dixondok folks - pop quiz; in RelStorage, the Oracle commit-lock-id - does this have to be an int, or can it be an arbitrary string?05:51
dixondwhat are the limitations/constraints?05:51
koshnot a clue at all05:51
dixondheh05:52
koshI have not used Relstorage in production05:52
koshwhen I did testing on it with postgres I found it no faster then ZEO but more unreliable under high load so I decided not to use it05:52
koshrelstorage is faster then ZEO in 2.12 and under though by a lot05:52
koshbut ZEO in 2.13 got a MAJOR speed boost05:52
dixondyeah, unfortunately my driver is HA :-/  otherwise I'd just stick with ZEO - it's worked great for us for years.05:53
koshI had 4 zopes talking to ZEO/Relstorage and I found that when I I had about 1000 simul connections across the zopes that ZEO completed every tranasction05:53
koshI ended up with Relstorage and postgres not completing some transaction and if I made the test long enough postgres would just stop accepting all connections05:54
dixondLOL ouch.05:54
koshit would show no errors of any kind, it just would not accept any connections05:54
koshso I tried to use pgpool and pgool2 and both of them had the same problem05:54
koshand when I consulted docs on both of those that was a known issue05:54
dixondknow issue? holy hell, that's a doozy of a 'known issue' with no fix...05:55
koshso you had to install a heartbeat program that would autorestart pgpool or pgpool2 when they died since the devs had no idea why they died05:55
dixond'oops, I'm too busy'05:55
koshbut at least then you did not have to restart postgres05:55
dixondheartbeat sucks.05:55
koshso to replace ZEO with something that would be as reliable would involve postgres + pgpool2 + heartbeat and still not run as fast05:55
koshat that point I decided reliability did not really matter that much beyoned what ZEO did already05:56
koshI make backups once per day and could do once per hour or less if that was important and restore that in a few minutes05:56
koshI like the rackspace cloud servers05:56
dixondyeah. The dumb thing is I have *never* had ZEO die. Never. ... But it's all about 'perception' of risk in this scenario :-/05:56
koshyeah I have not had ZEO or Zope crash on me in years05:57
* dixond likes ZEO a lot05:57
koshthey are the most stable software I have worked with by a long shot05:57
koshand the security track record is amazing05:57
dixondyup05:57
koshmost other systems have more exploits in a week then zope has had in the last 10 years combined!05:57
koshand the zope devs have taken reliability extremely seriously05:58
koshand with 2.13 ZEO got an insane speedup05:58
koshright now I have 2.13 ZEO and I am moving all my binary stuff to blobs for an even bigger gain05:58
koshafter I get all of that done I am going to test zlibstorage which is supposed to give another nice gain05:58
koshit just seems to match the reliability of ZEO with relstorage requires a lot of moving parts that all have to work correctly and that don't do that in reality05:59
dixondzlibstorage - zips everything by default inside ZODB?05:59
koshon a record by record basis05:59
dixondcool05:59
koshit does not compress records that don't gain from compression05:59
dixondvery. cool.05:59
dixondless IO FTW05:59
koshand it turns out that since cpu time is so much vastly faster then disk io time that it really makes a speed difference05:59
koshsince you lower IO and trade it for a tiny ammount of cpu time06:00
dixondexactly. very nice.06:00
kosheven on a pentium 60 that was a good tradeoff (os/2 supported compressed exes for a huge gain)06:00
koshon a modern chip that is an insanely great tradeoff06:00
dixondhe06:00
dixondh06:00
koshso you move all blobs to the filesystem and then compress all your remaining objects06:00
koshand you still have the insane reliability of zope + zeo06:01
dixondheh - just answered my question the old fashioned way: Try It And See   (Error: invalid literal for long(): shared-edit-main)06:01
koshI can see why stuff like postgres or mysql talk about HA, they need it!06:02
dixondyeah, they really do06:02
dixondZEO just never dies. it's a rock.06:02
koshI talked with one old friend recently and a mysql db they had needed about 4 hours worth of repairs every single day from corruption06:02
dixondwoah. that's crazy. holy hell.06:03
koshshe knew it was a problem but money was not there to fix it and the vendor told them to screw off06:03
koshthey paid a huge ammount of money for the app and the vendor would not support them at all06:03
koshand they had run out of money to get the app rebuilt06:03
koshI probably have not spent 4 hours recoving data from a corrupt ZEO in the last 4 years much less 4 hours per day06:04
dixondno. the only time I have ever spent with Zope was when I buggered a couple transactions up and truncated the DB to fix. And that was a no-brainer.06:06
koshapparently zope also does something completely novel and amazing compared to php before making a release06:09
koshthey actually run the unit test code to make sure it passes before releasing06:09
koshyou know that recent php security exploit for the crypto functions06:09
koshtheir test suite caught that problem along with a few hundred other problems06:09
koshbut they NEVER ran the test suite before making a release!06:09
dixondyou have got to be kidding. ugh.06:10
koshno that one is not a joke at all06:10

