This previously was a hot path in topic view. Avoids an expensive active
record operation and instead perform SQL directly which is far more
targeted and efficient
This was a fairly serious regression on sites with large (mega) topics,
however it was limited to staff.
The issue here is the query was using filtered_post_ids which I'd
assumed was already windowed to the current page, when in fact it was
all the ids in the topic. This fix corrects it by using the correct
windowed collection.
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
This change shows a notification number besides the flag icon in the
post menu if there is reviewable content associated with the post.
Additionally, if there is pending stuff to review, the icon has a red
background.
We have also removed the list of links below a post with the flag
status. A reviewer is meant to click the number beside the flag icon to
view the flags. As a consequence of losing those links, we've removed
the ability to undo or ignore flags below a post.
Includes support for flags, reviewable users and queued posts, with REST API
backwards compatibility.

When a new post is triggered via message bus post stream will attempt to load
it, previously the `/topic/TOPIC_ID/posts.json` would unconditionally include
suggested topics, this caused excessive load on the server.
New pattern defaults to exclude suggested and related topics from this API
unless people explicitly ask for suggested.
Historically due to https://meta.discourse.org/t/why-is-discourse-so-slow-on-android/8823
we decreased page sizes of both home page and topic page on android by half.
This was done on the server side and as a side effect and caused page sizes on android
to mismatch between Android and non Android.
Unfortunately about a year ago googlebot started pretending it is Android,
this cause Google to start indexing pages as what android would see. So
it saw double the amount of pages in the index as what exists on desktop.
This in turn caused double the amount of indexing work and a large amount
of broken links on long topics.
This fix removes all special behavior which is no longer needed due to
other performance work in Discourse including raw handlebars on home page
and virtual dom on topic pages.
I tested we do not need this on Blu Advance 5.0 it has 1.3 GHZ mediatec mt6580
This phone retails for around $50 USD.
If we decide long term that we want any hacks like this we will shift them
to the client side. It can just hold data in memory without rendering.
Previously in some cases we would queue logging of invalid post numbers
The impact would be we would miss logging an incoming link and would leak
an error.
Based on our current implementation, there isn't a
practical way to determine the gaps of large topics
cheaply. We tried to load the gaps in chunks but felt
that the code becomes too complicated. Note that
megatopics are quite rare in the wild.
The logic is too hairy and we can't reliably determine
when to force summary mode. Work is underway to improve
perf for megatopics so this will not be required
eventually.
Introduce new patterns for direct sql that are safe and fast.
MiniSql is not prone to memory bloat that can happen with direct PG usage.
It also has an extremely fast materializer and very a convenient API
- DB.exec(sql, *params) => runs sql returns row count
- DB.query(sql, *params) => runs sql returns usable objects (not a hash)
- DB.query_hash(sql, *params) => runs sql returns an array of hashes
- DB.query_single(sql, *params) => runs sql and returns a flat one dimensional array
- DB.build(sql) => returns a sql builder

There was a timing issue when subscribing to messages for topics.
Old flow:
- We generate JSON for topic
- We subscribe to messages for topic
New flow:
- We keep track of last id in the topic message bus channel
- We generate JSON
- We subscribe to messages for topic starting at saved message id
This ensures that there is complete overlap for message consumption
and that there are no cases where an update may go missing due to timing
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.
