This is mostly just "cargo fix --edition" + Cargo.toml changes.
There's one fix for upgrading to NLL in db/writer.rs:
Writer::previously_opened wouldn't build with NLL because of a
double-borrow the previous borrow checker somehow didn't catch.
Restructure to avoid it.
I'll put elective NLL changes in a following commit.
* separate these out into a new file, writer.rs, as dir.rs was getting
unwieldy.
* extract traits for the parts of SampleFileDir and std::fs::File they needed;
set up mock implementations.
* move clock.rs to a new base crate to be accessible from the db crate.
* add tests that exercise all the retry paths.
* bugfix: account for the new recording's bytes when calculating how much to
delete.
* bugfix: when retrying an unlink failure in collect_garbage, we shouldn't
warn about all the recordings no longer existing. Do this by retrying each
step rather than the whole procedure again.
* avoid double-panic scenarios, which I hit while tweaking the mocks. These
are quite annoying to debug as Rust doesn't print information about either
panic. I ended up using lldb to get a backtrace. Better to be cautious about
what we're doing when already panicking.
* give more context on raw::insert_recording errors, which I hit as well while
tweaking the new tests.
There may be considerable lag between being fully written and being committed
when using the flush_if_sec feature. Additionally, this is a step toward
listing and viewing recordings before they're fully written. That's a
considerable delay: 60 to 120 seconds for the first recording of a run,
0 to 60 seconds for subsequent recordings.
These recordings aren't yet included in the information returned by
/api/?days=true. They probably should be, but small steps.
I want to start having the db.rs version augment this with the uncommitted
recordings, and it's nice to have the separation of the raw db vs augmented
versions. Also, this fits with the general theme of shrinking db.rs a bit.
I had to put the raw video_sample_entry_id into the rows rather than
the video_sample_entry Arc. In hindsight, this is better anyway: the common
callers don't need to do the btree lookup and arc clone on every row. I think
I'd originally done it that way only because I was quite new to rust and
didn't understand that db could be used from within the row callback given
that both borrows are immutable.
I want to be able to use it in etags without having to do a full scan of the
recording_playback in advance, which would greatly increase time to first
byte. I probably will even use it in urls to ensure the segments they point to
are stable. I haven't actually done this yet - it will wait until I implement
serving unflushed recordings - but I want to get the schema set up properly.
When list_oldest_recordings was called twice with no intervening flush, it
returned the same rows twice. This led to trying to delete it twice and all
following flushes failing with a "no such recording x/y" message. Now, return
each row only once, and track how many bytes have been returned.
I think dir.rs's logic is still wrong for how many bytes to delete when
multiple recordings are flushed at once (it ignores the bytes added by the
first when computing the bytes to delete for the second), but this is
progress.
As noted in schema.sql, this can be used for disambiguation. It also may be
useful in diagnosing data integrity problems.
Also, sneak in a couple minor improvements: better diagnostics in a couple
places, fix to 1->2 upgrade procedure.
This improves the practicality of having many streams (including the doubling
of streams by having main + sub streams for each camera). With these tuned
properly, extra streams don't cause any extra write cycles in normal or error
cases. Consider the worst case in which each RTSP session immediately sends a
single frame and then fails. Moonfire retries every second, so this would
formerly cause one commit per second per stream. (flush_if_sec=0 preserves
this behavior.) Now the commits can be arbitrarily infrequent by setting
higher values of flush_if_sec.
WARNING: this isn't production-ready! I hacked up dir.rs to make tests pass
and "moonfire-nvr run" work in the best-case scenario, but it doesn't handle
errors gracefully. I've been debating what to do when writing a recording
fails. I considered "abandoning" the recording then either reusing or skipping
its id. (in the latter case, marking the file as garbage if it can't be
unlinked immediately). I think now there's no point in abandoning a recording.
If I can't write to that file, there's no reason to believe another will work
better. It's better to retry that recording forever, and perhaps put the whole
directory into an error state that stops recording until those writes go
through. I'm planning to redesign dir.rs to make this happen.
