revlog: give EXTSTORED flag value to narrowhg
Narrowhg has been using "1 << 14" as its revlog flag value for a long

already. When the same value was reserved for EXTSTORED, it made those

clearly have reserved the value for narrowhg a long time ago. Since
the EXTSTORED flag is not yet in any release and Facebook also says
they have not started using it in production, so it should be okay to
change it. This patch gives the current value (1 << 14) back to

localrepo: experimental support for non-zlib revlog compression
The final part of integrating the compression manager APIs into
revlog storage is the plumbing for repositories to advertise they
are using non-zlib storage and for revlogs to instantiate a non-zlib
compression engine.
The main intent of the compression manager work was to zstd all
of the things. Adding zstd to revlogs has proved to be more involved
than other places because revlogs are... special. Very small inputs
and the use of delta chains (which are themselves a form of
compression) are a completely different use case from streaming
compression, which bundles and the wire protocol employ. I've
conducted numerous experiments with zstd in revlogs and have yet
to formalize compression settings and a storage architecture that
I'm confident I won't regret later. In other words, I'm not yet
ready to commit to a new mechanism for using zstd - or any other
compression format - in revlogs.
That being said, having some support for zstd (and other compression
formats) in revlogs in core is beneficial. It can allow others to
conduct experiments.
This patch introduces *highly experimental* support for non-zlib
compression formats in revlogs. Introduced is a config option to
control which compression engine to use. Also introduced is a namespace
of "exp-compression-*" requirements to denote support for non-zlib
compression in revlogs. I've prefixed the namespace with "exp-"
(short for "experimental") because I'm not confident of the
requirements "schema" and in no way want to give the illusion of
supporting these requirements in the future. I fully intend to drop
support for these requirements once we figure out what we're doing
with zstd in revlogs.
A good portion of the patch is teaching the requirements system
about registered compression engines and passing the requested
compression engine as an opener option so revlogs can instantiate
the proper compression engine for new operations.
That's a verbose way of saying "we can now use zstd in revlogs!"
On an `hg pull` conversion of the mozilla-unified repo with no extra
redelta settings (like aggressivemergedeltas), we can see the impact
of zstd vs zlib in revlogs:

Only modest wins for the changelog. But manifest reading is
significantly faster. What's going on?
One reason might be data volume. zstd decompresses faster. So given
more bytes, it will put more distance between it and zlib.
Another reason is size. In the current design, zstd revlogs are
*larger*:
debugcreatestreamclonebundle (size in bytes)
zlib: 1,638,852,492
zstd: 1,680,601,332
I haven't investigated this fully, but I reckon a significant cause of
larger revlogs is that the zstd frame/header has more bytes than
zlib's. For very small inputs or data that doesn't compress well, we'll
tend to store more uncompressed chunks than with zlib (because the
compressed size isn't smaller than original). This will make revlog
reading faster because it is doing less decompression.
Moving on to bundle performance:
$ hg bundle -a -t none-v2 (total CPU time)
zlib: 102.79s
zstd: 97.75s
So, marginal CPU decrease for reading all chunks in all revlogs
(this is somewhat disappointing).
$ hg bundle -a -t <engine>-v2 (total CPU time)
zlib: 191.59s
zstd: 115.36s
This last test effectively measures the difference between zlib->zlib
and zstd->zstd for revlogs to bundle. This is a rough approximation of
what a server does during `hg clone`.
There are some promising results for zstd. But not enough for me to
feel comfortable advertising it to users. We'll get there...

revlog: use compression engine APIs for decompression
Now that compression engines declare their header in revlog chunks
and can decompress revlog chunks, we refactor revlog.decompress()
to use them.
Making full use of the property that revlog compressor objects are
reusable, revlog instances now maintain a dict mapping an engine's
revlog header to a compressor object. This is not only a performance
optimization for engines where compressor object reuse can result in
better performance, but it also serves as a cache of header values
so we don't need to perform redundant lookups against the compression
engine manager. (Yes, I measured and the overhead of a function call
versus a dict lookup was observed.)
Replacing the previous inline lookup table with a dict lookup was
measured to make chunk reading ~2.5% slower on changelogs and ~4.5%
slower on manifests. So, the inline lookup table has been mostly
preserved so we don't lose performance. This is unfortunate. But
many decompression operations complete in microseconds, so Python
attribute lookup, dict lookup, and function calls do matter.
The impact of this change on mozilla-unified is as follows:
$ hg perfrevlogchunks -c
! chunk
! wall 1.953663 comb 1.950000 user 1.920000 sys 0.030000 (best of 6)
! wall 1.946000 comb 1.940000 user 1.910000 sys 0.030000 (best of 6)

