The `make_grpcio_tools.py` rube-goldberg machinery relies on
`bazel` to extract the list of files required to compile the
`grpcio-tools` package that are provided by the `protobuf`
submodule. In order to ensure that list is up to date,
`check_grpcio_tools.py` sanity check does the same `bazel`
query, and checks the full contents against the already
existing list in the repository. This has the downside of
requiring `bazel` to run that particular check at sanity test
time, and flakiness has been seen there.
This commit changes the code generation process to include
the git hash of the submodule at the time `make_grpcio_tools.py`
is invoked and stores it in the generated file and instead of
doing the whole process at test time, the `check_grpcio_tools.py`
sanity test simply checks the submodule version at test time
and verifies it against the version included in the file by
`make_grpcio_tools.py` thus removing the `bazel` dependency
at test time and increasing test robustness and speed.
Caching the start-time for GPR_CLOCK_REALTIME has been causing errors in
cases where the system time is changed (after caching the time). In such
cases, the following functions produce incorrect results (and are off by
how much ever the system time was changed)
grpc_millis_to_timespec() and grpc_timespec_to_millis_round_down()
This can cause problems especially when using the above functions to
get timer deadlines or completion queue timeouts.
(In the worst case scenarios, the timeouts/deadlines will always occur (if the
timeout inverval / deadline was less than the system change delta)
Ideally we should be reverting https://github.com/grpc/grpc/pull/11866
but since that is a large change (which introduced new APIs in
exec_ctx.cc), I am doing this change to effectively revert to the old
behavior (while still keeping the new APIs introduced in exec_ctx)
Doing this without a lock causes TSAN failures for quic.
There isn't much need to be clever here because this only impacts
shutdown performance, which doesn't really matter.
The previous packaging structure exhibited strange behavior of
slowness when trying to use pip to install grpcio-reflection
or grpcio-health-checking in a single line with grpcio-tools.
The root cause seems to be the complicated interaction between
pip and setuptools and the fact that we ship a single .tar.gz
"source" archive for `grpcio_reflection` and
`grpcio_health_checking` packages. `pip` tries to build this
"source" package, and our build process wants to generate
code for the `.proto` files in the package. However, we have
already processed the `.proto` files into `_pb2.py` files in
our artifact build process, and installing `grpcio_tools`
to get `grpcio_{reflection,health_checking}` seems excessive.
The behavior gets worse since `setuptools`, while building
the package from source, tries to fetch `grpcio_tools` from
source and build that too. This takes a while, since it
involves compiling a bunch of native code from `protobuf` and
`grpc` and requires a C compiler to boot.
This commit modifies the Python artifact for the two packages
so that they will not include the raw `.proto` files in the
distribution uploaded to PyPI, nor would they contain the
Python module that does the preprocessing code generation
from the respective .proto files. Instead, a specific code
path is taken when the generated `_pb2_grpc` Python module is
not present in the package to provide such functionality
when built from the gRPC git repository (and hence when built
from our CI infrastructure.)
