@buffless-matt buffless-matt commented May 23, 2022

Description

This PR adds a storage method that is similar to the pre-existing get_monthly_active_count_by_service, but different in the following ways:

  • The new method does not group and count users under appservices. I.e. It returns each active user individually.
  • The new method has optional timestamp filtration capability.

There is also an added module API method that plumbs into the new storage method (so that it is accessible via the module API).

The purpose of this PR is to be able to identify individual active users (and not just counts of grouped users). There are more details (about the purpose) available to those who have permission to view the linked issue/comment below.

Pull Request Checklist

  • Pull request is based on the develop branch
  • Pull request includes a changelog file. The entry should:
    • Be a short description of your change which makes sense to users. "Fixed a bug that prevented receiving messages from other servers." instead of "Moved X method from EventStore to EventWorkerStore.".
    • Use markdown where necessary, mostly for code blocks.
    • End with either a period (.) or an exclamation mark (!).
    • Start with a capital letter.
    • Feel free to credit yourself, by adding a sentence "Contributed by @github_username." or "Contributed by [Your Name]." to the end of the entry.
  • Code style is correct
    (run the linters)

Can we just return null if there isn't an appservice? It saves having to use a magic string

We could live with that, but the pre-existing get_monthly_active_count_by_service method (which this new method is modelled on) is emitting "native". Is that precedent enough to warrant the magic string in this PR, or would you still prefer to drop it?

Oh interesting, fair enough then. I think it probably does make more sense to be consistent then

at or before this point

Returns:
A list of tuples (appservice_id, user_id)

Can you document what is returned for appservice_id if the user isn't from an appservice? (As per below I think we should return None in that case)

I was hoping this sentence would alleviate the need to repeat what is mentioned in get_monthly_active_count_by_service, but for the sake of reducing the coupling between the two docstrings, I've added it here: 95accd8

Ah, I see. I think the docstring should either document the return values fully, or not at all.

@erikjohnston thank you for the review (I appreciate it).

What needs to happen now to get this merged?

I notice there are some CI failures, but I don't think they are my doing. The failures appear unrelated to my patch and it seems like other PRs are having similar issues.

@buffless-matt Hmm, CI failed and so the auto-merge didn't trigger. The CI failure looked unrelated to this PR, so I've merged in develop to see if that was the issue.

- Fix up the variable `state_store` naming. ([\matrix-org#12871](matrix-org#12871))
- Faster room joins: when querying the current state of the room, wait for state to be populated. ([\matrix-org#12872](matrix-org#12872))
- Avoid running queries which will never result in deletions. ([\matrix-org#12879](matrix-org#12879))

Synapse 1.61.0 (2022-06-14)
===========================

This release removes support for the non-standard feature known both as 'groups' and as 'communities', which have been superseded by *Spaces*.

Synapse 1.61.0rc1 (2022-06-07)
==============================

Features
--------

- Add new `media_retention` options to the homeserver config for routinely cleaning up non-recently accessed media. ([\#12732](matrix-org/synapse#12732), [\#12972](matrix-org/synapse#12972), [\#12977](matrix-org/synapse#12977))
- Experimental support for [MSC3772](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3772): Push rule for mutually related events. ([\#12740](matrix-org/synapse#12740), [\#12859](matrix-org/synapse#12859))

- Support the new error code `ORG.MATRIX.MSC3823.USER_ACCOUNT_SUSPENDED` from [MSC3823](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3823). ([\#12845](matrix-org/synapse#12845), [\#12923](matrix-org/synapse#12923))

- Allow updating a user's password using the admin API without logging out their devices. Contributed by @jcgruenhage. ([\#12952](matrix-org/synapse#12952))


Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------

- Remove support for the non-standard groups/communities feature from Synapse. ([\#12553](matrix-org/synapse#12553), [\#12558](matrix-org/synapse#12558), [\#12563](matrix-org/synapse#12563), [\#12895](matrix-org/synapse#12895), [\#12897](matrix-org/synapse#12897), [\#12899](matrix-org/synapse#12899), [\#12900](matrix-org/synapse#12900), [\#12936](matrix-org/synapse#12936), [\#12966](matrix-org/synapse#12966))
- Remove contributed `kick_users.py` script. This is broken under Python 3, and is not added to the environment when `pip install`ing Synapse. ([\#12908](matrix-org/synapse#12908))



Synapse 1.60.0 (2022-05-31)
===========================

This release of Synapse adds a unique index to the `state_group_edges` table, in
order to prevent accidentally introducing duplicate information (for example,
because a database backup was restored multiple times). If your Synapse database
already has duplicate rows in this table, this could fail with an error and
require manual remediation.

