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
* added ProfileDeleteRelated event to match UserDeleteRelated, to allow plugins to add extra related tables on profile deletion
* UserFlagPlugin: deleting flags when target profile is deleted
* UserFlagPlugin: deleting flags when flagging user is deleted
* UserFlagPlugin: fix for autoloader -- class names are case-insensitive. We may get lowercase class names coming in at times, such as when creating DB objects programatically from a table name.
Note that any already-existing bogus entries need to be removed from the database:
select * from user_flag_profile where (select id from profile where id=profile_id) is null;
select * from user_flag_profile where (select id from user where id=user_id) is null;
Allows storage of larger objects (over 1mb in size uncompressed), such as huge LDAP schemas.
Should also improve cache efficiency (allows more stuff to be stored in same memory) and reduce network latency (less data transfer)
(redo commit 1e9c03e199 which was apparently lost during pluginization)
I modified the SamplePlugin to show how to do some real processing,
adding a data class and an action class and modifying the main
menu to link to the new action. I added documentation comments to
all the methods and made sure the modules were PHPCS-clean.
can't support image upload via multipart/form-data (and location sharing
is iffy).
- Deal with new error code 100 from Facebook, which seem to be for
inactive accounts.
First version of blacklist plugin. Replaces custom code in identi.ca's
config.php, which was getting scary and long. Also correctly handles
changed nicknames or URLs in profile settings and using 'forbidden'
URLs in notice text.
