The "--batch-size" option of "git multi-pack-index repack" command
is now used to specify that very small packfiles are collected into
one until the total size roughly exceeds it.
* ds/midx-repack-to-batch-size:
multi-pack-index: repack batches below --batch-size
|
|
Similar to the commit-graph format, the multi-pack-index format has a
byte in the header intended to track the hash version used to write the
file. This allows one to interpret the hash length without having the
context of the repository config specifying the hash length. This was
not modified as part of the SHA-256 work because the hash length was
automatically up-shifted due to that config.
Since we have this byte available, we can make the file formats more
obviously incompatible instead of relying on other context from the
repository.
Add a new oid_version() method in midx.c similar to the one in
commit-graph.c. This is specifically made separate from that
implementation to avoid artificially linking the formats.
The test impact requires a few more things than the corresponding change
in the commit-graph format. Specifically, 'test-tool read-midx' was not
writing anything about this header value to output. Since the value
available in 'struct multi_pack_index' is hash_len instead of a version
value, we output "20" or "32" instead of "1" or "2".
Since we want a user to not have their Git commands fail if their
multi-pack-index has the incorrect hash version compared to the
repository's hash version, we relax the die() to an error() in
load_multi_pack_index(). This has some effect on 'git multi-pack-index
verify' as we need to check that a failed parse of a file that exists is
actually a verify error. For that test that checks the hash version
matches, we change the corrupted byte from "2" to "3" to ensure the test
fails for both hash algorithms.

The --batch-size=<size> option of 'git multi-pack-index repack' is
intended to limit the amount of work done by the repack. In the case of
a large repository, this command should repack a number of small
pack-files but leave the large pack-files alone. Most often, the
repository has one large pack-file from a 'git clone' operation and
number of smaller pack-files from incremental 'git fetch' operations.
The issue with '--batch-size' is that it also _prevents_ the repack from
happening if the expected size of the resulting pack-file is too small.
This was intended as a way to avoid frequent churn of small pack-files,
but it has mostly caused confusion when a repository is of "medium"
size. That is, not enormous like the Windows OS repository, but also not
so small that this incremental repack isn't valuable.
The solution presented here is to collect pack-files for repack if their
expected size is smaller than the batch-size parameter until either the
total expected size exceeds the batch-size or all pack-files are
considered. If there are at least two pack-files, then these are
combined to a new pack-file whose size should not be too much larger
than the batch-size.
This new strategy should succeed in keeping the number of pack-files
small in these "medium" size repositories. The concern about churn is
likely not interesting, as the real control over that is the frequency
in which the repack command is run.

When selecting a batch of pack-files to repack in the "git
multi-pack-index repack" command, Git should respect the
repack.packKeptObjects config option. When false, this option says that
the pack-files with an associated ".keep" file should not be repacked.
This config value is "false" by default.
There are two cases for selecting a batch of objects. The first is the
case where the input batch-size is zero, which specifies "repack
everything". The second is with a non-zero batch size, which selects
pack-files using a greedy selection criteria. Both of these cases are
updated and tested.

The use of 'touch -m' to modify a file's mtime is slightly less
portable than using our own 'test-tool chmtime'. The important
thing is that these pack-files are ordered in a special way to
ensure the multi-pack-index selects some as the "newer" pack-files
when resolving duplicate objects.

When verifying a midx index with 0 objects, the
m->num_objects - 1
underflows and wraps around to 4294967295.
Fix this both by checking that the midx contains at least one oid,
and also that we don't write any midx when there is no packfiles.
Update the tests to check that `git multi-pack-index write` does
not write an midx when there is no objects, and another to check
that `git multi-pack-index verify` warns when it verifies an midx with no
objects. For this last test, use t5319/no-objects.midx which was
generated by an older version of git.

When using SHA-1, the existing value of the byte we use is 0x13, so
writing the byte 0x07 serves to corrupt the test and verify that we
detect corruption. However, when we use SHA-256, the value at that
offset is already 0x07, so our "corruption" doesn't work and the test
fails to detect it.
To provide a value that is truly out of range, let's use 0xff, which is
not likely to be a valid value as the high byte of a two-byte offset in
a multi-pack index this small.

