I certainly have no objections to things being faster.

 

My only concern was on the geotools side, if there was an API change. I don’t 
see that as a consideration on geoserver though (application vs library).

 

I’m not really able to help with it at the moment though, although I may be 
able to apply some test effort.

Subject: Re: [Geoserver-devel] Speeding up the GeoServer build by splitting 
some modules

 

Hi,

as with the thread on geotools-devel, there seems to be a distinct lack of 
enthusiams

for the topic.

Can at least get a sense if there are people opposed to the changes I'm 
proposing?

I'd like to know before starting to split modules apart :-)

 

Cheers

Andreda

Hi,

following up the geotools-devel thread on speeding up the build, I've made some 
checks on 

GeoServer as well.

 

<aside>

Please let's not start a discussion about tests being integration and thus 
slow, we all know that,

but I'm trying to discuss something that can be done with limited resources 
here,

not planning the next 10 years of development or selling an idea for the next 
code sprint :-)

(it's a fair conversation topic, if you want to start it please just do so in a 
separate mail thread).

</aside>

 

Compared to GeoTools the build takes longer because, among other reasons, it 
parallelizes a lot less.

The "chain of death" keeping the build in low parallel mode is, roughly:

main->wfs->wms->restconfig->app-schema-test

 

The main module takes here 1:20, and everything else depends on it. A large 
chunk of that time is

spent running security related tests.

I'm only semi serious here, but as far as I can see, it could be beneficial to 
move the securty

tests to their own module (e.g., security/core) while leaving the security 
classes in main.

I'm just semi-serious because I realize splitting apart the classes and their 
tests is not that great,

but at the same time, it could easily shave off 30-60 seconds off the critical 
path.

 

The WMS dependency onto WFS is hard to un-tangle, I've tried already some years 
ago and

eventually gave up, it would require its own mini-sprint imho... so off the 
board for this discussion.

 

Restconfig is where things get interesting and actually doable in a relatively 
short time.

Restconfig is a slow module to build, and has to wait onto all core OGC 
services to be built, but it

does not have to be that way: I propose we split the service support part into 
a small per service

module, e.g.:

*       gs-restconfig-wfs
*       gs-restconfig-wms
*       gs-restconfig-wcs
*       gs-restconfig-wps (missing today, no way to configure WPS from REST)
*       gs-restconfig-csw (missing today, no way to configure CSW from REST)

Basically gs-restconfig would contain the core abstract service controller 
class, and the "one class modules"

would add the templates, extra code, and tests (side effect, we'd make the 
service rest configuration

actually pluggable). 

There are also 4-5 a few tests hitting the OGC services as part of the tests, 
those could also be moved

to the service specific restconfig module.

This way the main gs-restconfig module could start building as soon as gs-main 
has completed.

 

The other module that should be split imho is the app-schema-test one, in the 
current build, and 

on my current machine, it runs alone for 55 seconds after any other module has 
terminated building.

The reason being that it depends on too many things, wfs, wms, restconfig. 

I believe the module mostly does WFS tests with a few WMS and I believe just 
one REST test, so can

we split it into three parts that can start running as soon as their 
dependencies are made available?

*       app-schema-wfs-test
*       app-schema-wms-test
*       app-schema-rest-test

Cheers

Andrea
