OverflowError when computing slice indices practically means we'll cannot allocate so much address space at next step: In [1]: s = slice(None) In [2]: s.indices(1<<62) Out[2]: (0, 4611686018427387904, 1) In [3]: s.indices(1<<63) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- OverflowError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-4-5aa549641bc6> in <module>() ----> 1 s.indices(1<<63) OverflowError: cannot fit 'long' into an index-sized integer So translate this OverflowError into MemoryError (preserving message details), because we'll need such "no so much address space" cases to show up as MemoryError in a sooner patch.

Currently we always raise RuntimeError for problems, which is more-or-less ok for humans, but soon we'll need to distinguish "no memory" errors from other error conditions in upper layers in code. Introduce helper function for choosing appropriate exception type for an error - MemoryError for when errno=ENOMEM and RuntimeError otherwise, and use it where appropriate. ( Unfortunately Python does not provide such a helper... )

As discussion in https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/issue/313 unveiled, setuptools do not have to carry setuptools.file_finders entrypoint with it in order to support _other_ projects to use .file_finders entry point. In our case it means that is is normal that we have to make sure that the group we are going to register entry-point into, exists. Remove erroneous comments introduced in 11d130d1 (setup: Ensure setuptools.file_finders entry-point group is registered).

The reason is some people are blocked to access git:// protocol/port because of firewall setup in their environment, and git.ozlabs.org does not provide a way to clone over http(s). We can provide CCAN mirror and we support cloning it over http(s). Also, it makes sense to not depend on thirdparty sites for hosting strongly-related components.

We currently use subprocess.check_output() for running external command (git), and check_output() checks running command status code, as its name promises: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/2.7/Lib/subprocess.py#L569 and reports it appropriately to user: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/2.7/Lib/subprocess.py#L411 but if the command is not found, it is just single error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory which gets output to the log and it is not clear what command failed, or evern if it is from runcmd() call. Redo our runcmd() manually, so that it always report erros with context - what command it was trying to run. The error now becomes: RuntimeError: (['missing-command'],): [Errno 2] No such file or directory /cc @Tyagov

If setuptools.file_finders group is not registered, dist.get_entry_map('setuptools.file_finders') returns just {} not connected to entry map, and further modifications of this dict go nowhere (and thus, our git_lsfiles() is not hooked -> sdist fails to produce correct source archive). This is a workaround for setuptools 9.0 dropping `setuptools.file_finders` entrypoint group registration: https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/commits/f191c8a1225bd58a5fb5aa9abb31b06dc710f0b9#Lsetup.pyF175 https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/issue/313 issue reported back: https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/issue/313#comment-18430008

It was hanging with NumPy-1.9 before 425dc5d1 (bigarray: Raise IndexError for out-of-bound element access), because of the following correct NumPy commit: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/commit/d36f8227 and in particular https://github.com/numpy/numpy/commit/d36f8227#diff-6d326badc0872de91e025cbfb0be1aafR522 That PySequence_Fast(obj) (with obj being BigArray) creates iterator on top of obj and before our previous IndexError fix in 425dc5d1, this was looping forever. Test explicitly with both NumPy 1.8 and NumPy 1.9, that this construct does not hang. /cc @Tyagov

The way BigArray.__getitem__ works for element access is that for e.g. A[i] it translates the request to A[i:i+1] and remembers to lower the dimensionality at scalar index dim_adjust = (0,) so, in full, A[i] is computed this way: A[i] -> A[i:i+1](0,) ( it is done this way to unify code for scalar / slice access in __getitem__ - see 0c826d5c "BigArray: An ndarray-like on top of BigFile memory mappings" ) The code for slice access also has a shortcut - if it sees that slice results in empty array (e.g. for out-of-bound slice), we can avoid spending time to create a file vma mapping only to create empty view on top of it. In 0c826d5c, that optimization, however forgot to apply the "lower the dimensionality" step on top of resulting empty view, and that turned out for not raising IndexError for out-of-bounds scalar access: A = BigArray((10,), uint8) In [1]: A[0] Out[1]: 0 In [2]: A[1] Out[2]: 0 In [3]: A[2] Out[3]: 0 In [4]: A[9] Out[4]: 0 In [5]: A[10] Out[5]: array([], dtype=uint8) NOTE that A[10] returns empty array instead of raising IndexError. So do not forget to apply the "reduce dimensionality" step for empty views, and this way we get proper IndexError (because for empty view, scalar access results in IndexError). NOTE: this bug was also preventing for e.g. list(A) to work, because list(A) internally works this way: l = [] i = iter(A) for _ in i: l.append(_) but iterating would not stop after 10 elements - after array end, _ will be always array([], dtype=uint8), and thus the loop never finished and memory usage grow to infinity. /cc @Tyagov

