We have historically cached two types of values
on a per-request basis inside of memory:
* linkifiers
* display recipients
Both of these caches were hand-written, and they
both actually cache values that are also in memcached,
so the per-request cache essentially only saves us
from a few memcached hits.
I think the linkifier per-request cache is a necessary
evil. It's an important part of message rendering, and
it's not super easy to structure the code to just get
a single value up front and pass it down the stack.
I'm not so sure we even need the display recipient
per-request cache any more, as we are generally pretty
smart now about hydrating recipient data in terms of
how the code is organized. But I haven't done thorough
research on that hypotheseis.
Fortunately, it's not rocket science to just write
a glorified memoize decorator and tie it into key
places in the code:
* middleware
* tests (e.g. asserting db counts)
* queue processors
That's what I did in this commit.
This commit definitely reduces the amount of code
to maintain. I think it also gets us closer to
possibly phasing out this whole technique, but that
effort is beyond the scope of this PR. We could
add some instrumentation to the decorator to see
how often we get a non-trivial number of saved
round trips to memcached.
Note that when we flush linkifiers, we just use
a big hammer and flush the entire per-request
cache for linkifiers, since there is only ever
one realm in the cache.
We want to phase out the use of get_display_recipient
for streams, and this is the last place that I
eliminate it. The next commit will eliminate the
dead code and make mypy types tighter.
This change will make push notifications slightly
slower in some situations, but we avoid all the
complexity of a cache, and this code tends to run
offline.
We could always make this code a bit more efficient
by being a little smarter about what data we fetch
up front. For example, get_apns_alert_title gets
called by a function that already has the stream
name. It's just a bit of a pain to refactor when
you have all the DM codepath mucked up with the
stream codepath.
There's no need for the complexity and extra round
trips to call get_display_recipient in a testing
context.
We also eliminate the unnecessary call to check_string.
This function is poorly named, but that's a sweep
for another day.
The get_display_recipient helper is a clumsy way to get
stream names, and it's not even representative of how
most of our code retrieves stream names.
The new helper also double-checks that the Stream
object has the correct recipient id.
We no longer have to reason about the 12 possible
ways of invoking get_narrow_url. We also avoid
double computation in a couple places.
Finally, we get stricter type checks by just inlining
the calls.
We don't need to call get_display_recipient for
non-stream messages.
I will rename display_recipient in the next commit;
if I were to combine the steps the diff would be too
hard to read.
This commit renames the keyword 'pm' to 'dm' in the
'pm_mention_email_disabled_user_ids' and
'pm_mention_push_disabled_user_ids' attributes of the
'RecipientInfoResult' dataclass.
'pm' and 'dm' are the acronyms for 'private message' and
'direct message' respectively.
It includes 'TODO/compatibility' code to support the old format
fields in the tornado queues during the Zulip server upgrades.
This commit renames the 'PRIVATE_MESSAGE' attribute of the
'NotificationTriggers' class to 'DIRECT_MESSAGE'.
Custom migration to update the existing value in the database.
It includes 'TODO/compatibility' code to support the old
notification trigger value 'private_message' in the
push notification queue during the Zulip server upgrades.
Earlier 'private_message' was one of the possible values for the
'trigger' property of the '[`POST /zulip-outgoing-webhook`]' response;
Update the docs to reflect the change in the above-mentioned trigger
value.
This commit adds 'TODO/compatibility' code to support the
old notification trigger values in the push notification queue
during the Zulip server upgrades.
In f4fa82e, we renamed the following notification triggers:
* 'wildcard_mentioned' to 'stream_wildcard_mentioned'
* 'followed_topic_wildcard_mentioned' to
'stream_wildcard_mentioned_in_followed_topic'.
This should have been added in f4fa82e.
This commit adds code to pass all the required arguments to
select_related call for Message objects such that only the
required related fields are fetched from the database.
Previously, we did not pass any arguments to select_related,
so all the directly and indirectly related fields were fetched
when many of them were actually not being used and made the
query unnecessarily complex.

We only need ID of the recipient and not the full object, so we
directly access ID using "stream.recipient_id" instead of using
the complete recipient object.
This commit removes get_huddle_recipient function and we now use
get_or_create_huddle in get_recipient_from_user_profiles.
As a result of this change, we do not fetch the recipient from
Huddle object but instead get it using the "id" and "recipient_id"
fields available from Huddle object like we do for a personal
message. This change allows us to not fetch recipient object
using select_related when querying the Huddle object.
We now fetch recipient object when querying "Huddle" object in
get_or_create_huddle_backend as this query is eventually used
to get the recipient object only in get_huddle_recipient.
This commit also updates the select_related call in the code to
populate Huddle objects in cache to pass "Recipient" as argument.
