Hi,

As discussed on guix-devel at
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2020-01/msg00310.html , I
am working on an sqlite cache to improve guix search performance. I have
attached a highly incomplete WIP patch. The patch attempts to
reimplement the package-cache-file hook in guix/channels.scm using a
sqlite database. To this end, it rewrites most of the
generate-package-cache and cache-lookup functions in gnu/packages.scm. I
am yet to hook this up to guix search.

At the moment, I am having some difficulty populating the sqlite
database. generate-package-cache populates the database correctly when
invoked from a normal guile REPL using geiser, but fails to do so when
run by the guix daemon during guix pull.

I ran guix pull using

$ ./pre-inst-env guix pull --url=3D$PWD --branch=3Dsearch -p /tmp/test

where search is the branch I am working on.

Running

$ ls /tmp/test/lib/guix -lh

shows

total 2.1M
=2Dr--r--r-- 2 root root 2.1M =E0=AE=9C=E0=AE=A9.   1  1970 package-cache.s=
qlite
=2Dr--r--r-- 2 root root  26K =E0=AE=9C=E0=AE=A9.   1  1970 package-cache.s=
qlite-journal

On examining package-cache.sqlite, I find that no records have been
written. And, there is a lingering journal file that shouldn't be
there. For some reason, populating the sqlite database does not work
with guix pull. sqlite probably crashes and leaves the journal file.

If I try to populate the database with each package record being
inserted in its own transaction, at least some of the insertions
work. But the journal file still lingers. My unverified guess is that
everything except the last transaction was successful.

Any ideas what's going on?

Also, inserting each package in its own transaction is ridiculously slow
and so that is out of the question. See https://www.sqlite.org/faq.html#q19

Hi Arun,

Thank you for the patch!
Cool! :-)

I have not tested it yet. Sorry.

Hum? weird...
Is it possible that a module is loaded when Guile repl is used and not
with Guix pull?
What about "guix repl"?

You mean 'commit' the database after each insertion, right?

And this does not happen with the repl, right?

I have no idea.
Weird.

What about adding 'last-insert-row-id' from 'guix/store/database.scm'?
I mean without really understanding and just grepping
'sqlite-finalize' spots that 'last-insert-row-id' seems often around.
:-)

Agree that it is not an option. :-)


Otherwise, 'list->string' is defined twice. And the first one is not
necessary, I guess.
The docstring of 'cache-lookup' is not coherent anymore. :-)


Cheers,
simon

It could be. But I don't know how to confirm this theory.

> What about "guix repl"?

I just tried 'guix repl'. It worked correctly, just like guile repl.

Yes, that is what I mean.

No, this does not happen with the repl.

Do you know of any way sqlite can create an error log to report what's
going on? That might really help debug this issue.

I tried this just now, but still the journal lingers.

Ah, thanks for catching this!

> The docstring of 'cache-lookup' is not coherent anymore. :-)

Yes, I haven't gotten around to fixing up all those yet. I thought I'll
get the code working first.

Thank you, this was useful. I was able to catch and report the error. I
also found the log file for the guix-package-cache profile hook. It says

(repl-version 0 0)
Generating package cache for '/gnu/store/b6f9b5qbcn4r932whrr6m15rdimbgrhs-profile'...
(exception sqlite-error (value sqlite-open) (value 14) (value "Unable to open the database file"))

This could be a permission error, or something to do with the existence
or lack thereof of certain directories (such as /var) in the chroot of
the build daemon. I'm still figuring it out.

I'm also in half a mind to get some guile xapian bindings ready so we
can just do that instead of messing with sqlite here. But, let's
see. :-P

Hum? And this should explain why it is working with the REPL and not
with the CLI, right?

I reported the error to the derivation log. For example, if the
derivation for the guix-package-cache derivation is
/gnu/store/cyf2h3frcjxm147dii5qic8d6kpm39nq-guix-package-cache.drv, the
log file will be at
/var/log/guix/drvs/cy/f2h3frcjxm147dii5qic8d6kpm39nq-guix-package-cache.drv.bz2. Notice
that the directory name under drvs is the first two letters of the hash,
and the file name under that directory is the remaining letters.

Also please find attached a dump of my code so far.

This could expalin it, but I am not sure if this is the correct
explanation.

I would rather keep the current package cache as-is instead of inserting
sqlite in here.  I don=E2=80=99t expect it to bring much compared
performance-wise to the current simple cache (especially if we look at
load time), and it does increase complexity quite a bit.

However, using sqlite for keyword search as you initially proposed on
guix-devel does sound like a great idea to me.

WDYT?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.

Complexity is about taste. ;-)
About performance, the idea was to first implement something with
sqlite and then see if it makes the difference. I mean I have
understood that.

If I understand correctly, you are proposing 2 caches, right?
Or are you proposing an inverted index (VHash/VList table) based on
trigrams to speed up the lookup?

Cheers,
simon

Yes.  But keep in mind that this package cache is used exclusively for
package lookups by name.  Namely, the goal is to speed package lookup in
operations like =E2=80=9Cguix install foo=E2=80=9D (mapping =E2=80=9Cfoo=E2=
=80=9D to the right <package>
in the right module without walking through all the modules) and =E2=80=9Cg=
uix
package -A=E2=80=9D (which is what the shell completion hooks use).

Currently =E2=80=9Cguix package -A=E2=80=9D runs in .5s on my laptop, and I=
 suspect it=E2=80=99s
going to be hard to do better just by touching the cache.

Arun started the discussion on guix-devel with the idea of an inverted
index, and I thought this would become a second index (possibly
implemented using SQLite).  Perhaps I misunderstood the discussion all
along though, let me know!  :-)

Thanks,

I agree with Ludo here. I think it does increase the complexity, and
probably unnecessarily so.

No, you didn't misunderstand. That's where it began. But, while
implementing it, I thought I might as well replace the existing cache.

Also, I've started working on guile-xapian bindings. With that, it seems
simpler to keep the current package cache and add a xapian index only to
speed up package search.

I agree that some confusion happens here. And this cache cannot be improved=

Well, your suggestion is very welcome and 2 caches are required: one
for the lookup by name, as it is already (and does a good job);
another one for "guix search" speeds up, SQLite or whatever (based on
inverted index or whatever).


Thanks,

An inverted index backed by Guile as you did on guix-devel or backed
by SQLite seems a good improvement for "guix search".

Xapian would be cool!
And an SQLite based index seems easier to index locally the packages
and their history. The Guix Data Service is already doing such thing
but AFAIK using PostgreSQL and some magic. :-)

All the best,

I have published the first version of guile-xapian! Feedback is
welcome. :-)

https://git.systemreboot.net/guile-xapian/about/

I will now move on to building a Xapian index for Guix's package search.

Hi,

I have finally got xapian working for package search. Some comments follow.

* Speed improvement

Despite search-package-index in gnu/packages.scm taking only around 1.5ms, I
see an overall speedup in `guix search` of only a factor of 2 -- from around
2s to around 1s. I wonder what else in `guix search` is taking up so much
time.

* Currently indexing only the package descriptions

In this patchset, I have only indexed the package descriptions. In the next
version of this patchset, I will index all other terms as specified in
%package-metrics of guix/ui.scm.

* Should I add guile-xapian as a propagated input to guix in
  gnu/packages/package-management.scm?

* Drop regexp search support

In this patchset, I have retained the older regexp search support. But, I
think we should drop it and only have xapian search. In cases where the search
index is not authoritative, we can build an in-memory xapian search index on
the fly and use it to search. This will slow down the search, but will ensure
our search results are consistent and do not depend on the authoritativeness
of the search index.

