When enabling the account validity feature, Synapse will look at startup for registered account without an expiration date, and will set one equals to 'now + validity_period' for them. On large servers, it can mean that a large number of users will have the same expiration date, which means that they will all be sent a renewal email at the same time, which isn't ideal.
In order to mitigate this, this PR allows server admins to define a 'max_delta' so that the expiration date is a random value in the [now + validity_period ; now + validity_period + max_delta] range. This allows renewal emails to be progressively sent over a configured period instead of being sent all in one big batch.
If account validity is enabled in the server's configuration, this job will run at startup as a background job and will stick an expiration date to any registered account missing one.
Hopefully this time we really will fix#4422.
We need to make sure that the cache on
`get_rooms_for_user_with_stream_ordering` is invalidated *before* the
SyncHandler is notified for the new events, and we can now do so reliably via
the `events` stream.
Currently whenever the current state changes in a room invalidate a lot
of caches, which cause *a lot* of traffic over replication. Instead,
lets batch up all those invalidations and send a single poke down
the replication streams.
Hopefully this will reduce load on the master process by substantially
reducing traffic.
Add more tables to the list of tables which need a background update to
complete before we can upsert into them, which fixes a race against the
background updates.
We need to run the errback in the sentinel context to avoid losing our own
context.
Also: add logging to runInteraction to help identify where "Starting db
connection from sentinel context" warnings are coming from
The psycopg2 package isn't available for PyPy. This commit adds a check
if the runtime is PyPy, and if it is uses psycopg2cffi module in favor
of psycopg2. This is almost a drop-in replacement, except for one place
where an additional cast to string is required.
We poked the notifier before updated the current token for the cache
invalidation stream. This mean that sometimes the update wouldn't be
sent until the next time a cache was invalidated.
For each request, track the amount of time spent waiting for a db
connection. This entails adding it to the LoggingContext and we may as well add
metrics for it while we are passing.
wrap the call to _simple_upsert_txn in a loop so that we retry on an
integrityerror: this means we can avoid locking the table provided there is an
unique index.
Add db_conn parameters to the `__init__` methods of the *Store classes, so that
they are all consistent, which makes the multiple inheritance work correctly
(and so that we can later extract mixins which can be used in the slavedstores)
This is due to the fact that we prefilled caches using txn.call_after,
which always gets called including on error.
We fix this by making txn.call_after only fire when a transaction
completes successfully, which is what we want most of the time anyway.
administrators can now:
- Set displayname of users
- Update user avatars
- Search for users by user_id
- Browse all users in a paginated API
- Reset user passwords
- Deactivate users
Helpers for doing paginated queries has also been added to storage

Some tables, like device_inbox, take a long time to query at startup for
the stream change cache prefills. This is likely because they are slower
growing streams and so are more fragmented on disk. For now, lets pull
fewer entries out to make startup quicker.
In future, we should add a better index to make it even faster.
Allows server admins to "deactivate" accounts, which:
- Revokes all access tokens
- Removes all threepids
- Removes password
The API is a POST to `/admin/deactivate/<user_id>`
This is for setting up dependencies that require work on startup. This
is useful for the DataStore that wants to read a bunch from the database
before initiliazing.
