As reported by @P-E-Meunier in https://github.com/facebook/zstd/issues/2662#issuecomment-1443836186,
seekable format ingestion speed can be particularly slow
when selected `FRAME_SIZE` is very small,
especially in combination with the recent row_hash compression mode.
The specific scenario mentioned was `pijul`,
using frame sizes of 256 bytes and level 10.
This is improved in this PR,
by providing approximate parameter adaptation to the compression process.
Tested locally on a M1 laptop,
ingestion of `enwik8` using `pijul` parameters
went from 35sec. (before this PR) to 2.5sec (with this PR).
For the specific corner case of a file full of zeroes,
this is even more pronounced, going from 45sec. to 0.5sec.
These benefits are unrelated to (and come on top of) other improvement efforts currently being made by @yoniko for the row_hash compression method specifically.
The `seekable_compress` test program has been updated to allows setting compression level,
in order to produce these performance results.
```
for f in $(find . \( -path ./.git -o -path ./tests/fuzz/corpora \) -prune -o -type f);
do
sed -i 's/Facebook, Inc\./Meta Platforms, Inc. and affiliates./' $f;
done
```
* seekable_format: fix from-file reading (not in-memory)
It tries to check the buffer boundary, but there is no buffer for
from-file reading.
* seekable_decompression: break when ZSTD_seekable_decompress() returns zero
* seekable_decompression_mem: break when ZSTD_seekable_decompress() returns zero
* seekable_format: cap the offset+len up to the last dOffset
This will allow to read the whole file w/o gotting corruption error if
the offset is more then the data left in file, i.e.:
$ ./seekable_compression seekable_compression.c 8192 | head
$ zstd -cdq seekable_compression.c.zst | wc -c
4737
Before this patch:
$ ./seekable_decompression seekable_compression.c.zst 0 10000000 | wc -c
ZSTD_seekable_decompress() error : Corrupted block detected
0
After:
$ ./seekable_decompression seekable_compression.c.zst 0 10000000 | wc -c
4737