* Commit messages

Except for patch 1, I am not sure what prefixes (build-self, gnu, etc.) to use
in the first line of the commit message. Some advice there would be helpful.

Regards,
Arun.

Arun Isaac (4):
  gnu: Add guile-xapian.
  build-self: Add guile-xapian to Guix dependencies.
  gnu: Generate xapian package search index.
  gnu: Use xapian index for package search.

I would not put characters like ".", "$", or "+" here, lest we mistake a
Xapian pattern for a regexp.

As you said, I don't think both are compatible without ambiguity
anyways, so we should probably drop regexp (or at least toggle them with
a command line argument).

Beside this issue, how do you test it?  I guess we first need to install
a bunch of package with `pre-inst-env guix ...` then to a `pre-inst-env sea=

Interesting... maybe an hidden 'fold-packages'?
Well, I have not yet looked into your code.

Yes, it appears to me a detail that should be easy to fix. I mean, it
does not seems blocking.

IMHO, yes.
I mean, I guess. :-)

I understand why you have turned off the regexp support. It is not
necessary at the first experimentation to see if it is worth the
addition or not.
So, before investigating how some better regexp could be used with
Xapian, let start to benchmark Xapian vs plain 'fold-packages'.

I cannot help. )-:

Hi Pierre,

It is not searching in the installed packages but in all the packages.
So, to test it, you need to "./pre-inst-env guix pull -p" or something
like that to populate the Xapian index database. Then "./pre-inst-env
guix search" will lookup into.
I mean, it is how I understand it should work. I have not yet looked
into the code.


Cheers,
simon

What I meant with "install a bunch of packages" is "guix pull -p", is

is populated as a hook of guix pull if I got it correctly.

Sorry, I forgot to mention this in my patch cover letter. The above
error is happening because of the new guile-xapian dependency. It's a
little tricky to get right at the moment. Here goes.

Drop into a guix development environment.

$ guix environment guix

Commit patch 1 (the patch that adds guile-xapian) alone, and build.

$ git am 0001-gnu-Add-guile-xapian.patch
$ make

Then, drop into an environment where guile-xapian is available.

$ ./pre-inst-env guix environment guix --ad-hoc guile-xapian

Apply the other 3 patches and build.

$ git am 0002-build-self-Add-guile-xapian-to-Guix-dependencies.patch 0003-gnu-Generate-xapian-package-search-index.patch 0004-gnu-Use-xapian-index-for-package-search.patch
$ make

Now, the build should have completed successfully. Let's do a test guix
pull to actually test the new guix search.

$ ./pre-inst-env guix pull -p /tmp/test

Then, run the guix search in /tmp/test.

$ /tmp/test/bin/guix search game

That's it! :-)

This whole process will be simpler if the guile-xapian package is pushed
to master and guile-xapian added as an input to the guix package in
gnu/packages/package-management.scm. But, for now...

> $ ./pre-inst-env guix pull -p /tmp/test

One mistake. This command should be

./pre-inst-env guix pull --url=$PWD --branch=xapian -p /tmp/test

where xapian is the name of the branch you committed the patches to.

Also, I acknowledge the corrections you both suggested. I will
incorporate them in v2 of the patchset.

Yes, it seems a good idea and it will ease the process for building
and then benchmarking the "guix search" via Xapian.


All the best,

Hi Arun,

Do you have some benchmark in mind?

We need to benchmark on different machines the new "guix pull". Well,
it is nothing compared to the derivation computations. :-)
And more importantly, 'make as-derivations' to avoid a "guix pull" breakage,

Then on cold caches, the new "guix search" for a couple of query.

There is no so much inspiration in tests/. :-)
Ah do not forget to adapt some tests.


All the best,
simon

Hi,

After a quick benchmark:

 a. It is faster. Between x2 and x3. Really?
 b. The xapian relevance should truncated and examined in more details.

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


Here for example, Xapian does not return the package 'emacs' itself as
the first. And worse, it is not returned at all.
That's said, I do not know if it is really faster since:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix search emacs | recsel -C -P name | wc -l
829
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
/tmp/test/bin/guix search emacs | recsel -C -P name | wc -l
10
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Maybe I am doing a mistake.


Well, thank you Arun for the Xapian bindings which will improve the
searching experience. :-)
And now it needs some polishing.


All the best
simo

I am a bit lost with the Guile update. Now the convention should not
be the opposite: guile-xapian using 3.0 and guile2.2-xapian using 2.2
(or simply 2.2 since 2.0 seems not really used).

Otherwise, feel free to push it. :-)
(It will ease to reach a large audience of testers for "guix search" ;-))

All the best,

Hi Arun,

In the commit message, I would capitalize Xapian.

Xapian with capital.

Instead, this:

(index-term! term-generator (string-append (package-synopsis package)
(package-description package)))

should index both 'synopsis' and 'description'.


Is (make-stem "en") for the locale?

package-search-index and package-cache-file could be refactored
because they share all the same code.

Why this value of 10?
This fix the number of packages returned. Hum?
I have tried to replace by 100 and I got 100 packages. :-)

I do not know what is the convention for the bindings.
But there is 'fold-packages' so I would be inclined to 'fold-msets' or
something in this flavour.

Instead of reverting this, I would let the current
'find-packages-by-description' and would add
'find-packages-by-description-indexed' doing just
'(search-package-index (current-profile) (string-join patterns " "))'.
And maybe refactoring the sort of scores. Then I would put the test
branch in 'guix/scripts/packages.scm'...

Note that I am in the process of implementing the BM25 weights as
'package-relevance'; at least really thinking about it! :-)
I have already talked about TF-IDF as relevance, for example here [1].
And reading the Xapian documentation [2], it seems affordable. Or not
;-) because of the regexp... Need some thoughts... I mean "in the
process". ;-)
And in this case, it is almost a drop-in replacement of
'fold-packages' by 'mset-fold'; well it should add some flexibility
and a more unified code.

(Aside the searching, IMHO 'package-relevance' should help too in the
linting process of bad written descriptions, another story. ;-)

I think this issue is fixed when changing the 'pagesize' value.

Well, with '(pagesize 4294967295)' and using the same commit
(c1febbbf94), I get:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix time-machine --commit=c1febbbf94 -- guix search games | recsel -C
-p name | wc -l
247

./pre-inst-env guix search games | recsel -C -p name | wc -l
236
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

(I modified the patches in order to pull once to generate the index at
commit c1febbbf94 and then do some stuff.)


Note that the old "guix search" does not output blender and Xapian
does even if the term 'games' is not in the description but 'game' is.
Well, I am comparing the different list, i.e., "guix search games |
recsel -C -P name | sort" to see which one is in one list and not the
other one.

But before going more ahead, let polish a bit the patches to more
easily test without the double environment etc.
And because I am using good old HDD and some SSD comparison should be welcome.


All the best,
simon

Hello Arun,

Arun Isaac <arunisaac@HIDDEN> skribis:

Note that =E2=80=98guix search=E2=80=99 time is largely dominated by I/O.  =
On my laptop,
I get (first measurement is cold cache, second one is warm cache):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ sudo sh -c 'echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches'
$ time guix search foo >/dev/null

real    0m2.631s
user    0m1.134s
sys     0m0.124s
$ time guix search foo >/dev/null

real    0m0.836s
user    0m1.027s
sys     0m0.053s
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It=E2=80=99s hard to do better on the warm cache case because at this level,
there may be other things to optimize having little to do with searching
itself.

