* Make IdsToBigints (mostly!) non-blocking
This pulls in GitLab's MigrationHelpers, which include code to make
column changes in ways that Postgres can do without locking. In general,
this involves creating a new column, adding an index and any foreign
keys as appropriate, adding a trigger to keep it populated alongside
the old column, and then progressively copying data over to the new
column, before removing the old column and replacing it with the new
one.
A few changes to GitLab's MigrationHelpers were necessary:
* Some changes were made to remove dependencies on other GitLab code.
* We explicitly wait for index creation before forging ahead on column
replacements.
* We use different temporary column names, to avoid running into index
name length limits.
* We rename the generated indices back to what they "should" be after
replacing columns.
* We rename the generated foreign keys to use the new column names when
we had to create them. (This allows the migration to be rolled back
without incident.)
# Big Scary Warning
There are two things here that may trip up large instances:
1. The change for tables' "id" columns is not concurrent. In
particular, the stream_entries table may be big, and does not
concurrently migrate its id column. (On the other hand, x_id type
columns are all concurrent.)
2. This migration will take a long time to run, *but it should not
lock tables during that time* (with the exception of the "id"
columns as described above). That means this should probably be run
in `screen` or some other session that can be run for a long time.
Notably, the migration will take *longer* than it would without
these changes, but the website will still be responsive during that
time.
These changes were tested on a relatively large statuses table (256k
entries), and the service remained responsive during the migration.
Migrations both forward and backward were tested.
* Rubocop fixes
* MigrationHelpers: Support ID columns in some cases
This doesn't work in cases where the ID column is referred to as a
foreign key by another table.
* MigrationHelpers: support foreign keys for ID cols
Note that this does not yet support foreign keys on non-primary-key
columns, but Mastodon also doesn't yet have any that we've needed to
migrate.
This means we can perform fully "concurrent" migrations to change ID
column types, and the IdsToBigints migration can happen with effectively
no downtime. (A few operations require a transaction, such as renaming
columns or deleting them, but these transactions should not block for
noticeable amounts of time.)
The algorithm for generating foreign key names has changed with this,
and therefore all of those changed in schema.rb.
* Provide status, allow for interruptions
The MigrationHelpers now allow restarting the rename of a column if it
was interrupted, by removing the old "new column" and re-starting the
process.
Along with this, they now provide status updates on the changes which
are happening, as well as indications about when the changes can be
safely interrupted (when there are at least 10 seconds estimated to be
left before copying data is complete).
The IdsToBigints migration now also sorts the columns it migrates by
size, starting with the largest tables. This should provide
administrators a worst-case scenario estimate for the length of
migrations: each successive change will get faster, giving admins a
chance to abort early on if they need to run the migration later. The
idea is that this does not force them to try to time interruptions
between smaller migrations.
* Fix column sorting in IdsToBigints
Not a significant change, but it impacts the order of columns in the
database and db/schema.rb.
* Actually pause before IdsToBigints
* Introduce recent scope to Status and StreamEntry
Introduce recent scope to Status and StreamEntry as Account has.
* Cover AccountsController more in AccountsController
* Add <ostatus:conversation /> tag to Atom input/output
Only uses ref attribute (not href) because href would be
the alternate link that's always included also.
Creates new conversation for every non-reply status. Carries
over conversation for every reply. Keeps remote URIs verbatim,
generates local URIs on the fly like the rest of them.
* Fix conversation migration
* More spec coverage for status before_create
* Prevent n+1 query when generating Atom with the new conversations
* Improve code style
* Remove redundant local variable
* add annotate to Gemfile
* rails g annotate:install
* configure annotate_models
* add schema info to models
* fix rubocop to add frozen_string_literal
* Rewrite Atom generation from stream entries to use Ox instead of Nokogiri::Builder
StreamEntry is now limited to only statuses, which allows some optimization. Removed
extra queries on AccountsController#show. AtomSerializer instead of AtomBuilderHelper
used in AccountsController#show, StreamEntriesController#show, StreamEntryRenderer
and PubSubHubbub::DistributionWorker
PubSubHubbub::DistributionWorker moves n+1 DomainBlock query to PubSubHubbub::DeliveryWorker
instead.
All Salmon slaps that aren't based on StreamEntry still use AtomBuilderHelper and Nokogiri
* All Salmon slaps now use Ox instead of Nokogiri. No touch from status on account
Filters out hidden stream entries from Atom feed
Blocks now generate hidden stream entries, can be used to federate blocks
Private statuses cannot be reblogged (generates generic 422 error for now)
POST /api/v1/statuses now takes visibility=(public|unlisted|private) param instead of unlisted boolean
Statuses JSON now contains visibility=(public|unlisted|private) field
