Previously, we weren't clearing the users out of memcached (we just

And keep the fields updated, by copying on UserProfile creation and
updating the UserProfile object whenever we're updating the User
object, and add management commands to (1) initially ensure that they
match and (2) check that they still match (aka that the updating code

The previous situation was bad for two reasons:
(1) It had a lot of copies of the code, some of them missing pieces:
UserProfile.objects.get(user__email__iexact=foo)
This was in particular going to be inconvenient since we are dropping
the __user part of that.
(2) It didn't take advantage of our memcached caching.

When we added rabbitmq usage within Tornado, we inadvertently caused
the Tornado ioloop to be initialized in runtornado.py's imports,
before we overwrote the _poll method. The end result was that we
weren't running the our instrumented Tornado poll function.
Fix this by moving that code to its own file which we import at the
top of runtornado.py, and adding comments documenting the situation so
we don't break this in some future import reorganization.

Previous we had around 4 copies of the logic for deciding whether we
should publish data via a SimpleQueueClient queue, a
TornadoQueueClient queue, or to directly handle the operation, which
resulted in their getting out of sync and buggy (see e.g. the previous
commit).
We need to add a lock around adding things to the queue to work around
a bug with pika's BlockingConnection.
I should note that the previous logic in some places had a bunch of
tests of the form "elif settings.TEST_SUITE" for doing the work that
would have been done by the queue processor directly; these should
have just been "else" clauses -- since we generally want that code to
run on development environments whether or not the test suite is
currently running.
(imported from commit 16bdbed4fff04b1bda6fde3b16bee7359917720b)
Previously we had several files which initialized SimpleQueueClient()
for sending items to the UserActivity queue, even though those code
paths aren't used outside Tornado. This resulted in slower Tornado
startup times.

This will automatically fix bugs such as one in which
internal_send_message didn't properly strip() the subject argument
before sending a message.
We change the recipient_type argument to internal_send_message to take
the recipient type name (e.g. 'stream') both to better fit the API and
also because the previous code incorrectly handled huddles.

This cache should save 2 database queries whenever we send a private
message. However, previously it was per-process (which meant it was
mostly useless) and also buggy (it never stored anything in the cache,
so that it was completely useless). Switching this to our standard
memcached setup will address both problems.
(imported from commit 1d807f30704bccf28de33a80523488aedc58a9be)
Previously we only used these caches for Tornado requests, because we
were not updating memcached when e.g. the user's pointer changed, and
so functions like update_pointer would not work correctly.
Now that we are updated memcached when the User and UserProfile
objects change, we can use these for all requests.
This saves 2 database queries on every Django request to the server.
(imported from commit aa5bffd885d14bde38b95e80a226bd5ab66f253d)
This should substantially decrease the amount of server load generated
by the userpresence system.
I tested that this indeed was indeed saving one query on

humbughq.com realm logged in.

This cache filling code takes about 5 seconds to run, which means it
will finish before Tornado starts reading from this cache, but if that
were to change, it would be much better to have made at least some
progress.
(imported from commit 60a3420cdb9ddf331d83573a3fdb6be1a5ee5a4f)
Previously we were calling select_related() on Message.client, which
doesn't exist. It seems kinda poor that this doesn't raise an
exception.
I believe this issue was causing us to do very large numbers of
database queries during get_updates calls during server restarts.
(imported from commit b79bd698820fbd9dd82bd61fc175c32cd5ce6d05)
Since we flush memcached when we do a server restart, the flurry of
get_updates requests that fly in afterwards are all cache misses for
getting the User/UserProfile objects, so Tornado ends up spending
around 70ms per get_updates request rather than the usual 1-2ms.
So this should substantially improve our Tornado performance around
server restarts.

At Ksplice we used /usr/bin/python because we shipped dependencies as Debian /
Red Hat packages, which would be installed against the system Python. We were
also very careful to use only Python 2.3 features so that even old system
Python would still work.
None of that is true at Humbug. We expect users to install dependencies
themselves, so it's more likely that the Python in $PATH is correct. On OS X
in particular, it's common to have five broken Python installs and there's no
expectation that /usr/bin/python is the right one.
The files which aren't marked executable are not interesting to run as scripts,
so we just remove the line there. (In general it's common to have libraries
that can also be executed, to run test cases or whatever, but that's not the
case here.)
