From 3e6ee8ff88c41ad1fca8c055520be952ab21b705 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Erik Johnston Date: Mon, 6 May 2024 12:56:52 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Add optimisation to `StreamChangeCache` (#17130) When there have been lots of changes compared with the number of entities, we can do a fast(er) path. Locally I ran some benchmarking, and the comparison seems to give the best determination of which method we use. --- changelog.d/17130.misc | 1 + synapse/util/caches/stream_change_cache.py | 20 +++++++++++++++++++- tests/util/test_stream_change_cache.py | 17 ++++++++++++++--- 3 files changed, 34 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) create mode 100644 changelog.d/17130.misc diff --git a/changelog.d/17130.misc b/changelog.d/17130.misc new file mode 100644 index 000000000..ac20c90bd --- /dev/null +++ b/changelog.d/17130.misc @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +Add optimisation to `StreamChangeCache.get_entities_changed(..)`. diff --git a/synapse/util/caches/stream_change_cache.py b/synapse/util/caches/stream_change_cache.py index 2079ca789..91c335f85 100644 --- a/synapse/util/caches/stream_change_cache.py +++ b/synapse/util/caches/stream_change_cache.py @@ -165,7 +165,7 @@ class StreamChangeCache: return False def get_entities_changed( - self, entities: Collection[EntityType], stream_pos: int + self, entities: Collection[EntityType], stream_pos: int, _perf_factor: int = 1 ) -> Union[Set[EntityType], FrozenSet[EntityType]]: """ Returns the subset of the given entities that have had changes after the given position. @@ -177,6 +177,8 @@ class StreamChangeCache: Args: entities: Entities to check for changes. stream_pos: The stream position to check for changes after. + _perf_factor: Used by unit tests to choose when to use each + optimisation.
