2017-12-07 Provide random access to cached NARsEelco Dolstra1-19/+63
E.g. $ time nix cat-store --store https://cache.nixos.org?local-nar-cache=/tmp/nars \ /nix/store/b0w2hafndl09h64fhb86kw6bmhbmnpm1-blender-2.79/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/blender.svg > /dev/null real 0m4.139s $ time nix cat-store --store https://cache.nixos.org?local-nar-cache=/tmp/nars \ /nix/store/b0w2hafndl09h64fhb86kw6bmhbmnpm1-blender-2.79/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/blender.svg > /dev/null real 0m0.024s (Before, the second call took ~0.220s.) This will use a NAR listing in /tmp/nars/b0w2hafndl09h64fhb86kw6bmhbmnpm1.ls containing all metadata, including the offsets of regular files inside the NAR. Thus, we don't need to read the entire NAR. (We do read the entire listing, but that's generally pretty small. We could use a SQLite DB by borrowing some more code from nixos-channel-scripts/file-cache.hh.) This is primarily useful when Hydra is serving files from an S3 binary cache, in particular when you have giant NARs. E.g. we had some 12 GiB NARs, so accessing individuals files was pretty slow.

This speeds up commands like "nix cat-store". For example: $ time nix cat-store --store https://cache.nixos.org?local-nar-cache=/tmp/nar-cache /nix/store/i60yncmq6w9dyv37zd2k454g0fkl3arl-systemd-234/etc/udev/udev.conf real 0m4.336s $ time nix cat-store --store https://cache.nixos.org?local-nar-cache=/tmp/nar-cache /nix/store/i60yncmq6w9dyv37zd2k454g0fkl3arl-systemd-234/etc/udev/udev.conf real 0m0.045s The primary motivation is to allow hydra-server to serve files from S3 binary caches. Previously Hydra had a hack to do "nix-store -r <path>", but that fetches the entire closure so is prohibitively expensive. There is no garbage collection of the NAR cache yet. Also, the entire NAR is read when accessing a single member file. We could generate the NAR listing to provide random access. Note: the NAR cache is indexed by the store path hash, not the content hash, so NAR caches should not be shared between binary caches, unless you're sure that all your builds are binary-reproducible.