Additionally, the signature of the `check_event_for_spam` module callback has changed.
The previous signature has been deprecated and remains working for now. Module authors
should update their modules to use the new signature where possible.


Synapse 1.60.0rc2 (2022-05-27)
==============================

Features
--------

- Add an option allowing users to use their password to reauthenticate for privileged actions even though password login is disabled. ([\#12883](matrix-org/synapse#12883))


Synapse 1.60.0rc1 (2022-05-24)
==============================

Features
--------

- Measure the time taken in spam-checking callbacks and expose those measurements as metrics. ([\#12513](matrix-org/synapse#12513))
- Add a `default_power_level_content_override` config option to set default room power levels per room preset. ([\#12618](matrix-org/synapse#12618))
- Add support for [MSC3787: Allowing knocks to restricted rooms](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3787). ([\#12623](matrix-org/synapse#12623))
- Send `USER_IP` commands on a different Redis channel, in order to reduce traffic to workers that do not process these commands. ([\#12672](matrix-org/synapse#12672), [\#12809](matrix-org/synapse#12809))
- Synapse will now reload [cache config](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html#caching) when it receives a [SIGHUP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIGHUP) signal. ([\#12673](matrix-org/synapse#12673))
- Add a config options to allow for auto-tuning of caches. ([\#12701](matrix-org/synapse#12701))
- Update [MSC2716](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2716) implementation to process marker events from the current state to avoid markers being lost in timeline gaps for federated servers which would cause the imported history to be undiscovered. ([\#12718](matrix-org/synapse#12718))
- Add a `drop_federated_event` callback to `SpamChecker` to disregard inbound federated events before they take up much processing power, in an emergency. ([\#12744](matrix-org/synapse#12744))
- Implement [MSC3818: Copy room type on upgrade](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3818). ([\#12786](matrix-org/synapse#12786), [\#12792](matrix-org/synapse#12792))
- Update to the `check_event_for_spam` module callback. Deprecate the current callback signature, replace it with a new signature that is both less ambiguous (replacing booleans with explicit allow/block) and more powerful (ability to return explicit error codes). ([\#12808](matrix-org/synapse#12808))


Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------

- Require a body in POST requests to `/rooms/{roomId}/receipt/{receiptType}/{eventId}`, as required by the [Matrix specification](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.2/client-server-api/#post_matrixclientv3roomsroomidreceiptreceipttypeeventid). This breaks compatibility with Element Android 1.2.0 and earlier: users of those clients will be unable to send read receipts. ([\#12709](matrix-org/synapse#12709))



Synapse 1.59.1 (2022-05-18)
===========================

This release fixes a long-standing issue which could prevent Synapse's user directory for updating properly.


Synapse 1.59.0 (2022-05-17)
===========================

Synapse 1.59 makes several changes that server administrators should be aware of:

- Device name lookup over federation is now disabled by default. ([\#12616](matrix-org/synapse#12616))
- The `synapse.app.appservice` and `synapse.app.user_dir` worker application types are now deprecated. ([\#12452](matrix-org/synapse#12452), [\#12654](matrix-org/synapse#12654))

Additionally, this release removes the non-standard `m.login.jwt` login type from Synapse. It can be replaced with `org.matrix.login.jwt` for identical behaviour. This is only used if `jwt_config.enabled` is set to `true` in the configuration. ([\#12597](matrix-org/synapse#12597))


Synapse 1.59.0rc2 (2022-05-16)
==============================


Synapse 1.59.0rc1 (2022-05-10)
==============================

Features
--------

- Support [MSC3266](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3266) room summaries over federation. ([\#11507](matrix-org/synapse#11507))
- Implement [changes](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals@4a77139) to [MSC2285 (hidden read receipts)](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2285). Contributed by @SimonBrandner. ([\#12168](matrix-org/synapse#12168), [\#12635](matrix-org/synapse#12635), [\#12636](matrix-org/synapse#12636), [\#12670](matrix-org/synapse#12670))
- Extend the [module API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.59/synapse/module_api/__init__.py) to allow modules to change actions for existing push rules of local users. ([\#12406](matrix-org/synapse#12406))
- Add the `notify_appservices_from_worker` configuration option (superseding `notify_appservices`) to allow a generic worker to be designated as the worker to send traffic to Application Services. ([\#12452](matrix-org/synapse#12452))