Note that this is on an SSD; the cold-cache case must be worse on NFS or
on a spinning disk, and there we could gain a lot.

I think we should weigh the pros and cons on all these aspects: speed,
complexity and maintenance cost, search result quality, search features,
etc.

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.

PS: I have not yet looked at the whole series as I=E2=80=99m just coming ba=

I somehow overlooked this particular email and am reading it just
now. Yes, the non-functional bindings are a bit ugly. But, I'm not able
to think of a clean way to make functional bindings without supporting
all features offered by xapian. Any suggestions you have in this regard
would be useful. Look through xapian/termgenerator.h for more
details. In particular, look at functions increase_termpos,
index_text_without_positions.

Hi,

Here is the second iteration of my Xapian Guix package search patchset. I have
found the reason the earlier patchset did not show significant speedup. It
turns out that most of the time is spent in printing and texinfo rendering of
the search results. So, in this patchset, I pre-render the search results
while building the Xapian index and stuff them into the Xapian database
itself. Therefore, during `guix search`, I just pull out the pre-rendered
search results and print it on the screen. This is much faster. See comparison
below.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
With a warm cache,
$ time guix search inkscape

real	0m1.787s
user	0m1.745s
sys	0m0.111s
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ time /tmp/test/bin/guix search inkscape

real	0m0.199s
user	0m0.182s
sys	0m0.024s
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

If most of the speedup comes from pre-rendering the results, it might seem
that the Xapian search is not so useful. We might as well have stuffed the
pre-rendered search results into the existing package cache generated by
generate-package-cache, or so it might seem. But, there are the following
arguments in favor of Xapian.

- The package cache would grow in size, and lookup would be slowed down
  because we need to load the entire cache into memory. Xapian, on the other
  hand, need only look up the specific packages that match the search query.
- Xapian can provide superior search results due to it stemming and language
  models.
- Xapian can provide spelling correction and query expansion -- that is,
  suggest search terms to improve search results. Note that I haven't
  implemented this yet and is out of scope in this patchset.

* Simplify our package search results

Why not use a simpler package search results format like Arch Linux or Debian
does? We could just display the package name, version and synopsis like so.

inkscape 0.92.4
    Vector graphics editor
inklingreader 0.8
    Wacom Inkling sketch format conversion and manipulation

Why do we need the entire recutils format? If the user is interested, they can
always use `guix package --show` to get the full recutils formatted
info. Having shorter search results will make everything even faster and much
more readable. WDYT?

* How to test this patchset

To get guile-xapian, run a `guix pull`, if you haven't already. Then in your
Guix source directory, drop into an environment with guix dependencies and
guile-xapian.

$ guix environment guix --ad-hoc guile-xapian

Apply patches and build.

$ git am v2-0000-cover-letter.patch v2-0002-gnu-Generate-Xapian-package-search-index.patch v2-0001-build-self-Add-guile-xapian-to-Guix-dependencies.patch v2-0003-gnu-Use-Xapian-index-for-package-search.patch
$ make

Run a test guix pull.

$ ./pre-inst-env guix pull --url=$PWD --branch=xapian -p /tmp/test

where xapian is the name of the branch you committed the patches to.

Then, run the guix search in /tmp/test.

$ /tmp/test/bin/guix search game

> Is (make-stem "en") for the locale?

I still have English hard-coded. I haven't yet figured out how to detect the
locale and stem accordingly. But, there is a larger problem. Since we cannot
anticipate what locale the user will run guix search with, should we build the
Xapian index for all locales? That is, should we index not only the English
versions of the packages but also all other translations as well?

Yes, they could be. However, I'll postpone to the next iteration of the
patchset.

Well, everywhere else in guile we have such things as vhash-fold, string-fold,
hash-fold, stream-fold, etc. That's why I went with mset-fold. Also, we are
folding over a single mset (match-set). So, mset should be in the singular.

Will do this once we have consensus about the other features of this patchset.

Done in this patchset.

In this patchset, since we're indexing the package name as well, emacs is
returned but it is still far from the beginning.

> I propose the value of 4294967295 for pagesize.

In this patchset, I pass (database-document-count db) as the #:maximum-items
keyword argument to enquire-mset. This is the upstream recommended way to get
all search results. I hadn't done this earlier since I hadn't yet wrapped
database-document-count in guile-xapian.

Done in this patchset.

Yes, `guix search` is I/O intensive. That is why I expect Xapian to do better
since it only needs to access matching packages not all packages. Also, the
Xapian index is fast at all times. It is not very dependent on a warm
filesystem cache.

My laptop is quite old with a particularly slow HDD. Hence my motivation to
improve guix search performance!

Nice!

In general, pre-rendering doesn=E2=80=99t seem practical to me: the output =
of
=E2=80=98guix search=E2=80=99 is locale-dependent (it speaks the user=E2=80=
=99s language) and
adjusts to the terminal width (well, this is temporarily broken on
Guile 3.0.0, but see =E2=80=98%text-width=E2=80=99 in (guix ui)).

Also, if the 12K+ descriptions need to be rendered at the time the user
runs =E2=80=98guix pull=E2=80=99, the experience may not be great, because =
it could take
a bit of time.

WDYT?

What I like about the recutils format in this context is that it=E2=80=99s =
both
human- and machine-readable.  The examples in the manual show how it can
be useful to select the information displayed or to refine the search
(info "(guix) Invoking guix package").

Also: I=E2=80=99d recommend tackling one thing at a time.  :-)

Were you able to measure the cost of rendering specifically?

I think we should look at a profile of =E2=80=98package->recutils=E2=80=99,=

probably room for improvement there.

Thoughts?

Also, when we put all package metadata into the Xapian index, we don't
have to look up any of the package variables in (gnu packages *) during
`guix search` time. This also contributes substantially to the speedup.

Note that we already need to index package synopses and descriptions in
all languages. I still haven't implemented this, though.

> adjusts to the terminal width (well, this is temporarily broken on

This could be accomplished even with pre-rendering. Xapian provides
"slots" to store arbitrary strings with a document. Instead of storing
the pre-rendered document as a whole, we could store pre-rendered fields
in separate slots. Then, during `guix search` time, we can assemble the
result from these pre-rendered fields.

This is a problem, but I would see it as a necessary "compilation"
step. :-P In fact, this whole patchset speeds up `guix search` by doing
part of the work of `guix search` ahead of time. So, some such cost is
unavoidable.

Xapian's query language is much more natural (as in natural language)
than the regexp based techniques we need to use with recutils. I have
hardly ever used the regexp based search and I suspect many others
haven't either. Also, refining the search query should be easier to do
with Xapian. We could even use Xapian's query expansion feature to
suggest improved queries to the user.

That said, if we want the recutils format, we can still keep it in a
simplified form like so.

name: inkscape
version: 0.92.4
synopsis: Vector graphics editor

name: inklingreader
version: 0.8
synopsis: Wacom Inkling skecth format conversion and manipulation

> Also: I=E2=80=99d recommend tackling one thing at a time.  :-)

I totally agree, but I'm tempted to say that pre-rendering would be a
lot cheaper with the simplified form of search results. :-)

> Were you able to measure the cost of rendering specifically?

generate-package-search-index takes around 50 seconds. If I modify
generate-package-search-index to not pre-render but simply store the
package description alone, it takes around 20 seconds. That gives us a
rough idea of the cost of pre-rendering.

