Summary of Changes

Hello @praneetnadella, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces a robust mechanism for generating deterministic identifiers for Python class definitions, primarily by hashing their serialized form. It also enhances the internal class tracking system to safely handle recursive ID generation attempts and improves thread safety, ensuring more reliable and predictable behavior during class serialization.

Highlights

  • Deterministic Class ID Generation: A new function hash_dynamic_classdef has been added to generate a deterministic ID for class definitions by hashing their pickled representation using SHA256.
  • Recursive ID Generation Safety: The _get_or_create_tracker_id function now includes logic to detect and prevent infinite recursion during ID generation, raising a RuntimeError if detected.
  • Improved Thread Safety: The _DYNAMIC_CLASS_TRACKER_LOCK has been updated from threading.Lock to threading.RLock to prevent potential deadlocks in scenarios involving recursive locking.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a function for generating deterministic IDs for class definitions by hashing their pickled representation. The changes are well-implemented, including the use of threading.RLock to prevent deadlocks during recursive pickling and a sentinel value to detect and handle recursive ID generation for the same class. The error handling within _get_or_create_tracker_id is also robust, ensuring that the state is cleaned up on exceptions. I have a couple of suggestions for improvement regarding exception handling specificity and a small typo.

Using a bare except: can catch more exceptions than intended, such as SystemExit or KeyboardInterrupt, which can hide bugs or make it harder to stop the program. It's better to be more specific and catch Exception instead to avoid unintentionally swallowing system-level exceptions.

Suggested change
except:
_DYNAMIC_CLASS_TRACKER_BY_CLASS.pop(class_def, None)
raise

There's a typo in the variable name hexidgest; it should be hexdigest.

Additionally, this change removes the trailing newline from the file. According to PEP 8, files should end with a single newline. Please add one.

Suggested change
hexidgest = hashlib.sha256(
dumps(classdef, config=CloudPickleConfig(id_generator=None))).hexdigest()
return hexidgest
hexdigest = hashlib.sha256(
dumps(classdef, config=CloudPickleConfig(id_generator=None))).hexdigest()

LGTM, but @tvalentyn can you take a look (since it is part of the PR i am sending to official cloudpickle repo?)

  1. This is seemingly unused?

  2. Do we have to worry about (unlikely) hash collisions?

It will be used by flume runner. It is tested in the cloud pickle repo.

Conflicts would be bad, should we try to detect?

Although conflicts should result in unpickling ereor

Although the original uuid approach can also cause collision?

i'd worry if the errors are silenced.
Is detecting cheap? If so, that would help with a cleaner error message. Or if we believe this is really rare, we could add some comment in the codepath that will error-out.

  1. The goal is to make this available for use and not called yet as an alternative to id_generator within CPConfig.

  2. I feel like since we are using SHA-256 which is pretty collision-resistant, and because a single Beam pipeline will likely have a wide array of variability/complexity in class definitions, the odds are extremely low.
