//! Set algebra, and the choice between probing and merging.
//!
//! `SINTER`, `SUNION`, `SDIFF`, `SINTERCARD` and the `*STORE` forms. This is the
//! family aki lost worst on, at 0.75x for `SINTER` and 0.30x to 0.55x for the
//! `*STORE` forms, and `08` section 4 sets the gate at ten times for all of them.
//!
//! # Two ways to do it
//!
//! **Probe.** Take the smallest set, and for each of its members ask every other
//! set whether it has it. Work is `|smallest| * (k - 1)` questions in the worst
//! case, and far fewer in practice because a member that is missing from the
//! second set is never asked about the third. Every question is a random access
//! into a different table.
//!
//! **Accumulate.** Walk every member of every set once, into one table that
//! counts how many sets each member appeared in, and then read the answer off
//! the counts. Work is `sum(|set|)` insertions, all of them into the same table.
//!
//! K11 pre-registers a crossover at k around 7: below that probe, above it merge.
//! It does not reproduce, and it is worth being exact about why, because the
//! reason is not that the number is a little out.
//!
//! # The crossover is not at seven and there is not one
//!
//! `benches/setops.rs` runs both plans over the same sets at k from 2 to 16, with
//! sets of two hundred thousand and nine tenths of every set shared, which is the
//! shape that gives probe the least help. Probe wins at every k. The gap narrows
//! as k grows, from 2.95 times at k equals 2 to 1.24 times at k equals 16, and it
//! narrows towards parity rather than towards a crossing.
//!
//! The arithmetic says the same thing once the cost of an operation is measured
//! instead of assumed. Probe does `n * (k - 1)` table operations. Accumulate does
//! `n * (k + 1)`, being one seeding insert and one count raise per member plus the
//! read back. Those are 2.7 and 3.4 million at k equals 16, a ratio of 1.26
//! against a measured 1.24. Probe does less work at every k and the ratio tends to
//! one from above, so these two never cross.
//!
//! The pre-registered number assumed a probe question is much dearer than an
//! accumulate touch, because a question is a random access into a table this
//! operation has not otherwise touched and `08` section 4 floors that at about 40
//! ns on a DRAM miss. Both come out at about 25 ns here. An accumulate touch is
//! not the cheap sequential thing the model had in mind: it hashes the member and
//! makes its own random access, into the counting table. Two random accesses that
//! cost the same cannot trade off against each other, however many of them there
//! are. This is L6's 70 ns positional probe again, which measured 13.
//!
//! # The third plan, which does change it
//!
//! `08` section 4 describes a merge that is neither of the two above: sorted
//! arrays walked in lockstep, where a touch is a pointer step and a comparison
//! with no hash anywhere. That genuinely is much cheaper than a probe question,
//! and against it a crossover can exist. It was written down as needing the
//! partitioned band and was therefore out of reach.
//!
//! It is in reach now, from the other direction. An all integer set is an
//! [`Intset`], which is exactly a sorted array, and since #148 it stays one
//! however big it gets rather than turning into a table at five hundred and
//! twelve members. So whenever every operand is an intset there is something to
//! merge, and that is most of what `SINTERSTORE` is called with: identifier
//! sets, bitmap style tag sets, anything a numeric primary key went into.
//!
//! [`Plan::Merge`] is that, over [`Walk`], and it is why `plan_for` is a
//! chooser with something to choose. The intersection is a leapfrog driven from
//! the smallest set: take the value that set is on, pull the others up to it
//! with [`Walk::seek`], and if they all land on it then it is in all of them.
//! The seek is what makes the asymmetric case cheap, because a set of ten
//! against a set of a million touches ten members of the big one and skips the
//! rest.
//!
//! The counting plan stays reachable through [`inter_with`] and the benchmark
//! keeps measuring it, because it is the control the merge has to beat.
//!
//! # What the merge is worth, measured
//!
//! `benches/setops.rs` builds the same four shapes as integer sets and runs
//! every plan over them. Milliseconds per intersection, minimum per iteration,
//! two hundred thousand members a set:
//!
//! ```text
//!                        k=2      k=4      k=8     k=16
//!   dense    merge      3.95     5.15    11.06    23.91

//! ```
//!
//! And the other three commands, where the merge's opposite number is the table
//! for the union and the probe for the other two:
//!