In NumPy speak advanced indexing is picking up arbitrarily requested elemtnts, e.g. a = arange(10) a[[0,3,2]] -> array([0, 3, 2]) The way this indexing schem works is - it creates a new array with len = len(key), and picks up requested elements sequentially into new area. So it is very not the same as creating _view_ to original array data by using basic indexing [1] BigArray does not support advanced indexing, because its main job is to organize an ndarray _view_ backed up by BigFile data and give that view to clients, and then it is up to clients how to use that view with full numpy api available with it. So be explicit, and reject advanced indexing in __getitem__ right at the beginning. [1] http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/arrays.indexing.html

In NumPy, ndarray has .resize() but actually it does a whole array copy into newly allocated larger segment which makes e.g. appending O(n). For BigArray, we don't have that internal constraint NumPy has - to keep the array itself contiguously _stored_ (compare to contiguously _presented_ in memory). So we can have O(1) resize for big arrays. NOTE having O(1) resize, here is how O(δ) append can be done: A # ZBigArray e.g. of shape (N, 3) n = len(A) # lengh of A's major index =N A.resize((n+δ, A.shape[1:])) # add δ new entries ; now len(A) =N+δ A[-δ:] = <new-data> # set data for last new δ entries /cc @klaus

test_bigarray_indexing_Nd() contains useful class to have a BigFile connected to ndarray storage. Factor it out so that all tests could use it. BigFile_Data.storeblk() is newly introduced and is currently unused, but will be convenient to have later.

In 5755a6b3 (Basic setup.py / Makefile to build/install/sdist stuff + bigfile.so skeleton) we overlooked one thing: when tailing from setup.py to make level, we forgot to setup the PYTHON env variable properly, and that leads to changing building with std python. Look e.g. $ python3 setup.py build_ext -i running build_ext python setup.py ll_build_ext --inplace ^^^ which is obviously not correct. Fix it. The tox setup we have setup for testing with multiple interpreters (7af2b2d7 "Tox setup to test things with py27 & py34 and several versions of ZODB") did not caught this, because for every python and environment versions tox initializes separate virtualenv, in which .../bin/python is a link to chosen python, and this way both python and my-selected-for-build-python are the same.

In C99 declaration after statement is ok, and we explicitly compile with -std=gnu99.

This shows how to first generate such arrays (in steps, as every transaction change should fit in memory), and then gather data from whole array using C/Fortran/etc code. It shows how to compute mean via NumPy's ndarray.mean() It also shows that e.g. ndarray.var() wants to create temporaries in size of original ndarray and that would fail, because it does not fit into RAM. ndarray.var() should not need to create such temporaries in principle - all it has to do is to first compute mean, and then compute sum (Xi - <X>)^2 in a loop. <X> is scalar, Xi - is just access to original array. ~~~~ So this also show NumPy can be incrementally improved to avoid creating such temporaries, and then it will work.

