From cc1e4805de38c97dd70625fb47b52aa0dc112bf8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alex FAIVRE Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 11:17:34 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Defer content_ids in the content app's pass-through path _match_distribution() select_related()s RepositoryVersion (directly and via publication) without deferring content_ids, a large ArrayField (one UUID per unit of content). For a distribution with no matching PublishedArtifact rows (e.g. a verbatim publication), every request falls into the pass-through branch, which reads publication.repository_version.content -- forcing psycopg2 to parse the whole array into a Python list on every uncached request. Two changes: - defer repository_version__content_ids and publication__repository_version__content_ids on the _match_distribution() query, since nothing there needs the array. - build the pass-through ContentArtifact filter from a server-side unnest() subquery on the FK id instead of the .content property, which reads self.content_ids unconditionally (so a bare defer() on its own does not help once .content is called: Django reloads the deferred column on first touch). Measured against a real 347068-entry RepositoryVersion: this code path drops from ~0.85s to ~0.01-0.02s. Content served is unaffected -- verified identical ContentArtifact resolution before/after on a sample of real relative_paths across three separate verbatim apt mirrors. --- ...efer-content-ids-in-content-handler.bugfix | 1 + pulpcore/content/handler.py | 46 ++++++++++++++++++- 2 files changed, 46 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 CHANGES/+defer-content-ids-in-content-handler.bugfix diff --git a/CHANGES/+defer-content-ids-in-content-handler.bugfix b/CHANGES/+defer-content-ids-in-content-handler.bugfix new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..102f50c46e3 --- /dev/null +++ b/CHANGES/+defer-content-ids-in-content-handler.bugfix @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +Stopped the content app from hydrating the full `content_ids` array on every request to a distribution served without a matching `PublishedArtifact` (e.g. verbatim publications): `_match_distribution()` now defers `content_ids` on the `RepositoryVersion`s it loads, and the pass-through fallback builds its `ContentArtifact` filter from a server-side `unnest()` subquery instead of the `RepositoryVersion.content` property.
