queuectl.php --update -s<site>
queuectl.php --stop
queuectl.php --restart
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.
New configuration options to define a single-user mode. This hides
most of the "community" pages, like the public timeline and groups.
The main user's timeline becomes the main page, and most other URLs
are changed.
Switching back and forth between 1-user and multi-user mode is
probably hazardous.

add single-user mode
Moved much of the writing that happens when posting a notice to a new
queuehandler, distribqueuehandler. This updates tags, groups, replies
and inboxes at queue time (or at Web time, if queues are disabled).
To make this work well, I had to break up the monolithic
Notice::blowCaches() and make cache blowing happen closer to where
data is updated.

move broadcasting and distributing to new queuehandler

Move distribution of notices to new distribute queue handler
Previously, messages once delivered would just get stuck in the queue seemingly forever if they never got ACKed.
Note this could lead to partial duplication, for instance if the OMB or Twitter queue handlers die after 1/2 of the outgoing sends.
Recommendations:
* catch exceptions more aggressively within queue handlers (so only PHP fatal errors are likely to kill in the middle)
* for processing that involves sending to multiple clients, consider a second queue similar to the XMPP output, eg for OMB:
- first queue gets delivery list and builds message data, enqueueing it for each target address
- second queue can handle each individual outgoing message (and attempt redelivery etc separately)
This would also protect better against a recurring error preventing delivery in the second part, and could spread out any slow sends over multiple threads.
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.
