The previous query suffered from bad corner cases when the user had
received a large number of direct messages but sent very few,
comparatively. This mean that the first half of the UNION would
retrieve a very large number of UserMessage rows, requiring fetching a
large number of Message rows, merely to throw them away upon
determining that the recipient was the current user.
Instead of merging two queries of "last 1k received" + "last 1k sent",
we instead make better use of the UserMessage rows to find "last 1k
sent or received." This may change the list of recipients, as large
disparities in sent/received messages may result in pushing the
most-recently-sent users off of the list. These are likely uncommon
edge cases, however -- and the disparity is the whole reason for the
performance problem.
This also provides more correct answers. In the case where a user's
1001'th message sent was to person A today, but my most recent message
received was from them yesterday, the previous plan would show the
message I received yesterday message-id as the max, and not the more
recent message I sent today.
While we could theoretically raise the `RECENT_CONVERSATIONS_LIMIT` to
more frequently match the same recipient list as previously, this
increases the cost of the most common cases unreasonably. With a
1000-message limit, the common cases are slightly faster, and the tail
latencies are very much improved; raising `RECENT_CONVERSATIONS_LIMIT`
would increase the result similarity to the old algorithm, at the cost
of the p50 and p75.
| | Old | New |
| ------ | ------- | ------- |
| Mean | 0.05287 | 0.02520 |
| p50 | 0.00695 | 0.00556 |
| p75 | 0.05592 | 0.03351 |
| p90 | 0.14645 | 0.08026 |
| p95 | 0.20181 | 0.10906 |
| p99 | 0.30691 | 0.16014 |
| p99.9 | 0.57894 | 0.19521 |
| max | 22.0610 | 0.22184 |
On the whole, however, the much more bounded worst case are worth the
small changes to the resultset.
This is preparatory work towards adding a Topic model.
We plan to use the local variable name as 'topic' for
the Topic model objects.
Currently, we use *topic as the local variable name for
topic names.
We rename local variables of the form *topic to *topic_name
so that we don't need to think about type collisions in
individual code paths where we might want to talk about both
Topic objects and strings for the topic name.

Requests to these endpoint are about a specified user, and therefore
also have a notion of the RemoteRealm for these requests. Until now
these endpoints weren't getting the realm_uuid value, because it wasn't
used - but now it is needed for updating .last_request_datetime on the
RemoteRealm.
`<time:1234567890123>` causes a "signed integer is greater than
maximum" exception from dateutil.parser; datetime also cannot handle
it ("year 41091 is out of range") but that is a ValueError which is
already caught.
Catch the OverflowError thrown by dateutil.
boto3 has two different modalities of making API calls -- through
resources, and through clients. Resources are a higher-level
abstraction, and thus more generally useful, but some APIs are only
accessible through clients. It is possible to get to a client object
from a resource, but not vice versa.
Use `get_bucket(...).meta.client` when we need direct access to the
client object for more complex API calls; this lets all of the
configuration for how to access S3 to sit within `get_bucket`. Client
objects are not bound to only one bucket, but we get to them based on
the bucket we will be interacting with, for clarity.
We removed the cached session object, as it serves no real purpose.
e883ab057f started caching the boto client, which we had identified
as slow call. e883ab057f went further, calling
`get_boto_client().generate_presigned_url()` once and caching that
result.
This makes the inner cache on the client useless. Remove it.
If we `.distinct("delivery_email")` then we must also
`.order_by("delivery_email")`; adc987dc43 added the `.order_by`
call, which broke the newsletter codepath, since it did not contain
the `delivery_email` in the ordering fields.
Add a flag to distinct on emails in `send_custom_email`.
For remote servers, we cannot advertise `List-Unsubscribe=One-Click`,
which is specified in RFC 8058[^1] to mean that the `List-Unsubscribe`
URL supports a POST request with no arguments to unsubscribe. Because
we show an interstitial and confirmation page, as this is not just a
mailing list which is disabled if you click the link, it does not
support the mail system performing the unsubscribe for the user.
Remove the inaccurate header for remote servers.

612f2c73d6 started passing add_context to
`send_custom_server_email`, but did not make it make use of it.
Also add the `hostname` as a built-in value, since that is most likely
the most useful property.
This fixes the exception case on the initial
`/api/v1/remotes/server/analytics/status` case. Other exceptions from
`send_to_push_bouncer` are allowed to escape.

Previously, passing a url longer than 200 characters for
jitsi_server_url caused a low-level failure at DB level. This
commit adds this restriction at API level.
Fixes part of #27355.
Saying `**options: str` is a lie, since it contains bools. We pluck
out the two bools that we need properly typed because we will be
pushing them into function calls, and type them explicitly as bools.
If the exception was because the channel closed, attempting to NAK the
events will just raise another error, and is pointless, as the server
already marked the pending events as NAK'd.
