-- Providing this optional argument -maxRuntime (in -maxRuntimeUnits units) causes the GATK to exit gracefully when the max. runtime has been exceeded. By cleanly I mean that the engine simply stops at the next available cycle in the walker as through the end of processing had been reached. This means that all output files are closed properly, etc.
-- Emits an info message that looks like "INFO 10:36:52,723 MicroScheduler - Aborting execution (cleanly) because the runtime has exceeded the requested maximum 10.0000 s". Otherwise there's currently no way to differentiate a truly completed run from a timelimit exceeded run, which may be a useful thing for a future update
-- Resolves GSA-630 / GATK max runtime to deal with bad LSA calling?
-- Added new JIRA entry for Ami to restart chr1 macarthur with this argument set to -maxRuntime 1 -maxRuntimeUnits DAYS to see if we can do all of chr1 in one weekend.
It's now possible to run with experimental downsampling enabled
using the --enable_experimental_downsampling engine argument.
This is scheduled to become the GATK-wide default next week after
diff engine output for failing tests has been examined.
-Only used when experimental downsampling is enabled
-Persists read iterators across shards, creating a new set only when we've exhausted
the current BAM file region(s). This prevents the engine from revisiting regions discarded
by the downsamplers / filters, as could happen in the old implementation.
-SAMDataSource no longer tracks low-level file positions in experimental mode. Can strip
out all related code when the engine fork is collapsed.
-Defensive implementation that assumes BAM file regions coming out of the BAM Schedule
can overlap; should be able to improve performance if we can prove they cannot possibly
overlap.
-Tests a bit on the extreme side (~8 minute runtime) for now; will scale these back
once confidence in the code is gained
-- Renamed TraversalErrorManager to the more general MultiThreadedErrorTracker
-- ErrorTracker is now used throughout the NanoScheduler. In order to properly handle errors, the work previously done by main thread (submit jobs, block on reduce) is now handled in a separate thread. The main thread simply wakes up peroidically and checks whether the reduce result is available or if an error has occurred, and handles each appropriately.
-- EngineFeaturesIntegrationTest checks that -nt and -nct properly throw errors in Walkers
-- Added NanoSchedulerUnitTest for input errors
-- ThreadEfficiencyMonitoring is now disabled by default, and can be enabled with a GATK command line option. This is because the monitoring doesn't differentiate between threads that are supposed to do work, and those that are supposed to wait, and therefore gives misleading results.
-- Build.xml no longer copies the unittest results verbosely
-- Previously these core progress metering functions were all in TraversalEngine, and available to subclasses like TraverseLoci via inheritance. The problem here is that the upcoming data threads x cpu threads parallelism requires one master copy of the progress metering shared among all traversals, but multiple instantiations of traverse engines themselves.
-- Because the progress metering code has horrible anyway, I've refactored and vastly cleaned up and simplified all of these capabilities into TraversalProgressMeter class. I've simplified down the classes it uses to work (STILL SOME TODOs in there) so that it doesn't reach into the core GATK engine all the time. It should be possible to write some nice tests for it now. By making it its own class, it can protect itself from multi-threaded access with a single synchronized printProgress function instead of carrying around multiple lock objects as before
-- Cleaned up the start up of the progress meter. It's now handled when the meter is created, so each micro scheduler doesn't have to deal with proper initialization timing any longer
-- Simplified and made clear the interface for shutting down the traversal engines. There's no a shutdown method in TraversalEngine that's called once by the MicroScheduler when the entire traversing in over. Nano traversals now properly shut down (was subtle bug I undercovered here). The printing of on traversal done metering is now handled by MicroScheduler
-- The MicroScheduler holds the single master copy of the progress meter, and doles it out to the TraversalEngines (currently 1 but in future commit there will be N).
-- Added a nice function to GenomeAnalysisEngine that returns the regions we will be processing, either the intervals requested or the whole genome. Useful for progress meter but also probably for other infrastructure as well
-- Remove a lot of the sh*ting Bean interface getting and setting in MicroScheduler that's no longer useful. The generic bean is just a shell interface with nothing in it.
-- By removing a lot of these bean accessors and setters many things are now final that used to be dynamic.
