This algorithm will be internally used by ΔBtail in the next patch.

The algorithm would be simple, if we would need to diff two trees
completely. However in ΔBtail only subpart of BTree nodes are tracked(*)
and the diff has to work modulo that tracking set.

No tests now because ΔBtail tests will cover treediff functionality as well.

Some preliminary history:

Quoting treediff documentation:

treediff provides diff for BTrees

Use δZConnectTracked + treediff to compute BTree-diff caused by δZ:

    δZConnectTracked(δZ, trackSet)                         -> δZTC, δtopsByRoot
    treediff(root, δtops, δZTC, trackSet, zconn{Old,New})  -> δT, δtrack, δtkeycov

δZConnectTracked computes BTree-connected closure of δZ modulo tracked set
and also returns δtopsByRoot to indicate which tree objects were changed and
in which subtree parts. With that information one can call treediff for each
changed root to compute BTree-diff and δ for trackSet itself.

BTree diff algorithm

diffT, diffB and δMerge constitute the diff algorithm implementation.
diff(A,B) works on pair of A and B whole key ranges splitted into regions
covered by tree nodes. The splitting represents current state of recursion
into corresponding tree. If a node in particular key range is Bucket, that
bucket contributes to δ- in case of A, and to δ+ in case of B. If a node in
particular key range is Tree, the algorithm may want to expand that tree
node into its children and to recourse into some of the children.

There are two phases:

- Phase 1 expands A top->down driven by δZTC, adds reached buckets to δ-,
  and queues key regions of those buckets to be processed on B.

- Phase 2 starts processing from queued key regions, expands them on B and
  adds reached buckets to δ+. Then it iterates to reach consistency in between
  A and B because processing buckets on B side may increase δ key coverage,
  and so corresponding key ranges has to be again processed on A. Which in
  turn may increase δ key coverage again, and needs to be processed on B side,
  etc...

The final δ is merge of δ- and δ+.

diffT has more detailed explanation of phase 1 and phase 2 logic.

This data structures will be used in ΔBtail to maintain sef of tracked
BTree nodes, and to represent δ to such set.

Quoting PPTreeSubSet and ΔPPTreeSubSet documentation:

---- 8< ----

PPTreeSubSet represents PP-connected subset of tree node objects.

It is

    PP(xleafs)

where PP(node) maps node to {node, node.parent, node.parent,parent, ...} up
to top root from where the node is reached.

The nodes in the set are represented by their Oid.

Usually PPTreeSubSet is built as PP(some-leafs), but in general the starting
nodes are arbitrary. PPTreeSubSet can also have many root nodes, thus not
necessarily representing a subset of a single tree.

Usual set operations are provided: Union, Difference and Intersection.

Nodes can be added into the set via AddPath. Path is reverse operation - it
returns path to tree node given its oid.

