The pending codec -> conversion split changes the signature of
Encode and Decode to be more complicated. Create a stub helper
with the exact semantics of today and do the simple mechanical
refactor here to reduce the cost of that change.
This enables use of software or hardware transports viz. be2iscsi,
bnx2i, cxgb3i, cxgb4i, qla4xx, iser and ocs. The default transport
(tcp) happens to be called "default".
Use of non-default transports changes the disk path to the following format:
/dev/disk/by-path/pci-<pci_id>-ip-<portal>-iscsi-<iqn>-lun-<lun_id>
The original scale function takes around 800ns/op with more
than 10 allocations. It significantly slow down scheduler
and other components that heavily relys on resource pkg.
For more information see #18126.
This pull request tries to optimize scale function. It takes
two approach:
1. when the value is small, only use normal math ops.
2. when the value is large, use math.Big with buffer pool.
The final result is:
BenchmarkScaledValueSmall-4 20000000 66.9 ns/op 0 B/op 0 allocs/op
BenchmarkScaledValueLarge-4 2000000 711 ns/op 48 B/op 1 allocs/op
I also run the scheduler benchmark again. It doubles the throughput of
scheduler for 1000 nodes case.
Before this change we have a mish-mash of ways to pass field names around for
error generation. Sometimes string fieldnames, sometimes .Prefix(), sometimes
neither, often wrong names or not indexed when it should be.
Instead of that mess, this is part one of a couple of commits that will make it
more strongly typed and hopefully encourage correct behavior. At least you
will have to think about field names, which is better than nothing.
It turned out to be really hard to do this incrementally.
All external types that are not int64 are now marked as int32,
including
IntOrString. Prober is now int32 (43 years should be enough of an initial
probe time for anyone).
Did not change the metadata fields for now.
