Fix historical messages backfilling in random order on remote homeservers (MSC2716) (#11114) Fix https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11091 Fix https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10764 (side-stepping the issue because we no longer have to deal with `fake_prev_event_id`) 1. Made the `/backfill` response return messages in `(depth, stream_ordering)` order (previously only sorted by `depth`) - Technically, it shouldn't really matter how `/backfill` returns things but I'm just trying to make the `stream_ordering` a little more consistent from the origin to the remote homeservers in order to get the order of messages from `/messages` consistent ([sorted by `(topological_ordering, stream_ordering)`](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/development/room-dag-concepts.md#depth-and-stream-ordering)). - Even now that we return backfilled messages in order, it still doesn't guarantee the same `stream_ordering` (and more importantly the [`/messages` order](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/development/room-dag-concepts.md#depth-and-stream-ordering)) on the other server. For example, if a room has a bunch of history imported and someone visits a permalink to a historical message back in time, their homeserver will skip over the historical messages in between and insert the permalink as the next message in the `stream_order` and totally throw off the sort. - This will be even more the case when we add the [MSC3030 jump to date API endpoint](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3030) so the static archives can navigate and jump to a certain date. - We're solving this in the future by switching to [online topological ordering](https://github.com/matrix-org/gomatrixserverlib/issues/187) and [chunking](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/3785) which by its nature will apply retroactively to fix any inconsistencies introduced by people permalinking 2. As we're navigating `prev_events` to return in `/backfill`, we order by `depth` first (newest -> oldest) and now also tie-break based on the `stream_ordering` (newest -> oldest). This is technically important because MSC2716 inserts a bunch of historical messages at the same `depth` so it's best to be prescriptive about which ones we should process first. In reality, I think the code already looped over the historical messages as expected because the database is already in order. 3.

Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11091 and https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10764 4. We no longer find connected insertion events by finding a potential `prev_event` connection to the current event we're iterating over.

Fix historical messages backfilling in random order on remote homeservers (MSC2716) (#11114) Fix https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11091 Fix https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10764 (side-stepping the issue because we no longer have to deal with `fake_prev_event_id`) 1. Made the `/backfill` response return messages in `(depth, stream_ordering)` order (previously only sorted by `depth`) - Technically, it shouldn't really matter how `/backfill` returns things but I'm just trying to make the `stream_ordering` a little more consistent from the origin to the remote homeservers in order to get the order of messages from `/messages` consistent ([sorted by `(topological_ordering, stream_ordering)`](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/development/room-dag-concepts.md#depth-and-stream-ordering)). - Even now that we return backfilled messages in order, it still doesn't guarantee the same `stream_ordering` (and more importantly the [`/messages` order](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/development/room-dag-concepts.md#depth-and-stream-ordering)) on the other server. For example, if a room has a bunch of history imported and someone visits a permalink to a historical message back in time, their homeserver will skip over the historical messages in between and insert the permalink as the next message in the `stream_order` and totally throw off the sort. - This will be even more the case when we add the [MSC3030 jump to date API endpoint](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3030) so the static archives can navigate and jump to a certain date. - We're solving this in the future by switching to [online topological ordering](https://github.com/matrix-org/gomatrixserverlib/issues/187) and [chunking](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/3785) which by its nature will apply retroactively to fix any inconsistencies introduced by people permalinking 2. As we're navigating `prev_events` to return in `/backfill`, we order by `depth` first (newest -> oldest) and now also tie-break based on the `stream_ordering` (newest -> oldest). This is technically important because MSC2716 inserts a bunch of historical messages at the same `depth` so it's best to be prescriptive about which ones we should process first. In reality, I think the code already looped over the historical messages as expected because the database is already in order. 3.

Resolve and share `state_groups` for all historical events in batch (MSC2716) (#10975) Resolve and share `state_groups` for all historical events in batch. This also helps for showing the appropriate avatar/displayname in Element and will work whenever `/messages` has one of the historical messages as the first message in the batch. This does have the flaw where if you just insert a single historical event somewhere, it probably won't resolve the state correctly from `/messages` or `/context` since it will grab a non historical event above or below with resolved state which never included the historical state back then. For the same reasions, this also does not work in Element between the transition from actual messages to historical messages.