Every node in the set comes with .parent pointer.

~~~~

ΔPPTreeSubSet represents a change to PPTreeSubSet.

It can be applied via PPTreeSubSet.ApplyΔ .

The result B of applying δ to A is:

    B = A.xDifference(δ.Del).xUnion(δ.Add)		(*)

(*) NOTE δ.Del and δ.Add might have their leafs starting from non-leaf nodes in A/B.
    This situation arises when δ represents a change in path to particular
    node, but that node itself does not change, for example:

           c*             c
          / \            /
        41*  42         41
         |    |         | \
        22   43        46  43
              |         |   |
             44        22  44

    Here nodes {c, 41} are changed, node 42 is unlinked, and node 46 is added.
    Nodes 43 and 44 stay unchanged.

        δ.Del = c-42-43   | c-41-22
        δ.Add = c-41-43   | c-41-46-22

    The second component with "-22" builds from leaf, but the first
    component with "-43" builds from non-leaf node.

        ΔnchildNonLeafs = {43: +1}

    Only complete result of applying all

        - xfixup(-1, ΔnchildNonLeafs)
        - δ.Del,
        - δ.Add, and
        - xfixup(+1, ΔnchildNonLeafs)

    produces correctly PP-connected set.

RangedMap is Key->VALUE map with adjacent keys mapped to the same value coalesced into Ranges.
RangedKeySet is set of Keys with adjacent keys coalesced into Ranges.

This data structures will be needed for ΔBtail.

For now the implementation is simple since it keeps whole map in a
linear slice because both RangedMap and RangedKeySet will be used in
ΔBtail to keep something proportional to δ of a change, which is assumed
to be small or medium most of the time.

Add treeenv.go that combines Treegen and client side access to ZODB with
committed trees as extension to testing.T . The environment allows to
easily see which tree update was committed, what is the difference in
terms of KV, what is the state of updated tree and state of pointed-to
ZBlk objects.

This will be used to test upcoming ΔBtail and ΔFtail.

Main functionality is in treeenv.go; the other added files are to
support that.

Lacking generics we have set.go.in and instantiation for Set[int64],
set[string], Set[Oid] and Set[Tid] - that will be used in follow-up
patches.

The set.go.in itself is mostly a generalized copy from git-backup:

https://lab.nexedi.com/kirr/git-backup/blob/c9db60e8/set.go

treegen.go and treegen.py together provide a way

- to commit a particular BTree topology into ZODB, and
- to generate set of random tree topologies that all correspond to particular {k->v} dict.

this will be used in upcoming ΔBtail and ΔFtail tests.

See treegen.py documentation for details.

Some preliminary history:

kirr/wendelin.core@9eca74ec    X Teach AllStructs to emit topologies with values
kirr/wendelin.core@1b962f03    X Restructure: found bug that it was not marking objects as modified

This will be the place to keep BTree-related utilities.
For now it provides only type aliases since Go lacks generics.

To handle invalidations, WCFS will need to detect changes to both ZBlk
objects and to ZBigFile.blktab BTree that is mapping file blocks to ZBlk
objects. And with BTree detecting changes is much more complex, because
when a BTree changes, it might be rebalanced, or keys migrated from one
tree/bucket node to another tree/bucket node. In other words a BTree
change might be not only a change to a {}key->value dictionary, but also
a change to BTree topology.

Because there are many BTree topologies that correspond to the same
{}key->value state, a change from kv₁ to kv₂, even if kv₁ and kv₂ are
close to each other, might be accompanied by a dramatic change to
topology of the tree. This creates a need for thoroughly testing the
BTree difference algorithm because many of BTree topologies changes are
tricky, and if a simple algorithm works on relatively stable topology
updates, it does not necessarily mean that that same algorithm will
continue to work correctly in the general case.

So, as a preparatory step, here comes xbtree.py package, that can be
used to inspect tree topologies, to create trees with specified topology
and to manipulate topology of an existing tree. This package will be
used in tests for upcoming ΔBtail.

For debugging, and also since those tests will involve both Go and
Python parts, it creates the need to be able to specify and exchange
topology of a tree via compact string. This package also defines so
called "topology encoding" to do so.

kirr/wendelin.core@9181c5d9    X Restructure; verify that it marks as changed only modifed nodes
kirr/wendelin.core@e9902c4a    X improve `xbtree topoview`

For the reference xbtree.py package documentation is quoted below.

