The hydra-update-gc-roots script is taking around 95 minutes on our
Hydra instance (though a lot of that is I/O wait). This patch
significantly reduces the number of database queries. In particular,
the N most recent successful builds for each job in a jobset are now
determined in a single query. Also, it removes the calls to
readlink().
Prepared statements are sometimes much slower than unprepared
statements, because the planner doesn't have access to the query
parameters. This is the case for the active build steps query (in
/status), where a prepared statement is three orders of magnitude
slower. So disable the use of prepared statements in this case.
(Since the query parameters are constant here, it would be nicer if we
could tell DBIx::Class to prepare a statement with those parameters
fixed. But I don't know an easy way to do so.)
For schema upgrades, hydra-init executes the files
src/sql/upgrade-<N>.sql, each of which upgrades the schema from
version N-1 to N. The upgrades are wrapped in a transaction.
In hydra-evaluator, reuse an SVN working copy between runs (similar to
what we do with Git and other input types). This reduces network
traffic in the common case.
Also, don't use nix-prefetch-svn. It doesn't do anything useful.
The underscores are ugly and the .pl extension is an implementation
detail that shouldn't be visible to the outside.
Also, get rid of the *.in files. It's not really necessary to
generate them. And I was always modifying the wrong file.
to predict how much disk space a package will require.
* Compute the output / closure size using the info stored in the
Nix database (rather than doing a slow "du").
* Store the system type in the BuildSteps table.
* Don't query the queue size when serving static pages. This prevents
two unnecessary database queries per request.
