New _maybe_compute_pair_distances_parallel helper. One extra dict lookup in _get_most_in_common_pairs_in_iterables before the existing serial _get_rough_distance_of_hashed_objs call. Tests: tests/test_multiprocessing.py (23 tests) — config validation, 10× serial-vs-parallel determinism on nested dicts/repeated items/ties/sets/exclude_paths/ignore_string_case/custom hasher, unpickleable-callback fallback, no-nested-pool guarantee. Full suite: 1149 passed, 10 skipped, 0 regressions. Pyright clean. Doc: docs/multi_processing.md now opens with an "Implementation Status" section listing what's in, the code locations, and what's deferred (subtickets #2/#4/#5/#6 extended matrix/#7) with the reasons each is held back. Two notable design points worth flagging: 1. Workers are spawned without _shared_parameters, so they think they're root and would purge _distance_cache/hashes mid-call. Fixed by passing cache_purge_level=0 to the worker DeepDiff (commented in _distance_worker). 2. Sanitization sets both multiprocessing=False and _mp_config=MPConfig(enabled=False, ...) because recursive DeepDiff with _parameters=... skips the constructor's normalization branch. --- deepdiff/_multiprocessing.py | 220 +++++++++++++++ deepdiff/diff.py | 70 +++++ docs/multi_processing.md | 486 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tests/test_multiprocessing.py | 205 ++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 981 insertions(+) create mode 100644 deepdiff/_multiprocessing.py create mode 100644 docs/multi_processing.md create mode 100644 tests/test_multiprocessing.py diff --git a/deepdiff/_multiprocessing.py b/deepdiff/_multiprocessing.py new file mode 100644 index 00000000..a011f781 --- /dev/null +++ b/deepdiff/_multiprocessing.py @@ -0,0 +1,220 @@ +""" +Internal multiprocessing helpers for DeepDiff. + +Phase 1 scope: parallelize the (added_hash x removed_hash) rough-distance loop +in ``DeepDiff._get_most_in_common_pairs_in_iterables`` for ``ignore_order=True``. + +Determinism contract (see docs/multi_processing.md): +- Pair selection happens in the parent only. +- Workers compute distances.

Defaults to + off, so existing users see no behavior change. +- The `(added_hash, removed_hash)` distance loop in + `_get_most_in_common_pairs_in_iterables` (the `ignore_order=True` hot path) is + optionally parallelized through `concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor`. + Workers compute distances only; pair selection runs in the parent in the same + serial nested-loop order, so worker completion order never reaches the + output. +- Safe by construction: pre-calculated distances and distance-cache hits are + filtered out in the parent before jobs are dispatched. Workers run with + `cache_purge_level=0` and a sanitized `_parameters` snapshot + (`multiprocessing=False`, `_mp_config` disabled, no shared mutable caches), + so they cannot fork-bomb or write back to parent state. +- Picklability of the parameters dict, the iterable compare func, and a + representative job is checked up front.

The doc says default thresholds shouldn't + change before benchmarks land; the current `DEFAULT_THRESHOLD = 64` is a + conservative placeholder. + +--- + +## Goal + +Add an opt-in internal multiprocessing mode that can speed up expensive deep hashing and diffing workloads while keeping the final DeepDiff/DeepHash outcome deterministic. + +The most important target is `DeepDiff(..., ignore_order=True)`, because that mode often spends the most time hashing iterable items, calculating candidate pair distances, and recursively diffing nested structures. + +The result of a multiprocessing run must be the same as a single-process run for supported inputs. Worker completion order must never affect reports, matching decisions, paths, or output ordering. + +## Non-Goals + +- Do not make the whole recursive engine concurrently mutate one `DeepDiff` instance. +- Do not share `self.tree`, `self.hashes`, `_distance_cache`, or `_stats` directly between worker processes. +- Do not make `max_diffs` and `max_passes` exact replicas of serial accounting. They are stop guards. It is acceptable for their counts to differ in multiprocessing mode as long as they still cap runaway work. +- Do not silently parallelize unsafe callables. If callbacks, custom operators, hashers, or compare functions cannot be safely pickled or executed in workers, fall back to serial behavior or disable only the unsafe parallel section. + +## Current Baseline + +DeepDiff is already safe to call from multiple separate processes as independent top-level calls.

A supported multiprocessing run must produce the same public DeepDiff result as the equivalent serial run. +2. Pair selection in `ignore_order=True` must be independent of worker completion order. +3. Result merge order must be based on serial traversal order, not `as_completed()` order. +4. Hash aggregation order must match existing semantics: + - dictionaries and unordered iterables still sort the hash components where the current implementation sorts them. + - ordered iterable hashing must preserve item index order when order matters. +5. Workers must not mutate parent process state. +6. Any worker exception must surface as a normal DeepDiff exception, not be swallowed or turned into partial output. +7. Multiprocessing mode must have a reliable serial fallback for unsupported or unsafe inputs. + +## Proposed API + +Add conservative, opt-in parameters to `DeepDiff` and possibly `DeepHash`. + +Suggested names: + +```python +DeepDiff( + t1, + t2, + multiprocessing=False, + multiprocessing_workers=None, + multiprocessing_threshold=None, +) +``` + +Open design choice: `multiprocessing` may also accept an integer worker count.

Parent code must merge by `job_index`. + +Do not use `as_completed()` order except to collect results into a temporary map. + +### Pairing in `ignore_order=True` + +The final pair-selection algorithm is part of the observable behavior. Keep it serial. + +Workers may compute distances, but the parent must insert distances into `most_in_common_pairs` in the same order the serial nested loops would have inserted them. This matters when distances tie. + +### Caches + +Avoid process-shared mutable caches in the first implementation. + +Accept that worker-local hashing/distance calculation may reduce cache reuse. A later optimization can add a deterministic parent-owned cache merge, but correctness should come first. + +If merging hash cache entries from workers: + +- merge in job index order. +- do not overwrite an existing parent entry with a different value. +- add tests for repeated equal-but-not-identical objects. + +### Pickling and Start Methods + +Use the standard library `concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor`. + +Do not assume Linux `fork` behavior. The implementation should work with `spawn`, especially for macOS and Windows users. + +This means worker functions must be module-level functions, not nested closures. + +### Thresholds + +Multiprocessing should only run when there is enough work to offset serialization and process overhead. + +Possible heuristics: + +- iterable length above a threshold. +- candidate distance pair count above a threshold. +- estimated nested item count from `DeepHash` count data. + +Start conservative. Add benchmarks before changing defaults. + +### Unsupported Inputs + +Fallback to serial for: + +- unpickleable objects. +- unpickleable callables. +- active custom operators unless explicitly tested. +- detected cycles until cycle behavior is proven equivalent. +- generator inputs, because multiprocessing may consume or pickle them differently. + +## Risks + +- **Non-deterministic pair choices**: if distance jobs are merged by completion order, tied distances can produce different pairings. Mitigation: stable job indices and serial parent pairing. +- **Different object identity after pickling**: cycle detection and identity-sensitive behavior may change in workers. Mitigation: fallback for cycles and tests for self-referential inputs. +- **Callback side effects**: callbacks and custom operators may depend on process-local state or mutate global state. Mitigation: fallback unless proven safe. +- **Result ordering drift**: `TreeResult` and `TextResult` depend on insertion order through `SetOrdered`. Mitigation: parent-only ordered merge. +- **Cache behavior drift**: multiprocessing changes cache locality and stats.
