By doing it init(), the monitor process also gets a subscription thing
running, which is unnecessary (and really confused me when seeing it in
the debug output).
Prior to this change we schedule summaries on each state change, i.e.
scanning->idle and idle->scanning, which is unnecessary. Now we only do
it on index updates, plus the immediate one on going syncing->idle.
The "Invalid" config attribute is retained for errors discovered during
config loading (empty path, duplicate ID). This can only be set or
cleared at config loading time.
Errors discovered during runtime (I/O problems, etc) are now in the
folder state instead. Changes to these are sent as any other folder
state change.
This reverts the GC behavior to the Go default of triggering GC when the
heap has grown 100% compared to after the previous GC. We were setting
this to 25% to keep memory usage at a minimum, but it has a pretty
severe performance cost (especially when syncing large files) as we keep
triggering GC too often.
This documents the tweak in the `-help` message so users can decide for
themselves, and sticks to whatever the Go runtime developers thinks is
best for the default.
Replace the current mix of UpperCamelCase und lowerCamelCase with
consistent lowerCamelCase keys for the JSON API. Also adapt the frontend
so it works with the changed API.
Attention: this will break existing consumers of the API.
Integers are for numbers, enabling arithmetic like subtractions and for
loops without getting shot in the foot. Unsigneds are for bitfields.
- "int" for numbers that will always be laughably smaller than four
billion, and where we don't care about the serialization format.
- "int32" for numbers that will always be laughably smaller than four
billion, and will be serialized to four bytes.
- "int64" for numbers that may approach four billion or will be
serialized to eight bytes.
- "uint32" and "uint64" for bitfields, depending on required number of
bits and serialization format. Likewise "uint8" and "uint16", although
rare in this project since they don't exist in XDR.
- "int8", "int16" and plain "uint" are almost never useful.
Request to terminate currently ongoing downloads and jump to the bumped file
incoming in 3, 2, 1.
Also, has a slightly strange effect where we pop a job off the queue, but
the copyChannel is still busy and blocks, though it gets moved to the
progress slice in the jobqueue, and looks like it's in progress which it isn't
as it's waiting to be picked up from the copyChan.
As a result, the progress emitter doesn't register on the task, and hence the file
doesn't have a progress bar, but cannot be replaced by a bump.
I guess I can fix progress bar issue by moving the progressEmiter.Register just
before passing the file to the copyChan, but then we are back to the initial
problem of a file with a progress bar, but no progress happening as it's stuck
on write to copyChan
I checked if there is a way to check for channel writeability (before popping)
but got struck by lightning just for bringing the idea up in #go-nuts.
My ideal scenario would be to check if copyChan is writeable, pop job from the
queue and shove it down handleFile. This way jobs would stay in the queue while
they cannot be handled, meaning that the `Bump` could bring your file up higher.
Make sure we have a good random seed on the default RNG, that the
predictable RNG is clearly marked as such, that random strings are
actually the length requested, and that they contain a restricted set of
characters only.
