From ccc52adfb2121ade510d35dc9b91193af9fa731e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eelco Dolstra Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2012 18:55:39 -0400 Subject: Add function queryPathFromHashPart() To implement binary caches efficiently, Hydra needs to be able to map the hash part of a store path (e.g. "gbg...zr7") to the full store path (e.g. "/nix/store/gbg...kzr7-subversion-1.7.5"). (The binary cache mechanism uses hash parts as a key for looking up store paths to ensure privacy.) However, doing a search in the Nix store for /nix/store/* is expensive since it requires reading the entire directory. queryPathFromHashPart() prevents this by doing a cheap database lookup. --- src/nix-worker/nix-worker.cc | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) (limited to 'src/nix-worker') diff --git a/src/nix-worker/nix-worker.cc b/src/nix-worker/nix-worker.cc index 2f0a2ab209c5..74a619c71d0a 100644 --- a/src/nix-worker/nix-worker.cc +++ b/src/nix-worker/nix-worker.cc @@ -350,6 +350,15 @@ static void performOp(unsigned int clientVersion, break; } + case wopQueryPathFromHashPart: { + string hashPart = readString(from); + startWork(); + Path path = store->queryPathFromHashPart(hashPart); + stopWork(); + writeString(path, to); + break; + } + case wopAddToStore: { string baseName = readString(from); bool fixed = readInt(from) == 1; /* obsolete */ -- cgit 1.4.1
