The get_entities_changed function was changed to return all changed
entities since the given stream position, rather than only those changed
from a given list of entities. This resulted in the function incorrectly
returning large numbers of entities that, for example, caused large
increases in database usage.
parse_integer and parse_string can take a request and raise errors
in case we have wrong or missing params.
This PR tries to use them more to deduplicate some code and make it
better readable
The stream cache keeps track of all entities that have changed since
a particular stream position, so get_entities_changed does not need to
return unknown entites when given a larger stream position.
This makes it consistent with the behaviour of has_entity_changed.
This line shows up as about 5% of cpu time on a synchrotron:
not_known_entities = set(entities) - set(self._entity_to_key)
Presumably the problem here is that _entity_to_key can be largeish, and
building a set for its keys every time this function is called is slow.
Here we rewrite the logic to avoid building so many sets.
* Use more portable syntax using attrs package.
Newer syntax
attr.ib(factory=dict)
is just a syntactic sugar for
attr.ib(default=attr.Factory(dict))
It was introduced in newest version of attrs package (18.1.0)
and doesn't work with older versions.
We should either require minimum version of attrs to be 18.1.0,
or use older (slightly more verbose) syntax.
Requiring newest version is not a good solution because
Linux distributions may have older version of attrs (17.4.0 in Fedora 28),
and requiring to build (and package)
newer version just to use newer syntactic sugar in only one test
is just too much.
It's much better to fix that test to use older syntax.
