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.
When I browse failed builds in a jobset-eval on Hydra, I regularly
mistake actual build-failures with temporary issues like timeouts (that
probably disappear at the next eval).
To prevent this kind of issue, I figured that using the stopsign-svg for
builds with timeouts or exceeded log-limits is a reasonable choice for
the following reasons:
* A user can now distinguish between actual build-errors (like
compilation-failures or oversized outputs) and (usually) temporary issues
(like a bloated log or a timeout).
* The stopsign is also used for aborted jobs that are shown in a
different tab and can't be confused with timeouts for that reason.
Builds can now specify the attribute "isDeterministic = true" to tell
Hydra to build with build-repeat > 0. If there is a mismatch between
rounds, the step / build fails with a suitable status.
Maybe this should be a meta attribute, but that makes it invisible to
hydra-queue-runner, and it seems reasonable to make a claim of
mandatory determinism part of the derivation (since e.g. enabling this
flag should trigger a rebuild).
The maximum output size per build step (as the sum of the NARs of each
output) can be set via hydra.conf, e.g.
max-output-size = 1000000000
The default is 2 GiB.
Also refactored the build error / status handling a bit.
This removes the "busy", "locker" and "logfile" columns, which are no
longer used by the queue runner. The "Running builds" page now only
shows builds that have an active build step.
Builds can now emit metrics that Hydra will store in its database and
render as time series via flot charts. Typical applications are to
keep track of performance indicators, coverage percentages, artifact
sizes, and so on.
For example, a coverage build can emit the coverage percentage as
follows:
echo "lineCoverage $pct %" > $out/nix-support/hydra-metrics
Graphs of all metrics for a job can be seen at
http://.../job/<project>/<jobset>/<job>#tabs-charts
Specific metrics are also visible at
http://.../job/<project>/<jobset>/<job>/metric/<metric>
The latter URL also allows getting the data in JSON format (e.g. via
"curl -H 'Accept: application/json'").
If Hydra isn't hosted on https://example.com/ but something like
https://example.com/hydra/, the URL for /api/scmdiff would have ended up
on /api/scmdiff rather than /hydra/api/scmdiff.
This is because we didn't use the URI resolver from the controller,
hence we're using it now to build up the whole URL including the query
string.

Like eval IDs, build IDs don't convey useful information.
Also, make the job name link to the build rather than the job. When
people click on a build, they expect to go to the build page, not the
job page.
Scheduling is mostly based on jobset shares these days. So showing and
sorting by priority just wastes space and gives the incorrect
impression that Hydra executes builds in the order shown on the queue
page.
