2020-07-30t: make test-bloom initialize repositoryLibravatar brian m. carlson1-0/+2
The bloom filter code relies on reading object IDs using parse_oid_hex. In order to make that work with an appropriate size, we need to have initialized the repository's hash algorithm. Since the values we're processing depend on the repository in use, let's set up the repository when we run the test helper.

2020-04-23test-bloom: check that we have expected argumentsLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+16
If "test-tool bloom" is not fed a command, or if arguments are missing for some commands, it will just segfault. Let's check argc and write a friendlier usage message.

2020-04-06commit-graph: reuse existing Bloom filters during writeLibravatar Garima Singh1-1/+1
Add logic to a) parse Bloom filter information from the commit graph file and, b) re-use existing Bloom filters. See Documentation/technical/commit-graph-format for the format in which the Bloom filter information is written to the commit graph file. To read Bloom filter for a given commit with lexicographic position 'i' we need to: 1. Read BIDX[i] which essentially gives us the starting index in BDAT for filter of commit i+1. It is essentially the index past the end of the filter of commit i. It is called end_index in the code. 2. For i>0, read BIDX[i-1] which will give us the starting index in BDAT for filter of commit i. It is called the start_index in the code. For the first commit, where i = 0, Bloom filter data starts at the beginning, just past the header in the BDAT chunk. Hence, start_index will be 0. 3. The length of the filter will be end_index - start_index, because BIDX[i] gives the cumulative 8-byte words including the ith commit's filter. We toggle whether Bloom filters should be recomputed based on the compute_if_not_present flag.

2020-03-30bloom.c: core Bloom filter implementation for changed paths.Libravatar Garima Singh1-0/+20
Add the core implementation for computing Bloom filters for the paths changed between a commit and it's first parent. We fill the Bloom filters as (const char *data, int len) pairs as `struct bloom_filters" within a commit slab. Filters for commits with no changes and more than 512 changes, is represented with a filter of length zero. There is no gain in distinguishing between a computed filter of length zero for a commit with no changes, and an uncomputed filter for new commits or for commits with more than 512 changes. The effect on `git log -- path` is the same in both cases. We will fall back to the normal diffing algorithm when we can't benefit from the existence of Bloom filters.

2020-03-30bloom.c: introduce core Bloom filter constructsLibravatar Garima Singh1-0/+48
Introduce the constructs for Bloom filters, Bloom filter keys and Bloom filter settings. For details on what Bloom filters are and how they work, refer to Dr. Derrick Stolee's blog post [1]. It provides a concise explanation of the adoption of Bloom filters as described in [2] and [3]. Implementation specifics: 1. We currently use 7 and 10 for the number of hashes and the size of each entry respectively. They served as great starting values, the mathematical details behind this choice are described in [1] and [4]. The implementation, while not completely open to it at the moment, is flexible enough to allow for tweaking these settings in the future. Note: The performance gains we have observed with these values are significant enough that we did not need to tweak these settings. The performance numbers are included in the cover letter of this series and in the commit message of the subsequent commit where we use Bloom filters to speed up `git log -- path`. 2. As described in [1] and [3], we do not need 7 independent hashing functions. We use the Murmur3 hashing scheme, seed it twice and then combine those to procure an arbitrary number of hash values. 3. The filters will be sized according to the number of changes in each commit, in multiples of 8 bit words.
