Those methods were private and used only once so no need for them.

Instead i used the same pattern used in storage (which i found clearer).

(in reply to: "Those methods were private and used only once so no need for them." comment above to the left).

After discussion with vlorentz, I now believe this diff can be splitted in 2.

One diff to change the sort order by default to "desc" on visit id for the
"origin-visit-get" endpoint. Currently it's historically "asc" but given its
current use, that does not seem to be the reasonable order. "desc" sounds like
a better default. So that means no need to open the "order" parameter as it's
done in the current diff state.

The other diff would be about the current "limit" parameter to open to both
"snapshot-get-latest" and "origin-get-latest-visit-status" functions.

Well, I'm not so sure anymore.
Looking at clients using that endoint, he webapp uses the last-visit
parameter which allows paginated results (assuming an ascending order).

I don't measure well the impacts of doing it in the descending order...

Although, prepared statement for cassandra are faster.
So that might need a bit of rework.

That's confusing, limit is usually the number of items *after* filtering, but you're limiting before filtering.

That's confusing, limit is usually the number of items *after* filtering, but you're limiting before filtering.

I don't follow the after/before filtering you mention. Maybe the tests scenario
are confusing because they use such a small limit though. I did not really want
to craft a more complicated scenario ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Implementation wise, that limit is passed through to the backend(s) which does
both the filtering and limit the results at the same time...

In any case, do you have a sample in mind for the limit use you are mentioning?

Thanks in advance.

If function(X, limit=1000) returns one item, then function(X, limit=1) should also return one item, not zero.

I don't follow the after/before filtering you mention. Maybe the tests scenario
are confusing because they use such a small limit though. I did not really want
to craft a more complicated scenario ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

It's not about the tests. origin_get_latest_visit_status gets limit records from the storage, then filters; instead of getting records until it gets enough to return limit records.

If function(X, limit=1000) returns one item, then function(X, limit=1) should also return one item, not zero.

I thought it made sense initially but now i'm no longer sure...
I think "limit" does not convey what i think it means...

It's not about the tests. origin_get_latest_visit_status gets limit records from the storage, then filters; instead of getting records until it gets enough to return limit records.

Yes, points towards "does not convey" what i think.
I think i perceive something...

I don't want to limit the number of records to return because those functions should
always be Optional[Union[OriginVisit, Snapshot]] so 0 or 1 (depending on the function heh).

I want to limit the query records looked up internally by the backend so that
it does not timeout. So "limit" seems to be the wrong term...
Also, I opened the parameter so clients can adapt that "limit".

But maybe what i want is iterate until we find something and not open that parameter at all?
Something like:

last_visit = -1
while last_visit is not None:
    visits = list(storage.origin_visit_get(
        origin_url,
        last_visit=None if last_visit == -1 else last_visit,
        order="desc", limit=10)
    )
    if not visits:
        return None
    last_visit = visits[-1]["visit"]

    visit_status: Optional[OriginVisitStatus] = None
    visit: Dict[str, Any]
    for visit in visits:
        if type is not None and visit["type"] != type:
            continue
        visit_status = storage.origin_visit_status_get_latest(
            origin_url,
            visit["visit"],
            allowed_statuses=allowed_statuses,
            require_snapshot=require_snapshot,
        )
        if visit_status is not None:
            return (OriginVisit.from_dict(visit), visit_status)

(pseudo ^, not tested yet)

If function(X, limit=1000) returns one item, then function(X, limit=1) should also return one item, not zero.

I thought it made sense initially but now i'm no longer sure...
I think "limit" does not convey what i think it means...

Yes, that was my point. Your code is correct, I just don't think the word limit is the right one.

But maybe what i want is iterate until we find something and not open that parameter at all?
Something like:

last_visit = -1
while last_visit is not None:
    visits = list(storage.origin_visit_get(
        origin_url,
        last_visit=None if last_visit == -1 else last_visit,
        order="desc", limit=10)
    )
    if not visits:
        return None
    last_visit = visits[-1]["visit"]

    visit_status: Optional[OriginVisitStatus] = None
    visit: Dict[str, Any]
    for visit in visits:
        if type is not None and visit["type"] != type:
            continue
        visit_status = storage.origin_visit_status_get_latest(
            origin_url,
            visit["visit"],
            allowed_statuses=allowed_statuses,
            require_snapshot=require_snapshot,
        )
        if visit_status is not None:
            return (OriginVisit.from_dict(visit), visit_status)

(pseudo ^, not tested yet)

That would be great. Best of both worlds: we don't fetch too many at once, but still get the correct result all the time.

(pseudo ^, not tested yet)

That actually works.
So no need to open that so-called "limit" parameter after all.
Instead, iterate over paginated results of origin-visit from descending order \o/.

Awesome!
Thanks for making me see the lights :)

Iterate over paginated visits in batches to retrieve latest visit/snapshot

This should stops the current timeouts on origin with a high number of visits.
