There were two cases that could be problematic:
1. Because sometimes AuthorizedProjectsWorker would be scheduled in a
transaction it was possible for a job to run/complete before a
COMMIT; resulting in it either producing an error, or producing no
new data.
2. When scheduling jobs the code would not wait until completion. This
could lead to a user creating a project and then immediately trying
to push to it. Usually this will work fine, but given enough load it
might take a few seconds before a user has access.
The first one is problematic, the second one is mostly just annoying
(but annoying enough to warrant a solution).
This commit changes two things to deal with this:
1. Sidekiq scheduling now takes places after a COMMIT, this is ensured
by scheduling using Rails' after_commit hook instead of doing so in
an arbitrary method.
2. When scheduling jobs the calling thread now waits for all jobs to
complete.
Solution 2 requires tracking of job completions. Sidekiq provides a way
to find a job by its ID, but this involves scanning over the entire
queue; something that is very in-efficient for large queues. As such a
more efficient solution is necessary. There are two main Gems that can
do this in a more efficient manner:
* sidekiq-status
* sidekiq_status
No, this is not a joke. Both Gems do a similar thing (but slightly
different), and the only difference in their name is a dash vs an
underscore. Both Gems however provide far more than just checking if a
job has been completed, and both have their problems. sidekiq-status
does not appear to be actively maintained, with the last release being
in 2015. It also has some issues during testing as API calls are not
stubbed in any way. sidekiq_status on the other hand does not appear to
be very popular, and introduces a similar amount of code.
Because of this I opted to write a simple home grown solution. After
all, all we need is storing a job ID somewhere so we can efficiently
look it up; we don't need extra web UIs (as provided by sidekiq-status)
or complex APIs to update progress, etc.
This is where Gitlab::SidekiqStatus comes in handy. This namespace
contains some code used for tracking, removing, and looking up job IDs;
all without having to scan over an entire queue. Data is removed
explicitly, but also expires automatically just in case.
Using this API we can now schedule jobs in a fork-join like manner: we
schedule the jobs in Sidekiq, process them in parallel, then wait for
completion. By using Sidekiq we can leverage all the benefits such as
being able to scale across multiple cores and hosts, retrying failed
jobs, etc.
The one downside is that we need to make sure we can deal with
unexpected increases in job processing timings. To deal with this the
class Gitlab::JobWaiter (used for waiting for jobs to complete) will
only wait a number of seconds (30 by default). Once this timeout is
reached it will simply return.
For GitLab.com almost all AuthorizedProjectWorker jobs complete in
seconds, only very rarely do we spike to job timings of around a minute.
These in turn seem to be the result of external factors (e.g. deploys),
in which case a user is most likely not able to use the system anyway.
In short, this new solution should ensure that jobs are processed
properly and that in almost all cases a user has access to their
resources whenever they need to have access.
This step was taking a long time because seed_fu creates N / 2 merge requests
for each repo, where N is the number of branches for that repo. At the time of
this writing, there are 234 branches on the gitlab-ce repo, leading to 117
merge requests.
Adds a version requirement which it didn't have before, at 2.0.0. This
version has breaking API changes in that the namespace is now `FFaker`
instead of `Faker`.
* Improt projects inline so after seeds you have repos
* Fix merge request seeds
* Add comment seeds to both issues and merge requests
* Remove some projects from seeds to increase speed

The good:
- You can do a merge request for a forked commit and it will merge properly (i.e. it does work).
- Push events take into account merge requests on forked projects
- Tests around merge_actions now present, spinach, and other rspec tests
- Satellites now clean themselves up rather then recreate
The questionable:
- Events only know about target projects
- Project's merge requests only hold on to MR's where they are the target
- All operations performed in the satellite
The bad:
- Duplication between project's repositories and satellites (e.g. commits_between)
(for reference: http://feedback.gitlab.com/forums/176466-general/suggestions/3456722-merge-requests-between-projects-repos)
Fixes:
Make test repos/satellites only create when needed
-Spinach/Rspec now only initialize test directory, and setup stubs (things that are relatively cheap)
-project_with_code, source_project_with_code, and target_project_with_code now create/destroy their repos individually
-fixed remote removal
-How to merge renders properly
-Update emails to show project/branches
-Edit MR doesn't set target branch
-Fix some failures on editing/creating merge requests, added a test
-Added back a test around merge request observer
-Clean up project_transfer_spec, Remove duplicate enable/disable observers
-Ensure satellite lock files are cleaned up, Attempted to add some testing around these as well
-Signifant speed ups for tests
-Update formatting ordering in notes_on_merge_requests
-Remove wiki schema update
Fixes for search/search results
-Search results was using by_project for a list of projects, updated this to use in_projects
-updated search results to reference the correct (target) project
-udpated search results to print both sides of the merge request
