⚡ Bolt: Parallelize rule batch uploads in main.py by google-labs-jules[bot] · Pull Request #73 · abhimehro/ctrld-sync

google-labs-jules · 2026-01-05T14:42:50Z

💡 What:
Refactored push_rules in main.py to upload rule batches concurrently using ThreadPoolExecutor instead of sequentially.
Increased max_workers in get_all_existing_rules from 5 to 10.

🎯 Why:
Large blocklists can have thousands of rules, resulting in hundreds of sequential HTTP POST requests. Parallelizing this significantly reduces the total sync time.

📊 Impact:

Reduces rule upload time by ~5x (with 5 workers).
Speeds up initial rule fetching.

🔬 Measurement:
Run uv run --python 3.13 python -m unittest tests/test_performance.py to see the benchmark comparison.
(Sequential: ~1.0s vs Parallel: ~0.2s for 10 batches with 0.1s latency).

The test name test_push_rules_correctness_with_lock and its print output "Sequential Baseline (Lock)" are misleading. With the parallelization changes, this test now exercises the parallel code path (with a lock), not sequential execution. Consider renaming this test to something like test_push_rules_parallel_with_lock and updating the print message to reflect that it's testing parallel execution with thread-safety.

+            self.client
+        )


The test test_push_rules_concurrency doesn't verify thread-safety. Without passing an existing_rules_lock, the test relies on the fact that set.update() happens to be atomic in CPython for simple cases, but this is an implementation detail. Consider adding a test case that explicitly passes a lock (like the first test does) but with simulated latency to verify that thread-safety works correctly under concurrent load, or alternatively test the no-lock scenario with assertions that verify the set is properly updated despite potential race conditions.

The performance tests only verify successful execution paths. Consider adding a test case that verifies behavior when some batches fail (e.g., by making some mock_post calls raise HTTPError). This would ensure that the parallel error handling works correctly and that partial failures are properly reported with the correct successful_batches count.

+        }
+
+        for future in concurrent.futures.as_completed(futures):
+            if future.result():


The call to future.result() can raise exceptions if the thread execution encounters an unexpected error beyond the handled HTTPError. If an exception occurs in _push_batch that's not caught (e.g., a programming error), it will propagate here and crash the entire upload process. Consider wrapping future.result() in a try-except block to handle unexpected exceptions and log them appropriately, ensuring other batches can continue processing.

Suggested change

if future.result():

batch_idx = futures[future]

try:

result = future.result()

log.error(

"Unexpected error while processing batch %d for folder %s: %s",

        return True

-    successful_batches = 0
    total_batches = len(range(0, len(filtered_hostnames), BATCH_SIZE))


The calculation len(range(0, len(filtered_hostnames), BATCH_SIZE)) is inefficient and can be simplified. Consider using integer division with ceiling: (len(filtered_hostnames) + BATCH_SIZE - 1) // BATCH_SIZE or import math; math.ceil(len(filtered_hostnames) / BATCH_SIZE). This avoids creating an unnecessary range object just to count it.

Suggested change

total_batches = len(range(0, len(filtered_hostnames), BATCH_SIZE))

total_batches = (len(filtered_hostnames) + BATCH_SIZE - 1) // BATCH_SIZE
