Event Timeline

This logic is similar to one being used in db.skipped_content_missing. However the current implementation in_memory._content_add does not populate _skipped_contents and _skipped_content_indexes.

I think there are two ways to do it:

  • I can modify _content_add however I am not sure how to check decide whether content should be skipped. Is it by checking the algorithm used for hash or the length of content, if so what is the limit?
  • I can add a new function that explicitly only adds skipped contents.

It should be implemented to behave like in the postgresql storage (storage.py and db.py), so you should change _content_add, and use the same algorithm.

I have a concern here, storage.py line 120. The function self.content_missing can throw an exception in case of a hash collision. Shouldn't line 120 be in a try except block to catch that error and ignore that particular content?

Secondly, I don't fully understand what it means for content to be hidden or absent when can this happen?

In db.py line 128, the query does not compare blake2s256 despite content_hash_keys = ['sha1', 'sha1_git', 'sha256', 'blake2s256']. Does this mean that skipped content will never be hashed with blake2s256?

I did not find any mechanism in db.py that is actually storing skipped_content. db.py line 51, is passed without implementation.

For in memory content_add, I am adding skipped_content, similar to how regular content is being added.

  • Modify in_memory content_add to add skipped_content
  • Use all hashes in a content
  • Add break to prevent multiple yields

Thanks! As I mentioned on IRC, you should un-skip test_skipped_content_add in swh/storage/tests/test_in_memory.py, otherwise all this new code does not get tested at all.

  • Change index storage mechanism

You must also remove this function, or the test is still replaced by empty code.

Fixed skipped_content counter bug

You can remove these three affectations

87–88

Isn't status mandatory?

89–90

Hmm... why wasn't this needed before?

91–96

You don't need content_by_status as a temporary variable, just fill content_with_data and content_without_data directly in the loop.

98–103

Nitpick: I would prefer the function names to be named _content_add_absent and _content_add_present, so their relation with content_add/_content_add is clearer; and it's not confusing wrt the with_data argument.

I have used the logic in storage.py line 110. If status indeed mandatory, I can simplify the code.

98–103

These names look much better.

One last thing: could you squash your commits, and improve the commit message (eg. "add support for skipped content in the in-memory storage")
