Packages of some languages rely heavily on propagation. R is one
example. Since the generated “manifest” file of a Guix profile records
entries for all propagated packages, this can get really big really
quickly.

A profile consisting only of four R packages (r-seurat, r-cistopic,
r-monocle3, and r-cicero-monocle3) results in a “manifest” file that
weighs 7.1MB. At the MDC I repeatedly encountered manifest files that
are exceeding 24MB.

Simply reading that big a file with

(call-with-input-file "huge-manifest" read)

takes several seconds. On the MDC cluster I observed a delay of about
27 seconds.

Disabling read positions with (read-disable 'positions) significantly
speeds this up (18s vs 27s), but it’s still very slow.

We may be able to speed things up by supporting definitions or
references in manifest files, so that we don’t need to repeat a sub-tree
when generating the file.

Commit 93f601d97ca2d9b82c41afeb86879ee37eae39e6 provides a 12% size
reduction on this example, and it’s backward-compatible and cheap.

I’ll try and follow up with changes along the lines you describe.

Excellent! This is a great first step.

[PATCH 0/3] Make 'manifest' files more compact
(address . 55499@debbugs.gnu.org)(name . Ludovic Courtès)(address . ludo@gnu.org)
20220531160916.21508-1-ludo@gnu.org
Hello,

These patches implement what you suggested on IRC: not repeating
entire manifest entries and their propagated inputs. This has a
dramatic impact on the size of the ‘manifest’ file and on the memory
and processing time to read it for the the use case you gave.

The second patch goes a tiny bit further by making the ‘search-paths’
and ‘propagated-inputs’ fields optional, shaving another ~10% on the
size of ‘manifest’ in this example.

The second patch should be squashed with the first one (so we don’t
bump version formats a second time and duplicate code). It’s kinda
optional because it doesn’t bring much compared to the first patch and
causes a bit of extra complexity, but maybe it’s still worth keeping?

Could you try this on your larger use cases and tell me how it goes?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Ludovic Courtès (3):
tests: Augment profile collision test.
profiles: Do not repeat entries in 'manifest' file.
squash! profiles: Make all entry fields optional.

[PATCH 2/3] profiles: Do not repeat entries in 'manifest' file.
(address . 55499@debbugs.gnu.org)(name . Ludovic Courtès)(address . ludo@gnu.org)
20220531160916.21508-3-ludo@gnu.org
Reported by Ricardo Wurmus <rekado@elephly.net>.

With this change, the manifest file created for:

guix install r r-seurat r-cistopic r-monocle3 r-cicero-monocle3 r-assertthat

goes from 5.6M to 192K. Likewise, on this profile, wall-clock time of:

GUIX_PROFILING=gc guix package -I

goes from 0.7s to 0.1s, with heap usage going from 55M to 9M.

* guix/profiles.scm (manifest->gexp)[entry->gexp]: Turn into a monadic
procedure. Return a 'repeated' sexp if ENTRY was already visited
before.
Adjust caller accordingly. Bump manifest version.
(sexp->manifest)[sexp->manifest-entry]: Turn into a monadic procedure.
Add case for 'repeated' nodes. Add each entry to the current state
vhash.
Add clause for version 4 manifests.
* tests/profiles.scm ("deduplication of repeated entries"): New test.
* guix/build/profiles.scm (manifest-sexp->inputs+search-paths): Expect
version 4. Add clause for 'repeated' nodes.

This is meant to be squashed with the previous patch.

This makes the 'search-paths' and 'propagated-inputs' fields of each
entry optional, shaving a bit more space and reading time, down to 180K
instead of 192K.

* guix/build/profiles.scm (manifest-sexp->inputs+search-paths)[let-fields]:
New macro.
Use it.
* guix/profiles.scm (manifest->gexp)[optional]: New procedure. Use it.
[sexp->manifest-entry]: Rename to...
[sexp->manifest-entry/v3]: ... this.

I'm not familiar enough with this part of Guix to evaluate the patches,
but the time, disk memory and heap memory decreases sound great!

Greetings,

Yup! The difference is significant primarily for profiles with lots of
propagated inputs, so typically profiles with R or Python packages.

For my home profile (300+ packages but no R and no Python), it goes from
316K to 112K, heap usage for ‘guix package -I’ goes from 12M to 9M and
wall-clock time is almost unchanged.

Did you have a chance to give it a try?

Maybe I can double-check that everything’s alright and go ahead.

Thanks,
