journal_client: Improve stats detection

Summary

This adds an integration test which permutes inputs to ensure out of order renders the
same result.

This also improves the current algorithm which revealed some hit-and-miss cases:

  • Initialization of the first visit detection (through the "last_snapshot" absence field,

the previous implementation check could fail otherwise).

  • out of order policy (ignore old event) in case of supposedly "eventful" event was done too early

which ignored too much messages (those new test cases failed in some permutations).

  • This is now specifically checked in case of referenced snapshots which led to cases of possibly

changing eventful event into uneventful one. For example, the case of an anterior eventful event is
caught which means that the current most-up-to-date eventful event is actually an uneventful one).

Can you be more explicit about what the improvements are, in the commit msg / diff description?

Description updated.
I'll amend the commit message when we are fine with such a description ;)

swh/scheduler/journal_client.py
88

this was too dismissive a filter so this conditional was moved in the subsequent conditional with different behavior changes as explained in the diff description.

swh/scheduler/tests/test_journal_client.py
310

Those tests are not real changes, they were deemed clearer inlined.

olasd added a subscriber: olasd.

The new logic is somewhat elaborate, but it's well documented and seems to be properly tested, so this looks fine to me.

For now there's nothing that I see that would prevent this logic from being implemented in SQL to reduce the amount of database ping-pong, when we're done refining it. Alternatively, or as a stop-gap, we could consider retrieving the "current recorded status" in a single batch for all the messages being processed now (that is, collapsing all the scheduler.origin_visit_stats_get calls into a single call to a new backend endpoint).

swh/scheduler/journal_client.py
84–87

This is bikeshed-ish, but I think the logic would be even easier to follow with:

  • date renamed to latest_recorded_visit(_date?)
  • msg_dict["date"] given a more explicit name like current_status_date
104–107

Good catch!

    scheduler.cli.journal: Add `swh scheduler journal visit-stats` cli
    
    This adds the cli entrypoint to actually process origin_visit_status topics and write to
    the origin_visit_stats db table.
