In a PostReceive task with 697 commits (8.9 RC1 -> RC8), looking up
the commit author takes about 10% of the time. Caching this information
in RequestStore saves a few seconds from the overall processing time.
Improves #18663
A lot of git operations were being repeated, for example, to build a url
you would ask if the path was a Tree, which would call a recursive routine
in Gitlab::Git::Tree#where, then ask if the path was a Blob, which would
call a recursive routine at Gitlab::Git::Blob#find, making reference to
the same git objects several times. Now we call Rugged::Tree#path, which
allows us to determine the type of the path in one pass.
Some other minor improvement added, like saving commonly used references
instead of calculating them each time.
`notes_with_associations` are used for `participant` declarations, but `Participable`
only really cares about the target entity project, and not the participants
projects.
`notes_with_associations` are also used in `Commit::has_been_reverted?` which
employs the reference extractor of the commit, so no references to the notes
projects are made there (`Mentionable::all_references` cares only about the
`author` and other `attr_mentionable`). A paralel situation occurs on
`Issue::referenced_merge_requests`.
There are several changes to this module:
1. The use of an explicit stack in Participable#participants
2. Proc behaviour has been changed
3. Batch permissions checking
== Explicit Stack
Participable#participants no longer uses recursion to process "self" and
all child objects, instead it uses an Array and processes objects in
breadth-first order. This allows us to for example create a single
Gitlab::ReferenceExtractor instance and pass this to any Procs. Re-using
a ReferenceExtractor removes the need for running potentially many SQL
queries every time a Proc is called on a new object.
== Proc Behaviour Changed
Previously a Proc in Participable was expected to return an Array of
User instances. This has been changed and instead it's now expected that
a Proc modifies the Gitlab::ReferenceExtractor passed to it. The return
value of the Proc is ignored.
== Permissions Checking
The method Participable#participants uses
Ability.users_that_can_read_project to check if the returned users have
access to the project of "self" _without_ running multiple SQL queries
for every user.
Ci::Commit becomes a Pipeline object
1. Ci::Commit receives context: ref, :tag.
1. One Ci::Commit describes a one Pipeline
1. Pipeline is created from `.gitlab-ci.yml`
1. Pipeline is a ordered group of builds
1. We test MR against Pipeline
1. Pipelines have a separate view (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/3703)
1. Pipeline can be triggered from UI (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/3703)
1. Later we change `Trigger -> TriggerRequest -> Build` to `Trigger -> Pipeline` (future)
1. We add a Pipeline Hook that will be triggered on Pipeline status change (future)
1. We extend notifications to use `Pipeline Hook` to send summary on pipeline changes (future)
After merging that I'll prepare a separate MR that will unify naming, database columns, table names:
```
Ci::Commit -> Pipeline
Ci::Build -> Build
CommitStatus -> Job
GenericCommitStatus -> ExternalJob
ci_commits -> pipelines
ci_builds -> jobs
```
This MR implements first 5 points.
This is made to solve this issue https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/14149.
