When persisting events we calculate new stream orderings up front.
Before we notify about an event all events with lower stream orderings
must have finished being persisted.
This PR moves the assignment of stream ordering till *after* calculated
the new current state and split the batch of events into separate chunks
for persistence. This means that if it takes a long time to calculate
new current state then it will not block events in other rooms being
notified about.
This should help reduce some global pauses in the events stream which
can last for tens of seconds (if not longer), caused by some
particularly expensive state resolutions.
Annoyingly, `current_state_events` table can include rejected events,
in which case the membership column will be null. To work around this
lets just always filter out null membership for now.
`None` is not a valid event id, so queuing up a database fetch for it seems
like a silly thing to do.
I considered making `get_event` return `None` if `event_id is None`, but then
its interaction with `allow_none` seemed uninituitive, and strong typing ftw.
This will allow us to efficiently filter out rooms that have been
forgotten in other queries without having to join against the
`room_memberships` table.
We can now use `_get_events_from_cache_or_db` rather than going right back to
the database, which means that (a) we can benefit from caching, and (b) it
opens the way forward to more extensive checks on the original event.
We now always require the original event to exist before we will serve up a
redaction.
Ensures that redactions are correctly authenticated for recent room versions.
There are a few things going on here:
* `_fetch_event_rows` is updated to return a dict rather than a list of rows.
* Rather than returning multiple copies of an event which was redacted
multiple times, it returns the redactions as a list within the dict.
* It also returns the actual rejection reason, rather than merely the fact
that it was rejected, so that we don't have to query the table again in
`_get_event_from_row`.
* The redaction handling is factored out of `_get_event_from_row`, and now
checks if any of the redactions are valid.
A couple of changes here:
* get rid of a redundant `allow_rejected` condition - we should already have filtered out any rejected
events before we get to that point in the code, and the redundancy is confusing. Instead, let's stick in
an assertion just to make double-sure we aren't leaking rejected events by mistake.
* factor out a `_get_events_from_cache_or_db` method, which is going to be important for a
forthcoming fix to redactions.
When asking for the relations of an event, include the original event in the response. This will mostly be used for efficiently showing edit history, but could be useful in other circumstances.
This has never been documented, and I'm not sure it's ever been used outside
sytest.
It's quite a lot of poorly-maintained code, so I'd like to get rid of it.
For now I haven't removed the database table; I suggest we leave that for a
future clearout.
