A cross-registry cache was introduced by e2ea691ce.
The initial idea was praiseworthy but sub-optimal for servers with a
lot of registries.
When there is lot of registry loaded, the cache size was huge and
clearing some entries took a lot of CPU time, increasing the chances
of timeout.
Also, the cache was not cleaned when a registry is removed from
registry LRU (this operation would also consume time).
In ormcache, those statistic numbers were counted per cached method for all
registries. We introduce separate statistic counters, and create a counter per
(database, model, method). The existing attributes that are no longer used
have been removed.
The registry size is now assumed to be around 10Mb, and ormcache size is
proportional to the maximum number of registries. Statistics about ormcache
usage is shown to the log when receiving signal SIGUSR1.
The ormcache is now shared among registries. The cached methods use keys like
(DBNAME, MODELNAME, METHOD, args...). This allows registries with high load to
use more cache than other registries.
A squashed merge is required as the conversion of the apiculture branch from
bzr to git was not correctly done. The git history contains irrelevant blobs
and commits. This branch brings a lot of changes and fixes, too many to list
exhaustively.
- New orm api, objects are now used instead of ids
- Environements to encapsulates cr uid context while maintaining backward compatibility
- Field compute attribute is a new object oriented way to define function fields
- Shared browse record cache
- New onchange protocol
- Optional copy flag on fields
- Documentation update
- Dead code cleanup
- Lots of fixes
It's completely broken in case of optional parameters
e.g. (ir.translation)._get_source, as a call with the optional
parameter won't be matched by a clear without, and the other way
around. This becomes even more problematic in the website branch as
_get_source now has *two* optional parameters (source and res_id).
After discussion with odo and discovery that in multiprocess only the
current node will use any granularity (other nodes not only clear all
of the current method cache, but all caches of all models), simplify
cache clearing, ignore parameters and just blow the current method's
cache entirely.
