UserActivityStream -- used to create a full activity stream including subscriptions, favorites, notices, etc -- normally buffers everything into memory at once. This is infeasible for accounts with long histories of serious usage; it can take tens of seconds just to pull all records from the database, and working with them all in memory is very likely to hit resource limits.
This commit adds an alternate mode for this class which avoids pulling notices until during the actual output. Instead of pre-sorting and buffering all the notices, empty spaces between the other activities are filled in with notices as we're making output. This means more smaller queries spread out during operations, and less stuff kept in memory.
Callers (backupaccount action, and backupuser.php) which can stream their output pass an $outputMode param of UserActivityStream::OUTPUT_RAW, and during getString() it'll send straight to output as well as slurping the notices in this extra funky fashion.
Other callers will let it default to the OUTPUT_STRING mode, which keeps the previous behavior.
There should be a better way to do this, swapping out the stringer output for raw output more consitently.
Moved most of the heavy-lifting for account restoration out of
restoreuser.php and into its own class, with the hope that we'll do
the work from the Web eventually.
common_shorten_links() can only access the web session's logged-in user, so never properly took user options into effect for posting via XMPP, API, mail, etc.
Adds an optional $user parameter on common_shorten_links(), and a $user->shortenLinks() as a clearer interface for that.
Tweaked some lower-level functions so $user gets passed down -- making the $notice_id param previously there for saving URLs at notice save time generalized a little.
Note also ticket #2919: there's a lot of duplicate code calling the shortening, checking the length, and reporting near-identical error messages. These should be consolidated to aid in code and translation maintenance.
* add some sanity checking: abort on failures instead of plodding through
* add some progress / error output
* fetch the target database server name from the status_network entry and use that to target the DROP DATABASE
Note that database names and other overrides in status_network entry may still not be seen.
* Moved notification sending from Notice::saveReplies to distrib queue handler, so it'll pull from the reply set we've saved regardless of how we got it.
* Set up gettext infrastructure for command-line scripts; gets localization mail notifications etc working from background queues.
* Adjusted locale switching: common_switch_locale() works at runtime for bg scripts, forces a message catalog update
May be slow or run out of memory if run on particularly prolific posters -- not yet optimized for that case.
Note that geodata that has already been sent out to other services (via ostatus, omb, twitter, etc) will not be removed from them.
(fixed version -- previous had accidentally undone another commit)

* added locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/statusnet.po to make it easier to start customizing English texts
* added notes to locale/README about customizing and how to disable languages you haven't customized
* renamed PO templates from *.po to *.pot to match general conventions and reduce confusion for people trying to find which file they're supposed to edit
Keeps stray daemon subprocesses from floating around when we kill the parents via a signal!
Accomplished by opening a bidirectional pipe in the parent process; the children close out the writer end and keep the reader in their open sockets list. When the parent dies, the children see that the socket's been closed out and can perform an orderly shutdown.
It was only finding the first two avatars and then thinking it was done.
I'm not entirely sure why it was doing that.
I think maybe all the cloning made it forget where it was or something.
Either way, it seems to work now, and really uses less memory.
All breakout queues that we're going to need to listen to now need to be explicitly listed in $config['queue']['breakout'].
Until XMPP is moved to component model, this setting will let the individual processes work with their own queues:
$config['queue']['breakout'][] = 'xmpp/xmppout/' . $config['site']['nickname'];
- Multiplexing queues into groups and for multiple sites.
- Sharing vs breakout configurable per site and per queue via $config['queue']['breakout']
- Detect how many times a message is redelivered, discard if it's killed too many daemons
- count configurable with $config['queue']['max_retries']
- can dump the items to files in $config['queue']['dead_letter_dir']
Queue daemon memory & resource leak fixes:
- avoid unnecessary reconnections to memcached server (switch persistent connections back in on second initialization, assuming it's child process)
- monkey-patch for leaky .ini loads in DB_DataObject::databaseStructure() - was leaking 200k per active switch
- applied leak fixes to Status_network as well, using intermediate base Safe_DataObject for both it and Memcache_DataObject
Misc queue fixes:
- correct handling of child processes exiting due to signal termination instead of regular exit
- shutdown instead of infinite respawn loop if we're already past the soft memory limit at startup
- Added --all option for xmppdaemon... still opens one xmpp connection per site that has xmpp active
Cache updates:
- add Cache::increment() method with native support for memcached atomic increment
May miss keys other than the given or primary key, but should work for a lot of common cases where a bad entry's been removed from DB but lingers in cache.
Email and tag params added to the end:
setup_status_net.sh mysite 'My Site' 'owner@example.com' '1user'
(If multiple tags are needed, separate them with a pipe "|". Be sure to quote properly!)
New parameters for setup.cfg need to be set:
export PHPBASE=/var/www/statusnet
export WILDCARD=example.net
export MAILTEMPLATE=/etc/statusnet/newsite-mail.txt
export MAILSUBJECT="Your new StatusNet site"
$PHPBASE is the base dir for a callable StatusNet install, used to run command-line scripts for user setup.
$WILDCARD is the wildcard domain, needed to build a full server name to pass into command-line scripts.
$MAILTEMPLATE points to a file containing an e-mail message template. '$nickname', '$sitename', and '$userpass' can be used in the template for substitution.
$MAILSUBJECT is the subject line for said email.
To skip sending an email on creation, leave $MAILTEMPLATE blank or point to a non-existing file.

