Ensure that router is cleared when we do site setup; we can still fetch the data from cache, so it should stay fast, but should ensure that we don't end up with someone else's routes still set up, which may be an issue breaking some of the bookmark handling that needs routing with a rare plugin.
* skip 0-byte config files when initializing, go ahead and redirect to installer if no non-0-byte files
* tweak warning on installer.php to let you know if you have a 0-byte config.php that's not writable, as opposed to generally already having a config.php with data in it
- 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
* renamed FeedSub plugin to OStatus
* now setting avatar on subscriptions
* general fixes for subscription
* integrated PuSH hub to handle only user timelines on canonical ID url; sends updates directly
* set $config['feedsub']['nohub'] = true to test w/ foreign feeds that don't have hubs (won't actually receive updates though)
* a few bits of code documentation
* HMAC support for verified distributions (safest if sub setup is on HTTPS)
And a couple core changes:
* minimizing HTML output for exceptions in API requests to aid in debugging
* fix for rel=self link in apitimelineuser when id given
This does not not yet include any of the individual subscription management (Salmon notifications for sub/unsub, etc) nor a nice UI for user subscriptions.
Needs some further cleanup to treat posts as status updates instead of link references.
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
