From 1771be90c8e4797c2466296d1d570dbfa39d9743 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Derrick Stolee Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2019 11:14:29 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] commit-graph: merge commit-graph chains When searching for a commit in a commit-graph chain of G graphs with N commits, the search takes O(G log N) time. If we always add a new tip graph with every write, the linear G term will start to dominate and slow the lookup process. To keep lookups fast, but also keep most incremental writes fast, create a strategy for merging levels of the commit-graph chain. The strategy is detailed in the commit-graph design document, but is summarized by these two conditions: 1. If the number of commits we are adding is more than half the number of commits in the graph below, then merge with that graph. 2. If we are writing more than 64,000 commits into a single graph, then merge with all lower graphs. The numeric values in the conditions above are currently constant, but can become config options in a future update. As we merge levels of the commit-graph chain, check that the commits still exist in the repository. A garbage-collection operation may have removed those commits from the object store and we do not want to persist them in the commit-graph chain. This is a non-issue if the 'git gc' process wrote a new, single-level commit-graph file. After we merge levels, the old graph-{hash}.graph files are no longer referenced by the commit-graph-chain file. We will expire these files in a future change.

Instead, we use a merge +strategy to decide when the stack should collapse some number of levels. + +The diagram below shows such a collapse. As a set of new commits are added, it +is determined by the merge strategy that the files should collapse to +`graph-{hash1}`. Thus, the new commits, the commits in `graph-{hash2}` and +the commits in `graph-{hash1}` should be combined into a new `graph-{hash3}` +file. + + +---------------------+ + | | + | (new commits) | + | | + +---------------------+ + | | + +-----------------------+ +---------------------+ + | graph-{hash2} |->| | + +-----------------------+ +---------------------+ + | | | + +-----------------------+ +---------------------+ + | | | | + | graph-{hash1} |->| | + | | | | + +-----------------------+ +---------------------+ + | tmp_graphXXX + +-----------------------+ + | | + | | + | | + | graph-{hash0} | + | | + | | + | | + +-----------------------+ + +During this process, the commits to write are combined, sorted and we write the +contents to a temporary file, all while holding a `commit-graph-chain.lock` +lock-file. When the file is flushed, we rename it to `graph-{hash3}` +according to the computed `{hash3}`. Finally, we write the new chain data to +`commit-graph-chain.lock`: + +``` + {hash3} + {hash0} +``` + +We then close the lock-file. + +## Merge Strategy + +When writing a set of commits that do not exist in the commit-graph stack of +height N, we default to creating a new file at level N + 1. We then decide to +merge with the Nth level if one of two conditions hold: + + 1. The expected file size for level N + 1 is at least half the file size for + level N. + + 2. Level N + 1 contains more than 64,0000 commits. + +This decision cascades down the levels: when we merge a level we create a new +set of commits that then compares to the next level. + +The first condition bounds the number of levels to be logarithmic in the total +number of commits. The second condition bounds the total number of commits in +a `graph-{hashN}` file and not in the `commit-graph` file, preventing +significant performance issues when the stack merges and another process only +partially reads the previous stack. + +The merge strategy values (2 for the size multiple, 64,000 for the maximum +number of commits) could be extracted into config settings for full +flexibility. + Related Links ------------- [0] https://bugs.chromium.org/p/git/issues/detail?id=8 diff --git a/commit-graph.c b/commit-graph.c index 1224309e5f..fb3100921c 100644 --- a/commit-graph.c +++ b/commit-graph.c @@ -1298,36 +1298,6 @@ static int write_graph_chunk_base(struct hashfile *f, return 0;
