      Description

      Attempting to run RawIngestTask with multiple processes on DM-25806, after fixing a pickling problem with Gen3DatasetIngestTask, produces the following stack trace:

      Discussion on #dm-middleware revealed that this functionality has never been tested. Investigate this bug in a pure-obs_base context and fix the problem. Unit tests for pickling support of RawIngestTask and related classes are a good starting point.

            Jim Bosch, can you be more specific? How does the proposed factory convert positional arguments into keyword arguments without knowing what they are? Or are you saying that it's impossible to decouple this code from Task?

            He's suggesting that from reduce you return a callable trampoline function, rather than the class, that takes positional arguments and then calls the real constructor with keyword arguments. This is a special hand-crafted trampoline function specifically for unpickling of this particular class.

            This ticket ended up scope-creeping a bit to cover DefineVisitsTask as well, which had a similar structure and issues to RawIngestTask.

            Unfortunately, most parallelism support cannot be checked through unit tests, because calling either RawIngestTask.run or DefineVisitsTask.run requires a Camera object, which the hypothetical "DummyCam" doesn't have. For now, I've used ap_verify to check that everything appears to work with HSC; parallel ingestion should become part of our integration tests once DM-25806 merges.

            Looks good!

            Any sense for whether the parallelization yields meaningful speedups?

            Sorry, it's hard to tell. I tried scaling up to the full HiTS-2015 dataset, but that revealed that the bottleneck (in ap_verify) was importing all the non-ingested datasets. I'll have to look into that separately (DM-26662).
