PersistenceContextVars

class lsst.daf.butler.PersistenceContextVars

Bases: object

Helper class for deserializing butler data structures.

When serializing various butler data structures nested dataset types get serialized independently. This means what were multiple references to the same object in memory are all duplicated in the serialization process.

Upon deserialization multiple independent data structures are created to represent the same logical bit of data.

This class can be used to remove this duplication by caching objects as they are created and returning a reference to that object. This is done in concert with direct and from_simple methods on the various butler dataset structures.

This class utilizes class level variables as a form of global state. Each of the various data structures can look to see if these global caches has been initialized as a cache (a dictionary) or is in the default None state.

Users of this class are intended to create an instance, and then call the run method, supplying a callable function, and passing any required arguments. The run method then creates a specific execution context, initializing the caches, and then runs the supplied function. Upon completion of the function call, the caches are cleared and returned to the default state.

This process is thread safe.
