Note to the future: run this command to validate configs before deploying:
puppet parser validate servers/puppet/modules/*/manifests/*.pp
Maybe we want to add this to check-all...

Nginx's fastcgi buffers default to 8 pages (32KB). I've bumped it to 4MB,
as queries like get_old_messages take something like 130KB, and was
being ferried off to disk. In case this change to the buffers parameters isn't
enough, we explicitly set the maximum temporary file size to 0; if the fastcgi
request goes over the buffers allocated, the request will be handled synchronously,
and never go out to disk on nginx's fastcgi requests.
The manual step that must be done is to apply changes to /etc/nginx/humbug-include/app
from servers/puppet/modules/humbug/files/nginx/humbug-include/app.
The nginx process can be reloaded with `/etc/init.d/nginx restart`.
This must be done for both staging and prod.

This directory is needed for the event_queues.pickle file
that gets created as part of dumping the tornado queues.

We let supervisor create the socket for us by making humbug-django a
fcig-program. Unfortunately, supevisor doesn't support putting
fcgi-programs in groups (see
https://github.com/Supervisor/supervisor/issues/148), so we have to
restart tornado and django separately.
To deploy, copy the config files over and restart nginx and
supervisor (via stopping and then starting it because restart is
broken). I believe the automated restart as part of
update-deployment will fail because of the way supervisor treats
programs in groups. If so, after restarting supervisor, you will
also need to run restart-server manually to fill the caches and then
delete the lock directory in humbug-deployments.

The amount of process downtime during a supervisord-mediated restart
appears to be linear in the number of processes that are being
restarted. Therefore, restarting just Django and Tornado causes less
downtime than doing them at the same time as the other worker
processes.

This change will make it so that processes related to the app.humbughq.com
server are run under supervisord, which uses a state machine model to ensure
that programs are running. It also ensure process startup order.
We will need to manually switch the old way of running server (in screen) into
this new way of doing things, on both staging and prod (app_frontend.pp has been
updated appropriately). This means:
1) cp servers/puppet/modules/humbug/files/supervisord/conf.d/humbug.conf /etc/supervisord/conf.d
2) installing the supervisor package.
3) killing those while loops in that screen session
4) mkdir /var/log/humbug (as root)
5) /etc/init.d/supervisord start
6) check that nothing broke

Text search was not that great partially because Postgres wasn't
using a ispell dictionary (Postgres term) before. We now pull in
Hunspell and use its dictionary and affix rules.
It is Ok to run with this new configuration before updating our full
text column and index that will be coming in the next few commits.
Manual steps for deploy:
1) On both postgres0 and postgres1 (both before moving on to step 2),
install the hunspell-en-us package
2) On staging, run migration 0022
3) On both postgres0 and postgres1, copy the appropriate postgresql.conf
file over
4) On both postgres0 and postgres1, run `pg_ctlcluster 9.1 main reload`

This requires manual steps on deploy to each of staging and prod:
(1) Run the new update-deployment code to setup the initial deployment directory.
(2) Restart all the programs running in screen sessions.
(3) Deploy the nginx changes and restart nginx.

I've already installed these packages on staging, and will install them on prod
when the commit hits master. So there is no manual prod deployment step here.

Because we're storing 25,000+ message content objects in memcached on
server restart, we were sometimes exceeding the 64MB cap even during
the restart process. 256MB should be safely large enough to not have
the issue but not so large as to seriously consume resources on our
app frontends (which currently have 7GB of RAM).

The name of the archive directory doesn't actually matter, but this

This code adds a dependency on python-django-auth-openid, installable as
django-openid-auth from PyPI.
On prod, one needs to run a syncdb in order to create the required
tables. A database *migration* is not required, as these are new tables
only.

The defaults are quite large for a small site like ours where on