---- 8< ----

Package xbtree provides utilities for inspecting/manipulating internal
structure of integer-keyed BTrees.

It will be primarily used to help verify ΔBTail in WCFS.

- `Tree` represents a tree node.
- `Bucket` represents a bucket node.
- `StructureOf` returns internal structure of ZODB BTree represented as Tree
  and Bucket nodes.
- `Restructure` reorganizes ZODB BTree instance according to specified topology
  structure.

- `AllStructs` generates all possible BTree topology structures with given keys.

Topology encoding
-----------------

Topology encoding provides way to represent structure of a Tree as path-like string.

TopoEncode converts Tree into its topology-encoded representation, while
TopoDecode decodes topology-encoded string back into Tree.

The following example illustrates topology encoding represented by string
"T3/T-T/B1-T5/B-B7,8,9":

      [ 3 ]             T3/         represents Tree([3])
       / \
     [ ] [ ]            T-T/        represents two empty Tree([])
      ↓   ↓
     |1|[ 5 ]           B1-T5/      represent Bucket([1]) and Tree([5])
         / \
        || |7|8|9|      B-B7,8,9    represents empty Bucket([]) and Bucket([7,8,9])

Topology encoding specification:

A Tree is encoded by level-order traversal, delimiting layers with "/".
Inside a layer Tree and Bucket nodes are signalled as

    "T<keys>"           ; Tree
    "B<keys>"           ; Bucket with only keys
    "B<keys+values>"    ; Bucket with keys and values

Keys are represented as ","-delimited list of integers. For example Tree
or Bucket with [1,3,5] keys are represented as

    "T1,3,5"        ; Tree([1,3,5])
    "B1,3,5"        ; Bucket([1,3,5])

Keys+values are represented as ","-delimited list of "<key>:<value>" pairs. For
example Bucket corresponding to {1:1, 2:4, 3:9} is represented as

    "B1:1,2:4,3:9"  ; Bucket([1,2,3], [1,4,9])

Empty keys+values are represented as ":" - an empty Bucket for key->value
mapping is represented as

    "B:"            ; Bucket([], [])

Nodes inside one layer are delimited with "-". For example a layer consisting
of an empty Tree, a Tree with [1,3] keys, and Bucket with [4,5] keys is
represented as

    "T-T1,3-B4,5"   ; layer with Tree([]), Tree([1,3]) and Bucket([4,5])

A layer consists of nodes that are followed by node-node links from upper layer
in left-to-right order.

Visualization
-------------

The following visualization utilities are provided to help understand BTrees
better:

- `topoview` displays BTree structure given its topology-encoded representation.
- `Tree.graphviz` returns Tree graph representation in dot language.

For WCFS to be efficient it will have to carefully preserve OS cache on
file invalidations. As preparatory step establish infrastructure for
verifying state of OS file cache and start asserting on OS cache state
in a couple of places.

See comments added to tFile constructor that describe how OS cache state
verification is setup.

Provide filesystem view of in-ZODB ZBigFiles, but do not implement support for
invalidations nor isolation protocol yet. In particular, because ZODB
invalidations are not yet handled, the filesystem does not update its data in
accordance with ZODB updates, and instead provides stale data view that
corresponds to the state of ZODB at the time when wcfs was mounted.

The main parts of this patch are:

- wcfs/wcfs.go is filesystem implementation itself together with overview.
- wcfs/__init__.py is python wrapper to spawn and interoperate with that filesystem.
- wcfs/wcfs_test.py is tests.

Add functionality to load objects from ZODB as saved by py wendelin.core.
Mostly straightforward code.
The main part is in zblk.go .

Contrary to python implementation, go can load ZBlk1's subobjects in
parallel, which, given scalable ZODB storage, can be significantly
faster compared to serially loading all ZData subobjects as py code
does.

TODO test wrt data saved by Python3.

Some preliminary history:

kirr/wendelin.core@878b2787 X draft loading
kirr/wendelin.core@bf9a7405 X No longer rely on ZODB cache invariant for invalidations

kirr/wendelin.core@b74dda09 X Start switching Track from Track(key) to Track(keycov)

Add initial stub for WCFS program and tests.
WCFS functionality will be added step-by-step in follow-up commits.

Some preliminary history:

kirr/wendelin.core@23528eb4       X wcfs: make it to use go modules for dependencies

In 6637d216 (lib/zodb: Add zstor_2zurl - way to convert a ZODB storage
into URL to access it) we added zstor_2zurl function to convert a ZODB
storage client object into an URL to access the storage. At that time
the function knew how to understand FileStorage only. Let's add support
