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.
Was enabled by commit 41e8ee3 where we moved TIME_ZERO to before the realms
created by populate_db.py.
Also removes the stub for TestAggregates, since the remaining thing to be
tested was the aggregation from RealmCount to InstallationCount, and the end
to end checks provided by the TestCountStat tests should be sufficient.
In a previous design, there was no FillState table, and one could run any
CountStat at any time. This is no longer supported.
This test was making sure that if one ran a CountStat at a certain hour, and
then ran it at a previous hour, the old rows would still be there.
It seems unlikely we will need count_message_by_stream without the
UserProfile table in the future, so write count_message_by_stream_and_is_bot
in the usual query form and replace count_message_by_stream with it.
This also has the benefit of shortening our list of "special case" queries
from two to one.
The pathways of the removed test will be covered more thoroughly in the new
TestCountStats tests.
We alter the behavior of our queries to no longer write rows with 0 counts
to the db, and pad with 0s in the related views code. As a result we are
also able to combine the where and join clause conditions in the sql
queries. This new behavior is also updated in our tests.
Adds a database migration, adds a new string_id argument to the management
realm creation command, and adds a short name field to the web realm
creation form when REALMS_HAVE_SUBDOMAINS is False.
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.
Adding FillState, removing do_aggregate_hour_to_day, and disallowing unused
(interval, frequency) pairs removes the need for the nested for loops in
do_fill_count_stat_at_hour. This commit replaces that control flow with a
simpler equivalent.
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, if a Realm had no users (or no streams),
do_aggregate_to_summary_table would fail to add a row with value 0. This
commit fixes the issue and also simplifies the do_aggregate_to_summary_table
logic.
Refactor the current analytics tests into the following classes:
* TestUpdateAnalyticsCounts, which will eventually test the management
command, backfilling, what happens when new tests are added, etc.
* TestProcessCountStat, which tests the ins and outs of propagating the
value of a single stat up through the various *Count tables.
* TestAggregates, which tests the do_aggregate_* methods.
* TestXByYQueries, which tests the count_X_by_Y_query SQL snippets.
* TestCountStats, which has tests for individual CountStats.
This commit does not change the name or contents of any individual test.
Many tests are structured to run some process, and then check a count in a
BaseCount record using default values for realm, property, interval, and
end_time. This commit adds a new assertCountEquals method to
AnalyticsTestCase, and simplifies other assert calls as appropriate.
Add a default_realm object to AnalyticsTestCase, created 2 days before
AnalyticsTestCase.TIME_ZERO.
Add lightweight create_user, create_stream, and create_message methods to
AnalyticsTestCase, with sensible defaults. In particular, all objects are by
default created at AnalyticsTestCase.TIME_LAST_HOUR, so that they are
included when running AnalyticsTestCase.process_last_hour.
Previously, analytics tests used timezone.now or custom datetime objects
when creating new realms, users, and streams.
This commit adds a fixed TIME_ZERO and a process_last_hour helper function
in a new AnalyticsTestCase class, and modifies the existing tests to use
them.
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.
