Pre-populate room data for quick filtering/sorting in the Sliding Sync
API
Spawning from
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/17450#discussion_r1697335578
This PR is acting as the Synapse version `N+1` step in the gradual
migration being tracked by
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17623
Adding two new database tables:
- `sliding_sync_joined_rooms`: A table for storing room meta data that
the local server is still participating in. The info here can be shared
across all `Membership.JOIN`. Keyed on `(room_id)` and updated when the
relevant room current state changes or a new event is sent in the room.
- `sliding_sync_membership_snapshots`: A table for storing a snapshot of
room meta data at the time of the local user's membership. Keyed on
`(room_id, user_id)` and only updated when a user's membership in a room
changes.
Also adds background updates to populate these tables with all of the
existing data.
We want to have the guarantee that if a row exists in the sliding sync
tables, we are able to rely on it (accurate data). And if a row doesn't
exist, we use a fallback to get the same info until the background
updates fill in the rows or a new event comes in triggering it to be
fully inserted. This means we need a couple extra things in place until
we bump `SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION` and run the foreground update in the
`N+2` part of the gradual migration. For context on why we can't rely on
the tables without these things see [1].
1. On start-up, block until we clear out any rows for the rooms that
have had events since the max-`stream_ordering` of the
`sliding_sync_joined_rooms` table (compare to max-`stream_ordering` of
the `events` table). For `sliding_sync_membership_snapshots`, we can
compare to the max-`stream_ordering` of `local_current_membership`
- This accounts for when someone downgrades their Synapse version and
then upgrades it again. This will ensure that we don't have any
stale/out-of-date data in the
`sliding_sync_joined_rooms`/`sliding_sync_membership_snapshots` tables
since any new events sent in rooms would have also needed to be written
to the sliding sync tables. For example a new event needs to bump
`event_stream_ordering` in `sliding_sync_joined_rooms` table or some
state in the room changing (like the room name). Or another example of
someone's membership changing in a room affecting
`sliding_sync_membership_snapshots`.
1. Add another background update that will catch-up with any rows that
were just deleted from the sliding sync tables (based on the activity in
the `events`/`local_current_membership`). The rooms that need
recalculating are added to the
`sliding_sync_joined_rooms_to_recalculate` table.
1. Making sure rows are fully inserted. Instead of partially inserting,
we need to check if the row already exists and fully insert all data if
not.
All of this extra functionality can be removed once the
`SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION` is bumped with support for the new sliding sync
tables so people can no longer downgrade (the `N+2` part of the gradual
migration).
<details>
<summary><sup>[1]</sup></summary>
For `sliding_sync_joined_rooms`, since we partially insert rows as state
comes in, we can't rely on the existence of the row for a given
`room_id`. We can't even rely on looking at whether the background
update has finished. There could still be partial rows from when someone
reverted their Synapse version after the background update finished, had
some state changes (or new rooms), then upgraded again and more state
changes happen leaving a partial row.
For `sliding_sync_membership_snapshots`, we insert items as a whole
except for the `forgotten` column ~~so we can rely on rows existing and
just need to always use a fallback for the `forgotten` data. We can't
use the `forgotten` column in the table for the same reasons above about
`sliding_sync_joined_rooms`.~~ We could have an out-of-date membership
from when someone reverted their Synapse version. (same problems as
outlined for `sliding_sync_joined_rooms` above)

### TODO
- [x] Update `stream_ordering`/`bump_stamp`
- [x] Handle remote invites
- [x] Handle state resets
- [x] Consider adding `sender` so we can filter `LEAVE` memberships and
distinguish from kicks.
