The benchmark was actually testing the speed of index lookups.

(The actual speed is ca. 131MiB/s.)
A side remark to the definition of Index.blob:
Another possibility would have been to use:
blob map[restic.BlobHandle]*indexEntry
This would have led to the following sizes:
key: 32 + 1 = 33 bytes
value: 8 bytes
indexEntry: 8 + 4 + 4 = 16 bytes
each packID: 32 bytes
To save N index entries, we would therefore have needed:
N * OF * (33 + 8) bytes + N * 16 + N * 32 bytes / BP = N * 82 bytes
More precicely, using a pointer instead of a direct entry is the better memory choice if:
OF * 8 bytes + entrysize < OF * entrysize <=> entrysize > 8 bytes * OF/(OF-1)
Under the assumption of OF=1.5, this means using pointers would have been the better choice
if sizeof(indexEntry) > 24 bytes.
- The SaveBlob method now checks for duplicates.
- Moves handling of pending blobs to MasterIndex.
-> also cleans up pending index entries when they are saved in the index
-> when using SaveBlob no need to care about index any longer
- Always check for full index and save it when storing packs.
-> removes the need of an index uploader
-> also removes the verbose "uploaded intermediate index" messages
- The Flush method now also saves the index
- Fix race condition when checking and saving full/non-finalized indexes
This command can only be built on Darwin, FreeBSD and Linux
(and if we upgrade bazil.org/fuse, only FreeBSD and Linux:
https://github.com/bazil/fuse/issues/224).
Listing the few supported operating systems explicitly here makes
porting restic to new platforms easier.
The Save methods of the BlobSaver, FileSaver and TreeSaver return early
on when the archiver is stopped due to an error. For that they select on
both the tomb.Dying() and context.Done() channels, which can lead to a
race condition when the tomb is killed due to an error: The tomb first
closes its Dying channel before canceling all child contexts.
Archiver.SaveDir only aborts its execution once the context was
canceled. When the tomb killing is paused between closing its Dying
channel and canceling the child contexts, this lets the
FileSaver/TreeSaver.Save methods return immediately, however, ScanDir
still reads further files causing the test case to fail.
As a killed tomb always cancels all child contexts and as the Savers
always use a context bound to the tomb, it is sufficient to just use
context.Done() as escape hatch in the Save functions. This fixes the
mismatch between SaveDir and Save.
Adjust the tests to use contexts bound to the tomb for all interactions
with the Savers.
The previous implementation was repeating the implementation that is
found inside of io.WriteString. Simplify by making use of the stdlib's
implementation.
The method only ever receives *hashing.Writers, which don't implement
io.Closer. These come from packerManager.findPacker and have their
actual writers closed in Repository.savePacker. Moving the closing logic
to hashing.Writer results in "file already closed" errors.
When loading a blob, restic first looks up pack files containing the
blob. To avoid unnecessary work an already cached pack file is preferred.
However, if there is only a single pack file to choose from (which is
the normal case) sorting the one-element list won't change anything.
Therefore avoid the unnecessary cache check in that case.
