Bearing in mind that these indexes are really uniqueness constraints
that just happen to also make sqlite generate indexes.
In Database.ContentIndentifier, the ContentIndentifiersKeyRemoteCidIndex
is fine as a uniqueness constraint because it contains all rows from the
table. The ContentIndentifiersCidRemoteIndex is also ok because there
can only be one key for a given (cid, uuid) combination.
In Database.Export, the new ExportTreeFileKeyIndex is the same pair as
the old ExportTreeKeyFileIndex (previously ExportTreeIndex). And
in Database.Keys.SQL, the new InodeCacheKeyIndex is the same pair as the
old KeyInodeCacheIndex.
This is a non-backwards compatable change, so not suitable for merging
w/o a annex.version bump and transition code. Not yet tested.
This improves performance of git-annex benchmark --databases
across the board by 10-25%, since eg Key roundtrips as a ByteString.
(serializeKey' produces a lazy ByteString, so there is still a
copy involved in converting it to a strict ByteString. It may be faster
to switch to using bytestring-strict-builder.)
FilePath and Key are both stored as blobs. This avoids mojibake in some
situations. It would be possible to use varchar instead, if persistent
could avoid converting that to Text, but it seems there is no good
way to do so. See doc/todo/sqlite_database_improvements.mdwn
Eliminated some ugly artifacts of using Read/Show serialization;
constructors and quoted strings are no longer stored in sqlite.
Renamed SRef to SSha to reflect that it is only ever a git sha,
not a ref name. Since it is limited to the characters in a sha,
it is not affected by mojibake, so still uses String.
This solves the problem of sameas remotes trampling over per-remote
state. Used for:
* per-remote state, of course
* per-remote metadata, also of course
* per-remote content identifiers, because two remote implementations
could in theory generate the same content identifier for two different
peices of content
While chunk logs are per-remote data, they don't use this, because the
number and size of chunks stored is a common property across sameas
remotes.
External special remote had a complication, where it was theoretically
possible for a remote to send SETSTATE or GETSTATE during INITREMOTE or
EXPORTSUPPORTED. Since the uuid of the remote is typically generate in
Remote.setup, it would only be possible to pass a Maybe
RemoteStateHandle into it, and it would otherwise have to construct its
own. Rather than go that route, I decided to send an ERROR in this case.
It seems unlikely that any existing external special remote will be
affected. They would have to make up a git-annex key, and set state for
some reason during INITREMOTE. I can imagine such a hack, but it doesn't
seem worth complicating the code in such an ugly way to support it.
Unfortunately, both TestRemote and Annex.Import needed the Remote
to have a new field added that holds its RemoteStateHandle.
Fix bug that caused importing from a special remote to repeatedly download
unchanged files when multiple files in the remote have the same content.
Unfortunately, there's really no good way to remove a uniqueness constraint
from a sqlite database. The best that can be done is to make a new table
and copy the data over. But that would require using persistent's
migrations or raw sql, and I don't want to do either.
Instead, a sledgehammer approach: Renamed .git/annex/cid to
.git/annex/cids. When the new database doesn't exist, it will be populated
from the git-annex branch.
Noting deletes the old database. Don't want to delete it out from under
some long-running git-annex process that might be using it. It could
eventually be deleted. But this is such a new feature, probably few repos
have the database in any case.
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.
Does not yet have a way to update with new information from the
git-annex branch, which will be needed when multiple repos are importing
from the same remote.
