Summary
  1. clients crash when they call the API with an iterator
  2. some backend implementations violate the contract by assuming the argument is a sequence (eg. by iterating twice on it, and assuming the elements are the same)
  3. no matter what we do, the endpoints will always get a list as argument in practice, because they go through the RPC framework
  4. there is no concrete (ha!) advantage in taking an Iterable rather than a List.

Isn't there the filter, retry and buffer proxy storage to adapt accordingly as well?

I was unsure about this but it seems it's the case (looking at the swh-site repository configuration, it seems we always pass by the remote storage at the end of the configuration).

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.Jul 29 2020, 3:13 PM

It has to be. If they didn't, we would have got errors

commit 1764aa111ea6aaee54ce4cb427ce12833a998e2b

    Fix upcoming type warning with swh.core > v0.1.2.
    
    origin_visit_status_get_latest expects an int, not Optional[int];
    but this error wasn't detected so far because mypy couldn't detect
    the type of the function.
    
    The next release of swh.core fixes that issue, so this fix is now
    needed to not trigger a mypy error.
