_size: usize, // always 64 (cache line) region_size: usize, } impl ByteHeatMap { /// Create a new heat map for a region of `region_size` bytes. /// Number of buckets = ceil(region_size / 64). pub fn new(region_size: usize) -> Self { let bucket_size = 64; let num_buckets = (region_size + bucket_size - 1) / bucket_size; Self { buckets: vec![0u32; num_buckets], bucket_size, region_size, } } /// Record an access covering [offset, offset + length). /// Every bucket that overlaps the range is incremented by 1. pub fn record_access(&mut self, offset: usize, length: usize) { if length == 0 || offset >= self.region_size { return; } let end = (offset + length).min(self.region_size); let first_bucket = offset / self.bucket_size; let last_bucket = (end - 1) / self.bucket_size; for b in first_bucket..=last_bucket { if b < self.buckets.len() { self.buckets[b] = self.buckets[b].saturating_add(1); } } } /// Return (offset, length) pairs of contiguous bucket runs whose count /// is strictly above `threshold`.
