Description

This PR significantly reduces the overhead of retrieving celery compression task results by copying the trick we used for mitigating a similar problem on the search side in #1899; by checking result.ready() before calling result.get() we significantly reduce overhead in polling cycles where tasks are not yet complete, and by calling result.get() with a low interval argument we reduce the time that celery spends polling for the result inside of get() (compared to the default 0.5 second polling interval).

Based on some small-scale benchmarks on old xeon servers, this reduces the overhead of checking/retrieving task results from ~1 second when the result is not ready yet and ~1 second when the result is ready, to <1ms when the result is not yet ready and ~5ms when the result is ready.

This PR introduces some minor behaviour changes in CeleryTaskManager::ResultHandle::get_result to make it line up with the behaviour of try_getting_task_result in query_scheduler.py. Specifically, since we're now checking ready() before calling get(), we now treat a celery.exceptions.TimeoutError as an actual exception and re-raise it; previously we were effectively using that exception to check for result readiness, but now that we check ready() this exception indicates something is actually wrong with the system.

Checklist

  • The PR satisfies the contribution guidelines.
  • This is a breaking change and that has been indicated in the PR title, OR this isn't a
    breaking change.
  • Necessary docs have been updated, OR no docs need to be updated.

Validation performed

  • Added some ad-hoc instrumentation to validate that the overhead of polling for/retrieving results is significantly reduced by this change
  • Validated that package compression flow through the cli seems to still work as expected

Changes

Task result handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared result timeout contract
components/job-orchestration/.../task_manager/task_manager.py
Adds TASK_GET_RESULT_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_SECONDS with a 10-second value. ResultHandle.get_result uses this shared default.
Celery result polling and timeout handling
components/job-orchestration/.../task_manager/celery_task_manager.py
Adds a polling interval constant. get_result returns None when the group is not ready, passes the polling interval to Celery, and logs and re-raises TimeoutError.
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1d6de

The change reduces result-polling overhead, but readiness checks can consume part of the caller’s timeout while the subsequent retrieval still receives the full timeout, potentially allowing task-result retrieval to exceed its deadline. The PR should preserve the timeout budget or obtain explicit owner acceptance before merging.

- Around line 25-37: Add unit tests for
CeleryTaskManager.ResultHandle.get_result covering the not-ready path returning
None without calling GroupResult.get, the ready path passing the caller-supplied
timeout and TASK_GET_RESULT_INTERVAL_SECONDS to get and validating returned
results, and the celery.exceptions.TimeoutError path logging the exception and
re-raising it.
- Around line 28-33: Update the task-result retrieval flow around
_celery_result.ready() and _celery_result.get() to compute a single monotonic
deadline before readiness checks, pass only the remaining duration to get(), and
configure finite transport timeouts for backend state reads. Preserve the
existing None return when the result is not ready and ensure the caller’s
overall timeout is not exceeded.

In
`@components/job-orchestration/job_orchestration/scheduler/compress/task_manager/task_manager.py`:
- Around line 16-18: Update the docstring for get_result to document that it
returns None when the compression task group is not yet complete, while a list
represents completed results, including an empty list.
