This repo contains some scripts and configs to help do autotuning for a target system (e.g., MySQL).
To do so, it makes use of the MLOS project.
We generally expect most of the development for autotuning different target systems to happen in their own repository and just use the MLOS project as a dependency.
However, on occasion it's necessary to make changes to MLOS itself to support a new target system's features.
The layout in this repo is intended to help with that.
To begin, we reuse the devcontainer published from the MLOS repo.
Next, we add a copy of the MLOS repo itself to this one during the devcontainer startup and make sure it is pip (editable) installed.
MLOS is not yet in pypi, so this is another part of why we currently do it this way.
In general, the workflow for using this repo is listed in the README.md in the root of the directory and simply involves opening this repo in VSCode and then reopening it in a devcontainer when prompted.
All development for the target system should happen in the config/ directory.
To develop on MLOS locally, you need to adjust the default MLOS clone to include your remote fork and checkout a different branch of it.
# Move into the MLOS repo cloned directory:
cd MLOS
# Add your fork as a remote:
git remote add <username> [email protected]:<username>/MLOS.git
git remote fetch
# Create a new branch:
git checkout -b <branch> main
git push -u <username> <branch>
