Subject: Fixing midx bitmap related racy test failure (under sha-256)
Date: Mon, 15 Aug 2022 12:34:46 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220815070446.4990-1-chakrabortyabhradeep79@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Abhradeep Chakraborty <chakrabortyabhradeep79@gmail.com>

Hello developers,

I have been writing a patch series[1] to integrate a lookup table extension
to .bitmap file. I reformatted the test code so that I can run the same
tests for the lookup table extension. But this is causing a failure in a midx
bitmap related test case[2]. It is not related to my code because this
can be produced with out my changes.

If you see the test file[3] (with my changes) and also observe the test
results[4], you'll notice that the said test case is always failing on the 
second `test_midx_bitmap_cases` call under sha-256 only. This is racy in nature.
I.e. it might pass after executing the test 2 or 3 times.

I have been trying to solve the issue for one or two week but as I am not
very clear about the internal working of multi-pack-index or repacking, I
am still not able to solve the issue. Besides, my semester exam is starting
from 18 Aug. So I have to give a significant amount of time to studies.

So, it will be very helpful if anyone help me to find out the solution.
You can know more from this thread[5].

Thanks :)