The 'git multi-pack-index repack' command can take a batch size of
zero, which creates a new pack-file containing all objects in the
multi-pack-index. The first 'repack' command will create one new
pack-file, and an 'expire' command after that will delete the old
pack-files, as they no longer contain any referenced objects in the
multi-pack-index.
We must remove the .keep file that was added in the previous test
in order to expire that pack-file.
Also test that a 'repack' will do nothing if there is only one
pack-file.

are not needed from the perspective of the multi-pack-index. If
a pack has a .keep file, then we should not delete that pack. Add
a test that ensures we preserve a pack that would otherwise be
expired. First, create a new pack that contains every object in
the repo, then add it to the multi-pack-index. Then create a .keep
file for a pack starting with "a-pack" that was added in the
previous test. Finally, expire and verify that the pack remains

During development of the multi-pack-index expire subcommand, a
version went out that improperly computed the pack order if a new
pack was introduced while other packs were being removed. Part of
the subtlety of the bug involved the new pack being placed before
other packs that already existed in the multi-pack-index.

creates new packs that are lexicographically sorted before and

To repack with a non-zero batch-size, first sort all pack-files by
their modified time. Second, walk those pack-files from oldest
to newest, compute their expected size, and add the packs to a list
if they are smaller than the given batch-size. Stop when the total
expected size is at least the batch size.
If the batch size is zero, select all packs in the multi-pack-index.
Finally, collect the objects from the multi-pack-index that are in
the selected packs and send them to 'git pack-objects'. Write a new
multi-pack-index that includes the new pack.
Using a batch size of zero is very similar to a standard 'git repack'
command, except that we do not delete the old packs and instead rely
on the new multi-pack-index to prevent new processes from reading the
old packs. This does not disrupt other Git processes that are currently
reading the old packs based on the old multi-pack-index.
While first designing a 'git multi-pack-index repack' operation, I
started by collecting the batches based on the actual size of the
objects instead of the size of the pack-files. This allows repacking
a large pack-file that has very few referencd objects. However, this
came at a significant cost of parsing pack-files instead of simply
reading the multi-pack-index and getting the file information for
the pack-files. The "expected size" version provides similar
behavior, but could skip a pack-file if the average object size is
much larger than the actual size of the referenced objects, or
can create a large pack if the actual size of the referenced objects
is larger than the expected size.

In an environment where the multi-pack-index is useful, it is due
to many pack-files and an inability to repack the object store
into a single pack-file. However, it is likely that many of these
pack-files are rather small, and could be repacked into a slightly
larger pack-file without too much effort. It may also be important
to ensure the object store is highly available and the repack
operation does not interrupt concurrent git commands.
Introduce a 'repack' subcommand to 'git multi-pack-index' that
takes a '--batch-size' option. The subcommand will inspect the
multi-pack-index for referenced pack-files whose size is smaller
than the batch size, until collecting a list of pack-files whose
sizes sum to larger than the batch size. Then, a new pack-file
will be created containing the objects from those pack-files that
are referenced by the multi-pack-index. The resulting pack is
likely to actually be smaller than the batch size due to
compression and the fact that there may be objects in the pack-
files that have duplicate copies in other pack-files.
The current change introduces the command-line arguments, and we
add a test that ensures we parse these options properly. Since
we specify a small batch size, we will guarantee that future
implementations do not change the list of pack-files.
In addition, we hard-code the modified times of the packs in
the pack directory to ensure the list of packs sorted by modified
time matches the order if sorted by size (ascending). This will
be important in a future test.

The 'git multi-pack-index expire' subcommand looks at the existing
mult-pack-index, counts the number of objects referenced in each
pack-file, deletes the pack-fils with no referenced objects, and
rewrites the multi-pack-index to no longer reference those packs.
Refactor the write_midx_file() method to call write_midx_internal()
which now takes an existing 'struct multi_pack_index' and a list
of pack-files to drop (as specified by the names of their pack-
indexes). As we write the new multi-pack-index, we drop those
file names from the list of known pack-files.
The expire_midx_packs() method removes the unreferenced pack-files
after carefully closing the packs to avoid open handles.
Test that a new pack-file that covers the contents of two other
pack-files leads to those pack-files being deleted during the
expire subcommand. Be sure to read the multi-pack-index to ensure
it no longer references those packs.