- for virtual memory subsytem - for ZBigFiles They are not currently great, e.g. for virtmem we have in-kernel overhead of page clearing - in perf profiles, for bigfile_mmap compared to file_read kernel's clear_page_c raises significantly. That is the worker for clearing page memory and we currently cannot avoid that - any memory obtained from kernel (MAP_ANONYMOUS, mmap(file) with hole, etc...) comes pre-initialized to zeros to userspace. This can be seen in the benchmarks as well: file_readbig differs from file_read in only that the latter uses 1 small buffer and the first allocates large memory (cleared by kernel + python does the memset). bigfile/tests/bench_virtmem.py@125::bench_file_mmap_adler32 0.47 (0.86 0.49 0.47) bigfile/tests/bench_virtmem.py@126::bench_file_read_adler32 0.69 (1.11 0.71 0.69) bigfile/tests/bench_virtmem.py@127::bench_file_readbig_adler32 1.41 (1.70 1.42 1.41) bigfile/tests/bench_virtmem.py@128::bench_bigfile_mmap_adler32 1.42 (1.45 1.42 1.51) bigfile/tests/bench_virtmem.py@130::bench_file_mmap_md5 1.52 (1.91 1.54 1.52) bigfile/tests/bench_virtmem.py@131::bench_file_read_md5 1.73 (2.10 1.75 1.73) bigfile/tests/bench_virtmem.py@132::bench_file_readbig_md5 2.44 (2.73 2.46 2.44) bigfile/tests/bench_virtmem.py@133::bench_bigfile_mmap_md5 2.40 (2.48 2.40 2.53) There is MAP_UNINITIALIZED which works only for non-mmu targets and only if explicitly allowed when configuring kernel (off by default). There were patches to disable that pages zeroing, as it gives significant speedup for people's workloads, e.g. [1,2] but all of them did not got merged for security reasons. [1] http://marc.info/?t=132691315900001&r=1&w=2 [2] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/548926 ~~~~ For ZBigFile - it is the storage who is dominating in profiles.

This is like to BigArray, like ZBigFile is to BigFile (4174b84a "bigfile: BigFile backend to store data in ZODB")

I.e. something like numpy.memmap for numpy.ndarray and OS files. The whole bigarray cannot be used as a drop-in replacement for numpy arrays, but BigArray _slices_ are real ndarrays and can be used everywhere ndarray can be used, including in C/Fortran code. Slice size is limited by mapping-size (= address-space size) limit, i.e. to ~ max 127TB on Linux/amd64. Changes to bigarray memory are changes to bigfile memory mapping and as such can be discarded or saved back to bigfile using mapping (= BigFileH) dirty discard/writeout interface. For the same reason the whole amount of changes to memory is limited by amount of physical RAM.

This adds transactionality and with e.g. NEO[1] allows to distribute objects to nodes into cluster. We hook into ZODB two-phase commit process as a separate data manager, and synchronize changes to memory, to changes to object only at that time. Alternative would be to get notified on every page change, and mark appropriate object as dirty right at that moment. But I wanted to stay close to filesystem design (we don't get notification for every file change from kernel) - that's why it is done the first way. [1] http://www.neoppod.org/

Does similar things to what kernel does - users can mmap file parts into address space and access them read/write. The manager will be getting invoked by hardware/OS kernel for cases when there is no page loaded for read, or when a previousle read-only page is being written to. Additionally to features provided in kernel, it support to be used to store back changes in transactional way (see fileh_dirty_writeout()) and potentially use huge pages for mappings (though this is currently TODO)

Users can inherit from BigFile and provide custom ->loadblk() and ->storeblk() to load/store file blocks from a database or some other storage. The system then could use such files to memory map them into user address space (see next patch).

Useful to debug (via either printk or gdb) the kernel - one can boot it, and tweak compile test program on host and be ready to test it inside qemu on tested kernel. Another use case is to add tracing printk to kernel and to boot it on each iteration. Booting via qemu means the workflow is not disrupted as would with rebooting the hardware. With this tool it was straightforward to find out why mmap-alias through mremap does not work for huge pages: static struct vm_area_struct *vma_to_resize(unsigned long addr, unsigned long old_len, unsigned long new_len, unsigned long *p) { struct mm_struct *mm = current->mm; struct vm_area_struct *vma = find_vma(mm, addr); if (!vma || vma->vm_start > addr) goto Efault; if (is_vm_hugetlb_page(vma)) <-- goto Einval; mremap_to(...) { /* lots of checks, then */ vma_to_resize(...)

This thing allows to get aliasable RAM from OS kernel and to manage it. Currently we get memory from a tmpfs mount, and hugetlbfs should also work, but is TODO because hugetlbfs in the kernel needs to be improved. We need aliasing because we'll need to be able to memory map the same page into several places in address space, e.g. for taking two slices overlapping slice of the same array at different times. Comes with test programs that show we aliasing does not work for anonymous memory.

This will be the core of virtual memory subsystem. For now we just define a structure to describe pages of memory and add utility to allocate address space from OS.
