This commit makes get_recipient_info() faster by never creating
Django ORM objects. We use the ORM to create a values query
instead, and then we iterate over the rows to create various
collections of ids.
In order to avoid lots of code duplication, this commit unifies
how we query UserProfile for PMs and streams. Prior to this
commit we were getting "wide" UserProfile objects out of
our memcached cache. Now we just go to the database with our
list of userids. The new approach at worst adds one hop to the
database for PMs, which aren't really a performance bottleneck
(compared to streams). And the new approach actually saves a
hop when both partners aren't in cache (plus we don't pay the
penalty of hitting the cache itself).
The performance improvement here is easy to measure for messages
to streams with many users, even with all the other activity
that goes on inside do_send_messages(). I took test_performance()
in test_messages.py, set num_extra_users to 3000, and consistently
measured a ~20% speedup in do_send_messages().
This commit also eliminates fetching of emails. We probably
could have done that in a prior commit, but in this commit it
is very explicit that we don't need it. While removing email
from the query is a no-brainer, it actually had a negigible
impact on performance. Almost all the savings here comes from
not create UserProfile objects.
Usually a small minority of users are eligible to receive missed
message emails or mobile notifications.
We now filter users first before hitting UserPresence to find idle
users. We also simply check for the existence of recent activity
rather than borrowing the more complicated data structures that we
use for the buddy list.
Use this new variable to determine if the user already exists while
doing registration. While doing login through GitHub if we press
*Go back to login*, we pass email using email variable. As a result,
the login page starts showing the "User already exists error" if we
don't change the variable.
Previously, Zulip's server logs would not show which user or client
was involved in login or user registration actions, which made
debugging more annoying than it needed to be.
This should significantly improve the user experience for new users
signing up with GitHub/Google auth. It comes complete with tests for
the various cases. Further work may be needed for LDAP to not prompt
for a password, however.
Fixes#886.
ScheduledJob was written for much more generality than it ended up being
used for. Currently it is used by send_future_email, and nothing
else. Tailoring the model to emails in particular will make it easier to do
things like selectively clear emails when people unsubscribe from particular
email types, or seamlessly handle using the same email on multiple realms.
This system hasn't been in active use for several years, and had some
problems with it's design. So it makes sense to just remove it to declutter
the codebase.
Fixes#5655.
No change in behavior.
Also makes the first step towards converting all uses of
settings.ZULIP_ADMINISTRATOR and settings.NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS to
FromAddress.*.
Once everything is converted, it will be easier to ensure that future
development doesn't break backwards compatibility with the old style of
settings emails.
This will allow for customized senders for emails, e.g. 'Zulip Digest' for
digest emails and 'Zulip Missed Messages' for missed message emails.
Also:
* Converts the sender name to always be "Zulip", if the from_email used to
be settings.NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS or settings.ZULIP_ADMINISTRATOR.
* Changes the default value of settings.NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS in the
prod_setting_template to no longer have a display name. The only use of
that display name was in the email pathway.