! wall 1.791075 comb 1.800000 user 1.760000 sys 0.040000 (best of 6)
! wall 1.785690 comb 1.770000 user 1.750000 sys 0.020000 (best of 6)
$ hg perfrevlogchunks -m
! chunk
! wall 2.587262 comb 2.580000 user 2.550000 sys 0.030000 (best of 4)
! wall 2.616330 comb 2.610000 user 2.560000 sys 0.050000 (best of 4)
! chunk batch
! wall 2.427092 comb 2.420000 user 2.400000 sys 0.020000 (best of 5)
! wall 2.462061 comb 2.460000 user 2.400000 sys 0.060000 (best of 4)
Changelog chunk reading is slightly faster but manifest reading is
slower. What gives?
On this repo, 99.85% of changelog entries are zlib compressed (the 'x'
header). On the manifest, 67.5% are zlib and 32.4% are '\0'. This patch
swapped the test order of 'x' and '\0' so now 'x' is tested first. This
makes changelogs faster since they almost always hit the first branch.
This makes a significant percentage of manifest '\0' chunks slower
because that code path now performs an extra test. Yes, I too can't
believe we're able to measure the impact of an if..elif with simple
string compares. I reckon this code would benefit from being written
in C...

convert: config option to control Git committer actions
When converting a Git repository to Mercurial at Mozilla, I encountered
a scenario where I didn't want `hg convert` to automatically add the
"committer: <committer>" line to commit messages. While I can hack around
this by rewriting the Git commit before it is fed into `hg convert`,
I figured it would be a useful knob to control.
This patch introduces a config option that allows lots of control
over the committer value. I initially implemented this as a single
boolean flag to control whether to save the committer message. But
then there was feedback that it would be useful to save the committer
in extra data. While this patch doesn't implement support for saving
in extra data, it does add a mechanism for extending which actions
to take on the committer field. We should be able to easily add
actions to save in extra data.
Some of the implemented features weren't asked for. But I figured they
could be useful. If nothing else they demonstrate the extensibility
of this mechanism.

util: compression APIs to support revlog decompression
Previously, compression engines had APIs for performing revlog
compression but no mechanism to perform revlog decompression. This
patch changes that.
Revlog decompression is slightly more complicated than compression
because in the compression case there is (currently) only a single
engine that can be used at a time. However for decompression, a
revlog could contain chunks from multiple compression engines. This
means decompression needs to map to multiple engines and
decompressors. This functionality is outside the scope of this patch.
But it drives the decision for engines to declare a byte header
sequence that identifies revlog data as belonging to an engine and
an API for obtaining an engine from a revlog header.

The default behavior of `hg perfrevlogchunks` is now to measure the
compression performance of all compression engines implementing the
revlog compressor API. This effectively adds the no-op "none"
compressor and zstd (when available) into the default set.
While we can't yet plug alternate compressors into revlogs, this
command gives us a preview of the performance. On the mozilla-unified
repository:
$ hg perfrevlogchunks -c
! compress w/ none
! wall 0.115159 comb 0.110000 user 0.110000 sys 0.000000 (best of 86)
! compress w/ zlib
! wall 5.681406 comb 5.680000 user 5.680000 sys 0.000000 (best of 3)
! compress w/ zstd
! wall 2.624781 comb 2.620000 user 2.620000 sys 0.000000 (best of 4)
$ hg perfrevlogchunks -m
! compress w/ none
! wall 0.124486 comb 0.120000 user 0.120000 sys 0.000000 (best of 79)
! compress w/ zlib
! wall 10.144701 comb 10.150000 user 10.150000 sys 0.000000 (best of 3)
! compress w/ zstd
! wall 4.383118 comb 4.390000 user 4.390000 sys 0.000000 (best of 3)
Those numbers for zstd look promising. But they aren't the full story.
For that, we'll need to look at decompression times and storage sizes.
Stay tuned...

