OPTIM: patterns: cache the current generation
This makes a significant difference when loading large files and during
commit and clear operations, thanks to improved cache locality. In the
measurements below, master refers to the code before any of the changes
to the patterns code, not the code before this one commit.

Timing the replacement of 10M entries from the CLI with this command
which also reports timestamps at start, end of upload and end of clear:

  $ (echo "prompt i"; echo "show activity"; echo "prepare acl #0";
     awk '{print "add acl @1 #0",$0}' < bad-ip.map; echo "show activity";
     echo "commit acl @1 #0"; echo "clear acl @0 #0";echo "show activity") |
    socat -t 10 - /tmp/sock1 | grep ^uptim

master, on a 3.7 GHz EPYC, 3 samples:

  uptime_now: 6.087030
  uptime_now: 25.981777  => 21.9 sec insertion time
  uptime_now: 29.286368  => 3.3 sec commit+clear

  uptime_now: 5.748087
  uptime_now: 25.740675  => 20.0s insertion time
  uptime_now: 29.039023  => 3.3 s commit+clear

  uptime_now: 7.065362
  uptime_now: 26.769596  => 19.7s insertion time
  uptime_now: 30.065044  => 3.3s commit+clear

And after this commit:

  uptime_now: 6.119215
  uptime_now: 25.023019  => 18.9 sec insertion time
  uptime_now: 27.155503  => 2.1 sec commit+clear

  uptime_now: 5.675931

Now timing the startup time with a 10M entries file (on another machine)
on master, 20 samples:

HAProxy logo

HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable reverse-proxy offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications.

Installation

The INSTALL file describes how to build HAProxy. A list of packages is also available on the wiki.

Getting help

The discourse and the mailing-list are available for questions or configuration assistance. You can also use the slack or IRC channel. Please don't use the issue tracker for these.

The issue tracker is only for bug reports or feature requests.

Documentation

The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. It is available in text format as well as HTML. The wiki is also meant to replace the old architecture guide.

Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for:

  • INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy
  • BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use
  • LICENSE for the project's license
