The idea is to remove some of the places we pass around `int`, where it can represent one of two things:
1. the position of an event in the stream; or
2. a token that partitions the stream, used as part of the stream tokens.
The valid operations are then:
1. did a position happen before or after a token;
2. get all events that happened before or after a token; and
3. get all events between two tokens.
(Note that we don't want to allow other operations as we want to change the tokens to be vector clocks rather than simple ints)

Instead of just using the most recent extremities let's pick the
ones that will give us results that the pagination request cares about,
i.e. pick extremities only if they have a smaller depth than the
pagination token.
This is useful when we fail to backfill an extremity, as we no longer
get stuck requesting that same extremity repeatedly.
slots use less memory (and attribute access is faster) while slightly
limiting the flexibility of the class attributes. This focuses on objects
which are instantiated "often" and for short periods of time.
This is *not* ready for production yet. Caveats:
1. We should write some tests...
2. The stream token that we use for events can get stalled at the minimum position of all writers. This means that new events may not be processed and e.g. sent down sync streams if a writer isn't writing or is slow.
The idea here is that we pass the `max_stream_id` to everything, and only use the stream ID of the particular event to figure out *when* the max stream position has caught up to the event and we can notify people about it.
This is to maintain the distinction between the position of an item in the stream (i.e. event A has stream ID 513) and a token that can be used to partition the stream (i.e. give me all events after stream ID 352). This distinction becomes important when the tokens are more complicated than a single number, which they will be once we start tracking the position of multiple writers in the tokens.
The valid operations here are:
1. Is a position before or after a token
2. Fetching all events between two tokens
3. Merging multiple tokens to get the "max", i.e. `C = max(A, B)` means that for all positions P where P is before A *or* before B, then P is before C.
Future PR will change the token type to a dedicated type.
`pusher_pool.on_new_notifications` expected a min and max stream ID, however that was not what we were passing in. Instead, let's just pass it the current max stream ID and have it track the last stream ID it got passed.
I believe that it mostly worked as we called the function for every event. However, it would break for events that got persisted out of order, i.e, that were persisted but the max stream ID wasn't incremented as not all preceding events had finished persisting, and push for that event would be delayed until another event got pushed to the effected users.
This is *not* ready for production yet. Caveats:
1. We should write some tests...
2. The stream token that we use for events can get stalled at the minimum position of all writers. This means that new events may not be processed and e.g. sent down sync streams if a writer isn't writing or is slow.
The replication client requires that arguments are given as keyword
arguments, which was not done in this case. We also pull out the logic
so that we can catch and handle any exceptions raised, rather than
leaving them unhandled.
When fetching the state of a room over federation we receive the event
IDs of the state and auth chain. We then fetch those events that we
don't already have.
However, we used a function that recursively fetched any missing auth
events for the fetched events, which can lead to a lot of recursion if
the server is missing most of the auth chain. This work is entirely
pointless because would have queued up the missing events in the auth
chain to be fetched already.
Let's just diable the recursion, since it only gets called from one
place anyway.
State res v2 across large data sets can be very CPU intensive, and if
all the relevant events are in the cache the algorithm will run from
start to finish within a single reactor tick. This can result in
blocking the reactor tick for several seconds, which can have major
repercussions on other requests.
To fix this we simply add the occaisonal `sleep(0)` during iterations to
yield execution until the next reactor tick. The aim is to only do this
for large data sets so that we don't impact otherwise quick resolutions.=
Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/2431
Adds config option `encryption_enabled_by_default_for_room_type`, which determines whether encryption should be enabled with the default encryption algorithm in private or public rooms upon creation. Whether the room is private or public is decided based upon the room creation preset that is used.
Part of this PR is also pulling out all of the individual instances of `m.megolm.v1.aes-sha2` into a constant variable to eliminate typos ala https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/7637
Based on #7637
The idea here is that if an instance persists an event via the replication HTTP API it can return before we receive that event over replication, which can lead to races where code assumes that persisting an event immediately updates various caches (e.g. current state of the room).
Most of Synapse doesn't hit such races, so we don't do the waiting automagically, instead we do so where necessary to avoid unnecessary delays. We may decide to change our minds here if it turns out there are a lot of subtle races going on.
People probably want to look at this commit by commit.
When we get an invite over federation, store the room version in the rooms table.
The general idea here is that, when we pull the invite out again, we'll want to know what room_version it belongs to (so that we can later redact it if need be). So we need to store it somewhere...
This is intended as a precursor to storing room versions when we receive an
invite over federation, but has the happy side-effect of fixing #3374 at last.
In short: change the store_room with try/except to a proper upsert which
updates the right columns.