revlog: use compression engine API for compression
This commit swaps in the just-added revlog compressor API into
the revlog class.
Instead of implementing zlib compression inline in compress(), we
now store a cached-on-first-use revlog compressor on each revlog
instance and invoke its "compress()" method.
As part of this, revlog.compress() has been refactored a bit to use
a cleaner code flow and modern formatting (e.g. avoiding
parenthesis around returned tuples).
On a mozilla-unified repo, here are the "compress" times for a few
commands:
$ hg perfrevlogchunks -c
! wall 5.772450 comb 5.780000 user 5.780000 sys 0.000000 (best of 3)
! wall 5.795158 comb 5.790000 user 5.790000 sys 0.000000 (best of 3)
$ hg perfrevlogchunks -m
! wall 9.975789 comb 9.970000 user 9.970000 sys 0.000000 (best of 3)
! wall 10.019505 comb 10.010000 user 10.010000 sys 0.000000 (best of 3)
Compression times did seem to slow down just a little. There are
360,210 changelog revisions and 359,342 manifest revisions. For the
changelog, mean time to compress a revision increased from ~16.025us to
~16.088us. That's basically a function call or an attribute lookup. I
suppose this is the price you pay for abstraction. It's so low that
I'm not concerned.

util: compression APIs to support revlog compression
As part of "zstd all of the things," we need to teach revlogs to
use non-zlib compression formats. Because we're routing all compression
via the "compression manager" and "compression engine" APIs, we need to
introduction functionality there for performing revlog operations.
Ideally, revlog compression and decompression operations would be
implemented in terms of simple "compress" and "decompress" primitives.
However, there are a few considerations that make us want to have a
specialized primitive for handling revlogs:
1) Performance. Revlogs tend to do compression and especially
decompression operations in batches. Any overhead for e.g.
instantiating a "context" for performing an operation can be
noticed. For this reason, our "revlog compressor" primitive is
reusable. For zstd, we reuse the same compression "context" for
multiple operations. I've measured this to have a performance
impact versus constructing new contexts for each operation.
2) Specialization. By having a primitive dedicated to revlog use,
we can make revlog-specific choices and leave the door open for
more functionality in the future. For example, the zstd revlog
compressor may one day make use of dictionary compression.
A future patch will introduce a decompress() on the compressor
object.
The code for the zlib compressor is basically copied from
revlog.compress(). Although it doesn't handle the empty input
case, the null first byte case, and the 'u' prefix case. These
cases will continue to be handled in revlog.py once that code is
ported to use this API.

revlog: move decompress() from module to revlog class (API)
Upcoming patches will convert revlogs to use the compression engine
APIs to perform all things compression. The yet-to-be-introduced
APIs support a persistent "compressor" object so the same object
can be reused for multiple compression operations, leading to
better performance. In addition, compression engines like zstd
may wish to tweak compression engine state based on the revlog
(e.g. per-revlog compression dictionaries).
A global and shared decompress() function will shortly no longer
make much sense. So, we move decompress() to be a method of the
revlog class. It joins compress() there.
On the mozilla-unified repo, we can measure the impact of this change
on reading performance:
$ hg perfrevlogchunks -c
! chunk
! wall 1.932573 comb 1.930000 user 1.900000 sys 0.030000 (best of 6)
! wall 1.955183 comb 1.960000 user 1.930000 sys 0.030000 (best of 6)
! chunk batch
! wall 1.787879 comb 1.780000 user 1.770000 sys 0.010000 (best of 6
! wall 1.774444 comb 1.770000 user 1.750000 sys 0.020000 (best of 6)
"chunk" appeared to become slower but "chunk batch" got faster. Upon
further examination by running both sets multiple times, the numbers
appear to converge across all runs. This tells me that there is no
perceived performance impact to this refactor.

revlog: make compressed size comparisons consistent
revlog.compress() compares the compressed size to the input size
and throws away the compressed data if it is larger than the input.
This is the correct thing to do, as storing compressed data that
is larger than the input takes up more storage space and makes reading
slower.
However, the comparison was implemented inconsistently. For the
streaming compression mode, we threw away the result if it was
greater than or equal to the input size. But for the one-shot
compression, we threw away the compression only if it was greater
than the input size!
This patch changes the comparison for the simple case so it is
consistent with the streaming case.
As a few tests demonstrate, this adds 1 byte to some revlog entries.
This is because of an added 'u' header on the chunk. It seems
somewhat wrong to increase the revlog size here. However, IMO the cost
of 1 byte in storage is insignificant compared to the performance gains
of avoiding decompression. This patch should invite questions around
the heuristic for throwing away compressed data. For example, I'd argue
we should be more liberal about rejecting compressed data, additionally
doing so where the number of bytes saved fails to reach a threshold.
But we can have this discussion another time.
