Without this, a very large batch add has commits of sizes approx
5000, 2500, 1250, etc down to 10, and then starts over at 5000.
This fixes it so it's 5000+ every time.
That hook updates associated file bookkeeping info for direct mode.
But, everything already called addAssociatedFile when adding/changing a
file. It only needed to also call removeAssociatedFile when deleting a file,
or a directory.
This should make bulk adds faster, by some possibly significant amount.
Bulk removals may be a little slower, since it has to use catKeyFile now
on each removed file, but will still be faster than adds.
There's a tradeoff between making less frequent commits, and
needing to use memory to store all the changes that are coming
in. At 10 thousand, it needs 150 mb of memory. 5 thousand drops
that down to 90 mb or so.
This also turns out to have significant imact on total run time.
I benchmarked 10k changes taking 27 minutes. But two 5k batches
took only 21 minutes.
If an add failed, we should lose the KeySource, since it, presumably,
differs due to a change that was made to the file.
(The locked down file is already deleted.)
Turns out that a lot of the time spent in a bulk add was just updating the
add alert to rotate through each file that was added. Showing one alert
makes for a significant speedup.
Also, when the webapp is open, this makes it take quite a lot less cpu
during bulk adds.
Also, it lets the user know when a bulk add happened, which is sorta
nice..
This better handles error messages formatted for console display, by
adding a <br> after each line.
Hmm, I wonder if it'd be worth pulling in a markdown formatter, and running
the messages through it?
In the case of the inotify limit warning, particularly, if it happens once
it will be happening repeatedly, and so combining alerts resulted in a
much too large alert message that took up a lot of memory and was too
large for the webapp to display.
Making this a tset of lists of Changes, rather than a tset of Changes
makes refilling it, in batch mode, much more efficient. Rather than needing
to add every Change it's collected one at a time, it can add them in one
fast batch operation.
It would be more efficient yet to use a Set, but that would need an Eq
instance for InodeCache.
This is so git remotes on servers without git-annex installed can be used
to keep clients' git repos in sync.
This is a behavior change, but since annex-sync can be set to disable
syncing with a remote, I think it's acceptable.
Incidentially should work around the last problem that prevented the webapp
building on Android. (Except for a few places I need to clean up after
hand-fixing the spliced TH code.)
assistant: Work around horrible, terrible, very bad behavior of
gnome-keyring, by not storing special-purpose ssh keys in ~/.ssh/*.pub.
Apparently gnome-keyring apparently will load and indiscriminately use such
keys in some cases, even if they are not using any of the standard ssh key
names. Instead store the keys in ~/.ssh/annex/, which gnome-keyring will
not check.
Note that neither I nor #debian-devel were able to quite reproduce this
problem, but I believe it exists, and that this fixes it. And it certianly
won't hurt anything..
* addurl: Register transfer so the webapp can see it.
* addurl: Automatically retry downloads that fail, as long as some
additional content was downloaded.
