Figuring out what unread topics a user has is a very expensive
operation over time.
Users can easily accumulate 10s of thousands of tracking state rows
(1 for every topic they ever visit)
When figuring out what a user has that is unread we need to join
the tracking state records to the topic table. This can very quickly
lead to cases where you need to scan through the entire topic table.
This commit optimises it so we always keep track of the "first" date
a user has unread topics. Then we can easily filter out all earlier
topics from the join.
We use pg functions, instead of nested queries here to assist the
planner.
- Regular users are not notified of whispers
- Regular users no longer have "stuck" topics in unread
- Additional tracking for staff highest post number
- Remove a bunch of unused columns in topics table
FEATURE: clicking envelope takes you to inbox
Suggested messages works somewhat like suggested topics.
- New show up first (in either group inbox or inbox)
- Then unread (in either group inbox or inbox)
- Finally "related" which are messages with same participants as the current pm.
Messages are now in 3 buckets
- Inbox for all new messages
- Sent for all sent messages
- Archive for all messages you are done with
You can select messages from your Inbox or Sent and move them to your Archive,
you can move messages out of your Archive similarly
Similar concept applied to group messages, except that archiving and unarchiving
will apply to all group members
Old query used to scan the full topics table, on home page
Instead we now perform 2 queries, one for pinned and one for unpinned and merge
results in a 10x improvement on a 1 million topic DB
With this change, the EXPLAIN on the topic query is reduced in cost, and
script/bench.rb results are improved.
Explain topic query, cost at root level:
cost=641.84..641.92 --> cost=570.03..570.11

Changed internals so trust levels are referred to with
TrustLevel[1], TrustLevel[2] etc.
This gives us much better flexibility naming trust levels, these names
are meant to be controlled by various communities.
Now is actually topics that you have posted in - previously, it was all topics you had tracked, starred, posted, read, ....
No clue how that came about.
- Move SQL method constants into a module
- Removed unused count methods
- Moved methods that don't return a TopicList into Topic
- Replaced some confusing method signatures
in the past new topics were not prioritizing current category and
new topics in a category were not being inserted before other unread topics
in other categories