//! ```text
//!                        k=2      k=4      k=8     k=16
//!   union    merge      1.47     4.35    14.76    54.49
//!            table     13.30    31.21    69.84   149.82
//!   diff     merge      4.40     5.16     8.60    15.98
//!            probe      6.94    10.02    16.65    29.07
//!   store    merge      7.17    10.36    16.59    29.79
//!            probe     13.88    23.95    36.69    63.24
//! ```
//!
//! The merge wins every row at every k. The narrowest is 1.27 times and the
//! widest is 141, which is a spread wide enough to be worth explaining rather
//! than averaging.
//!
//! # Where the spread comes from, and the shape that nearly broke it
//!
//! `sparse` and `striped` hold the same sets with the same one percent overlap
//! and differ only in where each set's unshared members sit. In `sparse` they
//! are in a range of their own, so a cursor that lands in another set's range
//! steps over the whole range in one binary search. In `striped` they are
//! interleaved one for one, so there is nothing to skip and a step is worth a
//! single member. That is 141 times against 1.6, on data that is identical by
//! every summary statistic an optimiser could look at. Real data lies between
//! the two and the number to quote is the striped one.
//!
//! Getting that row right took two goes and it is the reason the shape is in the
//! benchmark. The first merge was symmetric: no set in charge, the largest value
//! any cursor held as the target, every cursor visited in turn. On `striped` it
//! was nine times slower than the probe at k of 16, and it deserved to be. A
//! symmetric leapfrog costs a step per member of the union of every operand,
//! because proving that nothing matches means looking at everything, and the
//! union is `k` times the smallest set. The probe reads the smallest set once
//! and fails on its first question, so it is flat in k, which is exactly what
//! `sparse_probe` and `striped_probe` do at about 6 to 8 ms across the range.
//!
//! Driving the leapfrog from the smallest set fixes it, because it puts the
//! merge on the probe's own bound: a step per member of the smallest operand,
//! plus one per overshoot, over a step that is cheaper than a hash and a random
//! access. `striped_merge` is 4.70 ms at k of 2 and 5.27 at k of 16, which is
//! the same flatness the probe has with a smaller constant.
//!
//! So the honest claim is not that the merge is a different order of cost. It is
//! that the merge is never worse than the probe by more than its constant and is
//! sometimes better by two orders, and that the plan is free to take because the
//! representation already sorted the data.
//!
//! The one row with a slope worth watching is the union, which finds the
//! smallest value by looking at every cursor and is therefore quadratic in k
//! where the table is linear. It wins by 9.1 times at k of 2 and 2.75 at k of 16,
//! and extrapolating the two slopes they would cross somewhere past k of 50. A
//! heap would make it `log k` at the cost of a comparison per push, and there is
//! no point paying that until a `SUNION` with fifty keys turns up.
//!
//! # Ordering
//!
//! A probe or a count returns members in the order the first relevant set holds
//! them, which is insertion order for a listpack or a table and ascending for an
//! intset. A merge returns them ascending. Redis makes no ordering promise for
//! any of these, and picking the order the data is already in means the walk is
//! sequential and there is nothing to sort.
//!
//! For the intersection and the difference the two agree, because the plan only
//! changes when every operand is an intset and the set being walked is then
//! ascending either way. For the union they do not: the table walks the sets in
//! turn and the merge interleaves them. That is the one place a plan is visible
//! from outside, and it is visible only to a client that was relying on
//! something Redis never promised.
//!
//! # The three representations
//!
//! The operand is a [`Set`], which is one of three things, and not the element
//! table it used to be. The walked set gives up members through the same
//! [`Set::iter`] everything else uses, and the questioned sets answer through
//! [`Set::has`], which is [`Set::contains`] with the parse and the hash lifted
//! out into a [`Needle`] so they happen once per member rather than once per
//! question.
//!
//! What that buys is that the algebra never has to know what it is holding. It
//! also means the members cross between representations correctly, which is not
//! automatic: an intset member is a number that has no digits anywhere, and a
//! table stores that same member as its digits, so `SINTER ints table` only
//! finds anything because the needle carries both forms.
//!
//! # Presizing
//!
//! The `*STORE` forms hand the destination a size before they start filling it,
//! taken from the smallest input, which is Y18's rule and an upper bound on any
//! intersection. `05` section 3.1 wants that to be one arena bump. Until the
//! arena is under this, the destination's own hint is the same promise with a
//! different allocator behind it.
