Having two states that essentially mean the same thing is very much like
having a boolean "true" and boolean "mostly-true": it's rather silly.
This commit merges the "reopened" state into the "opened" state while
taking care of system notes still showing messages along the lines of
"Alice reopened this issue".
A big benefit from having only two states (opened and closed) is that
indexing and querying becomes simpler and more performant. For example,
to get all the opened queries we no longer have to query both states:
SELECT *
FROM issues
WHERE project_id = 2
AND state IN ('opened', 'reopened');
Instead we can query a single state directly, which can be much faster:
SELECT *
FROM issues
WHERE project_id = 2
AND state = 'opened';
Further, only having two states makes indexing easier as we will only
ever filter (and thus scan an index) using a single value. Partial
indexes could help but aren't supported on MySQL, complicating the
development process and not being helpful for MySQL.
This is allowed for existing instances so we don't end up 76 offenses
right away, but for new code one should _only_ use this if they _have_
to remove non database data. Even then it's usually better to do this in
a service class as this gives you more control over how to remove the
data (e.g. in bulk).
This removes the need for relying on Rails' "dependent" option for data
removal, which is _incredibly_ slow (even when using :delete_all) when
deleting large amounts of data. This also ensures data consistency is
enforced on DB level and not on application level (something Rails is
really bad at).
This commit also includes various migrations to add foreign keys to
tables that eventually point to "projects" to ensure no rows get
orphaned upon removing a project.
Flushing the events cache worked by updating a recent number of rows in
the "events" table. This has the result that on PostgreSQL a lot of dead
tuples are produced on a regular basis. This in turn means that
PostgreSQL will spend considerable amounts of time vacuuming this table.
This in turn can lead to an increase of database load.
For GitLab.com we measured the impact of not using events caching and
found no measurable increase in response timings. Meanwhile not flushing
the events cache lead to the "events" table having no more dead tuples
as now rows are only inserted into this table.
As a result of this we are hereby removing events caching as it does not
appear to help and only increases database load.
