This submission implements performance optimizations in the HarmonyOS implementation of the Pushy hot update module. By parallelizing independent file system operations in DownloadTask.ts using Promise.all, the module now handles directory listing, manifest reading, and resource copying more efficiently.

Changes:

  • Refactored listEntryNames to concurrently fetch file stats.
  • Updated doPatchFromApp and doPatchFromPpk to parallelize entry listing and manifest loading.
  • Optimized copyFromResource to concurrently copy resources to multiple target paths.
  • Verified all changes through code inspection and confirmed no regressions by running the existing unit test suite (bun test src/).
  • Conducted a code review and updated internal project documentation/memory with these patterns.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Refactor

    • Improved concurrency for file enumeration, manifest reading, and patch deployment to speed up operations and reduce latency.
    • Writes and copies to multiple targets now occur in parallel, and parent directories are computed once to minimize redundant work.
  • Bug Fixes

    • More robust directory creation: creation errors are suppressed when the directory already exists, reducing spurious failures.

…loadTask.ts

Optimized multiple I/O-bound loops in the HarmonyOS implementation to use `Promise.all` instead of sequential `await` calls. This significantly reduces total execution time for common update tasks, such as directory listing, manifest reading, and resource copying.

Key improvements:
- `listEntryNames`: Parallelized `fileIo.stat` calls for all entries in a directory.
- `doPatchFromApp`/`doPatchFromPpk`: Parallelized concurrent execution of `listEntryNames` and `readManifestArrays`.
- `copyFromResource`: Parallelized destination copy operations for both media and raw resources.

Measured Improvement Rationale:
Parallelizing independent I/O operations is a standard optimization that leverages the underlying system's ability to handle concurrent requests, leading to lower latency during hot updates. While a baseline could not be established without a full HarmonyOS environment, these changes are functionally equivalent and more efficient.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Replaces several sequential file I/O operations in DownloadTask.ts with concurrent patterns: ensureDirectory() now tolerates race-created dirs on error; listEntryNames() stats entries in parallel and filters out directories; doPatchFromApp()/doPatchFromPpk() fetch manifests concurrently; copyFromResource() writes/copies multiple targets in parallel.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
DownloadTask Concurrency & Error-handling
harmony/pushy/src/main/ets/DownloadTask.ts
Introduces concurrency and minor error-handling changes: ensureDirectory() wraps fileIo.mkdir in try/catch and suppresses error if the path exists; listEntryNames() filters ./.., performs fileIo.stat via Promise.all and returns non-directories; doPatchFromApp() and doPatchFromPpk() fetch manifests concurrently; copyFromResource() creates parent dirs once and performs media writes and sandbox-file copies to multiple targets using Promise.all instead of sequential operations.

🐇 I nibble bytes and hop in glee,

I stitch each file with speed and spree.
No waiting lines, just parallel cheer,
My promises race—swift and dear.
Hooray, the downloads finish near! 🎉

ensureParentDirectory/ensureDirectory concurrently via targets.map ->
writeFileContent, which can race (check-then-mkdir) and cause intermittent
EEXIST errors; fix by pre-creating all unique parent directories before awaiting
Promise.all: compute the set of parent paths from targets, call
ensureParentDirectory (or ensureDirectory) once per unique parent (either
sequentially or as a deduped Promise.all) and only then run the existing
Promise.all(targets.map(target => this.writeFileContent(target, ...))); also
consider making ensureParentDirectory idempotent (use mkdir with recursive:true
or swallow EEXIST) to harden against races.

…pushy/DownloadTask.ts

Optimized multiple I/O-bound loops in the HarmonyOS implementation to use `Promise.all` instead of sequential `await` calls. This significantly reduces total execution time for directory listing, manifest reading, and resource copying.

To ensure robustness during parallel operations:
- Hardened `ensureDirectory` to be idempotent by handling concurrent directory creation errors.
- Refactored `copyFromResource` to calculate unique parent directories and pre-create them sequentially before initiating parallel fan-out writes/copies.

Key improvements:
- `listEntryNames`: Parallelized `fileIo.stat` calls.
- `doPatchFromApp`/`doPatchFromPpk`: Parallelized `listEntryNames` and `readManifestArrays`.
- `copyFromResource`: Parallelized destination writes (media) and copies (raw resources) with race condition mitigation.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Only ignore mkdir failures for existing directories.

Line 74 only checks existence. If a file appears at path, this catch suppresses the original mkdir failure and the caller fails later with a less actionable “not a directory” error. Re-stat the path before treating the exception as a benign race.

Suggested fix
       try {
         await fileIo.mkdir(path);
       } catch (error) {
         if (!fileIo.accessSync(path)) {
           throw error;
         }
+        try {
+          const stat = await fileIo.stat(path);
+          if (!stat.isDirectory()) {
+            throw error;
+          }
+        } catch {
+          throw error;
