pack-bitmap: implement optional name_hash cache
When we use pack bitmaps rather than walking the object
graph, we end up with the list of objects to include in the
packfile, but we do not know the path at which any tree or
blob objects would be found.
In a recently packed repository, this is fine. A fetch would
use the paths only as a heuristic in the delta compression
phase, and a fully packed repository should not need to do
much delta compression.
As time passes, though, we may acquire more objects on top
of our large bitmapped pack. If clients fetch frequently,
then they never even look at the bitmapped history, and all
works as usual. However, a client who has not fetched since
the last bitmap repack will have "have" tips in the
bitmapped history, but "want" newer objects.
The bitmaps themselves degrade gracefully in this
circumstance. We manually walk the more recent bits of
history, and then use bitmaps when we hit them.
But we would also like to perform delta compression between
the newer objects and the bitmapped objects (both to delta
against what we know the user already has, but also between
"new" and "old" objects that the user is fetching). The lack
of pathnames makes our delta heuristics much less effective.
This patch adds an optional cache of the 32-bit name_hash
values to the end of the bitmap file. If present, a reader
can use it to match bitmapped and non-bitmapped names during
delta compression.
Here are perf results for p5310:

You can see that the time spent on an incremental fetch goes
down, as our delta heuristics are able to do their work.
And we save time on the partial bitmap clone for the same
reason.

pack-objects: use reachability bitmap index when generating non-stdout pack
Starting from 6b8fda2d (pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects)
if a repository has bitmap index, pack-objects can nicely speedup
"Counting objects" graph traversal phase. That however was done only for
case when resultant pack is sent to stdout, not written into a file.
The reason here is for on-disk repack by default we want:
- to produce good pack (with bitmap index not-yet-packed objects are
emitted to pack in suboptimal order).
- to use more robust pack-generation codepath (avoiding possible
bugs in bitmap code and possible bitmap index corruption).
Jeff King further explains:
The reason for this split is that pack-objects tries to determine how
"careful" it should be based on whether we are packing to disk or to
stdout. Packing to disk implies "git repack", and that we will likely
delete the old packs after finishing. We want to be more careful (so
as not to carry forward a corruption, and to generate a more optimal
pack), and we presumably run less frequently and can afford extra CPU.
Whereas packing to stdout implies serving a remote via "git fetch" or
"git push". This happens more frequently (e.g., a server handling many
fetching clients), and we assume the receiving end takes more
responsibility for verifying the data.
But this isn't always the case. One might want to generate on-disk
packfiles for a specialized object transfer. Just using "--stdout" and
writing to a file is not optimal, as it will not generate the matching
pack index.
So it would be useful to have some way of overriding this heuristic:
to tell pack-objects that even though it should generate on-disk
files, it is still OK to use the reachability bitmaps to do the
traversal.
So we can teach pack-objects to use bitmap index for initial object
counting phase when generating resultant pack file too:
- if we take care to not let it be activated under git-repack:
See above about repack robustness and not forward-carrying corruption.
- if we know bitmap index generation is not enabled for resultant pack:
The current code has singleton bitmap_git, so it cannot work
simultaneously with two bitmap indices.
We also want to avoid (at least with current implementation)
generating bitmaps off of bitmaps. The reason here is: when generating
a pack, not-yet-packed objects will be emitted into pack in
suboptimal order and added to tail of the bitmap as "extended entries".
When the resultant pack + some new objects in associated repository
are in turn used to generate another pack with bitmap, the situation
repeats: new objects are again not emitted optimally and just added to
bitmap tail - not in recency order.
So the pack badness can grow over time when at each step we have
bitmapped pack + some other objects. That's why we want to avoid
generating bitmaps off of bitmaps, not to let pack badness grow.
- if we keep pack reuse enabled still only for "send-to-stdout" case:
Because pack-to-file needs to generate index for destination pack, and
currently on pack reuse raw entries are directly written out to the
destination pack by write_reused_pack(), bypassing needed for pack index
generation bookkeeping done by regular codepath in write_one() and
friends.
( In the future we might teach pack-reuse code about cases when index
also needs to be generated for resultant pack and remove
pack-reuse-only-for-stdout limitation )
This way for pack-objects -> file we get nice speedup:
erp5.git[1] (~230MB) extracted from ~ 5GB lab.nexedi.com backup
repository managed by git-backup[2] via
time echo 0186ac99 | git pack-objects --revs erp5pack
before: 37.2s
after: 26.2s
And for `git repack -adb` packed git.git
time echo 5c589a73 | git pack-objects --revs gitpack
before: 7.1s
after: 3.6s
i.e. it can be 30% - 50% speedup for pack extraction.
git-backup extracts many packs on repositories restoration. That was my
initial motivation for the patch.
[1] https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/erp5
[2] https://lab.nexedi.com/kirr/git-backup
NOTE
Jeff also suggests that pack.useBitmaps was probably a mistake to
introduce originally. This way we are not adding another config point,
but instead just always default to-file pack-objects not to use bitmap
index: Tools which need to generate on-disk packs with using bitmap, can
pass --use-bitmap-index explicitly. And git-repack does never pass
--use-bitmap-index, so this way we can be sure regular on-disk repacking
remains robust.
NOTE2
`git pack-objects --stdout >file.pack` + `git index-pack file.pack` is much slower
than `git pack-objects file.pack`. Extracting erp5.git pack from
lab.nexedi.com backup repository:
$ time echo 0186ac99 | git pack-objects --stdout --revs >erp5pack-stdout.pack
real 0m22.309s
user 0m21.148s
sys 0m0.932s
$ time git index-pack erp5pack-stdout.pack
real 0m50.873s <-- more than 2 times slower than time to generate pack itself!
user 0m49.300s
sys 0m1.360s
So the time for
`pack-object --stdout >file.pack` + `index-pack file.pack` is 72s,
while
`pack-objects file.pack` which does both pack and index is 27s.
And even
`pack-objects --no-use-bitmap-index file.pack` is 37s.
Jeff explains:
The packfile does not carry the sha1 of the objects. A receiving
index-pack has to compute them itself, including inflating and applying
all of the deltas.
that's why for `git-backup restore` we want to teach `git pack-objects
file.pack` to use bitmaps instead of using `git pack-objects --stdout
>file.pack` + `git index-pack file.pack`.
NOTE3
The speedup is now tracked via t/perf/p5310-pack-bitmaps.sh

sys 0m0.932s
$ time git index-pack erp5pack-stdout.pack
real 0m50.873s <-- more than 2 times slower than time to generate pack itself!
user 0m49.300s
sys 0m1.360s
So the time for
`pack-object --stdout >file.pack` + `index-pack file.pack` is 72s,
while
`pack-objects file.pack` which does both pack and index is 27s.
And even
`pack-objects --no-use-bitmap-index file.pack` is 37s.
Jeff explains:
The packfile does not carry the sha1 of the objects. A receiving
index-pack has to compute them itself, including inflating and applying
all of the deltas.
that's why for `git-backup restore` we want to teach `git pack-objects
file.pack` to use bitmaps instead of using `git pack-objects --stdout
>file.pack` + `git index-pack file.pack`.
NOTE3
The speedup is now tracked via t/perf/p5310-pack-bitmaps.sh
