Thanks makes sense!
I think Abhishek might also have a backwards incompatible change coming soon, so it might be worth waiting for his patch and releasing them together.

Should we anticipate issues from storing an object as an attribute rather than a string? Is there precedent for this?

There was precedent for it until it was removed in https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D193079 😆
I admit it's a bit weird. Maybe we can just store the primary dependency label, and look it up by that instead, come to think of it?

Yes, that works, and is much less weird and memory consuming! It arguably makes this a non-breaking change now, too? (I guess there's other ways that primary-kind-dependency might be set other than from_deps though...)

I am not working on the duplicate dependency patch currently so it would fine to land this |

…f a task Storing this on `from_deps` tasks allows us to avoid iterating over potentially all the task dependencies when finding it later, which can add up to a lot of time in larger graphs.

Do you want another look at this, @ahal ? |
I'll take silence as a no! If there's anything you'd like followed-up on, I can do so after the fact. |

Storing this on
from_depstasks allows us to avoid iterating over potentially all the task dependencies when finding it later, which can add up to a lot of time in larger graphs.In a profile I ran for gecko taskgraph,
get_dependencies(viaget_primary_dependency) was the second hottest function. With this patch it moves down to 10th place, and takes 1/4 of the amount of time it used to.
