bgneal@509 2 This module maintains the latest posts datastore. The latest posts are often
bgneal@509 3 needed by RSS feeds, "latest posts" template tags, etc. This module listens for
bgneal@509 4 the post_content_update signal, then bundles the post up and stores it by forum
bgneal@509 5 ID in Redis. We also maintain a combined forums list. This allows quick
bgneal@509 6 retrieval of the latest posts and avoids some slow SQL queries.
bgneal@509 7
bgneal@522 8 We also do things like send topic notification emails, auto-favorite, and
bgneal@522 9 auto-subscribe functions here rather than bog the user down in the request /
bgneal@522 10 response cycle.

bgneal@595 13 # Maintenance notes:
bgneal@595 14 # How we use Redis in this module:
bgneal@595 15 #
bgneal@595 16 # Forum post processing:
bgneal@595 17 #
bgneal@595 18 # * Forum posts are turned into Python dictionaries, then converted to JSON and
bgneal@595 19 # stored under keys: forums:post:id
bgneal@595 20 # * Each forum has a list in Redis stored under the key: forums:rss:id. This
bgneal@595 21 # is a list of post IDs.
bgneal@595 22 # * There is also a key called forums:rss:* which is the combined latest
bgneal@595 23 # feed. It is also a list of post IDs.
bgneal@595 24 # * A sorted set is maintained that keeps track of the reference count for each
bgneal@595 25 # post. When a new post is created, this reference count is 2 because it is
bgneal@595 26 # stored in both the combined list and the parent forum list.
bgneal@595 27 # This sorted set is stored under the key: forums:post_ref_cnt.
bgneal@595 28 # * When a post falls off a list due to aging, the reference count in the
bgneal@595 29 # ordered set is decremented. If it falls to zero, the post's key is deleted
bgneal@595 30 # from Redis.
bgneal@595 31 # * When a post is edited, and it is in Redis, we simply update the JSON
bgneal@595 32 # content.
bgneal@595 33 # * When a post is deleted, and it is in Redis, it is removed from the 2 lists,
bgneal@595 34 # the ordered set, and deleted from Redis.
bgneal@595 35 # * When the RSS feed wants to update, it simply pulls down the entire list of
bgneal@595 36 # post IDs for the feed of interest, then does a get on all the posts.
bgneal@595 37 #
bgneal@595 38 # Topics with recent posts processing:
bgneal@595 39 #
bgneal@595 40 # * A key is created for each topic that is updated.
bgneal@595 41 # * An ordered set of topics is maintained with the current time as the score.
bgneal@595 42 # * An updated topic gets its score bumped.
bgneal@595 43 # * We only allow MAX_UPDATED_TOPICS number of topics in the set. We sort the
bgneal@595 44 # set by score, and the expired topics are removed from the set and their keys
bgneal@595 45 # are deleted from Redis.
bgneal@595 46 # * The template tag (or anyone) who wants the list of topics with new posts
bgneal@595 47 # gets the list of IDs sorted by score from newest to oldest. An mget is then
bgneal@595 48 # performed to get all the topic data and it is deserialized from JSON.
bgneal@595 49 #
bgneal@595 50 # We also maintain topic and post counts in Redis since select(*) can take a
bgneal@595 51 # while with MySQL InnoDb.
