Reworks the hash equivalence server to address performance issues that were encountered with the REST mechanism used previously, particularly during the heavy request load encountered during signature generation. Notable changes are: 1) The server protocol is no longer HTTP based. Instead, it uses a simpler JSON over a streaming protocol link. This protocol has much lower overhead than HTTP since it eliminates the HTTP headers. 2) The hash equivalence server can either bind to a TCP port, or a Unix domain socket. Unix domain sockets are more efficient for local communication, and so are preferred if the user enables hash equivalence only for the local build. The arguments to the 'bitbake-hashserve' command have been updated accordingly. 3) The value to which BB_HASHSERVE should be set to enable a local hash equivalence server is changed to "auto" instead of "localhost:0". The latter didn't make sense when the local server was using a Unix domain socket. 4) Clients are expected to keep a persistent connection to the server instead of creating a new connection each time a request is made for optimal performance. 5) Most of the client logic has been moved to the hashserve module in bitbake. This makes it easier to share the client code. 6) A new bitbake command has been added called 'bitbake-hashclient'. This command can be used to query a hash equivalence server, including fetching the statistics and running a performance stress test. 7) The table indexes in the SQLite database have been updated to optimize hash lookups. This change is backward compatible, as the database will delete the old indexes first if they exist. 8) The server has been reworked to use python async to maximize performance with persistently connected clients. This requires Python 3.5 or later.

Bitbake
BitBake is a generic task execution engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run efficiently and in parallel while working within complex inter-task dependency constraints. One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core and builds embedded Linux software stacks using a task-oriented approach.
For information about Bitbake, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Bitbake plain documentation can be found under the doc directory or its integrated html version at the Yocto Project website: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
Contributing
Please refer to http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded for guidelines on how to submit patches, just note that the latter documentation is intended for OpenEmbedded (and its core) not bitbake patches (bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org) but in general main guidelines apply. Once the commit(s) have been created, the way to send the patch is through git-send-email. For example, to send the last commit (HEAD) on current branch, type:
git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