- [x] We should add it to be able to tell leaves from kicks
- [x] Consider adding `tombstone` state to help address
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17540
- [x] We should add it `tombstone_successor_room_id`
- [x] Consider adding `forgotten` status to avoid extra
lookup/table-join on `room_memberships`
- [x] We should add it
- [x] Background update to fill in values for all joined rooms and
non-join membership
- [x] Clean-up tables when room is deleted
- [ ] Make sure tables are useful to our use case
- First explored in
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/compare/erikj/ss_use_new_tables
- Also explored in
76b5a576eb
- [x] Plan for how can we use this with a fallback
- See plan discussed above in main area of the issue description
- Discussed in an [internal
meeting](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MnuvPkaCkT_wviSQZ6YKBjiWciCBFMd-7hxyCO-OCbQ/edit#bookmark=id.dz5x6ef4mxz7)
- [x] Plan for how we can rely on this new table without a fallback
- Synapse version `N+1`: (this PR) Bump `SCHEMA_VERSION` to `87`. Add
new tables and background update to backfill all rows. Since this is a
new table, we don't have to add any `NOT VALID` constraints and validate
them when the background update completes. Read from new tables with a
fallback in cases where the rows aren't filled in yet.
- Synapse version `N+2`: Bump `SCHEMA_VERSION` to `88` and bump
`SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION` to `87` because we don't want people to
downgrade and miss writes while they are on an older version. Add a
foreground update to finish off the backfill so we can read from new
tables without the fallback. Application code can now rely on the new
tables being populated.

<summary>SQL queries:</summary>
Both of these are equivalent and work in SQLite and Postgres
Options 1:
```sql
WITH data_table (room_id, user_id, membership_event_id, membership, event_stream_ordering, {", ".join(insert_keys)}) AS (
VALUES (
?, ?, ?,
(SELECT membership FROM room_memberships WHERE event_id = ?),
(SELECT stream_ordering FROM events WHERE event_id = ?),
{", ".join("?" for _ in insert_values)}
)
)
INSERT INTO sliding_sync_non_join_memberships
(room_id, user_id, membership_event_id, membership, event_stream_ordering, {", ".join(insert_keys)})
SELECT * FROM data_table
WHERE membership != ?
ON CONFLICT (room_id, user_id)
DO UPDATE SET
membership_event_id = EXCLUDED.membership_event_id,
membership = EXCLUDED.membership,
event_stream_ordering = EXCLUDED.event_stream_ordering,
{", ".join(f"{key} = EXCLUDED.{key}" for key in insert_keys)}
```
Option 2:
```sql
INSERT INTO sliding_sync_non_join_memberships
(room_id, user_id, membership_event_id, membership, event_stream_ordering, {", ".join(insert_keys)})
SELECT
column1 as room_id,
column2 as user_id,
column3 as membership_event_id,
column4 as membership,
column5 as event_stream_ordering,
{", ".join("column" + str(i) for i in range(6, 6 + len(insert_keys)))}
FROM (
VALUES (
?, ?, ?,
(SELECT membership FROM room_memberships WHERE event_id = ?),
(SELECT stream_ordering FROM events WHERE event_id = ?),
{", ".join("?" for _ in insert_values)}
)
) as v
WHERE membership != ?
ON CONFLICT (room_id, user_id)
DO UPDATE SET
membership_event_id = EXCLUDED.membership_event_id,
membership = EXCLUDED.membership,
event_stream_ordering = EXCLUDED.event_stream_ordering,
{", ".join(f"{key} = EXCLUDED.{key}" for key in insert_keys)}
```
If we don't need the `membership` condition, we could use:
```sql
INSERT INTO sliding_sync_non_join_memberships
(room_id, membership_event_id, user_id, membership, event_stream_ordering, {", ".join(insert_keys)})
VALUES (
?, ?, ?,
(SELECT membership FROM room_memberships WHERE event_id = ?),
(SELECT stream_ordering FROM events WHERE event_id = ?),
{", ".join("?" for _ in insert_values)}
)
ON CONFLICT (room_id, user_id)
DO UPDATE SET
membership_event_id = EXCLUDED.membership_event_id,
membership = EXCLUDED.membership,
event_stream_ordering = EXCLUDED.event_stream_ordering,
{", ".join(f"{key} = EXCLUDED.{key}" for key in insert_keys)}
```
