This means that Command.Move and Command.Get don't need to
manually set the stage, and is a lot cleaner conceptually.
Also, this makes Command.Sync.syncFile use the worker pool better.
In the scenario where it first downloads content and then uploads it to
some other remotes, it will start in TransferStage, then enter VerifyStage
and then go back to TransferStage for each transfer to the remotes.
Before, it entered CleanupStage after the download, and stayed in it for
the upload, so too many transfer jobs could run at the same time.
Note that, in Remote.Git, it uses runTransfer and also verifyKeyContent
inside onLocal. That has a Annex state for the remote, with no worker pool.
So the resulting calls to enteringStage won't block in there.
While Remote.Git.copyToRemote does do checksum verification, I
realized that should not use a verification slot in the WorkerPool
to do it. Because, it's reading back from eg, a removable disk to checksum.
That will contend with other writes to that disk. It's best to treat
that checksum verification as just part of the transer. So, removed the todo
item about that, as there's nothing needing to be done.
get, move, copy, sync: When -J or annex.jobs has enabled concurrency,
checksum verification uses a separate job pool than is used for
downloads, to keep bandwidth saturated.
Not yet done for upload checksum verification, but that only affects
remotes on local disks.
The hoped for optimisation of CommandStart with -J did not materialize.
In fact, not runnign CommandStart in parallel is slower than -J3.
So, CommandStart are still run in parallel.
(The actual bad performance I've been seeing with -J in my big repo
has to do with building the remoteList.)
But, this is still progress toward making -J faster, because it gets rid
of the onlyActionOn roadblock in the way of making CommandCleanup jobs
run separate from CommandPerform jobs.
Added OnlyActionOn constructor for ActionItem which fixes the
onlyActionOn breakage in the last commit.
Made CustomOutput include an ActionItem, so even things using it can
specify OnlyActionOn.
In Command.Move and Command.Sync, there were CommandStarts that used
includeCommandAction, so output messages, which is no longer allowed.
Fixed by using startingCustomOutput, but that's still not quite right,
since it prevents message display for the includeCommandAction run
inside it too.
When running multiple concurrent actions, the cleanup phase is run in a
separate queue than the main action queue. This can make some commands
faster, because less time is spent on bookkeeping in between each file
transfer.
But as far as I can see, nothing will be sped up much by this yet, because
all the existing cleanup actions are very light-weight. This is just groundwork
for deferring checksum verification to cleanup time.
This change does mean that if the user expects -J2 will mean that they see no
more than 2 jobs running at a time, they may be surprised to see 4 in some
cases (if the cleanup actions are slow enough to notice).
It might also make sense to enable background cleanup without the -J,
for at least one cleanup action. Indeed, that's the behavior that -J1
has now. At some point in the future, it make make sense to make the
behavior with no -J the same as -J1. The only reason it's not currently
is that git-annex can build w/o concurrent-output, and also any bugs
in concurrent-output (such as perhaps misbehaving on non-VT100 compatible
terminals) are avoided by default by only using it when -J is used.
Importing from a special remote honors its preferred content too; unwanted
files are not imported. But, some preferred content expressions can't be
checked before files are imported, and trying to import with such an
expression will fail.
Tested this with scenarios including changing the preferred content
expression and making sure merging the import didn't delete files that were
no longer wanted.
There was one minor inefficiency mentioned in the todo that I punted on.
Make the import have the previous import as a parent, so eg `git log --stat`
displays a useful diff.
Also a minor optimisation, only calculate the depth of the imported history
once.
Prevents merging the import from deleting the non-preferred files from
the branch it's merged into.
adjustTree previously appended the new list of items to the old, which
could result in it generating a tree with multiple files with the same
name. That is not good and confuses some parts of git. Gave it a
function to resolve such conflicts.
That allowed dealing with the problem of what happens when the import
contains some files (or subtrees) with the same name as files that were
filtered out of the export. The files from the import win.
This includes a note about how include= and exclude= match when exporting
a subtree. I don't know if the note is prominent enough, but the
behavior seems unsurprising enough.
This will let import try to match preferred content expressions before
downloading the content and generating its key.
If an expression needs a key, it preferredContentParser with
preferredContentKeylessTokens will fail to parse it.
standard and groupwanted are not in preferredContentKeylessTokens
because they may refer to an expression that refers to a key.
That needs further work to support them.
Added the ability to run one job per CPU (core), by setting annex.jobs=cpus,
or using option --jobs=cpus or -Jcpus.
Built with future expansion in mind, including not defaulting matching on
Concurrency so more constructors can later be added, and using "cpu"
instead of "0".
This way no history is lost, neither what was exported to the remote,
or the history of changes that is imported from it. No complicated
correlation of two possibly very different histories is needed, just
record what we know and then git merge will do a good job.
Also, it notices when the remote tracking branch doesn't need to be updated,
and avoids doing anything, so noop remotes are super cheap.