> I think we should look at a profile of =E2=80=98package->recutils=E2=80=
=99, there=E2=80=99s
> probably room for improvement there.

On quick inspection, most of the time in package->recutils is spent in
texinfo rendering the description. Unless we use the simplified search
results format as discussed above, we cannot avoid it.

Yeah.  I think we need to take the whole user experience into account,
not just =E2=80=98guix search=E2=80=99.  =E2=80=98guix pull=E2=80=99 alread=
y feels very slow, and it=E2=80=99s a
fairly common operation.  Conversely, =E2=80=98guix search=E2=80=99 takes r=
oughly
between 0.5 and 2 seconds and is an uncommon operation on a =E2=80=9Cslow p=
ath=E2=80=9D
(in the sense that when you=E2=80=99re searching for software, you=E2=80=99=

have to spend more than a couple of seconds to find what you=E2=80=99re loo=

I=E2=80=99m not sufficiently familiar with Xapian=E2=80=99s query language.=
  The
examples I had in mind were:

  guix search malloc | recsel -p name,version,relevance
  guix search | recsel -p name -e 'license ~ "LGPL 3"'
  guix search crypto library | \

To me, adding 20=E2=80=9350 seconds on =E2=80=98guix pull=E2=80=99 would be=
 undesirable.  :-/

What I meant was that we could use (statprof) to see whether/how Texinfo
rendering/parsing can be optimized.

Hi Arun,

Thank you for that.
I will be probably far from keyboard for a couple of days for medical
reasons* and I will not be able to look into this second set patches
soon.

Cheers,
simon

No, it wouldn't. It would store a partially pre-rendered string, that is
without fill-paragraph. We run fill-paragraph at `guix search` time to
complete the rendering.

I agree we can't compromise too much on `guix pull` performance.

Maybe I'm missing something here. guix pull takes around 40 minutes on
my machine. In comparison to that, is another 20-50 seconds (roughly 1
minute) a big deal? How much time would it be acceptable to spend on
building the Xapian index?

Also, is it possible to somehow provide substitutes for the Xapian index
so that the user does not have to actually build it locally during `guix
pull` time?

I have totally not tested this, but I imagine that equivalent Xapian
queries might look something like:

>   guix search | recsel -p name -e 'license ~ "LGPL 3"'

guix search license:LGPL3

>   guix search crypto library | \

guix search crypto library AND (NOT ghc) AND (NOT perl) AND (NOT python)
AND (NOT ruby)

Oh, ok. I'll try this if we decide not to pre-render.

Indeed, if you look at the notmuch-search-terms man page, you'll see
that you can select fields.
In my opinion, the recsel format is fully superseded by Xapian.

I think I disagree with "guix search" being an uncommon operation and a
slow path.

=2D The slowness of `guix search' (and the awkwardness of recutils) is
  maybe what makes it uncommon: users refrain from using it because it's
  too impractical.

=2D Searches are typically refined, i.e. you run a search multiple times
  by precising the terms, so in that sense I believe `guix search` is a
  very common operation.  Or should be.

Anyways, one of the key issues here is the inherent limitation of the
shell interface that does not allow us to directly and contextually
process the output of a command (at least not without rerunning it).

This issue can only be tackled with a GUI: there the user would be able
to interactively act with the result of the search, without having to
re-run the search.

Concretely, the GUI search would only return the package name, version
and synopses.  No need for the Texinfo / recutils juggling.

Then the user would select the packages of interest to display more
details.  This allows us to query the full details just-in-time.



Back to the topic: I believe that Xapian is a huge win both for the
shell and the future GUI :)

(Not =E2=80=9Cand=E2=80=9D but =E2=80=9Con=E2=80=9D a slow path.)

I think =E2=80=9Cslowness=E2=80=9D and =E2=80=9Cawkwardness=E2=80=9D are ov=
erstatements.  I=E2=80=99m not saying
this is perfect, but to me it=E2=80=99s not bad.  (Of course I=E2=80=99m bi=
ased :-), but
I=E2=80=99ve used other similar tools and this one looks rather good compar=
ed to
what I=E2=80=99ve used.)

I agree, but =E2=80=98guix search=E2=80=99 is a shell command, so we have t=
o adapt to
that context.

Note that Emacs-Guix does that, although it doesn=E2=80=99t use the search
facility of (guix ui) with relevance metrics.

It could be, but we need to consider all the aspects of the story,
including the maintenance cost and overhead moved to =E2=80=98guix pull=E2=
=80=99.  So
it=E2=80=99s not so much about =E2=80=9Cbeliefs=E2=80=9D at this point, but=
 rather about
demonstrating what can be done, and I=E2=80=99m glad Arun is exploring that
space!

It has its own paragraph-filling code.  We cannot use =E2=80=98fill-paragra=

On my laptop, in the best case, when all the substitutes are available
(not uncommon), it takes 2 minutes.  Sometimes, when some substitutes
are missing, it takes 15 minutes.

So of course, the 20=E2=80=9350 seconds matter only in the best case.  But =
they
matter primarily because that index build may not be substitutable: it=E2=
=80=99s
possibly unique to each profile (see below).  That means we know we=E2=80=

often going to pay for it.

We could provide a substitute for users who use only the official 'guix
channel.  However, as soon as users combine multiple channels, they=E2=80=
=99ll
have to build the index locally.

This one is not quite equivalent I guess, but yeah.  :-)

IMHO, it is interesting to compare the list of results and the order
of the both query; as i did with Emacs.
Speed is one thing, the initial motivation. But accuracy is maybe more
important.

I agree that 'fold-packages' could become soon a bottleneck.

IMHO, 'mset-fold' should be a drop-in replacement of 'fold-package' in
the search function.

I agree too that Xapian should improve the user experience when searching.

I disagree.

What I proposed some time ago was to have different flavour of the
ouput of search; as e.g., 'git log --pretty=oneline' etc..
For example by default, it should be what you suggest. Then "guix
search --format=full" should output the current. And we could imagine
mimick the Git log strategy: "guix search --format="%name
%version\n%license" etc.

WDYT?

I understand. Let consider that for the next round.

And we should test that on different machines and states.

This is an issue.

IMHO, it is because of the BM25 score. It is too rough and some weight
should be applied. But that another story.
The fix is:
 a- provide a scoring function to Xapian as the doc explains
 b- adapt 'fold-package' to 'mset-fold' in
'find-packages-by-description' and implement our version of BM25 then
use it in 'relevance'

Cool!

I agree.
But performance is not all. Accuracy counts more! :-)

I agree too.
We should write a benchmark. For example, using Emacs as query or more
complex we could think of.


All the best,

I agree with Ludo.

And IMHO, we should add "guix search --format=3D<options>" mimicking how
"git log" works.
By default, displays as Arun proposes. Using '--format=3Dfull" as it is
done now by default.
And we could imagine "--format=3D%name \t %version \n %description" etc.

Interesting. Note that speed was the initial motivation but accuracy
is another important one. As we discussed earlier when I showed an
example with TF-IDF. And Xapian implemets the state-of-art (BM25) for
scoring.


All the best,
simon

Currently "guix pull" is rather long on my machine. I would accept a
couple of seconds more (even minutes).
So this compilation step could be done at the "guix pull" time.
Or even we could imagine something indexing in the background.

IMHO, we "just" need to propose different outputs mimicking "git log
--format". Soemthing like "guix search --format=3D".

What do you think?

