How long does populating step take?

Hello team,

For many of the database preparation steps, things are not clear:

2024-05-03 05:18:56,565 - Populating the description db, this may take some time

What is it may take some time? A day is some time, a week is also some time. I would be more useful when using numbers. By the way, why do you use python to do the database population step, sqlite is in C++, which could be much faster than a python API, especially when we have such large database.

Thanks,

Jianshu

It has been 30+ hours now, still no idea when it will finish. Another solution will be providing and pre-built database, which is much more convenient than building it from scratch. No idea why this option is not available.
