      EPR5Type.CopySupport: Only delete activities for deleted document which can be safely deleted. · 820d2fd1
      Vincent Pelletier authored
      Safe activities are:
      - those which are not visible outside current transaction (IOW, queued
        in activity buffer)
      - those which are already marked as failed, as no activity node will try
        to process these
      Other activities may already be running.
      Note: deleting even failed activities may violate activity dependencies
      (other activities may be waiting on the ones being deleted, even those
      not spawned yet), but if this is an issue then some other code should
      take care of these as well.
      Also, rework a CMFActivity test checking that activties already-spawned on
      a later-deleted context get discarded instead of being executed: previous
      implementation was working around the activity deletion removed in this commit.
      Also, test indexation/unindexation parallelism.

      CMFActivity.ActivityTool: Use uid for identity check instead of oid. · 06aee0c2
      Vincent Pelletier authored
      uids are a way one can signal that different objects (from a ZODB point of
      view, and hence an oid point of view) are actually to be considered as the
      same objet (from a higher abstration point of view). For example, another
      variant of the same object, as imported over an older variant.
      In turn, this allows extending the protection to activities spawned from
      brains, and not just from live objects.

      CMFActivity: Ignore None dependencies. · e598da95
      Vincent Pelletier authored
      Simplifies activity spawning when dependencies are conditionally set:
        activate(
          after_tag=some_value if some_condition else None,
        )
      instead of having to do a ** dance.
      All columns involved in dependency checking are declared NOT NULL, so providing
      "None" and expecting a dependency to happen was already not working.
      This change pushes this one step further by allowing activity
      auto-validation also happen on these activities.
      Also, simplify getOrderValidationText: avoid iterating on keys and then
      retrieving values, use a list-comprehension, simplify condition.
      Add a test for after_tag, also covering activity auto-validation.

      qa: fix test_getServerAddress (testCMFActivity) · c335c68f
      Julien Muchembled authored
      With recent changes in CMFActivity, getServerAddress is now used
      when setting up the site, before the ZServer is started, which means:
      - getServerAddress memoized a wrong return value;
      - the test didn't fail with --load.

      CMFActivity: new activate() parameter to prefer executing on the same node · 301962ad
      Julien Muchembled authored
      The goal is to make better use of the ZODB Storage cache. It is common to do
      processing on a data set in several sequential transactions: in such case, by
      continuing execution of these messages on the same node, data is loaded from
      ZODB only once. Without this, and if there are many other messages to process,
      processing always continue on a random node, causing much more load from ZODB.
      
      To prevent nodes from having too much work to do, or too little compared to
      other nodes, this new parameter is only a hint for CMFActivity. It remains
      possible for a node to execute a message that was intended for another node.
      
      Before this commit, a processing node selects the first message(s) according to
      the following ordering:
      
        priority, date
      
      and now:
      
        priority, node_preference, date
      
      where node_preference is:
      
        -1 -> same node
         0 -> no preferred node
         1 -> another node
      
      The implementation is tricky for 2 reasons:
      - MariaDB can't order this way in a single simple query, so we have 1
        subquery for each case, potentially getting 3 times the wanted maximum of
        messages, then order/filter on the resulting union.
      - MariaDB also can't filter efficiently messages for other nodes, so the 3rd
        subquery returns messages for any node, potentially duplicating results from
        the first 2 subqueries. This works because they'll be ordered last.
        Unfortunately, this requires extra indices.
      
      In any case, message reservation must be very efficient, or MariaDB deadlocks
      quickly happen, and locking an activity table during reservation reduces
      parallelism too much.
      
      In addition to better cache efficiency, this new feature can be used as a
      workaround for a bug affecting serialiation_tag, causing IntegrityError when
      reindexing many new objects. If you have 2 recursive reindexations for both a
      document and one of its lines, and if you have so many messages than grouping
      is split between these 2 messages, then you end up with 2 nodes indexing the
      same line in parallel: for some tables, the pattern DELETE+INSERT conflicts
      since InnoDB does not take any lock when deleting a non-existent row.
      
      If you have many activities creating such documents, you can combine with
      grouping and appropriate priority to make sure that such pair of messages won't
      be executed on different nodes, except maybe at the end (when there's no
      document to create anymore; then activity reexecution may be enough).
      For example:
      
        from Products.CMFActivity.ActivityTool import getCurrentNode
        portal.setPlacelessDefaultReindexParameters(
          activate_kw={'node': 'same', 'priority': priority},
          group_id=getCurrentNode())
      
      where `priority` is the same as the activity containing the above code, which
      can also use grouping without increasing the probability of IntegrityError.

      CMFActivity: Stop deleting duplicates during SQLDict.distribute · d0472bc2
      Vincent Pelletier authored
      Duplicate message detection is not good enough: different messages with
      the same unicity value may bear different serialization_tags. This code
      does not takes this into account, which can lead to deleting such tagged
      message and validate an untagged one, which breaks serialization_tag
      contract of preventing any further activity validation until execution
      of all such-tagged validated activities is successful.
      Also, it is not validation's node job to deduplicate: it can happen during
      message execution without slowing down this crucial (performance-wise)
      activity node.
      As a result, distribute methods of SQLDict and SQLQueue can be factorised.

      testCMFActivity: Ignore "processing" column value. · 9ac52814
      Vincent Pelletier authored
      This column is not a significant condition for this test. It is an
      unreliable transient piece of information intended for a human observer
      monitoring activity execution. processing_node is the reliable piece of
      information this test should care about.

      CMFActivity: slightly delay non-executed grouped messages · c85a840f
      Julien Muchembled authored
      When grouped messages fail, ActivityTool must distinguish 3 groups,
      in order to reexecute them separately, as follows:
      - first, those that succeeded
      - then, those that were skipped
      - at last, failed ones
      
      Grouping methods are updated to handle partial failures, and stop doing
      anything when something goes wrong.
      
      Without this, we would have the following pathological cases.
      
      1. Let's suppose first that skipped messages are marked as succeeded.
      
      The problem is that each skipped message that will fail causes the reexecution
      of those that didn't fail.
      
      Exemple: A:ok B:ok C:err D:err E:err F:err
        1: A:ok, B:ok, C:err, D:skipped, E:skipped, F:skipped
        2: A:ok, B:ok, D:err, E:skipped, F:skipped
        3: A:ok, B:ok, E:err, F:skipped
        4: A:ok, B:ok, F:err
        5: A:ok, B:ok -> commit
      
      And worst, the first failed (C) may be processable again before 5, entering
      a failing loop if it is executed again in the same group as A & B.
      
      2. Another implementation is to mark all skipped as failed.
      
      Example:
        1: A:ok, B:ok, C:err, D:skipped, E:skipped, F:skipped
        2: A:ok, B:ok -> commit
        3: C:err, D:skipped, E:skipped, F:skipped
       >3: same as 3
      
      => D, E or F are never tried.

      CMFActivity: automatic migration of queues and removal of button to recreate tables · 3d644bde
      Julien Muchembled authored
      The action to recreate activity tables while preserving existing messages
      was unsafe for 2 reasons:
      - if any error happened, messages could be lost
      - it relied on Message.reactivate
      
      Which this patch, any instance created after commit d881edd1 (Aug 2010) will
      upgrade successfully. For older instances, make sure you have no activity left.
      
      For cases where 'ALTER TABLE' would not work, a better way to implement repair
      functionality would be:
      - one action to backup all messages in ZODB
      - and another to restore them
      And maybe a security so that during the backup-clear-restore sequence,
      activities can't be created nor processed.
      
      If any column is added in the future, it would still be possible to write code
      that fills them by inspecting messages.