We could imagine something doing the job of indexing in the

I think these examples are good ones to benchmark the different approaches.
Because the speed is one thing, the accuracy is another one.

Let cut the "slow path" by providing a better experience when searching. ;-=

The regexp should be provided directly to "guix search" actually and
'recsel' is only a "filter" allowing to deal differently with the
fields.

Ok, at least it is clear. :-)
And computing in the background?

No!
Because implementing the "fields" using Xapian is not done and it is
not as straightforward as it seems.
For sure, Xapian could do a lot of thing. But we should move one step
after one step.

Let first focus on speed and accuracy. For example, the fact that
"guix search emacs" does not returns first the package 'emacs' using
Xapian is really an issue.

Cheers,
simon

I agree.
What is currently tested with Xapian is:
 1- speeding up (or not) using an inverted index
 2- the accuracy using the state-of-art of information retrieval (BM25)

About 1- I do not have a strong opinion; even if I find "guix search"
terribly slow as I mentioned earlier (one year ago ;-)).

About 2- as I mentioned earlier, the 'relevance' function could be
improved. Currently, the score is computed only considering the
package itself and not the other packages (the words they use, their
number etc.). BM25 is the state-of-art using what I tried to explained
some time ago when I showed for example TF-IDF. The question is so
what the best move to improve the accuracy. And the improvement
necessarily uses a global index (of terms, at least). But on the other
hand, the improvement should not pay off because it would add
complexity and burden, more than the improvement itself.

Without testing, we cannot say. Thank you Arun for pushing forward.


All the best,
simon

Could you please trigger a release (e.g. 0.0.1) for guile-xapian? This

Done! :-) See
https://git.systemreboot.net/guile-xapian/snapshot/guile-xapian-0.1.0.tar.xz

But I must warn you that guile-xapian is terribly incomplete and
terribly unstable. The API may change at any time without notice.

True, I did not think of this.

We could build a separate Xapian database for each channel. Xapian does
support searching across multiple databases at once and will handle
merging the results together appropriately. If I understand correctly,
this means we can provide substitutes for at least the official guix
channel and let the user build the index locally for other channels. Is
that correct?

Also, could someone please build the patchset v2 on their machine and
measure the time taken by generate-package-search-index? My laptop,
particularly my HDD is slow even as far as HDDs go. So, my figure of
20-50 seconds may not be representative.

Thanks,
Arun.

To complement your words, you could also imagine index all the history
as any other channels. It needs some thoughts but it seems a path that
I would to go.

I will do when I will be fully back. :-)

I=E2=80=99m afraid not, or at least not trivially.

Currently, profile hooks such as =E2=80=98%channel-profile-hooks=E2=80=99, =
receive a
complete profile=E2=80=94in this case, the composition of all the channels =
the
user chose.

So if we want to achieve what you propose, we=E2=80=99d need to find anothe=
r way
to hook database generation.


BTW, there=E2=80=99s also the problem of modules added dynamically with
$GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH or =E2=80=98-L=E2=80=99.  With the proposed scheme, it s=
eems that
they could no longer be searched.  Is that correct?

(Conversely the package cache is optional: it=E2=80=99s only used when it=
=E2=80=99s
considered authoritative, see (gnu packages).  The API and behavior are
exactly the same whether or not the package cache is used.)

Thanks,

Hmmm. Tough luck, I suppose. Do you have suggestions for anywhere else

Unfortunately, that is correct. To address this, we discussed retaining
the current search implementation along with the new xapian
implementation. But, that changes the search query behaviour and
adds a lot of complexity. I'll think of some other way out.

For the core database (packages that come with Guix), (guix self) could
take care of it.

Yeah, I think we=E2=80=99d want to have roughly a single implementation.

I wonder if the relevant metrics that Xapian implements, like zimoun
mentioned, could be available directly in Scheme in a way that allows us
to compute them at run time when the pre-built cache is unavailable.  Or
would that be necessarily too slow?

If so, perhaps a slightly less fancy metric could work with better
performance?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.

Hi everyone,

This is v3 of my attempt to make guix search faster. In this version, I have
abandoned use of xapian. Instead I build a cache of the metadata of all
packages in a profile hook. Then, I use that cache to search and display
search results. This way, package guile modules are not loaded during guix
search.

Speedup is around 2x. Both measurements below are with a warm cache.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ time guix search inkscape

real	0m1.722s
user	0m1.776s
sys	0m0.097s
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ time /tmp/test/bin/guix search inkscape

real	0m0.749s
user	0m0.770s
sys	0m0.020s
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This patchset does not affect the search API nor does it improve the relevance
of search results. If there is interest in this approach, I'll complete this
patchset properly. But, in the long run, I do think we should aim to get
xapian or the like for guix search. WDYT?

Unfortunately, generate-package-metadata-cache takes 43 seconds to build the
cache on my relatively slow computer. Performance should be better on other
people's machines.

Meanwhile, it would still be useful if someone built patchset v2 on their
machine and reported the time it took to build the xapian index.

* How to test this patchset

Apply patches and build as usual. Do a guix pull into a temporary profile.

$ ./pre-inst-env guix pull --url=$PWD --branch=the-name-of-the-branch-you-applied-patches-to -p /tmp/test

Then, run guix search from the built profile

$ /tmp/test/bin/guix search inkscape

Thanks!

Sorry for the delay!  Just to say that I like the approach, and I=E2=80=99ll
take a closer look once the release is out=E2=80=A6

I was wondering if we could omit inputs, which are not that useful.

Apart from that it LGTM.

Note that this is probably the place where we could eventually add the
computation of an inverted index like zimoun suggested in
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2020-01/msg00243.html>.

=E2=80=98package-metadata-cache=E2=80=99, even (it=E2=80=99s for UI purpose=

Nitpick: I=E2=80=99d use =E2=80=9Cpackages:=E2=80=9D as the prefix in the s=
ubject line.

Thanks,

Here we=E2=80=99re missing something that checks if the cache is authoritat=

and falls back to the old method if it=E2=80=99s not, akin to what
=E2=80=98fold-available-packages=E2=80=99 does.

I realize the other cache also has that problem, but it would be nice to
add a version tag to the cache.  Basically emit something like:

  (package-metadata-cache (version 0) VECTOR =E2=80=A6)

instead of just:

  (VECTOR =E2=80=A6)

> +(define-record-type* <package-metadata>

I=E2=80=99m not comfortable with this data structure duplication, especially
right in (guix packages, but I=E2=80=99m not sure it=E2=80=99s avoidable.
=E2=80=98fold-available-packages=E2=80=99 avoids it by passing all the fiel=

arguments to the fold procedure, I=E2=80=99m not sure if it=E2=80=99s appli=

I think we should avoid copy/paste of =E2=80=98package->recutils=E2=80=99.

How about factorizing by having a common procedure that takes the fields
as keyword arguments instead of taking a record?

Here we would also need to arrange so that this can apply to both a
<package> and <package-metadata> (or whatever), perhaps by defining the
two sets of metrics at once, or defining the second one by mapping over
the first one.

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.

43 seconds is a lot.  How do these 43 seconds compare to current =E2=80=98g=
uix
search=E2=80=99 on your computer?  (Both do roughly the same thing.)

Thanks,

Hi,

Thank you Arun for the patches and all the work.  Sorryfor the delay.


TLDR:

 1) around 25 seconds added to "guix pull"... but I am more than often
waiting around 10 minutes when pulling.
 2) the speedup is clear: more than 2x.