The multi-pack-index tracks objects in a collection of pack-files.
Only one copy of each object is indexed, using the modified time
of the pack-files to determine tie-breakers. It is possible to
have a pack-file with no referenced objects because all objects
have a duplicate in a newer pack-file.
Introduce a new 'expire' subcommand to the multi-pack-index builtin.
This subcommand will delete these unused pack-files and rewrite the
multi-pack-index to no longer refer to those files. More details
about the specifics will follow as the method is implemented.
Add a test that verifies the 'expire' subcommand is correctly wired,
but will still be valid when the verb is implemented. Specifically,
create a set of packs that should all have referenced objects and
should not be removed during an 'expire' operation. The packs are
created carefully to ensure they have a specific order when sorted
by size. This will be important in a later test.

When we have a multi-pack-index that covers many packfiles, we try to
avoid opening the .idx for those packfiles. To do that we feed the pack
name to midx_contains_pack(). But that function wants to see only the
basename, which we compute using strrchr() to find the final slash. But
that leaves an extra "/" at the start of our string.
We can fix this by incrementing the pointer. That also raises the
question of what to do when the name does not have a '/' at all. This
should generally not happen (we always find files in "pack/"), but it
doesn't hurt to be defensive here.
Let's wrap all of that up in a helper function and make it publicly
available, since a later patch will need to use it, too.
The tests don't notice because there's nothing about opening those .idx
files that would cause us to give incorrect output. It's just a little
slower. The new test checks this case by corrupting the covered .idx,
and then making sure we don't complain about it.
We also have to tweak t5570, which intentionally corrupts a .idx file
and expects us to notice it. When run with GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX,
this will fail since we now will (correctly) not bother opening the .idx
at all. We can fix that by unconditionally dropping any midx that's
there, which ensures we'll have to read the .idx.

The multi-pack-index feature is tested in isolation by
t5319-multi-pack-index.sh, but there are many more interesting
scenarios in the test suite surrounding pack-file data shapes
and interactions. Since the multi-pack-index is an optional
data structure, it does not make sense to include it by default
in those tests.
Instead, add a new GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX environment variable
that enables core.multiPackIndex and writes a multi-pack-index
after each 'git repack' command. This adds extra test coverage
when needed.
There are a few spots in the test suite that need to react to this
change:
* t5319-multi-pack-index.sh: there is a test that checks that
'git repack' deletes the multi-pack-index. Disable the environment
variable to ensure this still happens.
* t5310-pack-bitmaps.sh: One test moves a pack-file from the object
directory to an alternate. This breaks the multi-pack-index, so
delete the multi-pack-index at this point, if it exists.
* t9300-fast-import.sh: One test verifies the number of files in
the .git/objects/pack directory is exactly 8. Exclude the
multi-pack-index from this count so it is still 8 in all cases.

The final pair of chunks for the multi-pack-index file stores the object
offsets. We default to using 32-bit offsets as in the pack-index version
1 format, but if there exists an offset larger than 32-bits, we use a
trick similar to the pack-index version 2 format by storing all offsets
at least 2^31 in a 64-bit table; we use the 32-bit table to point into
that 64-bit table as necessary.
We only store these 64-bit offsets if necessary, so create a test that
manipulates a version 2 pack-index to fake a large offset. This allows
us to test that the large offset table is created, but the data does not
match the actual packfile offsets. The multi-pack-index offset does match
the (corrupted) pack-index offset, so a future feature will compare these
offsets during a 'verify' step.

The multi-pack-index needs to track which packfiles it indexes. Store
these in our first required chunk. Since filenames are not well
structured, add padding to keep good alignment in later chunks.
Modify the 'git multi-pack-index read' subcommand to output the
existence of the pack-file name chunk. Modify t5319-multi-pack-index.sh
to reflect this new output and the new expected number of chunks.
Defense in depth: A pattern we are using in the multi-pack-index feature
is to verify the data as we write it. We want to ensure we never write
invalid data to the multi-pack-index. There are many checks that verify
that the values we are writing fit the format definitions. This mainly
helps developers while working on the feature, but it can also identify
issues that only appear when dealing with very large data sets. These
large sets are hard to encode into test cases.

with these basics so we can add the rest of the format in small
increments.
As we implement the format, we will use a technique to check that our
computed offsets within the multi-pack-index file match what we are
actually writing. Each method that writes to the hashfile will return
the number of bytes written, and we will track that those values match
our expectations.
Currently, write_midx_header() returns 12, but is not checked. We will
check the return value in a later commit.

In anticipation of writing multi-pack-indexes, add a skeleton
'git multi-pack-index write' subcommand and send the options to a
write_midx_file() method. Also create a skeleton test script that
tests the 'write' subcommand.
