This method is a huge footgun in production, since it calls
the Redis KEYS command. From the Redis documentation at
https://redis.io/commands/keys/:
> Warning: consider KEYS as a command that should only be used in
production environments with extreme care. It may ruin performance when
it is executed against large databases. This command is intended for
debugging and special operations, such as changing your keyspace layout.
Don't use KEYS in your regular application code.
Since we were only using `delete_prefixed` in specs (now that we
removed the usage in production in 24ec06ff85)
we can remove this and instead rely on `use_redis_snapshotting` on the
particular tests that need this kind of clearing functionality.
Latest redis interoduces a block form of multi / pipelined, this was incorrectly
passed through and not namespaced.
Fix also updates logster, we held off on upgrading it due to missing functions
Redis supports deleting multiple keys at once using the `del` command and so does the `redis` gem: 21ec1dec06/lib/redis/commands/keys.rb (L188-L193). However, our wrapper around the `del` method currently accepts only one argument and expects it to be a string so it's impossible to delete multiple keys at once.
This PR changes the signature of the `DiscourseRedis#del` method so it accepts any number of arguments and makes sure all keys are properly namespaced before calling the `del` implementation of the `redis` gem.
We can fake redis transactions so that `fab!` works for redis and PG
data, but it's too slow to be used indiscriminately. Instead, you can
opt into it with the `use_redis_snapshotting` helper.
Insofar as snapshotting allows us to `fab!` more things, it provides a
speedup.
This commit fixes the `eval` and `evalsha` commands/methods and any other methods that don't have a wrapper in `DiscourseRedis` and expect keyword arguments. I noticed this problem in Logster when I was trying to fetch some log messages in JSON format using the rails console and saw the messages were missing the `env` field. Logster uses the `eval` command to fetch messages `env`s:
dc351fd00f/lib/logster/redis_store.rb (L250-L253)
and that code was not fetching anything because `DiscourseRedis` didn't pass the `keys` keyword arg to the redis gem.
This reverts commit 20780a1eee.

We have the `# frozen_string_literal: true` comment on all our
files. This means all string literals are frozen. There is no need
to call #freeze on any literals.
For files with `# frozen_string_literal: true`
```
puts %w{a b}[0].frozen?
=> true
puts "hi".frozen?
=> true
puts "a #{1} b".frozen?
=> true
puts ("a " + "b").frozen?
=> false
puts (-("a " + "b")).frozen?
=> true
```

* DEV: Add a fake Mutex that for concurrency testing with Fibers
* DEV: Support running in sleep order in concurrency tests
* FIX: A separate FallbackHandler should be used for each redis pair
This commit refactors the FallbackHandler and Connector:
* There were two different ways to determine whether the redis master
was up. There is now one way and it is the responsibility of the
new RedisStatus class.
* A background thread would be created whenever `verify_master` was
called unless the thread already existed. The thread would
periodically check the status of the redis master. However, checking
that a thread is `alive?` is an ineffective way of determining
whether it will continue to check the redis master in the future
since the thread may be in the process of winding down.
Now, this thread is created when the recorded master status goes from
up to down. Since this thread runs the only part of the code that is
able to bring the recorded status up again, we ensure that only one
thread is probing the redis master at a time and that there is always
a thread probing redis master when it is recorded as being down.
* Each time the status of the redis master was checked periodically, it
would spawn a new thread and immediately join on it. I assume this
happened to isolate the check from the current execution, but since
the join rethrows exceptions in the parent thread, this was not
effective.
* The logic for falling back was spread over the FallbackHandler and
the Connector. The connector is now a dumb object that delegates
responsibility for determining the status of redis to the
FallbackHandler.
* Previously, failing to connect to a master redis instance when it was
not recorded as down would raise an exception. Now, this exception is
passed to `Discourse.warn_exception` and the connection is made to
the slave.
This commit introduces the FallbackHandlers singleton:
* It is responsible for holding the set of FallbackHandlers.
* It adds callbacks to the fallback handlers for when a redis master
comes up or goes down. Main redis and message bus redis may exist on
different or the same redis hosts and so these callbacks may all
exist on the same FallbackHandler or on separate ones.
These objects are tested using fake concurrency provided by the
Concurrency module:
* An `around(:each)` hook is used to cause each test to run inside a
Scenario so that the test body, mocking cleanup and `after(:each)`
callbacks are run in a different Fiber.
* Therefore, holting the execution of the Execution abruptly (so that
the fibers aren't run to completion), prevents the mocking cleaning
and `after(:each)` callbacks from running. I have tried to prevent
this by recovering from all exceptions during an Execution.
* FIX: Create frozen copies of passed in config where possible
* FIX: extract start_reset method and remove method used by tests

Zeitwerk simplifies working with dependencies in dev and makes it easier reloading class chains.
We no longer need to use Rails "require_dependency" anywhere and instead can just use standard
Ruby patterns to require files.
This is a far reaching change and we expect some followups here.
This can cause unbound CPU usage in some cases, and excessive logging in other cases. This commit moves redis readonly information into the local process, but maintains the DistributedCache for postgres readonly state.
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
As per the documentation for KEYS
```
Warning: consider KEYS as a command that should only be used in production environments with extreme care. It may ruin performance when it is executed against large databases. This command is intended for debugging and special operations, such as changing your keyspace layout.
```
Instead SCAN
```
Since these commands allow for incremental iteration, returning only a small number of elements per call, they can be used in production without the downside of commands like KEYS or SMEMBERS that may block the server for a long time (even several seconds) when called against big collections of keys or elements.
```