The question is the tradeoff between: the slowdown of pull vs the
speedup of search. What is acceptable?


Here let benchmark 3 versions of Guix:

 - default is a357849f5b
 - v2 rebased on default and based on Xapian
 - v3 rebased on default too and based on "custom" index

and let compare the time of "guix pull" and then "guix search".
Because v2 uses Xapian, the accuracy is different and so the list of
outputs is different depending on the query; the impact on the
performance seems minimal.  Let discuss elsewhere about accuracy and
BM25 and let focus on performance for now.


* guix pull
-----------

The idea is: measure if computing the new index is expensive or not,
compared to all of what "guix pull" computes.


** Reference
------------

Maybe, I should have misconfigured something or my laptop is really
not powerful at all, but here some numbers.

(Note: /proc/cpuinfo says 4 times Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz
and /sys/block/sda/queue/rotational says 0 which is SSD.)

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


And because "guix search" is used say 10 times more than "guix pull",
an increase of 10% of "guix pull" will ease the experience of the user
if "guix search" is faster, IMHO.

Therefore, because "guix pull" takes around 13 minutes, the extra cost
to index all the packages can be roughly 1min30s (at most).


Then, if I pull back from 8cf6d15 to '--commit=a357849f5b' then it takes:

real    2m13.693s
user    1m37.418s
sys     0m0.666s

so in this case 10% means around 7s. But after 1 minute waiting, the
command feels too long to me and personally I am already waiting so I
do not mind much if it would take 2m13s or 3m00s.


Well, it is hard to draw a clear line about what could be accepted as
the time of indexing because the time of pulling is already highly
variable.


What is the average of "guix pull"?

It could be really interresting to probe the users.  They could report:
 - guix describe
 - time guix pull
whatever which channels are up.

Just to have an idea about what should be the acceptable extra time
added by indexing.  For sure it depends on the hardware but it would
provide an idea and help to see if the extra time is worth or not.

WDYT?



** Let's compare the index time
-------------------------------

Let pull for the 3 cases and populate the store by all the necessary
items.  Could be looooonng! (20minutes)  For example, for the version
2 of patches -- living in my branch 'search-v2' using a worktree.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
time ./pre-inst-env guix pull -p /tmp/v2 \
     --url=$PWD --branch=search-v2 \
     -C ~/.config/guix/default-channels.scm
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and then let spot the index file for each version:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# ls -l /tmp/default/lib/guix
/gnu/store/g5c08vqsv31nkn2r0hr32dbrkhf3cvd8-guix-package-cache

readlink /tmp/v2/lib/guix/package-search.index
/gnu/store/8xbzhn81hmshagbgazmnr7xfps1cdsa3-guix-package-search-index/lib/guix/package-search.index

readlink /tmp/v3/lib/guix/package-metadata.cache
/gnu/store/8j78b5c4ddic21gcx7wpbq2akjn7x7mr-guix-package-metadata-cache/lib/guix/package-metadata.cache
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Well, let remove the profiles and garbage collect the index files:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
rm /tmp/default /tmp/v{2,3}*
guix gc -D \
   /gnu/store/g5c08vqsv31nkn2r0hr32dbrkhf3cvd8-guix-package-cache \
   /gnu/store/8xbzhn81hmshagbgazmnr7xfps1cdsa3-guix-package-search-index \
   /gnu/store/8j78b5c4ddic21gcx7wpbq2akjn7x7mr-guix-package-metadata-cache
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


And then re-run "guix pull". We are now comparing apple to apple, I guess.


| time | default   | v2        | v3        |
|------+-----------+-----------+-----------|
| real | 1m11.899s | 1m30.806s | 1m34.341s |
| user | 1m23.845s | 1m24.160s | 1m24.233s |
| sys  | 0m0.570s  | 0m0.563s  | 0m0.529s  |


Therefore less than extra 20s and 25s for v2 and v3.


All the question is an extra 25s compared to which time of "guix pull":
 - more than 13m: adding 25s is acceptable
 - less than 2m: adding 25s is questionable

Usually, my feeling about "guix pull" is... I am waiting!  Therefore,
I will not see this extra 25s because it is masked by all the other
work "guix pull" is doing.


* guix search
-------------

Let compare cold (sudo echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches) and warm
cache.  For example for the query 'inkscape'.


| time | default  | v2       | v3       |
|------+----------+----------+----------|
| real | 0m1.842s | 0m0.331s | 0m0.437s |
| user | 0m1.270s | 0m0.179s | 0m0.336s |
| sys  | 0m0.142s | 0m0.047s | 0m0.052s |
|------+----------+----------+----------|
| real | 0m0.898s | 0m0.132s | 0m0.292s |
| user | 0m1.069s | 0m0.168s | 0m0.353s |
| sys  | 0m0.072s | 0m0.008s | 0m0.019s |


Therefore the speedup is at least 3.

| cache | default-vs-v2 | default-vs-v3 |
|-------+---------------+---------------|
| cold  |           5.6 |           4.2 |
| warm  |           6.8 |           3.1 |


Another query:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
time guix search crypto library | recsel -P name | grep libb2
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

| time | default  | v2       | v3       |
|------+----------+----------+----------|
| real | 0m2.216s | 0m1.109s | 0m0.689s |
| user | 0m1.655s | 0m1.309s | 0m0.683s |
| sys  | 0m0.193s | 0m0.073s | 0m0.035s |
|------+----------+----------+----------|
| real | 0m1.197s | 0m0.490s | 0m0.491s |
| user | 0m1.448s | 0m0.819s | 0m0.625s |
| sys  | 0m0.089s | 0m0.034s | 0m0.039s |


| cache | default-vs-v2 | default-vs-v3 |
|-------+---------------+---------------|
| cold  |           2.0 |           3.2 |
| warm  |           2.4 |           2.4 |




Before going further, especially about any other more sophisticated
inverted index (BM25), it appears to me important to fix what is
"cost" on "guix pull" that the users are ready to pay.  Because
somehow the inverted index has to be computed.  And without an
inverted index, it seems difficult to improve the accurary.

One solution should be: let compute the inverted index in the
background with a low priority.  If the index is not done yet when
"guix search" is called, then fallback to the current default
behaviour.


WDYT?


Cheers,
simon

Hi Simon,

Thanks for taking the time to benchmark this, this is very insightful!

> Usually, my feeling about "guix pull" is... I am waiting!  Therefore,

> work "guix pull" is doing.

I agree and this is a very good point in my opinion.
While I don't expect nor do I need "guix pull" to complete immediately,
this is not true of "guix search".

As Simon suggested, maybe we can wrap a benchmark script together, post
it on the mailing list and ask member to report their results.  Maybe
a few dozen results would give us a better idea of the numbers we are
dealing with.

Cheers!

We should first agree on the extra cost (time) we are ready to pay to
build improvements.
See the lengthy message [1] about only the caching "inverted index"
using the current 'relevance' scoring function.

It=E2=80=99s complicated.  As it stands, I=E2=80=99d rather not add overhea=
d to =E2=80=98guix
pull=E2=80=99, especially since current =E2=80=98guix search=E2=80=99 on my=
 SSD is fast enough
and can hardly be made any faster.

Realistically though, I understand that things are different on slower
machines and/or spinning disks.  That=E2=80=99s why I=E2=80=99m interested =
in seeing how
Arun=E2=80=99s proposed changes can affect such machines.

If, as a bonus, it allows us to have an inverted index and thus improve
the quality of search results, that=E2=80=99s great!

