Replaced unique_together with UniqueConstraint in models that
covered nullable fields as in unique_together database indexes
don't work where subgroup=None. So added conditional unique
index handling invalid duplicate Count data.
Added 0015_clear_duplicate_counts migration to handle existing
data that violates the constraints.
Also corrected a test case in test_counts.py which didn't clear its
state properly and thus was accidentally taking advantage of this
database schema bug.
This field wasn't used for anything, and I think it has very limited
use for debugging, since fundamentally, it'll almost always have a
value within the hour of the actual timestamp in FillState, and any
more fine-grained logging we might want would be available in the
analytics job's own logs.
The proximal reason to remove it is that apparently Django's
model_to_dict doesn't support auto_now fields, and that caused some
trouble when working on adding more complete import/export support for
analytics data.
Includes a database migration. The interval field was originally there to
facilitate time aggregation (e.g. aggregate_hour_to_day), but we now do such
aggregations in views code or in the frontend.
We were updating FillState with FillState.objects.filter(..).update(..),
which does not update the last_modified field (which has auto_now=True).
The correct incantation is the save() method of the actual FillState
object.
This is a major change to the analytics schema, and is the first step in a
number of refactorings and performance improvements. For instance, it allows
* Grouping sets of similar CountStats in the *Count tables. For instance,
active{_humans,_bots} will now have the same property, but have different
subgroup values.
* Combining queries that differ only in their value on 1 filter clause, so
that we make fewer passes through the zerver tables. For instance, instead
of running a query for each of messages_sent_to_public_streams and
messages_sent_to_private_streams, we can now run a single query with a
group by on Stream.invite_only, and store the group by value in the
subgroup column.
Change the CountStat object to take an is_gauge variable instead of a
smallest_interval variable. Previously, (smallest_interval, frequency)
could be any of (hour, hour), (hour, day), (hour, gauge), (day, hour),
(day, day), or (day, gauge).
The current change is equivalent to excluding (hour, day) and (day, hour)
from the list above.
This change, along with other recent changes, allows us to simplify how we
handle time intervals. This commit also removes the TimeInterval object.
Adds two simplifying assumptions to how we process analytics stats:
* Sets the atomic unit of work to: a stat processed at an hour boundary.
* For any given stat, only allows these atomic units of work to be processed
in chronological order.
Adds a table FillState that, for each stat, keeps track of the last unit of
work that was processed.
Previously we showed both the value and the id of the BaseCount record,
which is confusing in a typical case where you only care about the value,
and both the value and id are smallish ints.
This is primarily implemented through altering the migration file in
order to move the columns, but also we try to make the defaults a
little better for future tables inherited from BaseCount.
This is a first pass at building a framework for collecting various
stats about realms, users, streams, etc. Includes:
* New analytics tables for storing counts data
* Raw SQL queries for pulling data from zerver/models.py tables
* Aggregation functions for aggregating hourly stats into daily stats, and
aggregating user/stream level stats into realm level stats
* A management command for pulling the data
Note that counts.py was added to the linter exclude list due to errors
around %%s.
