nodemap: introduce an option to use mmap to read the nodemap mapping The performance and memory benefit is much greater if we don't have to copy all the data in memory for each information. So we introduce an option (on by default) to read the data using mmap. This changeset is the last one definition the API for index support nodemap data. (they have to be able to use the mmaping). Below are some benchmark comparing the best we currently have in 5.3 with the final step of this series (using the persistent nodemap implementation in Rust). The benchmark run `hg perfindex` with various revset and the following variants: Before: * do not use the persistent nodemap * use the CPython implementation of the index for nodemap * use mmapping of the changelog index After: * use the MixedIndex Rust code, with the NodeTree object for nodemap access (still in review) * use the persistent nodemap data from disk * access the persistent nodemap data through mmap * use mmapping of the changelog index The persistent nodemap greatly speed up most operation on very large repositories. Some of the previously very fast lookup end up a bit slower because the persistent nodemap has to be setup. However the absolute slowdown is very small and won't matters in the big picture. Here are some numbers (in seconds) for the reference copy of mozilla-try: Revset Before After abs-change speedup -10000: 0.004622 0.005532 0.000910 × 0.83 -10: 0.000050 0.000132 0.000082 × 0.37 tip 0.000052 0.000085 0.000033 × 0.61 0 + (-10000:) 0.028222 0.005337 -0.022885 × 5.29 0 0.023521 0.000084 -0.023437 × 280.01 (-10000:) + 0 0.235539 0.005308 -0.230231 × 44.37 (-10:) + :9 0.232883 0.000180 -0.232703 ×1293.79 (-10000:) + (:99) 0.238735 0.005358 -0.233377 × 44.55 :99 + (-10000:) 0.317942 0.005593 -0.312349 × 56.84 :9 + (-10:) 0.313372 0.000179 -0.313193 ×1750.68 :9 0.316450 0.000143 -0.316307 ×2212.93 On smaller repositories, the cost of nodemap related operation is not as big, so the win is much more modest.

Mercurial Rust Code

This directory contains various Rust code for the Mercurial project. Rust is not required to use (or build) Mercurial, but using it improves performance in some areas.

There are currently three independent rust projects: - chg. An implementation of chg, in rust instead of C. - hgcli. A experiment for starting hg in rust rather than in python,

by linking with the python runtime. Probably meant to be replaced by PyOxidizer at some point.
  • hg-core (and hg-cpython/hg-directffi): implementation of some functionality of mercurial in rust, e.g. ancestry computations in revision graphs or pull discovery. The top-level Cargo.toml file defines a workspace containing these crates.

Using hg-core

Local use (you need to clean previous build artifacts if you have built without rust previously):

$ HGWITHRUSTEXT=cpython make local # to use ./hg
$ HGWITHRUSTEXT=cpython make tests # to run all tests
$ (cd tests; HGWITHRUSTEXT=cpython ./run-tests.py) # only the .t
$ ./hg debuginstall | grep rust # to validate rust is in use
checking module policy (rust+c-allow)

Setting HGWITHRUSTEXT to other values like true is deprecated and enables only a fraction of the rust code.

Developing hg-core

Simply run:

$ cargo build --release

It is possible to build without --release, but it is not recommended if performance is of any interest: there can be an order of magnitude of degradation when removing --release.

For faster builds, you may want to skip code generation:

$ cargo check

You can run only the rust-specific tests (as opposed to tests of mercurial as a whole) with:

$ cargo test --all