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.

The question is, what is fast enough?  I have an NVMe here that has a
throughput of some 2GB/s, and yet

=2D-8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
time guix search emacs > /dev/null
real    0m1.545s
user    0m1.938s
sys     0m0.080s
=2D-8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

on a hot cache, which is too slow in my opinion :p

Mildly impatient users might be slightly discouraged from iterating
search queries.

It also makes `guix search` very impractical to use in (non-guile)
script.  Which is too bad considering that the recsel-formatting makes
`guix search` a very good candidate for scripting.

Cheers!

I understand. I have done a small benchmark [1] of the 3 ways: the
current, the v2 using Xapian (which is not an option on the long term)
and the v3.

My "slower" machine is at my office... but it provides already
interesting numbers, IMHO.

This "issue" is: any improvement on both sides performance and
accuracy would add an somehow extra cost. The question is what is the
maximum users would accept to pay for?


Well, it is complicated as you said. :-)
A trade off between extra cost, maintenance, complexity, etc is not
easy to draw, as you said too elsewhere.
I am seeing all that as experimental: explore ideas to see if they are
worth or not.
And what should be concluded now could change in the (near) future;
for example if the computations of derivations are faster, resulting
on "guix pull" faster, etc..


Cheer,
simon

That accounts for the time to render 864 entries:

  $ guix search emacs| grep ^name| wc -l
  864

Compare with:

  $ time guix search emacs | head -100 > /dev/null

  real    0m0.674s
  user    0m0.802s
  sys     0m0.048s

Again, this is not to say it cannot be improved, but it=E2=80=99s quite a
challenge to do better on such hardware.

Though as discussed with Arun, there may be low-hanging optimization
fruits in Texinfo parsing and rendering.  I guess we need to go ahead
fire up statprof now.  :-)

Nice!

It does seem like Arun=E2=80=99s v3 (or maybe even v2) would work nicely.

That=E2=80=99s only one criterion among others.  I hear the argument that 2=

It also depends on what=E2=80=99s in that file, of course.

Could you do, for v2 and v3:

  time guix build /gnu/store/=E2=80=A6-package-metadata-cache.drv --check

?

That we=E2=80=99ll give us the exact cost of that part.  It=E2=80=99ll be i=
nteresting
especially in the Xapian case, which we expected to be higher.

Thanks for the insightful benchmarks!

The v3 is more interesting because it does not change the relevance
scoring and does not add other dependency.
However v2 is interesting to easily test BM25 which is another
relevance scoring... work in progress. :-)

And I expect that the middle-term roadmap would even decrease more the
computations of derivations. ;-)

Contains only one line: %default-channels

See my wishlist ;-)

me:  2m13.693s
you: 0m57.916s

As we already discussed elsewhere, it is hard to "test" 'guix pull'.
Does it make sense to measure "guix pull"? As Chris (Marusich) did for
CDN.

Newbie me! :-)

Two points:

   1. It may not be reproducible... I am checking.
   2. The time seems similar (v2=3D26s and v3=3D29s) considering the time
to start Guile and so on.

It is not higher. Why should it be?


Considering aside the issue of reproducibility -- which should be one!
-- well, should be possible to download the index file as any other
substitute?

I am not sure to understand all what "guix pull" does.
Does "guix pull" compile all the scheme files under 'gnu/'? Probably
only recompiles the "new" files?

I do not know if it makes sense, but I just note this difference:

 1. Search without compiling of all files under 'gnu/packages/'
 2. Compile all the files under 'gnu/packages/' then search
 3. Search with only the file gnu/packages/emacs-xyz.scm not compiled
(all the other files are compiled)
 4. Compile the file above and then search

3b and 4b with gnu/packages/cobol.scm which is smaller than emacs-xyz.scm.


Results:

1) 1m43.312s
2) 0m1.301s (but 9m51.801s compiling)

3) 0m6.526s
4) 0m1.389s (1m8.670s compiling)

3b) 0m0.921s
4b) 0m0.924s (0m1.884s compiling)

Therefore, an option to reduce the time when pulling should to relax
the "compilation" for 'gnu/packages/' and 'gnu/services'; something
less optimized since the packages and services "just" need to be
transformed into bytecode to improve IO when reading them. Perhaps I
miss a point...

And maybe, it is similar than what Andy Wingo is proposing in [1].

Dear,

The aim of this version v4 is to keep the same searching performances as the previous version v3 but to drastically reduce the generation of the cache.  On my laptop, the overhead is now 4 seconds; compared to more than 20 seconds for v2 and v3.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# default
time guix build /gnu/store/0nfpp82mqglpwvl1nbfpaphw5db2ivcp-guix-package-cache.drv --check
# v4
time guix build /gnu/store/y78gfh1n7m3kyrj8wsqj25qc2cbc1a4d-guix-package-cache.drv --check
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

|      | default  | v4        |
|------+----------+-----------|
| real | 0m6.012s | 0m10.244s |
| user | 0m0.541s | 0m0.542s  |
| sys  | 0m0.033s | 0m0.032s  |


In the version v3, the cache is built using 'cons' and 'fold-packages' (wrapper to 'fold-module-public-variables').  The version v4 modifies -- by adding other information -- the function 'generate-package-cache' which uses 'vhash' and 'fold-module-public-variables*'.

Therefore the cache '/lib/guix/package.cache' contains more information.  (The v4 structure of 'package.cache' is a quick draft, so details should be discussed and an interesting move should to have a structured (binary and all strings) S-exp; because it should become an entry point to export the packages list to JSON.  WDYT?)


Now, we are comparing apples to apples and the cost to compute BM25 (v2) is not free at all.  Remember that BM25 is the state-of-the-art of information retrieval (relevance ranking) and it is delegated to Xapian (v2).  I do not know if there is perfomance bottleneck between Guix, Guile-Xapian and Xapian itself but for sure the computation of BM25 is not free.  More about that soon.

To be clear about BM25 and caching, what I have in mind is:
  1. "guix search --build-index" optionally done by the user if they wants for example the BM25 ranking.
  2. Use BM25 metrics to detect poor package meta-data (synopsis and description); if it worth why not add another checker to "guix lint".

However, ranking is another story and I am not convinced yet if BM25 fits Guix needs or not.



* Details
~~~~~~~~~

The pacthes applies against the commit a357849f5b (and it is not yet rebased).

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
time ./pre-env-inst guix pull --branch=search-v4 --url=$PWD -p /tmp/v4
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


Similar test than the previous benchmark (cold cache).

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
time ./pre-env-inst /tmp/v4/bin/guix search crypto library \
     | recsel -P name | grep libb2
name: libb2

real    0m0.784s
user    0m0.810s
sys     0m0.037s
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And the option '--load-path' turns off the cache and it fallbacks to the usual 'fold-package'.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
time ./pre-inst-env /tmp/v4/bin/guix search -L /tmp/my-pkgs crypto library \
     | recsel -C -p name | grep libb2
name: libb2

real    0m2.446s
user    0m1.872s
sys     0m0.187s
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---



* Still draft
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 1. The name of 'fold-packages*' should be misleading since it does not return "true" packages.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define get-hello (p r)
  (if (string=? (package-name p) "hello")
      p
      r))
(define no-cache   (fold-packages  get-hello '()))
(define from-cache (fold-packages* get-hello '()))

(equal? no-cache from-cache)
;;; #f
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

    Another name for the procedure is welcome if it is an issue.

 2. The function 'package->recutils' in 'guix/ui.scm' is modified but it is not the better.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
          (match (package-supported-systems p)
            (('cache supported-systems)
             (string-join supported-systems))
            (_
             (string-join (package-transitive-supported-systems p)))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

    However it avoids to duplicate code; as it is done in version v3.


 3. Deprecated packages are displayed (bug in v3 too).

 4. Impolite '@@' is used to access the private license construction.

 5. Commit messages are incomplete, copyright header too, etc..



* Next?
~~~~~~~

IMHO, simply caching improves the current situation:

 - a bit of extra time at pull time (less than 5s on my machine)
 + speed up at search time (2x faster)
 * maintainable code?

