New Revision: 146776

Log:
[v0.4]: Move to a model where the test suite is also responsible for defining
the set of sample values that can be reported by a run.
 - Based on substantial discussion with Jakob, see the todo.rst changes for
   longer explanation.

Main notable implications:
 * Should result in substantially better performance.
 * Eliminates need for mangling metadata into test names.
 * Makes some of my future goals more easy to realize (reporting binary hashes,
   for example).
 * Eliminates my reservations w.r.t. moving the status field (by itself) into
   the Sample.

I'm a bit worried about what this will mean for the UI code, but we will cross
that bridge when we come to it.

 but makes the UI code very painful. Especially, some things like making a graph
 of the test values for all tests which passed become incredibly complex.
 
-It is obvious that we need to move the "test status" indication into the sample
-field. However, this raises the question of what *else* should move into the
-status field. Is there a more general problem here?
-
-Also, just moving the test status in introduces other modeling problem, for
-example what about tests for which there is no meaningful notion of status? For
-example, an aggregate test that may produce a large number of results on
-success. Does it make sense to think about all those tests as succeeding? It
-seems ok, but not quite accurate.
-
-The only other option I can think of at the moment would be to allow multiple
-kinds of samples. This might be worth considering, because it also solves other
-problems like associating types with samples (instead of just requiring every
-sample to be a float).
-
-In particular, one thing I would very much like would be to be able to report
-the hash of the generated exutable along whenever we compile something (and
-eventually dispatch them to an archival server).
+The plan is to handle this problem by also constructing the Sample tables on the
+fly, and allowing the test suite to define the keys that go into a sample. Thus,
+any one sample will reflect *all* of the statistics that were reported for that
+test.
+
+This has many advantages:
+ * We can start using types for the columns (e.g., easy to start reporting hash
+   of produced binaries, for example).
+ * The performance impact of adding new sample values should be much lower than
+   in the old schema.
+ * The database explicitly models the fact that sample values were produced from
+   a single run, whereas before sample values and status could not technically
+   be correlated correctly.
+ * We eliminate the need to mangle subtest/test result key information into the
+   test name, which is a big win.
+
+The has some disadvantages, however:
+ * Poorly models suites where different tests reported different test results.
+ * Poorly models situations where we want to support a large number of test
+   results and that set might change frequently or dynamically (e.g., suppose we
+   reported one test for each LLVM Statistic counter).
+
+However, at least for our current usage this scheme should work well enough and
+be **substantially** faster than the old scheme.
+
+This will probably mean that we have to do a bit of work (similar to what we had
+to do for parameter sets) to handle what the UI for this should look
+like. However, we should have better infrastructure for defining how the UI
+should handle things in the metadata.

 Unaddressed Issues
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 There are couple design problems in the current system which I *am not*
 intending to address as part of the v0.4 changes.
 
-Test / Subtest Relationships
-++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-
-We currently impose a certain amount of structure on the tests and mangle it
-into the name (e.g., as "<test_name>.compile" or "<test_name>.exec", not to
-mention the status indicators). The status indicators are going to go away in
-the redesign, but we will still have the distinction between ".compile" and
-".exec".
-
-This works ok up to the point where we want to do things in the UI based on the
-test structure (for example, separate out compile time results from execution
-results). At the moment we have gross code in the UI which just happens to
-"know" these manglings, but it would be much better to have this be explicit in
-the schema.
-
-While I don't have a plan to solve this in the current iteration, I can imagine
-one way to solve this is to allow the test suite to define additional metadata
-that is present in the Test table. We would allow that metadata to specify how
-tests should be displayed, their units, etc.
-
-This could be more important problem going forward if we wanted to start
-reporting large numbers of additional statistics (like number of spills, etc.).
