Read a record's name in ProgressLogger only for a line that prints it by tfenne · Pull Request #1957 · samtools/htsjdk

tfenne · 2026-10-30T02:50:32Z

ProgressLogger.record(SAMRecord) now reads a record's name only for a log line that prints it.

It read every record's name, though a line includes the last name only once more than 1,000 records have gone backwards in position. For a record read from BAM that decoded the name and kept the String on the record.
The logger now keeps the last record and asks for its name when a line needs it. record(String, int, String) behaves as before.
Not benchmarked: it saves one name decode per record, off the codec path.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Performance
- Progress messages now retrieve a record’s name only when the message is printed, avoiding unnecessary name decoding during routine logging.
- When positions go backwards repeatedly, the resulting progress message continues to include the most recently recorded name.

record(SAMRecord) read the name of every record it was given, though a log line prints the last name only once more than 1,000 records have gone backwards in position. For a record read from BAM that decoded the name from its bytes and kept the decoded String on the record. The logger now keeps the last record and asks for its name when a line needs it.

Walkthrough

AbstractProgressLogger now defers reading a SAMRecord name until a progress message needs it. The change adds tests for deferred name access and backwards-position logging, plus a 6.0.1 changelog entry.

Changes: Progress name logging

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Deferred read-name resolution `src/main/java/htsjdk/samtools/util/AbstractProgressLogger.java`, `src/test/java/htsjdk/samtools/util/AbstractProgressLoggerTest.java`, `CHANGELOG.md`	The `SAMRecord` path retains the record and resolves its name only when logging requires it. `reset()` clears the retained record. Tests cover interval logging without name access and a backwards-position message containing the last record name. The changelog documents the performance change.

Priority: Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Refactor

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to ae788

ProgressLogger.record(SAMRecord) now skips any subclass override of the protected three-argument record method. That affects downstream code that customizes progress logging through that hook. Decide whether to accept this compatibility change or preserve the hook before merging.

protected three-argument record hook with the record’s read name while
preserving lazy read-name lookup for the default implementation; add a

Do not bypass the protected recording hook.

record(String, int, String) is still protected and non-final. The merge-base record(SAMRecord) called it with rec.getReadName(). The reviewed implementation calls a private four-argument method instead, so an external subclass override can no longer run for SAMRecord calls.

Calling the protected method with rec.getReadName() would restore compatibility but defeat lazy name lookup. Passing null would preserve laziness but change the override's argument. Add a compatibility design that preserves both behaviors, plus a regression test.
