"""Custom implementation of multiprocessing.Pool with custom pickler.
This module provides efficient ways of working with data stored in
shared memory with numpy.memmap arrays without inducing any memory
copy between the parent and child processes.
This module should not be imported if multiprocessing is not
available as it implements subclasses of multiprocessing Pool
that uses a custom alternative to SimpleQueue.

"""Process pool that shares large arrays to avoid memory copy.
This drop-in replacement for `multiprocessing.pool.Pool` makes
it possible to work efficiently with shared memory in a numpy
context.
Existing instances of numpy.memmap are preserved: the child
suprocesses will have access to the same shared memory in the
original mode except for the 'w+' mode that is automatically
transformed as 'r+' to avoid zeroing the original data upon
instantiation.
Furthermore large arrays from the parent process are automatically
dumped to a temporary folder on the filesystem such as child
processes to access their content via memmapping (file system
backed shared memory).
Note: it is important to call the terminate method to collect
the temporary folder used by the pool.
Parameters
----------
processes: int, optional
Number of worker processes running concurrently in the pool.
initializer: callable, optional
Callable executed on worker process creation.
initargs: tuple, optional
Arguments passed to the initializer callable.
temp_folder: str, optional
Folder to be used by the pool for memmapping large arrays
for sharing memory with worker processes. If None, this will try in
order:
- a folder pointed by the JOBLIB_TEMP_FOLDER environment variable,
- /dev/shm if the folder exists and is writable: this is a RAMdisk
filesystem available by default on modern Linux distributions,
- the default system temporary folder that can be overridden
with TMP, TMPDIR or TEMP environment variables, typically /tmp
under Unix operating systems.
max_nbytes int or None, optional, 1e6 by default
Threshold on the size of arrays passed to the workers that
triggers automated memory mapping in temp_folder.
Use None to disable memmapping of large arrays.
mmap_mode: {'r+', 'r', 'w+', 'c'}
Memmapping mode for numpy arrays passed to workers.
See 'max_nbytes' parameter documentation for more details.
forward_reducers: dictionary, optional
Reducers used to pickle objects passed from master to worker
processes: see below.
backward_reducers: dictionary, optional
Reducers used to pickle return values from workers back to the
master process.
verbose: int, optional
Make it possible to monitor how the communication of numpy arrays
with the subprocess is handled (pickling or memmapping)
prewarm: bool or str, optional, "auto" by default.
If True, force a read on newly memmapped array to make sure that OS
pre-cache it in memory. This can be useful to avoid concurrent disk
access when the same data array is passed to different worker
processes. If "auto" (by default), prewarm is set to True, unless the
Linux shared memory partition /dev/shm is available and used as temp
folder.
`forward_reducers` and `backward_reducers` are expected to be
dictionaries with key/values being `(type, callable)` pairs where
`callable` is a function that give an instance of `type` will return
a tuple `(constructor, tuple_of_objects)` to rebuild an instance out
of the pickled `tuple_of_objects` as would return a `__reduce__`
method. See the standard library documentation on pickling for more
details.