The only catch here is that, since the commits generated for imports
from the remote don't have a stable date or author/committer, each
(non-noop) import generates different commits for the same imported
trees. So, when the imported remote tracking branch is merged into master
and then a change is imported again, there will be an extra series of
commits, which will get more and more expensive each time.
This seems to call for making stable commits for imports. Also that
seems a good idea to make importing in several repositories have the
same result.
As well as adding the necessary methods, a few other changes to the adb
remote:
* Use ".annextmp" extension for temp files, to avoid conflict with other
temp files.
* Stop using "echo $?" to get exit status of command inside adb.
There were two problems; first the "echo" just before it meant it was
always 0! And secondly, it seems kind of random on my phone whether it's
1 or 0, not dependant on whether the command seems to have succeeded.
Avoid a warning message when renameExport is not supported, and just
fallback to deleting with a subsequent re-upload. Especially needed for
importtree remotes, where renameExport needs to be disabled.
This changes the external special remote protocol, but in a
backwards-compatible way. A reply of UNSUPPORTED-REQUEST to an older
version of git-annex will cause it to make renameExport return False.
This works, and tested syncing both gets changes from a special remote
and sends changes to it, keeping it fully in sync nicely!
But have not tried it with a subdir configured.
This is not super efficient; it would be better to lock the database
once and build up a queue of changes and flush once.
But, storeExportWithContentIdentifier is likely going to be the really
expensive part, so let's do the simple thing and only optimise later if
needed.
untested
This won't be super slow, but it does need to diff two likely large
trees, and since the git-annex branch rarely sits still, it will most
likely be run at the beginning of every import.
A possible speed improvement would be to only run this when the database
did not contain a ContentIdentifier. But that would only speed up
imports when there is no new version of a file on the special remote,
at most renames of existing files being imported.
A better speed improvement would be to record something in the git-annex
branch that indicates when an import has been run, and only do the diff
if the git-annex branch has record of a newer import than we've seen
before. Then, it would only run when there is in fact new
ContentIdentifier information available from a remote. Certianly doable,
but didn't want to complicate things yet.
Note that I tried an evil remote that lists ImportLocations with
../../../ in them and indeed this resulted in git blowing up and the
import failing, and not writing outside the repo.
git-annex: thread blocked indefinitely in an STM transaction
failed
git-annex: sqlite query crashed
CallStack (from HasCallStack):
error, called at ./Database/Handle.hs:98:42 in main:Database.Handle
failed
This needs further investigation.
Had to add two more API calls to override export APIs that are not safe
for use in combination with import.
It's unfortunate that removeExportDirectory is documented to be allowed
to remove non-empty directories. I'm not entirely sure why it's that
way, my best guess is it was intended to make it easy to implement with
just rm -rf.
For now, it's only allowed when exporttree=yes is also set.
That simplified the implementation, but could later be changed if
there's a remote that makes sense to be an import but not an export.
However, it may work just as well to make a remote be readonly to
prevent export to it while still allowing import.
This does not avoid all possible races, but it does avoid all likely
ones, and is demonstratably better than git's own handling of races
where files get modified at the same time as it's updating the working
tree.
The main thing this won't detect are not unlikely races where part
of a file gets changed while it's being copied and then the file is
restored to its original condition before the modification check.
No, it's more likely that the limitations of checking inode, size,
and mtime won't detect certian modifications, involving eg mmapped
files.
The branch is only updated once the export is 100% complete. This way,
if an export is started but interrupted and so the remote does not yet
contain some of the files, an import will make a commit on the old
branch, and so won't delete the missing files.
Made some api changes.
listImportableContents needs to provide the size
of the data, so the downloader can check disk free space.
retrieveExportWithContentIdentifier is passed the filepath to write to
Use temporary "CID" key during download of a ContentIdentifier from a
remote, so withTmp can be used and then move the content to the real key
once it's known.
Added graftTree but it's buggy.
Should use graftTree in Annex.Branch.graftTreeish; it will be faster
than the current implementation there.
Started Annex.Import, but untested and it doesn't yet handle tree
grafting.
Avoid performing repository fixups for submodules and git-worktrees
when there's a .noannex file that will prevent git-annex from being
used in the repository.
This change is ok as long as the .noannex file is really going to prevent
git-annex from being used. But, init --force could override the file.
Which would result in the repo being initialized without the fixups
having run.
To avoid that situation decided to change init, to not let --force be used
to override a .noannex file. Instead the user can just delete the file.
* fromkey: Added --json.
* fromkey --batch output changed to support using it with --json.
The old output was not parseable for any useful information, so
this is not expected to break anything.
If the worktree file already exists, and is annexed and uses the same
key, avoid failing, nothing needs to be done.
Had to add lookupFileNotHidden to handle the case where an adjust --hide-missing
is in use, and the worktree file was hidden due to the object content
being missing. lookupFile would return the key of the hidden file,
but it makes sense that after fromkey succeeds, the worktree must
contain the file it was supposed to set up.
