DBIx likes to eagerly select all columns without a way to really tell
it so. Therefore, this splits this one large column in to its own
table.
I'd also like to make "jobsets" use this table too, but that is on hold
to stop the bleeding caused by the extreme amount of traffic this is
causing.
Duplicating this data on every record of the builds table cost
approximately 4G of duplication.
Note that the database migration included took about 4h45m on an
untuned server which uses very slow rotational disks in a RAID5 setup,
with not a lot of RAM. I imagine in production it might take an hour
or two, but not 4. If this should become a chunked migration, I can do
that.
Note: Because of the question about chunked migrations, I have NOT
YET tested this migration thoroughly enough for merge.
With the current implementation, if ANY hash was found inside the decl
spec, the spec would be treated as static. This is problematic since
`inputs` is a hash and hence any configuration would be handled as a
static one.
This fixes the code to match the documentation and only switch to static
processing when ALL values are hashes.
When deploying Hydra different than hydra.nixos.org one may encounter a problem
as building any job that uses IFD fails with:
May 22 19:41:07 hydra hydra-evaluator[6960]: error: "attempted to realize '/nix/store/1jm02mfiv58rpy8zrx95cpqxzsp64ssh-source.drv' during evaluation but 'allow-import-from-derivation' is false"
May 22 19:41:07 hydra hydra-evaluator[6960]: error: "attempted to realize '/nix/store/av3jr8ix4qcadq2wm3y3hplvxwzlhl4y-source.drv' during evaluation but 'allow-import-from-derivation' is false"
May 22 19:41:07 hydra hydra-evaluator[6960]: error: "attempted to realize
'/nix/store/2jm02mfiv58rpy8zrx95cpqxzsp64ssh-source.drv' during evaluation but
'allow-import-from-derivation' is false"
The recent change enforced passing `--no-allow-import-from-derivation`
to `hydra-eval-job` unconditionally. This change makes it configurable and
defaults to **NOT PASSING IT** -- most of the deployments allow IFDs.
The configuration option is called `allow_import_from_derivation` and
defaults to `true`. It is interpreted as a boolean, with only true option being
`true`.
To quote the function's comment:
Awful hack to handle timeouts in SQLite: just retry the transaction.
DBD::SQLite *has* a 30 second retry window, but apparently it
doesn't work.
Since SQLite is now dropped entirely, this wrapper can be removed
completely.
This hasn't been used in a long time (Guix uses its own CI system),
and it probably doesn't work anymore.
(cherry picked from commit 23c9ca3e94669087d463642baea0cf35a0b8d72f)
* 'eval_started' has the format '<tmpId>\t<project>\t<jobset>'.
* 'eval_failed' has the format '<tmpId>'. (The cause of the error can
be found in the database.)
* 'eval_added' has the format '<tmpId>:<evalId>'.
When using the "build" or "sysbuild" jobset input types in conjunction
with a binary cache store, the evaluator needs to be able to fetch
store paths from the binary cache. Typical usage:
store_uri = s3://nix-test-cache?secret-key=...
eval_substituter = s3://nix-test-cache
Also, the public key of the binary cache must be added to
binary-cache-public-keys in nix.conf, otherwise the local nix-daemon
won't allow the store paths to be copied over.
Also, remove support in hydra-eval-jobs for multiple jobset input
alternatives. The web interface hasn't supported this in a long
time. Thus we can use the regular "--arg" handler.
As @dtzWill discovered, with the concurrent hydra-evaluator, there can
be multiple active transactions adding builds to the database. As a
result, builds can become visible in a non-monotonically increasing
order, breaking the queue monitor's assumption that build IDs only go
up.
The fix is to have hydra-eval-jobset provide the lowest build ID it
just added in the builds_added notification, and have the queue
monitor check from there.
Fixes#496.
This can take an excessive amount of time. For example, on
hydra.nixos.org, a call to hydra-notify takes 0.7s even if there are
no plugins. So for an eval with ~45K new builds, the calls to
hydra-notify add up to about 9 hours.
The proper fix would be to pass a list of build IDs, or an eval ID.