-Off by default; engine fork isolates new code paths from old code paths,
so no integration tests change yet
-Experimental implementation is currently BROKEN due to a serious issue
involving file spans. No one can/should use the experimental features
until I've patched this issue.
-There are temporarily two independent versions of LocusIteratorByState.
Anyone changing one version should port the change to the other (if possible),
and anyone adding unit tests for one version should add the same unit tests
for the other (again, if possible). This situation will hopefully be extremely
temporary, and last only until the experimental implementation is proven.
-- Closes GSA-515 Nanoscheduler GSA-542 Good interface to nanoScheduler
-- Old -nt means dataThreads
-- New -cnt (--num_cpu_threads_per_data_thread) gives you n cpu threads for each data thread in the system
-- Cleanup logic for handling data and cpu threading in HMS, LMS, and MS
-- GATKRunReport reports the total number of threads in use by the GATK, not just the nt value
-- Removed the io,cpu tags for nt. Stupid system if you ask me. Cleaned up the GenomeAnalysisEngine and ThreadAllocation handling to be totally straightforward now
-- Separate updating cumulative traversal metrics from printing progress. There's now an updateCumulativeMetrics function and a printProgress() that only takes a current position
-- printProgress now soles relies on the time since the last progress to decide if it will print or not. No longer uses the number of cycles, since this isn't reliable in the case of nano scheduling
-- GenomeAnalysisEngine now maintains a pointer to the master cumulative metrics. getCumulativeMetrics never returns null, which was handled in some parts of the code but not others.
-- Update all of the traversals to use the new updateCumulativeMetrics, printProgress model
-- Added progress callback to nano scheduler. Every bufferSize elements this callback is invoked, allowing us to smoothly update the progress meter in the NanoScheduler
-- Rename MapFunction to NanoSchedulerMap and the same for reduce.
-- These are like read filters but can be applied either on input, on output, of handled by the walker
-- Previous example of BAQ now uses the general framework
-- Resulted in massive conceptual cleanup of SAMDataSource and ReadProperties! Yeah!
-- BQSR now uses this framework. We can now do BQSR on input, on output, or within a walker
-- PrintReads now handles all read transformers in the walker in map, enabling us to parallelize PrintReads with BAQ and BQSR
-- Currently BQSR is excepting in parallel, which subsequent commit with fix
-- Removed global variable setting in GenomeAnalysisEngine for BAQ, as command line parameters are cleanly handled by ReadTransformer infrastructure
-- In principle ReadFilters are just a special kind of ReadTransformer, but this refactoring is larger than I can do. It's a JIRA entry
-- Many files touched simply due to the refactoring and renaming of classes
-- GATKRunReports contain itemized information about the numThreads used to execute the GATK, as well as the efficiency of the use of those threads to get real work done, including time spent running, waiting, blocking, and waiting for IO
-- See https://jira.broadinstitute.org/browse/GSA-506 for more details
-- Invert logic in GATKArgumentCollection to disable monitoring, not enable. That means monitoring is on by default
-- Fix testing error in unit tests
-- Rename variables in ThreadAllocation to be clearer
-- See https://jira.broadinstitute.org/browse/GSA-502
-- New command line argument -mt enables thread monitoring
-- If enabled, HMS uses StateMonitoringThreadFactory to create monitored threads, and prints out an efficiency report when HMS exits, telling the user information like:
for BQSR – known to be inefficient locking

-- Removed half-a*ssed attempt to automatically repair VCF files with bad headers, which allowed users to provide a replacement header overwriting the file's actually header on the fly. Not a good idea, really. Eric has promised to create a utility that walks through a VCF file and creates a meaningful header field based on the file's contents (if this ever becomes a priority)
Updated HSP to use new padding arguments instead of flank intervals file, plus latest QC evals.
IntervalUtils return unmodifiable lists so that utilities don't mutate the collections.
Added a JavaCommandLineFunction.javaGCThreads option to test reducing java's automatic GC thread allocation based on num cpus.
Added comma to list of characters to convert to underscores in GridEngine job names so that GE JSV doesn't choke on the -N values.
JobRunInfo handles the null done times when jobs crash with strange errors.
-- 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).
