staging_request(filename, normalize, data, password)

Upload a testing payload storage to a staging globaltag and create or update a jira issue

Parameters

• filename (str) – filename of the testing payload storage file that should be uploaded

• normalize (bool/str) – if True the payload root files will be normalized to have the same checksum for the same content, if normalize is a string in addition the file name in the root file metadata will be set to it

• data (dict) –

  a dictionary with the information provided by the user:

  • task: category of globaltag, either master, online, prompt, data, mc, or analysis

  • tag: the globaltage name

  • request: type of request, either Update, New, or Modification. The latter two imply task == master because if new payload classes are introduced or payload classes are modified then they will first be included in the master globaltag. Here a synchronization of code and payload changes has to be managed. If new or modified payload classes should be included in other globaltags they must already be in a release.

  • pull-request: number of the pull request containing new or modified payload classes, only for request == New or Modified

  • backward-compatibility: description of what happens if the old payload is encountered by the updated code, only for request == Modified

  • forward-compatibility: description of what happens if a new payload is encountered by the existing code, only for request == Modified

4.6.6. conditions_db.iov

This module contains classes to work with validity intervals. There’s a class for a single interval, IntervalOfValidity and a class to manage a set of validities, IoVSet, which can be used to manipulate iov ranges

class conditions_db.iov.IntervalOfValidity(*iov)

Interval of validity class to support set operations like union and intersection.

An interval of validity is a set of runs for which something is valid. An IntervalOfValidity consists of a first valid run and a final valid run.

Warning

The final run is inclusive so the the validity is including the final run.

Each run is identified by a experiment number and a run number. Accessing first or final will return a tuple (experiment, run) but the elements can also be accessed separately with first_exp, first_exp, final_exp and final_run.

For final there’s a special case where either the run or both, the run and the experiment number are infinite. This means the validity extends to all values. If only the run number is infinite then it’s valid for all further runs in this experiment. If both are infinite the validity extends to everything.

For simplicity -1 can be passed in instead of infinity when creating objects.

static always()

Return an iov that is valid everywhere

>>> IntervalOfValidity.always()
(0, 0, inf, inf)

contains(exp, run)

Check if a run is part of the validtiy

property final

Return the final valid experiment,run

property final_exp

Return the final valid experiment

property final_run

Return the final valid run

property first

Return the first valid experiment,run

property first_exp

Return the first valid experiment

property first_run

Return the first valid run

intersect(other)

Intersection with another iov.

Will return None if the payloads don’t overlap

>>> iov1 = IntervalOfValidity(1,0,2,5)
>>> iov2 = IntervalOfValidity(2,0,2,-1)
>>> iov3 = IntervalOfValidity(2,10,5,-1)
>>> iov1.intersect(iov2)
(2, 0, 2, 5)
>>> iov2.intersect(iov3)
(2, 10, 2, inf)
>>> iov3.intersect(iov1) is None
True

property is_open

Check whether the iov is valid until infinity

subtract(other)

Return a new iov with the validity of the other removed. Will return None if everything is removed.

Warning

If the other iov is in the middle of the validity we will return a tuple of two new iovs

>>> iov1 = IntervalOfValidity(0,0,10,-1)
>>> iov2 = IntervalOfValidity(5,0,5,-1)
>>> iov1 - iov2
((0, 0, 4, inf), (6, 0, 10, inf))

property tuple

Return the iov as a tuple with experiment/run numbers replaced with -1

This is mostly helpful where infinity is not supported and is how the intervals are represented in the database.

>>> a = IntervalOfValidity.always()
>>> a
(0, 0, inf, inf)
>>> a.tuple
(0, 0, -1, -1)

union(other, allow_startone=False)

Return the union with another iov.

>>> iov1 = IntervalOfValidity(1,0,1,-1)
>>> iov2 = IntervalOfValidity(2,0,2,-1)
>>> iov3 = IntervalOfValidity(2,10,5,-1)
>>> iov1.union(iov2)
(1, 0, 2, inf)
>>> iov2.union(iov3)
(2, 0, 5, inf)
>>> iov3.union(iov1) is None
True

Warning

This method will return None if the iovs don’t overlap or connect to each other as no union can be formed.