Default control channel is /topic/statusnet-control. For external utilities to send a site update ping direct to the queue server, connect via Stomp and send a message formatted thus:
update:<nickname>
(Nickname here, *not* server hostname! The rest of the queues will be updated to use nicknames later.)
Note that all currently-connected queue daemons will get these notifications, including both queuedaemon.php and xmppdaemon.php. (XMPP will ignore site update requests for sites that it's not handling.)
Limitations:
* only implemented for stomp queue manager so far
* --update may not yet handle a changed server name properly
* --restart won't reload PHP code files that were already loaded at startup. Still need to stop and restart the daemons from 'outside' when updating code base.
Queue handlers for XMPP individual & firehose output now send their XML stanzas
to another output queue instead of connecting directly to the chat server. This
lets us have as many general processing threads as we need, while all actual
XMPP input and output go through a single daemon with a single connection open.
This avoids problems with multiple connected resources:
* multiple windows shown in some chat clients (psi, gajim, kopete)
* extra load on server
* incoming message delivery forwarding issues
Database changes:
* queue_item drops 'notice_id' in favor of a 'frame' blob.
This is based on Craig Andrews' work branch to generalize queues to take any
object, but conservatively leaving out the serialization for now.
Table updater (preserves any existing queued items) in db/rc3to09.sql
Code changes to watch out for:
* Queue handlers should now define a handle() method instead of handle_notice()
* QueueDaemon and XmppDaemon now share common i/o (IoMaster) and respawning
thread management (RespawningDaemon) infrastructure.
* The polling XmppConfirmManager has been dropped, as the message is queued
directly when saving IM settings.
* Enable $config['queue']['debug_memory'] to output current memory usage at
each run through the event loop to watch for memory leaks
To do:
* Adapt XMPP i/o to component connection mode for multi-site support.
* XMPP input can also be broken out to a queue, which would allow the actual
notice save etc to be handled by general queue threads.
* Make sure there are no problems with simply pushing serialized Notice objects
to queues.
* Find a way to improve interactive performance of the database-backed queue
handler; polling is pretty painful to XMPP.
* Possibly redo the way QueueHandlers are injected into a QueueManager. The
grouping used to split out the XMPP output queue is a bit awkward.
* need lower case in some places
* update target path
Not in production yet at translatewiki.net - need some Translate extension code changes to get YAML config support for Gettext first.
Key changes:
* Initialization code moved from common.php to StatusNet class;
can now switch configurations during runtime.
* As a consequence, configuration files must now be idempotent...
Be careful with constant, function or class definitions.
* Control structure for daemons/QueueManager/QueueHandler has been refactored;
the run loop is now managed by IoMaster run via scripts/queuedaemon.php
IoManager subclasses are woken to handle socket input or polling, and may
cover multiple sites.
* Plugins can implement notice queue handlers more easily by registering a
QueueHandler class; no more need to add a daemon.
The new QueueDaemon runs from scripts/queuedaemon.php:
* This replaces most of the old *handler.php scripts; they've been refactored
to the bare handler classes.
* Spawns multiple child processes to spread load; defaults to CPU count on
Linux and Mac OS X systems, or override with --threads=N
* When multithreaded, child processes are automatically respawned on failure.
* Threads gracefully shut down and restart when passing a soft memory limit
(defaults to 90% of memory_limit), limiting damage from memory leaks.
* Support for UDP-based monitoring: http://www.gitorious.org/snqmon
Rough control flow diagram:
QueueDaemon -> IoMaster -> IoManager
QueueManager [listen or poll] -> QueueHandler
XmppManager [ping & keepalive]
XmppConfirmManager [poll updates]
Todo:
* Respawning features not currently available running single-threaded.
* When running single-site, configuration changes aren't picked up.
* New sites or config changes affecting queue subscriptions are not yet
handled without a daemon restart.
* SNMP monitoring output to integrate with general tools (nagios, ganglia)
* Convert XMPP confirmation message sends to use stomp queue instead of polling
* Convert xmppdaemon.php to IoManager?
* Convert Twitter status, friends import polling daemons to IoManager
* Clean up some error reporting and failure modes
* May need to adjust queue priorities for best perf in backlog/flood cases
Detailed code history available in my daemon-work branch:
http://www.gitorious.org/~brion/statusnet/brion-fixes/commits/daemon-work
* Mostly punctuation updates so that the same message is used consistently in all of StatusNet.
* Some cases of "Title Case" removed, because that does not appear to be used consistently.
Since we added locations to the database, some users may have
location strings in their profiles but not structured locations. This
script updates the locations for single users or for all users.
Used to query user's emails.
Mostly used for administration, to see if a user requesting something is who they say.
Also, some people assume that the admin knows this data, and says things like:
"If you could do _____ with the account connected to this email".
It'd be nice if we could do that without raw SQL.

Upgrade notes:
* Index names have changed from hardcoded 'Identica_people' and 'Identica_notices' to use the database name and actual table names. Must reindex.
New events:
* GetSearchEngine to override default search engine class selection from plugins
New scripts:
* gen_config.php generates a sphinx.conf from database configuration (with theoretical support for status_network table, but it doesn't seem to be cleanly queriable right now without knowing the db setup info for that. Needs generalized support.)
* Replaced old sphinx-indexer.sh and sphinx-cron.sh with index_update.php
Other fixes:
* sphinx.conf.sample better matches our live config, skipping unused stopword list and using a more realistic indexer memory limit
Further notes:
* Probably doesn't work right with PostgreSQL yet; Sphinx can pull from PG but the extraction queries currently look like they use some MySQL-specific functions.
