Remove `@preserve_fn` decorators on `on_new_room_event`,
`_notify_pending_new_room_events`, `_on_new_room_event`, `on_new_event`, and
`on_new_replication_data` - none of these functions return a deferred, and the
decorator does nothing unless the wrapped function returns a deferred, so the
decorator was a no-op.
There was a race condition that caused the notifier to 'miss' the
timeout notification, since there were no other checks for the timeout
this caused listeners to get stuck in a loop until something happened.
This is for two reasons:
1. Suppresses duplicates correctly, as the notifier doesn't do any
duplicate suppression.
2. Makes it easier to connect the AppserviceHandler to the replication
stream.
Change how the notifier updates the map from room_id to user streams on
receiving a join event. Make it update the map when it notifies for the
join event, rather than using the "user_joined_room" distributor signal
Access it directly from the homeserver itself. It already wasn't
inheriting from BaseHandler storing it on the Handlers object was
already somewhat dubious.
pycharm supports them so there is no need to use the other format.
Might as well convert the existing strings to reduce the risk of
people accidentally cargo culting the wrong doc string format.
synapse
This is necessary for replicating the data in synapse to be visible to a
separate service because presence and typing notifications aren't stored
in a database so won't be visible to another process.
This API can be used to either get the raw data by requesting the tables
themselves or to just receive notifications for updates by following the
streams meta-stream.
Returns updates for each table requested a JSON array of arrays with a
row for each row in the table.
Each table is prefixed by a header row with the: name of the table,
current stream_id position for the table, number of rows, number of
columns and the names of the columns.
This is followed by the rows that have been added to the server since
the requester last asked.
The API has a timeout and is hooked up to the notifier so that a slave
can long poll for updates.
Erroring causes problems when people make illegal requests, because they
don't know what limit parameter they should pass.
This is definitely buggy. It leaks message counts for rooms people don't
have permission to see, via tokens. But apparently we already
consciously decided to allow that as a team, so this preserves that
behaviour.
