This table is no longer used, so we may as well stop populating it. Removing it
would prevent people rolling back to older releases of Synapse, so that can
happen in a future release.
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.
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.
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.
The aim here is to get to a stage where we have a `PersistEventStore` that holds all the write methods used during event persistence, so that we can take that class out of the `DataStore` mixin and instansiate it separately. This will allow us to instansiate it on processes other than master, while also ensuring it is only available on processes that are configured to write to events stream.
This is a bit of an architectural change, where we end up with multiple classes per data store (rather than one per data store we have now). We end up having:
1. Storage classes that provide high level APIs that can talk to multiple data stores.
2. Data store modules that consist of classes that must point at the same database instance.
3. Classes in a data store that can be instantiated on processes depending on config.
* Factor out functions for injecting events into database
I want to add some more flexibility to the tools for injecting events into the
database, and I don't want to clutter up HomeserverTestCase with them, so let's
factor them out to a new file.
* Rework TestReplicationDataHandler
This wasn't very easy to work with: the mock wrapping was largely superfluous,
and it's useful to be able to inspect the received rows, and clear out the
received list.
* Fix AssertionErrors being thrown by EventsStream
Part of the problem was that there was an off-by-one error in the assertion,
but also the limit logic was too simple. Fix it all up and add some tests.
Figuring out how to correctly limit updates from this stream without dropping
entries is far more complicated than just counting the number of rows being
returned. We need to consider each query separately and, if any one query hits
the limit, truncate the results from the others.
I think this also fixes some potentially long-standing bugs where events or
state changes could get missed if we hit the limit on either query.
This changes the replication protocol so that the server does not send down `RDATA` for rows that happened before the client connected. Instead, the server will send a `POSITION` and clients then query the database (or master out of band) to get up to date.
* Pull Sentinel out of LoggingContext
... and drop a few unnecessary references to it
* Factor out LoggingContext.current_context
move `current_context` and `set_context` out to top-level functions.
Mostly this means that I can more easily trace what's actually referring to
LoggingContext, but I think it's generally neater.
* move copy-to-parent into `stop`
this really just makes `start` and `stop` more symetric. It also means that it
behaves correctly if you manually `set_log_context` rather than using the
context manager.
* Replace `LoggingContext.alive` with `finished`
Turn `alive` into `finished` and make it a bit better defined.
There are quite a few places that we assume that a redaction event has a
corresponding `redacts` key, which is not always the case. So lets
cheekily make it so that event.redacts just returns None instead.
have_events was a map from event_id to rejection reason (or None) for events
which are in our local database. It was used as filter on the list of
event_ids being passed into get_events_as_list. However, since
get_events_as_list will ignore any event_ids that are unknown or rejected, we
can equivalently just leave it to get_events_as_list to do the filtering.
That means that we don't have to keep `have_events` up-to-date, and can use
`have_seen_events` instead of `get_seen_events_with_rejection` in the one place
we do need it.