Parameters

• other (IntervalOfValidity) – IoV to calculate the union with

• allow_startone (bool) –

  If True we will consider run 0 and run 1 the first run in an experiment. This means that if one of the iovs has un unlimited final run it can be joined with the other iov if the experiment number increases and the iov starts at run 0 and 1. If this is False just run 0 is considered the next run.

  >>> iov1 = IntervalOfValidity(0,0,0,-1)
  >>> iov2 = IntervalOfValidity(1,1,1,-1)
  >>> iov1.union(iov2, False) is None
  True
  >>> iov1.union(iov2, True)
  (0, 0, 1, inf)
  

class conditions_db.iov.IoVSet(iterable=None, *, allow_overlaps=False, allow_startone=False)

A set of iovs.

This class allows to combine iovs into a set. New iovs can be added with add() and will be combined with existing iovs if possible.

The final, minimal number of iovs can be obtained with the iovs property

>>> a = IoVSet()
>>> a.add((0,0,0,2))
>>> a.add((0,3,0,5))
>>> a.add((0,8,0,9))
>>> a
{(0, 0, 0, 5), (0, 8, 0, 9)}

add(iov, allow_overlaps=None)

Add a new iov to the set.

The new iov be combined with existing iovs if possible. After the operation the set will contain the minimal amount of separate iovs possible to represent all added iovs

>>> a = IoVSet()
>>> a.add((0, 0, 0, 2))
>>> a.add((0, 3, 0, 5))
>>> a.add((0, 8, 0, 9))
>>> a
{(0, 0, 0, 5), (0, 8, 0, 9)}
>>> a.add(IoVSet([(10, 0, 10, 1), (10, 2, 10, -1)]))
>>> a
{(0, 0, 0, 5), (0, 8, 0, 9), (10, 0, 10, inf)}

Be aware, by default it’s not possible to add overlapping iovs to the set. This can be changed either on construction or per add call using allow_overlap

>>> a.add((0, 2, 0, 3))
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
ValueError: Overlap between (0, 0, 0, 5) and (0, 2, 0, 3)
>>> a.add((0, 2, 0, 3), allow_overlaps=True)
>>> a
{(0, 0, 0, 5), (0, 8, 0, 9), (10, 0, 10, inf)}

Parameters

• iov (Union[IoVSet, IntervalOfValidity, tuple(int)]) – IoV or set of IoVs to add to this set

• allow_overlaps (bool) – Can be used to override global overlap setting of this set to allow/restrict overlaps for a single insertion operation

Warning

>>> b.gaps
{(3, 0, 4, inf)}
>>> c = IoVSet([(0,0,2,-1), (5,0,5,-1), (10,3,10,6)])
>>> c.gaps
{(3, 0, 4, inf), (6, 0, 10, 2)}

intersect(iov)

Intersect this set with another set and return a new set which is valid exactly where both sets have been valid before

>>> a = IoVSet()

In contrast to contains this doesn’t require the given iov to be fully covered. It’s enough if the any run covered by the iov is also covered by this set.

True
>>> a.overlaps((3,0,4,-1))
False

Parameters

iov (Union[IoVSet, IntervalOfValidity, tuple(int)]) – IoV or set of IoVs to be checked

Returns

True if the iov or any of the iovs in the given set overlap with any iov in this set

remove(iov)

Remove an iov or a set of iovs from this set

After this operation the set will not be valid for the given iov or set of iovs:

>>> a.remove((5,0,8,5))

{(0, 0, 0, inf), (2, 0, 4, inf), (8, 6, 10, inf)}
>>> a.remove(IoVSet([(3,0,3,10), (3,11,3,-1)]))
>>> a
{(0, 0, 0, inf), (2, 0, 2, inf), (4, 0, 4, inf), (8, 6, 10, inf)}

Parameters

iov (Union[IoVSet, IntervalOfValidity, tuple(int)]) – IoV or set of IoVs to remove from this set

Warning

This method modifies the set in place
