-- AdvancedRecalibrationEngine now uses a thread-local table for the quality score table, and in finalizeData merges these thread-local tables into the final table. Radically reduces the contention for RecalDatum in this very highly used table
-- Refactored the utility function to combine two tables into RecalUtils, and created UnitTests for this function, as well as all of RecalibrationTables. Updated combine in RecalibrationReport to use this table combiner function
-- Made several core functions in RecalDatum into final methods for performance
-- Added RecalibrationTestUtils, a home for recalibration testing utilities
-- The previous model was to enqueue individual map jobs (with a resolution of 1 map job per map call), to track the number of map calls submitted via a counter and a semaphore, and to use this information in each map job and reduce to control the number of map jobs, when reduce was complete, etc. All hideously complex.
-- This new model is vastly simply. The reducer basically knows nothing about the control mechanisms in the NanoScheduler. It just supports multi-threaded reduce. The NanoScheduler enqueues exactly nThread jobs to be run, which continually loop reading, mapping, and reducing until they run out of material to read, when they shut down. The master thread of the NS just holds a CountDownLatch, initialized to nThreads, and when each thread exits it reduces the latch by 1. The master thread gets the final reduce result when its free by the latch reaching 0. It's all super super simple.
-- Because this model uses vastly fewer synchronization primitives within the NS itself, it's naturally much faster at getting things done, without any of the overhead obvious in profiles of BQSR -nct 2.
-- reduceAsMuchAsPossible no longer blocks threads via synchronization, but instead uses an explicit lock to manage access. If the lock is already held (because some thread is doing reduce) then the thread attempting to reduce immediately exits the call and continues doing productive work. They removes one major source of blocking contention in the NanoScheduler
-- Created a separate, limited interface MapResultsQueue object that previously was set to the PriorityBlockingQueue.
-- The MapResultsQueue is now backed by a synchronized ExpandingArrayList, since job ids are integers incrementing from 0 to N. This means we avoid the n log n sort in the priority queue which was generating a lot of cost in the reduce step
-- Had to update ReducerUnitTest because the test itself was brittle, and broken when I changed the underlying code.
-- A few bits of minor code cleanup through the system (removing unused constructors, local variables, etc)
-- ExpandingArrayList called ensureCapacity so that we increase the size of the arraylist once to accommodate the upcoming size needs
-- Pre-read MapData into a list, which is actually faster than dealing with future lock contention issues with lots of map threads
-- Increase the ReadShard default size to 100K reads by default
-- Created a ReadRecalibrationInfo class that holds all of the information (read, base quality vectors, error vectors) for a read for the call to updateDataForRead in RecalibrationEngine. This object has a restrictive interface to just get information about specific qual and error values at offset and for event type. This restrict allows us to avoid creating an vector of byte 45 for each read to represent BI and BD values not in the reads. Shaves 5% of the runtime off the entire code.
-- Cleaned up code and added lots more docs
-- With this commit we no longer have much in the way of low-hanging fruit left in the optimization of BQSR. 95% of the runtime is spent in BAQing the read, and updating the RecalData in the NestedIntegerArrays.
-- Update SAMDataSource so that the merged header contains GATKSAMReadGroupRecord
-- Now getting the NGSPlatform for a GATKSAMRecord is actually efficient, instead of computing the NGS platform over and over from the PL string
-- Updated a few places in the code where the input argument is actually a GATKSAMRecord, not a SAMRecord for type safety
- Added an optional argument to BaseRecalibrator to produce sorted GATKReport Tables
- Modified BSQR Integration Tests to include the optional argument. Tests now produce sorted tables

This is an intermediate commit so that there is a record of these changes in our
commit history. Next step is to isolate the test classes as well, and then move
the entire package to the Picard repository and replace it with a jar in our repo.
-Removed all dependencies on org.broadinstitute.sting (still need to do the test classes,
though)
-Had to split some of the utility classes into "GATK-specific" vs generic methods
(eg., GATKVCFUtils vs. VCFUtils)
-Placement of some methods and choice of exception classes to replace the StingExceptions
and UserExceptions may need to be tweaked until everyone is happy, but this can be
done after the move.
-- Now each map job reads a value, performs map, and does as much reducing as possible. This ensures that we scale performance with the nct value, so -nct 2 should result in 2x performance, -nct 3 3x, etc. All of this is accomplished using exactly NCT% of the CPU of the machine.
-- Has the additional value of actually simplifying the code
-- Resolves a long-standing annoyance with the nano scheduler.
-- Don't just read all inputs into a list, and then provide an iterator to that list, actually make a real iterator so NanoScheduler input thread can contribute meaningfully to the work load
-- Use NanoScheduler progress function, instead of home-grown updater
-- Refactor calculation so that upfront constant values are pre-computed, and cached, and their values just looked up during application
-- Trivial comment on how we might use BAQ better in BaseRecalibrator
-- Cleaned up code in updateDataForRead so that constant values where not computed in inner loops
-- BaseRecalibrator doesn't create it's own fasta index reader, it just piggy backs on the GATK one
-- ReadCovariates <init> now uses a thread local cache for it's int[][][] keys member variable. This stops us from recreating an expensive array over and over. In order to make this really work had to update recordValues in ContextCovariate so it writes 0s over base values its skipping because of low quality base clipping. Previously the values in the ReadCovariates keys were 0 because they were never modified by ContextCovariates. Now these values are actually zero'd out explicitly by the covariates.
-- No longer computes at each update the overall read group table. Now computes this derived table only at the end of the computation, using the ByQual table as input. Reduces BQSR runtime by 1/3 in my test
The indels are still annotated as before, but now all other variant types are annotated too.
I'm doing this because of requests on the forum but am not making it standard. If we find it to be useful we can turn it on by default later.
