Fixes the hashequivalence server to resolve the diverging report race
error. This error occurs when the same task(hash) is run simultaneous on
two different builders, and then the results are reported back but the
hashes diverge (e.g. have different outhashes), and one outhash is
equivalent to a hash and another is not. If taskhash was not originally
in the database, the client will fallback to using the taskhash as the
suggested unihash and the server will see reports come in like:
taskhash: A
unihash: A
outhash: B
taskhash: C
unihash: C
outhash: B
taskhash: C
unihash: C
outhash: D
Note that the second and third reports are the same taskhash, with
diverging outhashes.
Taskhash C should be equivalent to taskhash (and unihash) A because they
share an outhash B, but the server would not do this when tasks were
reported in the order shown.
It became clear while trying to fix this that single large table to
store all reported hashes was going to make these updates difficult
since updating the unihash of all entries would be complex and time
consuming. Instead, it makes more sense to split apart the database into
two tables: One that maps taskhashes to unihashes and one that maps
outhashes to taskhashes. This should hopefully improve the parsing query
times as well since they only care about the taskhashes to unihashes
table, at the cost of more complex INNER JOIN queries on the lesser used
API.
Note this change does delete existing hash equivlance data and starts a
new database table rather than converting existing data.

Bitbake
BitBake is a generic task execution engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run efficiently and in parallel while working within complex inter-task dependency constraints. One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core and builds embedded Linux software stacks using a task-oriented approach.
For information about Bitbake, see the OpenEmbedded website: https://www.openembedded.org/
Bitbake plain documentation can be found under the doc directory or its integrated html version at the Yocto Project website: https://docs.yoctoproject.org
Contributing
Please refer to https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded for guidelines on how to submit patches, just note that the latter documentation is intended for OpenEmbedded (and its core) not bitbake patches (bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org) but in general main guidelines apply. Once the commit(s) have been created, the way to send the patch is through git-send-email. For example, to send the last commit (HEAD) on current branch, type:
git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org

Testing:
Bitbake has a testsuite located in lib/bb/tests/ whichs aim to try and prevent regressions. You can run this with "bitbake-selftest". In particular the fetcher is well covered since it has so many corner cases. The datastore has many tests too. Testing with the testsuite is recommended before submitting patches, particularly to the fetcher and datastore. We also appreciate new test cases and may require them for more obscure issues.
