Performance of tests on MacOS has been atrocious for a while, and
a lot of that is fsync, so we're trying to make that optional.
To test all of this, I modified RBF to panic if anything tried to
open an RBF database without disabling fsync, and ran the tests that
way, and tracked down the various places this could still happen.
There's a lot of places in our tree where we were creating
test holders which were not getting created with fsync disabled, which
results in a surprisingly large number of points at which we end
up calling fsync in tests, which makes tests much slower than they
need to be. There's also a bunch of places where the flags don't get
propagated correctly; for instance, storage.fsync didn't propagate
to the RBFConfig.
We add an "fsync enabled" flag to OpenTranslateStoreFunc, so we can
tell translation stores that we don't need syncing, so the server's
config can be passed on appropriately.
More of the test code that sets things up is correctly configuring
that flag by default.
We also change the barely-used bolt storage backend to support this as
well.
With this done, the only calls to fsync left in a run of `go test -short`
in the top-level directory are from the zap logger in etcd, and consumed
around 0.03 seconds. The overall impact is that `go test -short`
went from "takes enough more than 10 minutes that i don't know how long
it takes" to about 2.5 minutes.
The testhook/ package provides an easy way to set up multiple
hooks to run before/after tests are run.
The audit hooks track open and closes of storage backends,
files, indexes, and holders, for example. A tempdir wrapper
creates temporary directories which are automatically cleaned up
when the test ends. Any kind of resource creation that
should be closed at test conclusion can be tracked. We
will complain at the end of the TestMain if resources are
leaking.
Leaks under go1.13:
We use a wrapper function which is a no-op for go 1.13, but actually
calls testing.TB.Cleanup in go1.14, so we can still build with 1.13 even though
tests will leak files all over the place there. Because of this,
don't run the testhook tests when using 1.13, as they'll always fail.
- the test/pilosa.go http client now times out after 10 seconds
to help diagnose hung server situations.
- Makefile targets added to get better progress reports.
- rbf had races around the new rootRecords cache in tx
- rbf tx needed a write lock on the db now that rootRecords are written
- added a global registry for rbfDB to correctly dedup instances
- implement DeleteFragment, DeleteIndex for rbf
- use badger style keys for rbf to allow content checksumming to be list
containers in the same order
- lots of other integration of rbf into pilosa layer.