for other storages that WCFS will need to support now.

NEO URI scheme matches the one currently used on ZODB/go side. It
semantically needs neoppod!18
to be also applied to NEO/py side, but we do not care for now that that
patch is not merged (yet, or forever) because extracted ZURL is used
only with WCFS which uses NEO/go.

NEO support also depends on custom patch to remember SSL credentials on
NEO Client:

kirr/neo@a2f192cb

Some preliminary history:

kirr/wendelin.core@5cb39463    fixup! X wcfs/zeo started to work locally
kirr/wendelin.core@1cf3b228    X zstor_2zurl += NEO
kirr/wendelin.core@7f8fa32a    X lib/zodb: zstor_2zurl += NEO/SSL support
kirr/wendelin.core@e26524df    X wcfs, lib/zodb: DemoStorage support

Upcoming libwcfs (C++ part of WCFS client) will need to use virtmem code
and link to libvirtmem.

Manaully, because there is no automatic dependency tracking in
setuptools...

Dependency tracking is needed to avoid miscompilation after incremental
update under SlapOS/buildout/testnode/... when e.g. only .h was changed.

This is similar to e870781d (Top-level in-tree import redirector) but
for upcoming pyx modules.

Soon we are going to split virtmem code into its own DSO to which
bigfile extension will link. As plain setuptools does not support such
dynamic linking, we are going to use setuptools_dso instead. But more:
some of our upcoming extensions and DSOs will need to use Cython and C++
parts of Pygolang. Prepare that and use Extensions and DSO from
golang.pyx.build to support that right from the start.

Currently we have only one extension wendelin.bigfile._bigfile, but we
are going to add more both python extensions and non-python DSOs. Start
preparing to that by factoring-out common code.

lib/tests/testprog/zloadrace.py:90:1 'ZODB.FileStorage.FileStorage' imported but unused

This amends commit c37a989d.

Do what we can do without gdb and then tail to regular segmentation
fault. With core file gdb can still be used, but it is handy if we
already can get traceback of the crash into the log automatically.

TODO better use https://github.com/ianlancetaylor/libbacktrace because
backtrace_symbols often does not provide symbolic information.

We do not do this now because libbacktrace is not always automatically
installed.

This makes sure that those programs are always built afresh instead
being stuck at outdated build. This is needed because corresponding test .c
file includes many other .c files and we don't implement dependency tracking.

Else, e.g. after a failing test, that closed its storage and DB, but not
all Connections, another test, just by starting new transaction, would
invoke synchronization on that unclosed connection, which will try to
access closed storage and likely fail.

Fixes e.g. https://nexedijs.erp5.net/#/test_result_module/20210401-31B27B3D/5

Crash scenariou is the same as described in 5a5ed2c7 (tests: Force-close
ZODB connections in teardown, that testing code forgot to explicitly
close). Only now we try to isolate tests from each other not only for
different modules, but also for tests inside the same module.

The tests verify that there is no concurrency bugs around load,
Connection.open and invalidations. See e.g.

https://github.com/zopefoundation/ZODB/issues/290
https://github.com/zopefoundation/ZEO/issues/155

By including the tests into wendelin.core, we will have CI coverage for
all supported storages (FileStorage, ZEO, NEO), and for all supported
ZODB (currently ZODB4, ZODB4-wc2 and ZODB5).

ZEO5 is know to currently fail zloadrace.
However, even though ZODB#290 was fixed, ZEO5 turned out to also fail on zopenrace:

Previously if an assert or something failed in spawned thread, the main
thread was usually spinning indefinitely = tests hang. -> Switch all
threading places to use sync.WorkGroup and this way if a thread fails,
all other threads are canceled and the exception is reported back to
wg.wait in main thread.

Since we start to go this route, NotifyChannel is reworked to fully use
channels instead of busy-waiting.

setuptools_dso 2 started to emit those autogenerated files.
See https://github.com/mdavidsaver/setuptools_dso/pull/15 for details.

NEO 1.9 was released in 2018 and is outdated by now. NEO 1.12 is
currently the latest NEO release.

After switching to ZODB >= 4 in the previous commit, we can safely
require zodbtools, because there is now no conflict in between
ZODB3/ZODB eggs.

It's been a while since last ZODB3 3.10.7 release in 2016 and the last
commit in upstream ZODB3 repository (3.10 branch) is from 2017. The
world switched since then to ZODB4 and to ZODB5 after that.

We were still requiring ZODB3, because ZODB3 3.11 egg was just a
