Showing pickle disassembly can sometimes be useful to analyse details of
the pickle content. We realized that in some data structures used in
ERP5 the same string was saved multiple times in the same pickle and by
using the exact same string (ie. for which `s1 is s2` is True), the
pickle will have the string only once and pickles are a bit smaller. For

    For the reference - contrary to ZODB5, restore tests on ZODB4 are currently
    [broken](https://nexedijs.erp5.net/#/test_result_module/20210317-B3AC205A/2).
    Restored file is not bit-to-bit identical to the original.

    The problem is that on commit/restore, we need to save
    user/description/extension. For extension `zodbdump.Transaction` provides
    .extension_bytes, which ZODB5 uses to save its raw copy. However ZODB4 goes
    through `.extension` and pickles it:

    https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/zodbtools/blob/129afa67/zodbtools/zodbdump.py#L425-453
    https://github.com/zopefoundation/ZODB/blob/4/src/ZODB/BaseStorage.py#L220-L240

    This leads to unpickle-repickle round-trip and different extension being committed on restore:

    ```diff
    diff --git a/1zdump b/2zdump

    What might save us is to somehow in Transaction.extension returns a
    dict-subclass object that is somehow pickled to the exact bytes remembered when
    it was created. However, after briefly checking, I could not find a mechanism
    to do so yet...

    @kirr we already have pytest fixtures to test differently depending on whether
    the ZODB version has support for extension_bytes, so what about using it in the
    test and testing restoring the extension bytes version of the dump only for
    ZODB5 ?

@kirr wrote (!19 (comment 129482))

    @jerome, yes we have this, but I believe we should actually fix zodbrestore to
    be reliable whatever ZODB is used. For ZODB5 it works. For ZODB4-wc2 we can
    adjust ZODB code to use extension_bytes similarly to how ZODB5 does. But
    unpatched ZODB4 is currently out of luck. As it was decided that Nexedi will
    use both ZODB4 and ZODB4-wc2, I think we should fix zodbrestore to work on all
    those versions to be reliable.

    /cc @tomo

@kirr:

-> No universal ZODB4 fix for now (this would require to monkey patch ZODB in
several places), so mark "restore with extension" test as xfail similarly to
how we already do for "dump with extension" test.

This brings -ZODB4 and -ZODB4-wc2 tests back to PASS state.

Even though on ZODB4 extension is restored not bit-to-bit exactly, it is
restored to be the same dictionary equal to what was used to produce the
dump. Not ideal, but still not loosing the information in practice.

One more reason to switch to ZODB5...

In the previous patch we taught object copy handler to report more
details, but it was still incomplete - the error was missing details
about which operation was run - commit, or restore of particular
transaction.

Noting that it can be also noted that other errors reported from that
function lack such context.

-> So fix it universally, at least for zodbcommit for now: set top-level
runctx to topic of what we are doing, and use that runctx when
generating errors. Runctx describes what we are running, and could be
also later used for logging and tracing. That's why it is called runctx
instead of just errctx for "error context".

TODO currently it is only exceptions that we explicitly raise which get
the context. If an exception is raised by something that we call - the
context won't be added. It would be good to later rework error handling
and append such context for any raised error. Defer and
https://lab.nexedi.com/kirr/go123/blob/863c4602/xerr/__init__.py has
something preliminary for this.

The particular error when restoring a missing object copy becomes

    ValueError: /tmp/demo002868462/δ0285cbac75555580/δ.fs: restore 0285cbacb70a3db3 @0285cbacb258bf66: object 0000000000000003: copy from @0285cbac70a3d733: no data

Zodbrestore is long-coming counterpart to zodbdump.
Implementation is internally based on reworked zodbcommit.

For FileStorage restored database is verified via test to be bit-to-bit
identical to the original.

For NEO it won't be exactly the case, as NEO does not implement
IStorageRestoreable: there is only tpc_begin(tid=...) but no restore().

Two-phase commit protocol assumes that after tpc_begin, it will be
either successful tpc_vote + tpc_finish, or tpc_abort. We were not
calling tpc_abort on an error, potentially leaving storage in "commit is

The patch that provides raw-extension functionality was merged into ZODB 5.6:

https://github.com/zopefoundation/ZODB/commit/2f8cc67a3ba3

So when testing with ZODB5 >= 5.6 the tests will excercise code path
that uses txn.extension_bytes, and when testing with ZODB4 the tests
will excercise code path that work-arounds lack of txn.extension_bytes.

