ClosedPublic

Summary

This is the minimal amount of code needed to switch from the old one to
the new one. If the new loader proves to be good enough, we may remove
the old one entirely.

    Replace old loader with the new one

    the old one entirely.

commit 5413622cd6cf1a584d1b9d300b3dd1f5a6e94ce6
Author: Raphaël Gomès <rgomes@octobus.net>
Date:   Mon Apr 26 23:33:20 2021 +0200

    Handle more cases of corruption
    
    Some corrupted repos have missing files or broken logical links in the
    underlying Mercurial datastructure, which means that say sometimes fail
    for a given revision. This does not mean we should throw away the rest
    of the repository. (Tested on repos of various levels and flavors of
    corruption in the Boatbucket archive)

commit c6c3b386ef246860e9292ab0331aaf32cf72d61b
Author: Raphaël Gomès <rgomes@octobus.net>
Date:   Mon Apr 26 23:28:50 2021 +0200

    Ignore the repository's config
    
    `HGRCPATH` only tells Mercurial to ignore the user's config files, but
    some repositories have a `.hg/hgrc` file (only in the case that you copy
    the files instead of cloning, if present) that is usually used for server-side
    configuration. We want to ignore this, since it might affect loading
    and ask for hooks that are not there or are otherwise annoying/dangerous,
    for example.

Author: Raphaël Gomès <rgomes@octobus.net>
Date:   Mon Apr 26 23:26:09 2021 +0200

    Also use minimal env in the new Mercurial loader
    
    The old loader (bundle2 loader) already received this treatment which
    ensures Mercurial doesn't pick up on any user customization, but I
    apparently forgot to apply the same changes to the new one.

    Use billiard instead of stdlib multiprocessing
    
    This circumvents a few celery-related issues, and is consistent with
    what the rest of the codebase does.

LGTM, but let's wait for a second opinion

LGTM, but let's wait for a second opinion

Sure!
Just to bring more info to the table: the loader is able to handle all corrupted repositories I could find and seems fast *enough* for most repositories. The Mozilla-Unified run was very slow because it's so much bigger (in every metric) than the vast majority of repositories out there. Not saying we can't do anything to improve the speed of the loader, but it might be good enough since repos this large are far and few.

Also... the old loader would just eat all of your RAM and die, so it's definitely an improvement! :D

Good to know ;) Thanks for the heads up.

As existing tests continue on passing with both loader, i guess it's fine. I'll validate
as me, let's see what others may say ;)

even if you accept the diff only as yourself, it leaves everyone's review queue.

This revision now requires review to proceed.Apr 28 2021, 12:44 PM

even if you accept the diff only as yourself, it leaves everyone's review queue.

... T.T ...
(there resigned as reviewer then, cleaned up the validation and removed reviewer, which resets the status on the diff)

Alternatively, you could just mark "Reviewers" as blocking reviewer ;)

cool, til, then, accepted back as me. Thanks.

I would have replaced this by an absolute import (to match the previous import statement) but meh

I'm not very fond of the name of all this (from_disk, HgLoaderFromDisk, etc.) since it makes people think it cannot deal with remote hg repos (which the HgLoaderFromDisk does, but this is not really advertized, as far as I can tell).

But let's kick this, and add tasks for better documentation/naming, some day...