djcany hints on how that could happen?12:00
djc(when trying to run the test suite on zope.interface)12:01
*** TomBlockley has joined #zope12:01
djcit seems to get the installed zope.interface instead of the one being tested, but I don't get why12:01
bigkevmcddjc: what version is on your python path12:04
bigkevmcddjc: where are you running the tests from? what's in that directory?12:04
djcbigkevmcd: I'm running it inside Gentoo's packaging system12:06
djcsys.path looks like this: ['/var/tmp/portage/net-zope/zope-interface-3.7.0/work/zope.interface-3.7.0/src', '/var/tmp/portage/net-zope/zope-interface-3.7.0/work/zope.interface-3.7.0', '/home/djc/src/python-spidermonkey', '/home/djc/src/couchdb-python', '/var/tmp/portage/net-zope/zope-interface-3.7.0/work/zope.interface-3.7.0/build-2.7/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7', '/usr/lib64/python27.zip', '/usr/lib64/python2.7', '/usr/lib64/python2.7/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib64/python2.12:06
bigkevmcdI don't know anything about Gentoo's packaging system, I haven't looked at Gentoo for a very, very long time12:06
*** vortec has joined #zope12:06
djcthen in that loop slightly before the failure, it picks up zope from the correct path, but it uses zope.interface from site-packages12:07
djcy12:07

vortechi, packing a Data.fs takes some time - is it safe to let zope running and let users make changes to objects in the meantime?12:08

*** mr_jolly has quit IRC12:15
vortecbetabug-mb: can you explain or do you have a link which explains what exactly happens when you pack a database?12:21
betabug-mbhmmm, it goes through the Data.fs and rebuilds it into a new one, using only the latest revisions of objects12:22

dixondok folks, deep technical ZODB question coming16:47
dixondlet's say I have a ZODB with a bunch of stuff in it mount inside Zope as '/my-stuff'16:47
dixondnow lets say I change the zope.conf to make the mount point '/other-stuff'16:47
dixondmy observation is that the DB contents are no longer visible16:48
dixond1) is this expected?16:48
dixond2) is the only solution to use aliasing inside zope.conf, or is there some other way?16:48

*** dayne has joined #zope17:05
*** dayne has quit IRC17:08
dixondConceptually, surely there is a way to 'cutnpaste' the content under the original mount path to a new monut path without having to use the aliasing juju17:11

dixondhmmm, I could possibly also open the storage manually and just rename the top-level (mountpoint) object?17:30
*** cwarner_ has quit IRC17:30
dixondhrm. it seems that mountpoints don't support the rename operation.17:34
*** tiwula has joined #zope17:35
*** thetet has quit IRC17:36
dixondeven more hmmm. why is 'meta_type' attribute required before cut/paste will work?17:36
dixondoh ugh.17:37
dixondthis is totally just about permissions.17:37
dixondso... reading the code looks like I can just do this 'by hand' as it were...17:39
*** cwarner has joined #zope17:41
dixondhohohoh!17:42
dixondand just like magic, it worked.17:42
dixondwooo-weeeeee17:42
dixondall my data just magically appeared in the instance using the new mointpoint.17:43
