I don't really understand why and how often this comes up, but I think the duplication should be eliminated. 3) language+recovery: haven't looked into what the recovery context does. > we will store and log only the last CCContext What's the concern about storing only the last context? > I'd argue we should aim to either provide a single-callback completion or > rewrite the whole code around completion to properly handle multiple > callbacks ( I'm not sure how we could (fully) get away with one callback without significantly changing sema parsing. This seems to be an expensive approach though. >with deduplication and proper merging of the results coming from multiple >callbacks I agree. My impression is that multiple callbacks are not common and thus not as important (duplicates are better than no results IMO). But I might be wrong thinking this is uncommon. I was going to do this in a followup patch to avoid a big patch, but I'm happy to do the deduplication in the same patch if you prefer. > proper logging Could you point out what logging is missing? > no multiple identical requests to the index For context combinations I've seen (natural language + name, natural language + recovery), index is still queries once. If sema does decide to call name multiple times with context that would potentially yield two index queries, we could still need to query indexes twice (don't see a big problems doing this if not a common case). For identical context that is called multiple times, we could cache potentially results. > I would suggest the following measures as a hacky intermediate solution: I think natural language is only one of the contexts that could result in multiple callbacks, so I don't think this would fully resolve our problems.
