Fix interactions in RDF machinery with the DefinePerSample operation #13787
Conversation
Sample callbacks can be registered by an RAction or an RDefinePerSample instance. In both cases, the lifetime of the callback is tied to the lifetime of the object itself. Avoid eager clearing of the callbacks so to not interfer with the normal functioning.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks @vepadulano !
My only comment is that the tests seem to be too complicated compared to the root cause of the failure. The regression test for #12043, for example, could be simply:
bool flag = false;
auto df = ROOT::RDataFrame(1)
.DefinePerSample("x", [&](unsigned int, const ROOT::RDF::RSampleInfo &) { flag = true; return 0; });
df.Count().GetValue();
EXPECT_TRUE(flag);
flag = false;
df.Count().GetValue();
EXPECT_TRUE(flag);Simpler tests that go straight to the point are easier to debug when they break.
That's a good point yes. I will modify the reproducer for the linked issue. I prefer to keep the reproducer of the cloning issue because it's also mimicking the extra machinery involved in creating different tasks, changing the RDF spec and cloning the actions in a specific way |
This is a reproducer test for some sporadic CI failures, e.g.
```python

Which is due to Dask assigning two tasks to the same worker for the test with
the DefinePeSample calls. The Count operation would fail to report the correct
amount of entries due to the fact that the DefinePerSample callback was
previously deleted at the end of every event loop, specifically at the end of
the first task's event loop. Consequently, when the second task starts and it
picks up the same RDataFrame to clone the action, the DefinePerSample would
never be actually called.

This PR fixes #12043 . It should also address sporadic failures seen in our jenkins CI due to sometimes Dask assigning two tasks to the same worker process, thus the second task using the same DefinePerSample node of the first task and collapsing into the same situation as the linked issue.
The first commit contains the actual fix, then tests.
