4090: Diff indexing r=ManyTheFish a=ManyTheFish
This pull request aims to reduce the indexing time by computing a difference between the data added to the index and the data removed from the index before writing in LMDB.
## Why focus on reducing the writings in LMDB?
The indexing in Meilisearch is split into 3 main phases:
1) The computing or the extraction of the data (Multi-threaded)
2) The writing of the data in LMDB (Mono-threaded)
3) The processing of the prefix databases (Mono-threaded)
see below:
Because the writing is mono-threaded, it represents a bottleneck in the indexing, reducing the number of writes in LMDB will reduce the pressure on the main thread and should reduce the global time spent on the indexing.
## Give Feedback
We created [a dedicated discussion](https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/discussions/4196) for users to try this new feature and to give feedback on bugs or performance issues.
## Technical approach
### Part 1: merge the addition and the deletion process
This part:
a) Aims to reduce the time spent on indexing only the filterable/sortable fields of documents, for example:
- Updating the number of "likes" or "stars" of a song or a movie
- Updating the "stock count" or the "price" of a product
b) Aims to reduce the time spent on writing in LMDB which should reduce the global indexing time for the highly multi-threaded machines by reducing the writing bottleneck.
c) Aims to reduce the average time spent to delete documents without having to keep the soft-deleted documents implementation
- [x] Create a preprocessing function that creates the diff-based documents chuck (`OBKV<fid, OBKV<AddDel, value>>`)
- [x] and clearly separate the faceted fields and the searchable fields in two different chunks
- Change the parameters of the input extractor by taking an `OBKV<fid, OBKV<AddDel, value>>` instead of `OBKV<fid, value>`.
- [x] extract_docid_word_positions
- [x] extract_geo_points
- [x] extract_vector_points
- [x] extract_fid_docid_facet_values
- Adapt the searchable extractors to the new diff-chucks
- [x] extract_fid_word_count_docids
- [x] extract_word_pair_proximity_docids
- [x] extract_word_position_docids
- [x] extract_word_docids
- Adapt the facet extractors to the new diff-chucks
- [x] extract_facet_number_docids
- [x] extract_facet_string_docids
- [x] extract_fid_docid_facet_values
- [x] FacetsUpdate
- [x] Adapt the prefix database extractors ⚠️⚠️
- [x] Make the LMDB writer remove the document_ids to delete at the same time the new document_ids are added
- [x] Remove document deletion pipeline
- [x] remove `new_documents_ids` entirely and `replaced_documents_ids`
- [x] reuse extracted external id from transform instead of re-extracting in `TypedChunks::Documents`
- [x] Remove deletion pipeline after autobatcher
- [x] remove autobatcher deletion pipeline
- [x] everything uses `IndexOperation::DocumentOperation`
- [x] repair deletion by internal id for filter by delete
- [x] Improve the deletion via internal ids by avoiding iterating over the whole set of external document ids.
- [x] Remove soft-deleted documents
#### FIXME
- [x] field distribution is not correctly updated after deletion
- [x] missing documents in the tests of tokenizer_customization
### Part 2: Only compute the documents field by field
This part aims to reduce the global indexing time for any kind of partial document modification on any size of machine from the mono-threaded one to the highly multi-threaded one.
- [ ] Make the preprocessing function only send the fields that changed to the extractors
- [ ] remove the `word_docids` and `exact_word_docids` database and adapt the search (⚠️ could impact the search performances)
- [ ] replace the `word_pair_proximity_docids` database with a `word_pair_proximity_fid_docids` database and adapt the search (⚠️ could impact the search performances)
- [ ] Adapt the prefix database extractors ⚠️⚠️
## Technical Concerns
- The part 1 implementation could increase the indexing time for the smallest machines (with few threads) by increasing the extracting time (multi-threaded) more than the writing time (mono-threaded)
- The part 2 implementation needs to change the databases which could have a significant impact on the search performances
- The prefix databases are a bit special to process and may be a pain to adapt to the difference-based indexing

The issue was that the operation « DocumentDeletionByFilter » was not
declared as an index operation. That means the indexes stats were not
reprocessed after the application of the operation.
3319: Transparently resize indexes on MaxDatabaseSizeReached errors r=Kerollmops a=dureuill
# Pull Request
## Related issue
Related to https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/discussions/3280, depends on https://github.com/meilisearch/milli/pull/760
## What does this PR do?
### User standpoint
- Meilisearch no longer fails tasks that encounter the `milli::UserError(MaxDatabaseSizeReached)` error.
- Instead, these tasks are retried after increasing the maximum size allocated to the index where the failure occurred.
### Implementation standpoint
- Add `Batch::index_uid` to get the `index_uid` of a batch of task if there is one
- `IndexMapper::create_or_open_index` now takes an additional `size` argument that allows to (re)open indexes with a size different from the base `IndexScheduler::index_size` field
- `IndexScheduler::tick` now returns a `Result<TickOutcome>` instead of a `Result<usize>`. This offers more explicit control over what the behavior should be wrt the next tick.
- Add `IndexStatus::BeingResized` that contains a handle that a thread can use to await for the resize operation to complete and the index to be available again.
- Add `IndexMapper::resize_index` to increase the size of an index.
- In `IndexScheduler::tick`, intercept task batches that failed due to `MaxDatabaseSizeReached` and resize the index that caused the error, then request a new tick that will eventually handle the still enqueued task.

Mainly, these debug changes do the following:
- Set the default index size to 1MiB so that index resizes are initially frequent
- Turn some logs from info to error so that they can be displayed with `--log-level ERROR` (hiding the other infos)
- Add a long sleep between the beginning and the end of the resize so that we can observe the `BeingResized` index status (otherwise it would never come up in my tests)
## Open questions
- Is the growth factor of x2 the correct solution? For a `Vec` in memory it makes sense, but here we're manipulating quantities that are potentially in the order of 500GiBs. For bigger indexes it may make more sense to add at most e.g. 100GiB on each resize operation, avoiding big steps like 500GiB -> 1TiB.

3470: Autobatch addition and deletion r=irevoire a=irevoire
This PR adds the capability to meilisearch to batch document addition and deletion together.
Fix https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/issues/3440
--------------
Things to check before merging;
- [x] What happens if we delete multiple time the same documents -> add a test
- [x] If a documentDeletion gets batched with a documentAddition but the index doesn't exist yet? It should not work
