This is the core implementation of the SIEVE algorithm described in the
following paper:
Zhang, Yazhuo, Juncheng Yang, Yao Yue, Ymir Vigfusson, and K V
Rashmi. “SIEVE Is Simpler than LRU: An Efficient Turn-Key Eviction
Algorithm for Web Caches,” n.d.. available online from

Instead of relying on unreliable order of execution of the library
constructors and destructors, move them to individual binaries. The
advantage is that the execution time and order will remain constant and
will not depend on the dynamic load dependency solver.
This requires more work, but that was mitigated by a simple requirement,
any executable using libisc and libdns, must include <isc/lib.h> and
<dns/lib.h> respectively (in this particular order). In turn, these two
headers must not be included from within any library as they contain
inlined functions marked with constructor/destructor attributes.
QPDB is now a default implementation for both cache and zone. Remove
the venerable RBTDB database implementation, so we can fast-track the
changes to the database without having to implement the design changes
to both QPDB and RBTDB and this allows us to be more aggressive when
refactoring the database design.
Replace the ISC_LIST based deadnodes implementation with isc_queue which
is wait-free and we don't have to acquire neither the tree nor node lock
to append nodes to the queue and the cleaning process can also
copy (splice) the list into a local copy without acquiring the list.
Currently, there's little benefit to this as we need to hold those
locks anyway, but in the future as we move to RCU based implementation,
this will be ready.
To align the cleaning with our event loop based model, remove the
hardcoded count for the node locks and use the number of the event loops
instead. This way, each event loop can have its own cleaning as part of
the process. Use uniform random numbers to spread the nodes evenly
between the buckets (instead of hashing the domain name).
when the cache is over memory, we purge from the LRU list until
we've freed the approximate amount of memory to be added. this
approximation could fail because the memory allocated for nodenames
wasn't being counted.
add a dns_name_size() function so we can look up the size of nodenames,
then add that to the purgesize calculation.
now that "qpzone" databases are available for use in zones, we no
longer need to retain the zone semantics in the "qp" database.
all zone-specific code has been removed from QPDB, and "configure
--with-zonedb" once again takes two values, rbt and qp.
some database API methods that are never used with a cache have
been removed from qpdb.c and qp-cachedb.c; these include newversion,
closeversion, subtractrdataset, and nodefullname.
by default, QPDB is the database used by named and all tools and
unit tests. the old default of RBTDB can now be restored by using
"configure --with-zonedb=rbt --with-cachedb=rbt".
some tests have been fixed so they will work correctly with either
database.
CHANGES and release notes have been updated to reflect this change.
replace the string "rbt" throughout BIND with "qp" so that
qpdb databases will be used by default instead of rbtdb.
rbtdb databases can still be used by specifying "database rbt;"
in a zone statement.