Is it in the right direction?
Could you advise for a more compliant code?
Could you test on your machines to have another point of comparison?



Best regards,
simon

I made suggestions to Arun=E2=80=99s v3 about the API here.  Essentially, I
think I proposed having a procedure that takes the list of fields as
keyword parameters, and =E2=80=98package->recutils=E2=80=99 would just dele=

(guix licenses) could provide a =E2=80=98string->license=E2=80=99 procedure.

Stopping here for now because I=E2=80=99m sorta drowning in patch review.  =
:-)

Thanks for exploring this design space, we=E2=80=99re making progress!

Interface between what and what?

Because from my understanding, this file is only used by only one
guix.  What do I miss?


Note that I have read your comment in v3 2/3 but I did not understand it. S=
orry.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
I realize the other cache also has that problem, but it would be nice to
add a version tag to the cache.  Basically emit something like:

  (package-metadata-cache (version 0) VECTOR =E2=80=A6)

instead of just:

  (VECTOR =E2=80=A6)

I agree and I have badly worded or I misunderstand something.
For example, 'supported-systems' is saved as a list of strings,
whereas 'license' is expanded as 3 strings without be packed in a list
of strings.  From my point of view, it is inconsistent and I do not
know what is the best (readibility, startup time, etc.).

I do not think it is an option to build the BM25 the first time "guix
search" is called.  Back-to-envelop estimation, it needs ~25 seconds
to Xapian* to do so.

From my point of view, two options:
 a) "guix pull" does this extra ~25 seconds (compared to 10 seconds to
build the v4 cache)
 b) the user manually build the index (I agree it is awkward!)

Well, the first question is to evaluate if it is worth -- I am using
the v2 version based on Xapian to have an idea.  Please if you have
suggestions about query (terms an user could type) and results
(packages an user could expect), there are welcome.


*Xapian: I do not think we could do better but I have not checked yet
if there is a bottleneck Guix, Guile-Xapian and Xapian.

Yes and no.

 a) 'fold-available-packages' requires to modify the 'lambda' in
'find-package-by-description',
 b) 'fold-package*' returning a 'package' is less tweaks, IMHO.

Well, I agree that on the long term, what 'fold-package*' does could
be done by 'fold-available-packages' with the adequate 'proc'.

Thank you for the suggestion; even if once re-read correctly v3 2/3
you already mentioned it. :-)

Yes, it was already your suggestion in v3 3/3.  Do you suggest to
refactor 'package->recutils'? For example,

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define* (package->recutils name version
                            ... all-the-other-fields ...
                            port #:optional (width (%text-width))
                            #:key
                            (hyperlinks? (supports-hyperlinks? port))
                            (extra-fields '()))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Well, do you suggest:

    (define (string->license name) (license name #f #f))

? Skipping 'uri' and 'comment'?  Naive question: what is the purpose
of these 2 fields?  Because there are not exposed at the CLI level,
AFAIK, and I do not think an user evaluate '(license-uri pkg)' in a
script.

Well, I think that the hyperlink feature could be used to display the
license URI too.  WDYT?

Thank you for all the comments.

My pleasure. Scheme is designed to explore. ;-)

Guix revision N creates a cache that will be read by revision N+1, upon

Yes, it would be better.

I guess both =E2=80=98license=E2=80=99 and =E2=80=98supported-systems=E2=80=

Yeah, dunno.  Maybe an option would be to create the index in such a way
that it is substitutable.

No; rather, it would look up the license in a dictionary and return the
corresponding object or #f if it=E2=80=99s not a known license.

Hi,

Sorry for the long delay in replying to this thread.

I think Ludo is right in that we can improve guix search performance with only
simple code improvements rather than including xapian or improving our
existing cache. Here are a few patches on those lines.

In `relevance`, we set our score to 0 if any of the regexps don't match. Then,
we might as well not match the remaining regexps. Patch 1 does this early cut
off optimization.

Often our search strings are only literal strings. So, we can save some time
by using string-contains instead of invoking the regexp engine. Patch 2 does
this. In addition, guile's string-contains uses a naive O(n^2) string search
algorithm. We should perhaps use the O(n) Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm[1]. In
fact, a comment on line 2006 of libguile/srfi-13.c in the guile source code
mentions this. If implemented, the KMP algorithm could speed up guix search
further.

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth%E2%80%93Morris%E2%80%93Pratt_algorithm

Patch 3 and 4 are minor improvements.

Here's a rough performance comparison.

Arun Isaac (4):
  ui: Cut off search early if any regexp does not match.
  ui: Use string matching with literal search strings.
  ui: Do not translate package synopsis a second time.
  ui: Use package-description-string.

Hi Arun,

Based on the Ludo's comments [1] on v4 which is a simple re-write of
your v3, I am finishing a vN+1.. but time flies and I am late on the
topic too. :-)

Well, this still unsent vN+1 series has the same performance of v4 on
"guix pull" which is a key point compared to v3.  Obviously, the
performance on "guix search" are equivalent on both version.  This
vN+1 builds two caches -- to avoid binary breakage -- in only one go;
the consuming 'fold-modules-public-variables*' is applied only once.

Well, improving the cache is easy; at least as you did in v3 by adding
another one.
The most annoying part is the arguments rewrite of 'package->recutils'
to be compliant.

However after some comparisons, I am not convinced that BM25 will be
worth to implement...

Interesting.

Really interesting idea,

On cold or warm cache?

So in the best case, you have the ratio old/new is 1.5; this new
version is 1.5 faster.

Well, in the extra cache approach (v3 or v4) the ration old/new is
really higher: 3.1 faster on cold cache (which is the one I am
interested in) and 2.4 faster on warm cache.


I will give a look to this new series and report what happens on my
laptop.  But basically, I would like "guix search" under the 1.0
second on my machine. ;-)


Thank you for this new input.

Cheers,
simon

Interesting, I'll be waiting for your patchset. :-)

On a warm cache.

We could always have both my optimizations and your improved cache. So,
that's a win on both fronts.

Indeed, I would love that too! :-)

I do not see any improvement on my machine.  Well, I am
double-checking because I should have screwed up something...

It could improve.
Well, I will try to do some back-to-envelop computations because I am
not convinced that the mean value of 'n' (length of description,
isn't) is large enough to really see an improvement for the end-user;
the visible bottleneck is I/O.

All the best,
simon

ps;
To be honest, I thought this kind of algorithm was the default. :-)

I also recommend taking a look at the Boyer Moore string search
implementation in (guix build grafts).

It would be great to generalize it and make it accessible to other parts
of Guix.

Nice, I didn't know Guix had an implementation of Boyer Moore. I'll take
a look at it. At the very least, I need something similar for
guile-email.

But, the current implementation of guile's string-contains is in C. So,
I assume a KMP or Boyer Moore implementation of string-contains should
also be in C.