dependency on newer ZODB, ZEO, BTrees and persistent; and this way we
could be supporting all ZODB3.10.x and  ZODB4 and ZODB5 via ZODB3.11.

However upcoming Wendelin.core 2, for its proper working, needs MVCC
semantic as implemented in ZODB5. This forces us, even for ZODB4, to
backport non-trivial bits from ZODB5 (see [1]). Maintaining ZODB3
support at this point becomes non-practical, because, to our knowledge,
there is no wendelin.core user that plans to continue using ZODB3
without switching to at least ZODB4 in the near future.

So goodbye ZODB3. Even though ZODB still stays with us, it gives a
feeling similar to [2], because in 2014, when I was myself learning
ZODB, it was through ZODB3 - still at the time when all ZODB bits were
living together in one place.

DB.close() does `del self.storage`.

https://github.com/zopefoundation/ZODB/blob/5.6.0-14-g0eae10cd0/src/ZODB/DB.py#L646

This way if DB was closed, but some conn(s) were not, it will crash in
teardown as e.g. below:

    _____________ ERROR at teardown of test_bigfile_zblk1_zdata_reuse ______________

        def teardown_module():
    >       testdb.teardown()

    bigfile/tests/test_filezodb.py:58:
    _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

    self = <wendelin.lib.testing.TestDB_ZEO object at 0x7fb9c0216350>

        def teardown(self):
            # close connections that test code forgot to close
            for connref, tb in self.connv:
                conn = connref()
                if conn is None:
                    continue
                if not conn.opened:
                    continue    # still alive, but closed
                print("W: testdb: teardown: %s left not closed by test code"
                      "; opened by:\n%s" % (conn, tb), file=sys.stderr)

                db = conn.db()
    >           stor = db.storage
    E           AttributeError: 'DB' object has no attribute 'storage'

    lib/testing.py:217: AttributeError

The fix is simple - don't use db.storage at all, because it is not actually used in that code.

Since ZBigFile keeps references to fileh objects that are created
through it it forms a file <=> fileh cycle that is not collected without
cyclic GC:

https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/wendelin.core/blob/v0.13-52-ga702d41/bigfile/file_zodb.py#L497
https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/wendelin.core/blob/v0.13-52-ga702d41/bigfile/file_zodb.py#L566-571

We did not noticed this leak until now because it is small, but with
upcoming wendelin.core 2 it is important to release a fileh, because
there is WCFS connection associated with fileh, and if fileh is not
released, that connection also stays alive, keeping on-WCFS resources
still being used, and preventing WCFS from being unmounted cleanly.

-> Add cyclic GC support to PyBigFile / PyBigFileH

NOTE: we still don't allow PyVMA <=> PyBigFileH cycles to be collected,
because fileh_close called from fileh.__del__ asserts that there are no
live mappings left. See added comments for details. There is no
known practical need to use such cycles, so this should be ok.

See also other patches on cyclic GC topic:

- 450ad804 (bigarray: ArrayRef support for BigArray)  // adds cyclic GC support for PyVMA
- d97641d2 (bigfile/py: Properly untrack PyVMA from GC before dealloc)

/proposed-for-review-on !12

The logic in pyvma_traverse and pyvma_clear needs to be synchronized
with PyVMA deallocation. In the next patche we'll be amending this
logic, and it will help a reader to keep all those functions together.

For the reference: PyVMA support for cyclic GC was introduced in
450ad804 (bigarray: ArrayRef support for BigArray). See also d97641d2
(bigfile/py: Properly untrack PyVMA from GC before dealloc).

We need the following patch of mine:

It is hard for people to understand current wording, so let's expand
zconn_at description to additionally explain what it is providing with
second set of words, which, hopefully, lowers potential ambiguity a bit.

happens.

Wendelin.core will soon switch to PEP517 mode (by adding pyproject.toml)
to build-require Cython, Pygolang and friends.

Wendelin.core 2 will need to spawn WCFS filesystem server that accesses
the same ZODB database as the program that spawns it. The database
argument passed to WCFS is passed in the form of URL[1,2].  Even though
zodburi provides way to convert an URL into ZODB storage instance, there
is currently no way for reverse operation - to convert ZODB storage
instance into URL to access it(*). So we have to build it by our own.

Provide zstor_2zurl stub that currently works for FileStorage only.
ZEO and NEO support is TODO.

In the future we might want to move this functionality into
zodbtools/py.
