General updates | JW – Everyone was offline last week, should be back online starting today (though they’ll all need a day or two to sync back up) Will cut new QCSubmit and OFFTK soon
BW – I’ve got a draft PR (qcsubmit #286) with more caching stuff. Basically the caching in #284 just deals with caching of entire datasets. Records are cached in a different way, and we’d need to thread in cache options. (discussion) (general) It looks like the option that BW explored where QCSubmit provides a CachedPortalClient class is the best option. This will also let us make it the default_portal_client, so that users will get the benefit of caching by default but can turn it off if it’s not suitable. The big remaining question is how to test, but presumably something like the no_internet tests in #284 could be used here as well.
BW – Where would be a good place for this in the codebase? (general) – It’d be good in utils. BW – Good default cache dir name? (general) – ./qcsubmit_qcportal_cache
