ca-specific-schema.sql: add index on RealisationsRefs(referrer) and (outputPath) For a typical desktop system (~2K packages) we can easily get 100K entries in RealisationsRefs. Without indices query for RealisationsRefs requires linear scan. RealisationsRefs(referrer) -------------------------- Inefficiency is seen as a 100% CPU load of nix-daemon for the following scenario: $ nix edit -f . bash # add unused environment variable, like FOO="1" # populate RealisationsRefs, build fresh system $ nix build -f nixos system --arg config '{ contentAddressedByDefault = true; }' $ nix edit -f . bash # add unused environment variable, like FOO="2" $ time nix build -f nixos system --arg config '{ contentAddressedByDefault = true; }' In this case `bash `will be rebuilt a few times and then rest of CPU time is spent on scanning RealisationsRefs table (about 5 CPU-minutes on my machine). Before the change: $ time nix build -f nixos system ... # step 4 above real 34m3,613s user 0m5,232s sys 0m0,758s Of all this time about 29.5 minutes are taken by nix-daemon's CPU time. After the change: $ time nix build -f nixos system ... # step 4 above real 4m50,061s user 0m5,038s sys 0m0,677s Of all this time about 1 minute is taken by nix-daemon's CPU time. Most of the time is spent polling for non-existent realisations on cache-nixos.org. Realisations(outputPath) ------------------------ After running CA system for two weeks I got ~1M entries in Realisations table. `nix-collect-garbage` became very slow (seemingly 100 path deletions per second). It happens due to a slow cascading delete from Realisations triggered by deletion from ValidPaths. The fix is to add an index on primary key from ValidPaths(id) that triggers cascading deletions. Before the change: $ time nix-collect-garbage -d --max-freed 100G <interrupted before finish, took too long> real 23m32.411s user 17m49.679s sys 4m50.609s Most of time was spent in re-scanning Realisations table on each path deletion. After the change: $ time nix-collect-garbage -d --max-freed 100G real 8m43.226s user 6m16.317s sys 1m40.188s Time is spent scanning sqlite indices and in kernel when unlinking directories.
