It now receives notifications about started/finished builds/steps via
PostgreSQL. This gets rid of the (substantial) overhead of starting
hydra-notify for every event. It also allows other programs (even on
other machines) to listen to Hydra notifications.
This adds a `InfluxDBNotification` plugin which is configured as:
```
<influxdb>
url = http://127.0.0.1:8086
db = hydra
</influxdb>
```
which will write a notification for every finished job to the
configured database in InfluxDB looking like:
```
hydra_build_status,cached=false,job=job,jobset=default,project=sample,repo=default,result=success,status=success,system=x86_64-linux build_id="1",build_status=0i,closure_size=584i,duration=0i,main_build_id="1",queued=0i,size=168i 1564156212
```
The creation of the `pg_trgm` extension needs superuser power. So,
this patch makes the extension creation in the Hydra NixOS module when
a local database is used.
If it is not possible to create this extension (remote database for
instance with nosuperuser), the creation of the `pg_trgm` index is
skipped (this index speedup queries on builds.drvpath) and warnings
are emitted:
initialising the Hydra database schema...
WARNING: Can not create extension pg_trgm: permission denied to create extension "pg_trgm"
WARNING: HINT: Temporary provide superuser role to your Hydra Postgresql user and run the script src/sql/upgrade-57.sql
WARNING: The pg_trgm index on builds.drvpath has been skipped (slower complex queries on builds.drvpath)
This allows to keep smooth migrations: the migration process doesn't
require a manual step (but this manual step is recommended on big
remote databases).
The search query uses the LIKE operator which requires a sequential
scan (it can't use the already existing B-tree index). This new
index (trigram) avoids a sequential scan of the builds table when the
LIKE operator is used.
Here is the analyze of a request on the builds table with this index:
explain analyze select * from builds where drvpath like '%k3r71gz0gv16ld8rhcp2bb8gb5w1xc4b%';

Currently, a full store path has to be provided to search in
builds. This patch permits to search jobs with a output path or
derivation hash.
Usecase: we are building Docker images with Hydra. The tag of the
Docker image is the hash of the image output path. This patch would
allow us to find back the build job from the tag of a running
container image.

No more need for a reproduction script! It just says something like
If you have Nix installed, you can reproduce this build on your own
machine by running the following command:
# nix build github:edolstra/dwarffs/09c823e977946668b63ad6c88ed358b48220f124:hydraJobs.build.x86_64-linux
This plugin expects as inputs to a jobset the following:
- gitlab_status_repo => Name of the repository input pointing to that
status updates should be POST'ed, i.e. the jobset has a git input
"nixexprs": "https://gitlab.example.com/project/nixexprs", in which
case "gitlab_status_repo" would be "nixexprs".
- gitlab_project_id => ID of the project in Gitlab, i.e. in the above
case the ID in gitlab of "nixexprs"