Previously no argument was passed to select_related and thus no
related objects were being fetched, with no non-null related fields
being present.
- Adds instructions block and relative link to Starred messages.
- Adds "Toggle starred messages counter" subheading.
- Adds "Searching for messages" as a related article.
The set of objects in the `users` object can be very large (in some
cases, literally every object in the database) and making them into a
giant `id in (...)` to handle the one tiny corner case which we never
use is silly.
Switch the `--users` codepath to returning a QuerySet as well, so it
can be composed. We pass a QuerySet into send_custom_email as well,
so it can ensure that the realm is `select_related` in as well, no
matter how the QuerySet was generated.
Substituting the rendered body via Jinja2 means that it cannot
perform any interpolation itself. While the string replacement is
hacky, it is the only solution which avoids running Jinja2 more than
once, and also allows the user-supplied content to have Jinja2
substitutions in it.
In this commit, we introduce a new option in the stream creation
UI - a 'Default stream for new users' checkbox. By default, the
checkbox is set to 'off' and is only visible to admins. This
allow admins to easily designate a stream as the default stream
for new users during stream creation.
Fixes#24048.
Adds a test for when a value for a user's custom profile field is
removed and not set to a new value. The omission of this event in
the tests was noted as a possibility in #22103, which updated the
API documentation for these events having `null` for the field
value.
When adding the test discovered that the events logic was not
deleting the field from the user object and instead setting it to
`None`, so fixes that logic as well. There was a similar bug fixed
in commit 96c61a1a41 for when custom profile fields are removed
from a realm.
When applying realm_user update events, some of the event fields
for the person object were being updated to the same value in a
loop. Unnests those calls from the loop over the existing fields
so that they are only updated once.
The original nesting was introduced in commit 649fccde6b and
was expanded in other additions to the logic for these events.
This commit adds code to pass stream traffic data using
the "stream_weekly_traffic" field in stream objects.
We already include the traffic data in Subscription objects,
but the traffic data does not depend on the user to stream
relationship and is stream-only information, so it's better
to include it in Stream objects. We may remove the traffic
data and other stream information fields for Subscription
objects in future.
This will help clients to correctly display the stream
traffic data in case where client receives a stream
creation event and no subscription event, for an already
existing stream which the user did not have access to before.
This commit changes the code to not use get_client_data
function and instead use `stream_to_dict` function to
get the stream data in a dictionary form. This is a
prep commit add stream traffic data to Stream objects.
This commit adds stream_to_dict method which is same as
Stream.to_dict method as of now. This is a prep commit
to include stream traffic data in stream objects.
I move the helper user_ids_to_users to the only
place that it's used, and then I simplify it to
do a direct database query.
These endpoints aren't hit often enough to justify
caching complexity, and for really large user groups,
hitting the cache can actually be counterproductive.
Particularly when you add new users to an existing
group, the bulk of the cost is sending out
notification messages to users.
The only change to the test is that I added an
assertion on the query count.
The cross-realm bots rarely change, and there are only
a few of them, so we just query them all at once and
put them in the cache.
Also, we put the dictionaries in the cache, instead of
the user objects, since there is nothing time-sensitive
about the dictionaries, and they are small. This saves
us a little time computing the avatar url and things
like that, not to mention marshalling costs.
This commit also fixes a theoretical bug where we would
have stale cache entries if somebody somehow modified
the cross-realm bots without bumping KEY_PREFIX.
Internally we no longer pre-fetch the realm objects for
the bots, but we don't get overly precise about picking
individual fields from UserProfile, since we rarely hit
the database and since we don't store raw ORM objects
in the cache.
The test diffs make it look like we are hitting the
cache an extra time, but the tests weren't counting
bulk fetches. Now we only use a single key for all
bots rather a key per bot.
The bulk_get_users() function was only being used to
get cross-realm bots.
It appears that it was introduced in
f02e5b90f6 for that
specific use case.
Now we make the function more specific and test it more
accurately.
We also eliminate a lot of janky code and comments,
including some code that never had test coverage.
Incidentally, it appears that we did not have any code
to invalidate the cache keys here, and that is still
the case. In practice I assume people rarely
re-configure their cross-realm bots unless they are
upgrading the server, and then KEY_PREFIX comes into
play. 25fd4c5508 seems
to have caused that hopefully harmless regression.
A further step will be to make this cache more coarse,
since there are only a few cross-realm bots. The next
commit will hopefully simplify the code and address the
validation pitfall.
Earlier the API endpoints related to user_group accepts and returns a
field `can_mention_group_id` which represents the ID
of user_group whose members can mention the group.
This commit renames this field to `can_mention_group`.
