Otherwise things will get confused.
An alternative would be to make sure that for lagging stream we don't
return anything (and make sure the returned next_batch token doesn't go
backwards). But that is a faff.
We try and deduplicate in two places: 1) really early on, and 2) just
before we persist the event. The first case was broken due to it
occuring before the profile information was added, and so it thought the
event contents were different.
The second case did catch it and handle it correctly, however doing so
creates a redundant state group leading to bloat.
Fixes#3791
Fixes up #17239
We need to keep the spam check within the `try/except` block. Also makes
it so that we don't enter the top span twice.
Also also ensures that we get the right thumbnail length.
There is a problem with `StreamIdGenerator` where it can go backwards
over restarts when a stream ID is requested but then not inserted into
the DB. This is problematic if we want to land #17215, and is generally
a potential cause for all sorts of nastiness.
Instead of trying to fix `StreamIdGenerator`, we may as well move to
`MultiWriterIdGenerator` that does not suffer from this problem (the
latest positions are stored in `stream_positions` table). This involves
adding SQLite support to the class.
This only changes id generators that were already using
`MultiWriterIdGenerator` under postgres, a separate PR will move the
rest of the uses of `StreamIdGenerator` over.
Currently sending a to-device message to a user ID with a dodgy
destination is accepted, but then ends up spamming the logs when we try
and send to the destination.
An alternative would be to reject the request, but I'm slightly nervous
that could break things.
When a module rejects a piece of media we end up trying to close the
same logging context twice.
Instead of fixing the existing code we refactor to use an async context
manager, which is easier to write correctly.
