While this functionality to post slow queries to a Zulip stream was
very useful in the early days of Zulip, when there were only a few
hundred accounts, it's long since been useless since (1) the total
request volume on larger Zulip servers run by Zulip developers, and
(2) other server operators don't want real-time notifications of slow
backend queries. The right structure for this is just a log file.
We get rid of the queue and replace it with a "zulip.slow_queries"
logger, which will still log to /var/log/zulip/slow_queries.log for
ease of access to this information and propagate to the other logging
handlers. Reducing the amount of queues is good for lowering zulip's
memory footprint and restart performance, since we run at least one
dedicated queue worker process for each one in most configurations.
Revert c8f034e9a "queue: Remove missedmessage_email_senders code."
As the comment in the code says, it ensures a smooth upgrade path
from 1.7.x; we can delete it in master after 1.8.0 is released.
The removal commit was merged early due to a communication failure.
See 625939 for more information. In short, the purpose of this delay is
to give autoreload code enough time to touch every watched file at least
once before the change is made.
The autoreload code of Django works by looping over the files associated
with all the loaded modules. This loop is run after every 1 second. If
the file is found for the first time by the loop, it is assumed that the
file is new and is not modified between the time it is loaded and is
checked by the loop. This assumption is the source of a race condition.
We can either implement a more sensitive version of the loop or we can
just allow enough time to the Django loop to touch every file at least
once.
For the time being, we are going with the second option.
Previously, there were following problems with the implmentation:
* Same file handle was being used to read and write. We used to do
`seek(0)` and then `read()`. This had a chance to overwrite
file data. Now we use different file handles to read and write data.
* We were using text streams. Text streams cannot be used with
`bufferring=0`. Now we use binary streams without buffering so that
data is available for reading without any delay.
This commit also updates the key(s) that we search in the logfile.
Previously, launch of all queues was announced in the log, now we only
anounce the number of threads that were launched.
This commit also makes sure that we always exit after gracefull shutting
down the development server.
This commit just copies all the code from MissedMessageSendingWorker
class to a new EmailSendingWorker class. All the logic to send an email
through a queue was already there. This commit only makes the logic
generic. It does so by creating a special purpose queue called
'email_senders' to send any type of email. To make
MissedMessageSendingWorker still work we derive it from
EmailSendingWorker. All the tests that were testing
MissedMessageSendingWorker now run against EmailSendingWorker.
This reverts commit 66261f1cc. See parent commit for reason; here,
provision worked but `tools/run-dev.py` would give errors.
We need to figure out a test that reproduces these issues, then make a
version of these changes that keeps that test working, before we
re-merge them.
This fixes a bug where, when a user is unsubscribed from a stream,
they might have unread messages on that stream leak. While it might
seem to be a minor problem, it can cause significant problems for
computing the `unread_msgs` data structures, since it means we need to
add an extra filter for whether the user is still subscribed, either
in the backend or in the UI.
Fixes#7095.
Tweaked by tabbott to not remove it from lister.py, linter_lib, and
friends, since those are intended to support both Python 2 and 3
(we're planning to extract them from the repository).
This causes `upgrade-zulip-from-git`, as well as a no-option run of
`tools/build-release-tarball`, to produce a Zulip install running
Python 3, rather than Python 2. In particular this means that the
virtualenv we create, in which all application code runs, is Python 3.
One shebang line, on `zulip-ec2-configure-interfaces`, explicitly
keeps Python 2, and at least one external ops script, `wal-e`, also
still runs on Python 2. See discussion on the respective previous
commits that made those explicit. There may also be some other
third-party scripts we use, outside of this source tree and running
outside our virtualenv, that still run on Python 2.
- Add new 'missedmessage_email_senders' queue for sending missed messages emails.
- Add the new worker to process 'missedmessage_email_senders' queue.
- Split aggregation missed messages and sending missed messages email
to separate queue workers.
- Adapt tests for sending missed emails to the new logic.
Fixes#2607
This list was likely to end up out of date quickly, since it wasn't
documented that you need to update it when adding a queue. The best
solution is to just not require it to be updated.
This helps make the Zulip development environment somewhat more robust
to new contributors, since it will give them a nice warning if they
try running any of our development tools outside the Zulip virtualenv.
Fixes#3468.
It seems that we no longer get the message, 'zerver/lib/actions.py
modified; restarting server', but the server reloads successfully
nonetheless.
Fixes: #1341.
