[OSSTEST,00/14] Flight report performance improvements

Message

Ian Jackson July 21, 2020, 6:41 p.m. UTC

osstest was taking far too long calculating what test failures were
regressions, and generating the email and web reports.  The slow part
was analysing the test history, mostly because it ended up doing a lot
of dumb scans of large tables.

In this series I fix this problem for sg-report-flight: I add some
indexes, and reorganise some of the queries so that they can make good
use of them.

I suspect there may still be problems with sg-report-host-history and
cs-bisection-step.  I haven't investigated those yet.

George: you volunteered to review my SQL.  I hope the information in
the commit messages is useful for that.  Thanks!
