This is *not* ready for production yet. Caveats:
1. We should write some tests...
2. The stream token that we use for events can get stalled at the minimum position of all writers. This means that new events may not be processed and e.g. sent down sync streams if a writer isn't writing or is slow.
* Move `get_devices_with_keys_by_user` to `EndToEndKeyWorkerStore`
this seems a better fit for it.
This commit simply moves the existing code: no other changes at all.
* Rename `get_devices_with_keys_by_user`
to better reflect what it does.
* get_device_stream_token abstract method
To avoid referencing fields which are declared in the derived classes, make
`get_device_stream_token` abstract, and define that in the classes which define
`_device_list_id_gen`.
This fixes a bug where having multiple callers waiting on the same
stream and position will cause it to try and compare two deferreds,
which fails (due to the sorted list having an entry of `Tuple[int,
Deferred]`).
It's just a thin wrapper around two ID gens to make `get_current_token`
and `get_next` return tuples. This can easily be replaced by calling the
appropriate methods on the underlying ID gens directly.
The function is used for two purposes: 1) for subscribers of streams to
get a token they can use to get further updates with, and 2) for
replication to track position of the writers of the stream.
For streams with a single writer the two scenarios produce the same
result, however the situation becomes complicated for streams with
multiple writers. The current `MultiWriterIdGenerator` does not
correctly handle the first case (which is not an issue as its only used
for the `caches` stream which nothing subscribes to outside of
replication).

IIRC this doesn't break tests because its only hit on reconnection, or something.
Basically, when a process needs to fetch missing updates for the `typing` stream it needs to query the writer instance via HTTP (as we don't write typing notifications to the DB), the problem was that the endpoint (`streams`) was only registered on master and specifically not on the typing writer worker.
Most of the stuff we do for replication commands can be done synchronously. There's no point spinning up background processes if we're not going to need them.
Handling of incoming typing stream updates from replication was not
hooked up on master, effecting set ups where typing was handled on a
different worker.
This is really only a problem if the master process is also handling
sync requests, which is unlikely for those that are at the stage of
moving typing off.
The other observable effect is that if a worker restarts or a
replication connect drops then the typing worker will issue a
`POSITION typing`, triggering master process to try and stream *all*
typing updates from position 0.
Fixes#7907
It serves no purpose and updating everytime we write to the device inbox
stream means all such transactions will conflict, causing lots of
transaction failures and retries.
When we get behind on replication, we tend to stack up background processes
behind a linearizer. Bg processes are heavy (particularly with respect to
prometheus metrics) and linearizers aren't terribly efficient once the queue
gets long either.
A better approach is to maintain a queue of requests to be processed, and
nominate a single process to work its way through the queue.
Fixes: #7444
Fixes#2181.
The basic premise is that, when we
fail to reject an invite via the remote server, we can generate our own
out-of-band leave event and persist it as an outlier, so that we have something
to send to the client.
The CI appears to use the latest version of isort, which is a problem when isort gets a major version bump. Rather than try to pin the version, I've done the necessary to make isort5 happy with synapse.
The aim here is to make it easier to reason about when streams are limited and when they're not, by moving the logic into the database functions themselves. This should mean we can kill of `db_query_to_update_function` function.
* Ensure account data stream IDs are unique.
The account data stream is shared between three tables, and the maximum
allocated ID was tracked in a dedicated table. Updating the max ID
happened outside the transaction that allocated the ID, leading to a
race where if the server was restarted then the same ID could be
allocated but the max ID failed to be updated, leading it to be reused.
The ID generators have support for tracking across multiple tables, so
we may as well use that instead of a dedicated table.
* Fix bug in account data replication stream.
If the same stream ID was used in both global and room account data then
the getting updates for the replication stream would fail due to
`heapq.merge(..)` trying to compare a `str` with a `None`. (This is
because you'd have two rows like `(534, '!room')` and `(534, None)` from
the room and global account data tables).
Fix is just to order by stream ID, since we don't rely on the ordering
beyond that. The bug where stream IDs can be reused should be fixed now,
so this case shouldn't happen going forward.
Fixes#7617
The idea here is that if an instance persists an event via the replication HTTP API it can return before we receive that event over replication, which can lead to races where code assumes that persisting an event immediately updates various caches (e.g. current state of the room).
Most of Synapse doesn't hit such races, so we don't do the waiting automagically, instead we do so where necessary to avoid unnecessary delays. We may decide to change our minds here if it turns out there are a lot of subtle races going on.
People probably want to look at this commit by commit.
Make sure that the AccountDataStream presents complete updates, in the right
order.
This is much the same fix as #7337 and #7358, but applied to a different stream.
This allows us to have the logic on both master and workers, which is necessary to move event persistence off master.
We also combine the instantiation of ID generators from DataStore and slave stores to the base worker stores. This allows us to select which process writes events independently of the master/worker splits.
Before all streams were only written to from master, so only master needed to respond to `REPLICATE` commands.
Before all instances wrote to the cache invalidation stream, but didn't respond to `REPLICATE`. This was a bug, which could lead to missed rows from cache invalidation stream if an instance is restarted, however all the caches would be empty in that case so it wasn't a problem.
Proactively send out `POSITION` commands (as if we had just received a `REPLICATE`) when we connect to Redis. This is important as other instances won't notice we've connected to issue a `REPLICATE` command (unlike for direct TCP connections). This is only currently an issue if master process reconnects without restarting (if it restarts then it won't have written anything and so other instances probably won't have missed anything).
