While this functionality to post slow queries to a Zulip stream was
very useful in the early days of Zulip, when there were only a few
hundred accounts, it's long since been useless since (1) the total
request volume on larger Zulip servers run by Zulip developers, and
(2) other server operators don't want real-time notifications of slow
backend queries. The right structure for this is just a log file.
We get rid of the queue and replace it with a "zulip.slow_queries"
logger, which will still log to /var/log/zulip/slow_queries.log for
ease of access to this information and propagate to the other logging
handlers. Reducing the amount of queues is good for lowering zulip's
memory footprint and restart performance, since we run at least one
dedicated queue worker process for each one in most configurations.
Yes, it's slightly janky to create an
argparse.Namespace object like this, but it
saves us from shelling out to a script whose
only real value-add is parsing a single
`threshold_days` argument.
This saves about 130ms for a no-op provision.
Since in travis we don't have root access so we used to add different
srv path. As now we shifted our production suites to Circle CI
we don't need that code so removed it.
Also we used a hacky code in commit-lint-message for travis which is
now of no use.
Now that we've cleaned up this tool's output, there's no reason to use
an awkward mechanism to hide its output; we can just print it out like
a normal program.
Fixes#14644; resolves#14701.

I’m not sure why pycodestyle didn’t already flag these.

Since now we want to use production suites on Circle CI so there
is no need to set TRAVIS in env while running scripts.
CIRCLECI is set default in the enviroment of Circle CI builds
so we can use it directly.
Also Travis CI had rabbitmq-server installed so we had to add workaround
in install script to avoid the error. That workaround is removed.
We now have two functions related to digests
for processes:
is_digest_obsolete
write_digest_file
In most cases we now **wait** to write the
digest file until after we've successfully
run a process with its new inputs.
In one place, for database migrations, we
continue to write the digest optimistically.
We'll want to fix this, but it requires a
little more code cleanup.
Here is the typical sequence of events:
NEVER RUN -
is_digest_obsolete returns True
quickly (we don't compute a hash)
write_digest_file does a write (duh)
AFTER NO CHANGES -
is_digest_obsolete returns False
after reading one file for old
hash and multiple files to compute
hash
most callers skip write_digest_file
(no files are changed)
AFTER SOME CHANGES -
is_digest_obsolete returns False
after doing full checks
most callers call write_digest_file
*after* running a process
I remove `is_force` from `file_or_package_hash_updated`
and modernize its mypy annotations.
If `is_force` is `True`, we just now run the thing
we want to force-run without having to call
`file_or_package_hash_updated` to expensively
and riskily return `True`.
Another nice outcome of this change is that if
`file_or_package_hash_updated` returns `True`,
you can know that the file or package has
indeed been updated.
For the case of `build_pygments_data` we also
skip an `os.path.exists` check when `is_force`
is `True`.
We will short-circuit more logic in the next
few commits, as well as cleaning up some of
the long/wrapper lines in the `if` statements.
We stopped using tsearch-extras in Zulip 2.1.0 after Anders figured
out how to achieve its goals with native postgres. However, we never
did a `DROP EXTENSION` on systems thta had upgraded, which meant that
backups created on systems originally installed with Zulip 2.0.x and
older, and later upgraded to Zulip 2.1.x, could not be restored on
Zulip servers created with a fresh install of Zulip 2.1.x.
We can't do this with a normal database migration, because DROP
EXTENSION has to be done as the postgres user, so we add some custom
migration code in the upgrade-zulip-stage-2 tool.
It's safe to run this whenever tsearch_extras.control is installed because:
* Zulip is AFAIK the only software that ever used tsearch_extras.
* The package was only installed via puppet on production servers configured to
run a local Zulip database.
* We'll only run this code once per system, because it removes the
package and thus the control files.
Fixes#13612.

Used get_venv_dependencies function to return the correct dependencies
for RHEL, Centos, Fedora rather than importing them as separate
COMMON_YUM_DEPENDENCIES in provision and create-production-venv.
In virtualenv ≥ 20, the site_packages variable was removed from
activate_this.py. To avoid a KeyError, replace
activate_locals['site_packages'] with os.path.join(venv, 'lib',
python_version), where python_version is the 'pythonX.Y' name of the
directory where site-packages resides in the virtualenv.
Fixes#14025.
Added a get_venv_dependencies() function in setup_venv.py which
returns VENV_DEPENDENCIES according to the vendor and os_version.
The reason for adding this function was because python-dev will be
depreciated in Focal but can be used as python2-dev so when adding
support for Focal VENV_DEPENDENCIES should to be os_version dependent.
isort 5 knows not to reorder imports across function calls, so this
will stop isort from breaking our code.

This adds Ubuntu 19.10 as a valid provisioning target.
The release test in setup-apt-repo was changed from a list of values to
a regex check for brevity.
The “Smileys & People” category has been split into “Smilys & Emotion”
and “People & Body”.
Also, fix generate_sha1sum_emoji to read the emoji-datasource-google
version from yarn.lock, since package.json only gives a version range.

These docstrings hadn't been properly updated in years, and bad an
awkward mix of a bad version of the user-facing documentation and
details that are no longer true (e.g. references to "Voyager").
(One important detail is that we have real documentation for this
system now).
Zulip has had a small use of WebSockets (specifically, for the code
path of sending messages, via the webapp only) since ~2013. We
originally added this use of WebSockets in the hope that the latency
benefits of doing so would allow us to avoid implementing a markdown
local echo; they were not. Further, HTTP/2 may have eliminated the
latency difference we hoped to exploit by using WebSockets in any
case.
While we’d originally imagined using WebSockets for other endpoints,
there was never a good justification for moving more components to the
WebSockets system.
This WebSockets code path had a lot of downsides/complexity,
including:
* The messy hack involving constructing an emulated request object to
hook into doing Django requests.
* The `message_senders` queue processor system, which increases RAM
needs and must be provisioned independently from the rest of the
server).
* A duplicate check_send_receive_time Nagios test specific to
WebSockets.
* The requirement for users to have their firewalls/NATs allow
WebSocket connections, and a setting to disable them for networks
where WebSockets don’t work.
* Dependencies on the SockJS family of libraries, which has at times
been poorly maintained, and periodically throws random JavaScript
exceptions in our production environments without a deep enough
traceback to effectively investigate.
* A total of about 1600 lines of our code related to the feature.
* Increased load on the Tornado system, especially around a Zulip
server restart, and especially for large installations like
zulipchat.com, resulting in extra delay before messages can be sent
again.
As detailed in
https://github.com/zulip/zulip/pull/12862#issuecomment-536152397, it
appears that removing WebSockets moderately increases the time it
takes for the `send_message` API query to return from the server, but
does not significantly change the time between when a message is sent
and when it is received by clients. We don’t understand the reason
for that change (suggesting the possibility of a measurement error),
and even if it is a real change, we consider that potential small
latency regression to be acceptable.
If we later want WebSockets, we’ll likely want to just use Django
Channels.
