Adds a re-usable lockfile_nonblocking helper to context_managers.
Relying on naive `os.mkdir` is not enough especially now that the
successful operation of this command is necessary for push notifications
to work for many servers.
We can't use `lockfile` context manager from
`zerver.lib.context_managers`, because we want the custom behavior of
failing if the lock can't be acquired, instead of waiting.
That's because if an instance of this gets stuck, we don't want to start
queueing up more processes waiting forever whenever the cronjob runs
again and fail->exit is preferrable instead.
Given that most of the use cases for realms-only code path would
really like to upload audit logs too, and the others would likely
produce a better user experience if they upoaded audit logs, we
should just have a single main code path here i.e.
'send_analytics_to_push_bouncer'.
We still only upload usage statistics according to documented
option, and only from the analytics cron job.
The error handling takes place in 'send_analytics_to_push_bouncer'
itself.
These metadata are essentially all publicily available anyway, and
making uploading them unconditional will simplify some things.
The documentation is not quite accurate in that it claims the server
will upload some metadata that is not actually uploaded yet (but will
by soon). This seems harmless.
This reduces the giant load spike at 5 minute past the hour, when all
remote servers currently attempt to submit their records.
We do not wish to slew over a full hour, because we want to ensure
that we do not hold the lock when the next hour's analytics runs. It
is also not necessary to have that much variation; 10 minutes is
picked as an arbitrary "long enough" time to spread requests over.
The former name is kind of misleading - this function is for the remote
server to send analytics to the push bouncer. Under our usual
terminology, a "remote server" is a self-hosted Zulip server. So data is
sent FROM not TO a remote server.
Fixes#2665.
Regenerated by tabbott with `lint --fix` after a rebase and change in
parameters.
Note from tabbott: In a few cases, this converts technical debt in the
form of unsorted imports into different technical debt in the form of
our largest files having very long, ugly import sequences at the
start. I expect this change will increase pressure for us to split
those files, which isn't a bad thing.

datetime.timezone is available in Python ≥ 3.2. This also lets us
remove a pytz dependency from the PostgreSQL scripts.

This is a preparatory commit for using isort for sorting all of our
imports, merging changes to files where we can easily review the
changes as something we're happy with.
These are also files with relatively little active development, which
means we don't expect much merge conflict risk from these changes.
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.
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.
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.