Zodbdump format is text-binary and is saved into files opened in binary
mode. -> We have to emit bytes - not strings - into it, since otherwise
on Python3 it would break.

This needs qq support from pygolang[1] to be able to use qq with both
string and bytestring format, e.g. for

	 "hello %s" % qq(name),	and
	b"hello %s" % qq(name)

to give the same output irregardless of whether name is str or bytes.

[1] pygolang!1

Zodbdump format is already described as semi text-binary in top-level
zodbdump.py documentation. However zdump() docstring was referring to it
as "text". Fix it and use binary to handle places where zdump is
loaded/saved.

%r has different output for strings and bytes on python3:

	In [1]: a = 'hello'
	In [2]: b = b'hello'

	In [3]: repr(a)
	Out[3]: "'hello'"

	In [4]: repr(b)
	Out[4]: "b'hello'"

-> Use qq whose output is stable irregardless of whether input is string or bytes.

Similarly to go version: neo@151d8b79.

Starting with upcoming ZODB 5.5.2 ZODB tries to preserve
`extension_bytes` transaction metadata property in the raw form as it
was stored on disk in the database:

    https://github.com/zopefoundation/ZODB/commit/2f8cc67a

However now when running test/gen_testdata.py with ZODB with that patch (and
gen_testdata.py refuses to work if it detects that ZODB does not properly
supports .extension_bytes property because we want it to be present in the
generated test database [1,2]) it now breaks:

    $ ./gen_testdata.py
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "./gen_testdata.py", line 230, in <module>
        main()

        ext = transaction.extension_bytes
    AttributeError: 'Transaction' object has no attribute 'extension_bytes'

The breakage is because, as specified in ZODB interfaces[3,4], storage requires
ZODB.IStorageTransactionMetaData, not transaction.ITransaction instance
gen_testdata.py was using. The script used to work before just by luck.

The fix is to convert transaction instance into storage transaction metadata
object for the place where we talk to storage at raw level.

HOWEVER, when checking regenerated database and its dump I noticed:

ZODB >= 5.4.0 uses pickle protocol 3 on both python2 and python3

    https://github.com/zopefoundation/ZODB/commit/12ee41c4

In other words it saves e.g. OID of an object as pickle binary, which decodes
as bytes on py3 and zodbpickle.binary on py2 when decoding via zodbpickle.
However it will result in *DecodeError* when decoding on py2 with standard
pickle module. The latter means that ZODB3 will _fail_ to load data from test
database, because ZODB3 - contrary to ZODB4 and ZODB5 - uses std pickle module,
not zodbpickle.

We still care about ZODB3 and in particular it is included into
zodbtools test matrix:

    https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/zodbtools/blob/7bc0385e/tox.ini#L9-14

so we cannot break it.

-> Temporarily patch ZODB at runtime to make sure it emits data with
older protocol and without using zodbpickle.binary for oid, so that
generated test database could be loaded on ZODB3 as well.

gen_testdata.py now works with latest ZODB, but produces exactly the
same bit-to-bit output as before.

At present the migration to Python3 is not complete, and even though now I have the answer to how handle strings in both python2/3 in compatible and reasonable way (I can share details if you are interested), I have to put that work on hold for some time and use https://pypi.org/project/pep3134 directly in wcfs tests, since getting all string details right, even after figuring on how to do it, will take time. Anyway the bits presented here should be ready for master and could be merged now. Could you please have a look?

It will be fixed in the next patch.

----

kirr: use loggging as log and keep emitting warnings on one line.

this silents a warning about \w being unknown escape sequence

----

kirr: preserved _obj_re definition to be on 1 line.

until https://github.com/zopefoundation/ZODB/pull/183 gets merged, let's
run also the tests for this, since we have support for this extension.

also simplify a bit definition as ZODB is common in all versions

----

kirr:

- cover only last 2 py3 releases: 3.6 and 3.7 for now (3.8 is not yet
  released)
- separate ZODB3 as it supports only python2.

Py3 tests are failing for now and we'll be getting them to pass
incrementally - step by step.

Using dateparser to support absolute and relative dates in natural language.
