Added a fairly coarse benchmark, comprised of the 2 most expensive operations usually done by core -- find all node dependencies, and reduce the graph. While not perfect, it provides some numbers to start with. |

Go question -- make is for "type slice, map, or chan (only)" https://golang.org/pkg/builtin/#make. Why is this okay to use the dag package's Set type here?

The underlying type of Set is map[interface{}]interface{}, so it is equivalent to calling Set(make(map[interface{}]interface{})). The same can be done with named slice and chan types (though the latter would be pretty unusual).

This allows iteration directly over the set, removing the need to allocate and copy a new slice for every iteration.
Since the set can be iterated over directly, we no longer need to copy the values into a new slice.
Make the default walks always use the sets directly, which avoids repeated copying of every set into a new slice.
Remove the abandoned graph debugger
Also removing unnecessary uses of the Set.List
There's no need for the json2dot command since we can't create json debug graphs.

I'm going to lock this issue because it has been closed for 30 days ⏳. This helps our maintainers find and focus on the active issues. If you have found a problem that seems similar to this, please open a new issue and complete the issue template so we can capture all the details necessary to investigate further. |

This removes a massive amount of unnecessary allocations from the graph operations. The graph is based on set data structures, and every time a set was iterated over (which is needed for most any graph operation) a new slice was allocated, and the set elements were copied into the slice.
The fundamental change here is making the
dag.Settype a simple map, so that it can be iterated over directly, and passed between functions without first converting it to a slice. This also allows us to continue to use the same basic graph data structures, without overhauling everything to a new interface that would be required for a more efficient or safer dag design.A rough benchmark from the CLI using a config with 400 dependent instances that takes 2m54s to build the apply graph before this change only takes 11s after the change with 1/2 the memory allocation (and much less pressure on GC).
