From 676a6b5a94d595b841672821ca175aa343d6d9c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "russell@unturf.com" Date: Tue, 26 May 2026 18:10:28 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] #000067 bench-max: 3 optimizations to cold-pack chunk-body fill MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Real-world measure 2026-05-26 18:43 UTC: hydrating an 11 GB post-reshard corpus (3.47M docs / 6.24M chunks) into a fresh 4-shard peer ran at ~32 MB/min per shard — extrapolating to ~4 hours total, the same speed as a fresh XML ingest. The whole point of a cold-pack restore is being MUCH faster than re-ingest; killed mid-flight and shipped these three optimizations: (1) Build leaf_hash → (target_idx, chunk_id) map once up front from each target's chunks table (M scans, total ~6M rows). Replaces M=4 SELECTs per incoming chunk_body — was 24M lookups, now 6M scan-once. ~4× win on the dispatch step. (2) Batched executemany UPDATE per target (BATCH=5000) — replaces the per-row `with transaction(target): UPDATE; INSERT_FTS` pattern that opened 6M tiny transactions. ~10× win on disk write throughput. (3) Skip chunks_fts during the fill loop entirely; defer to one bulk rebuild per target after all chunks are in place. Reuses the existing arborist.migrate._rebuild_fts_on_target primitive (decompresses via unpack_chunk, streams chunks → FTS via batched executemany). Each per-row chunks_fts insert costs an inverted-index update; bulk rebuild is ~10× faster than incremental. Plus PRAGMA synchronous=OFF on each target connection: genesis is end-to-end rebuildable (a crash mid-hydrate leaves empty shards we re-pull from the bucket), so durability of intermediate WAL pages is not required. WAL stays bounded by PRAGMA wal_checkpoint(TRUNCATE) at the end of phase 2b (already done implicitly by _rebuild_fts_on_target in phase 2c). Expected speedup: ~30-60× combined. Real number lands when the re-run on 3090-ai.foxhop.net completes. All 34 cold-unpack-routed + migrate tests pass unchanged. --- arborist/evict.py | 107 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------- 1 file changed, 69 insertions(+), 38 deletions(-) diff --git a/arborist/evict.py b/arborist/evict.py index 9a0702e..32db79e 100644 --- a/arborist/evict.py +++ b/arborist/evict.py @@ -861,48 +861,79 @@ def _pull_pack_inner_routed( finally: shutil.rmtree(tables_dir, ignore_errors=True) - # Phase 2: fill chunk content.
