Apparently I put these parens in the code as
part of 73c30774cb
during 2017.
It looks like I extracted is_public during
the middle of my change and forgot to remove
the unnecessary parens. (The code was correct,
but it makes it look like a tuple if you're
skimming it too quickly.)
That class is an artifact of when Stream
didn't have recipient_id. Now it's simpler
to deal with stream subscriptions.
We also save a query during page load (and
other places where we get subscriber
info).
As per https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1865837/ location.href
should be preferred to location.replace in some places due to the
fact that location.replace violates browser history and breaks back key.
Let the callers access stream.recipient as needed.
It costs the same, and some of the callers can
actually stop caring about the actual Recipient
object.
We already trust ids that are put on our queue
for deferred work. For example, see the code for
"mark_stream_messages_as_read_for_everyone"
We now pass stream_recipient_id when we queue
up work for do_mark_stream_messages_as_read.
This generally saves about 3 queries per
user when we unsubscribe them from a stream.
We get two speedups:
* The query to get existing subscribers only
gets the two fields we need. We no longer
need all the overhead of user_profile
and recipient data being returned in the
query.
* We avoid Django making extra hops to the
database to get user info.
Because the command is part of a pipe sequence, the exitcode defaults
to the last in the sequence, which is not the most important one here.
Set pipefail, which sets the exit status to the exit code of the last
program in the sequence to exit non-zero, or 0 if all succeeded. This
prevents the upgrade from barreling onward and setting
`postgres.version` improperly if the database upgrade step failed.
Use https://github.com/stripe/smokescreen to provide a server for an
outgoing proxy, run under supervisor. This will allow centralized
blocking of internal metadata IPs, localhost, and so forth, as well as
providing default request timeouts (10s by default).
Previously, the transaction.atomic() was not properly scoped to ensure
that RealmAuditLog entries were created in the same transaction,
making it possible for state changes to not be properly recorded in
RealmAuditLog.
When apps like mobile register for "streams", we
will now just use active streams as our baseline,
rather than "occupied" streams.
This means we will send a stream that is active,
even if it happens to have zero occupants. It's
actually pretty rare that a stream has zero occupants,
and it's not exactly clear that we want to exclude
a non-occupied but otherwise active stream from
our list of streams.
It also happens to be fairly expensive to compute
whether a stream is occupied.
This change only affects API clients (including
possibly our mobile app). The main webapp never
used the data from this codepath.
We replace get_peer_user_ids_for_stream_change
with two bulk functions to get peers and/or
subscribers.
Note that we have three codepaths that care about
peers:
subscribing existing users:
we need to tell peers about new subscribers
we need to tell subscribed user about old subscribers
unsubscribing existing users:
we only need to tell peers who unsubscribed
subscribing new user:
we only need to tell peers about the new user
(right now we generate send_event
calls to tell the new user about existing
subscribers, but this is a waste
of effort that we will fix soon)
The two bulk functions are this:
bulk_get_subscriber_peer_info
bulk_get_peers
They have some overlap in the implementation,
but there are some nuanced differences that are
described in the comments.
Looking up peers/subscribers in bulk leads to some
nice optimizations.
We will save some memchached traffic if you are
subscribing to multiple public streams.
We will save a query in the remove-subscriber
case if you are only dealing with private streams.
Installing an updated linux kernel package, as can happen during the
`apt dist-upgrade` done by the installer, can cause grub to pop up a
prompt to update its configuration file. In an unattended headless
configuration, this will stop the installation.
Explicitly configure apt to be non-interactive, and prefer the newest
configuration, during the install.
