-- allowMissingVCFHeaders is now part of -U argument. If you want specifically unsafe VCF processing you need -U LENIENT_VCF_PROCESSING. Updated lots of files to use this
-- LENIENT_VCF_PROCESSING disables on the fly VCF header cleanup. This is now implemented via a member variable, not a class variable, which I believe was changing the GATK behavior during integration tests, causing some files to fail that pass when run as a single test because the header reading behavior was changing depending on previous failures.
-- FastGenotypes are the default in the engine. Use --useSlowGenotypes engine argument to return to old representation
-- Cleanup of BCF2Codec. Good error handling. Added contracts and docs.
-- Added a few more contacts and docs to BCF2Decoder
-- Optimized encodePrimitive in BCF2Encoder
-- Removed genotype filter field exceptions
-- Docs and cleanup of BCF2GenotypeFieldDecoders
-- Deleted unused BCF2TestWalker
-- Docs and cleanup of BCF2Types
-- Faster version of decodeInts in VCFCodec
-- BCF2Writer
-- Support for writing a sites only file
-- Lots of TODOs for future optimizations
-- Removed lack of filter field support
-- No longer uses the alleleMap from VCFWriter, which was a Allele -> String, now uses Allele -> Integer which is faster and more natural
-- Lots of docs and contracts
-- Docs for GenotypeBuilder. More filter creation routines (unfiltered, for example)
-- More extensive tests in VariantContextTestProfiler, including variable length strings in genotypes and genotype filters. Better genotype comparisons
-- Created a new Genotype interface with a more limited set of operations
-- Old genotype object is now SlowGenotype. New genotype object is FastGenotype. They can be used interchangable
-- There's no way to create Genotypes directly any longer. You have to use GenotypeBuilder just like VariantContextBuilder
-- Modified lots and lots of code to use GenotypeBuilder
-- Added a temporary hidden argument to engine to use FastGenotype by default. Current default is SlowGenotype
-- Lots of bug fixes to BCF2 codec and encoder.
-- Feature additions
-- Now properly handles BCF2 -> BCF2 without decoding or encoding from scratch the BCF2 genotype bytes
-- Cleaned up semantics of subContextFromSamples. There's one function that either rederives or not the alleles from the subsetted genotypes
-- MASSIVE BUGFIX in SelectVariants. The code has been decoding genotypes always, even if you were not subsetting down samples. Fixed!
* Added parameter -qq to quantize qualities using a recalibration report
* Added options to quantize using the recalibration report quantization levels, new nLevels and no quantization.
* Updated BQSR scripts to make use of the new parameters
Turns out that someone previously upped the declared size of a ROD shard to 100M bases, making
each ROD shard larger than the size of chr20. Why didn't we see this in Stable? Because the
ShardStrategy/ShardStrategyFactory mechanism was dutifully ignoring the shard size specification.
When I rolled the ShardStrategy/ShardStrategyFactory mechanics back into the DataSources as part
of the async I/O project, I inadvertently reenabled this specifier.
Also includes convenience parameters for specifying the IO/CPU threading balance outside of a tag. Will be killed when
Queue gets better support for tagged arguments (hopefully soon).
-- For no apparent reason we were using a HashSet to store the ReadFilters, so the order of operations was really arbitrarily applied. The order now is
(1) the order of the walker intrinsic filters
(2) read group black list (if provided)
(3) command line filters (if provided)
-- the underlying data structure is still present, but until I decide what to do for the extensible system I've completely disabled the subsystem
-- Added code to merge Samples, so that a mostly full record can be merged with a consistent empty record. If the two records are inconsistent, an error is thrown
-- addSample() in Sample.class now invokes mergeSample() when appropriate
-- Validation types are now only STRICT or SILENT
-- Validation code implemented in SampleDBBuilder
-- Extensive unit tests for SampleDBBuilder
-- These could be simplied in their downstream uses
-- Or they could be replaced with a generic getSAMFileHeaders() function and then apply the getSamples(header) as desired downstream
-- A nearly identical piece of code already lived in SampleUtils. Now there are two functions, one taking a regular header and another grabbing the merged header from the GATK engine itself. Much cleaner
-- Previously, on the fly indices didn't have dictionary set on the fly, so the GATK would read, add dictionary, and rewrite the index. This is now fixed, so that the on the fly index contains the reference dictionary when first written, avoiding the unnecessary read and write
-- Added a GenomeAnalysisEngine and Walker function called getMasterSequenceDictionary() that fetches the reference sequence dictionary. This can be used conveniently everywhere, and is what's written into the Tribble index
-- Refactored tribble index utilities from RMDTrackBuilder into IndexDictionaryUtils
-- VCFWriter now requires the master sequence dictionary
-- Updated walkers that create VCFWriters to provide the master sequence dictionary
Removing unused files RODRecordIterator, ReferenceOrderedData, QueryableTrack, RMDTrackCreationException, GATKFeatureIterator, ReferenceOrderedDataUnitTest
Refactored dbSNP and refseq utilities to be closer to the other files implementing these features