Fix historical messages backfilling in random order on remote homeservers (MSC2716) (#11114) Fix https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11091 Fix https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10764 (side-stepping the issue because we no longer have to deal with `fake_prev_event_id`) 1. Made the `/backfill` response return messages in `(depth, stream_ordering)` order (previously only sorted by `depth`) - Technically, it shouldn't really matter how `/backfill` returns things but I'm just trying to make the `stream_ordering` a little more consistent from the origin to the remote homeservers in order to get the order of messages from `/messages` consistent ([sorted by `(topological_ordering, stream_ordering)`](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/development/room-dag-concepts.md#depth-and-stream-ordering)). - Even now that we return backfilled messages in order, it still doesn't guarantee the same `stream_ordering` (and more importantly the [`/messages` order](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/development/room-dag-concepts.md#depth-and-stream-ordering)) on the other server. For example, if a room has a bunch of history imported and someone visits a permalink to a historical message back in time, their homeserver will skip over the historical messages in between and insert the permalink as the next message in the `stream_order` and totally throw off the sort. - This will be even more the case when we add the [MSC3030 jump to date API endpoint](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3030) so the static archives can navigate and jump to a certain date. - We're solving this in the future by switching to [online topological ordering](https://github.com/matrix-org/gomatrixserverlib/issues/187) and [chunking](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/3785) which by its nature will apply retroactively to fix any inconsistencies introduced by people permalinking 2. As we're navigating `prev_events` to return in `/backfill`, we order by `depth` first (newest -> oldest) and now also tie-break based on the `stream_ordering` (newest -> oldest). This is technically important because MSC2716 inserts a bunch of historical messages at the same `depth` so it's best to be prescriptive about which ones we should process first. In reality, I think the code already looped over the historical messages as expected because the database is already in order. 3. Making the historical state chain and historical event chain float on their own by having no `prev_events` instead of a fake `prev_event` which caused backfill to get clogged with an unresolvable event. Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11091 and https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10764 4. We no longer find connected insertion events by finding a potential `prev_event` connection to the current event we're iterating over. We now solely rely on marker events which when processed, add the insertion event as an extremity and the federating homeserver can ask about it when time calls. - Related discussion, https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/11114#discussion_r741514793 Before | After --- | --- ![](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/558581/139218681-b465c862-5c49-4702-a59e-466733b0cf45.png) | ![](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/558581/146453159-a1609e0a-8324-439d-ae44-e4bce43ac6d1.png) #### Why aren't we sorting topologically when receiving backfill events? > The main reason we're going to opt to not sort topologically when receiving backfill events is because it's probably best to do whatever is easiest to make it just work. People will probably have opinions once they look at [MSC2716](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2716) which could change whatever implementation anyway. > > As mentioned, ideally we would do this but code necessary to make the fake edges but it gets confusing and gives an impression of “just whyyyy” (feels icky). This problem also dissolves with online topological ordering. > > -- https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/11114#discussion_r741517138 See https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/11114#discussion_r739610091 for the technical difficulties

Resolve and share `state_groups` for all historical events in batch (MSC2716) (#10975) Resolve and share `state_groups` for all historical events in batch. This also helps for showing the appropriate avatar/displayname in Element and will work whenever `/messages` has one of the historical messages as the first message in the batch. This does have the flaw where if you just insert a single historical event somewhere, it probably won't resolve the state correctly from `/messages` or `/context` since it will grab a non historical event above or below with resolved state which never included the historical state back then. For the same reasions, this also does not work in Element between the transition from actual messages to historical messages. In the Gitter case, this isn't really a problem since all of the historical messages are in one big lump at the beginning of the room. For a future iteration, might be good to look at `/messages` and `/context` to additionally add the `state` for any historical messages in that batch. --- How are the `state_groups` shared?
