) Pre-populate room data for quick filtering/sorting in the Sliding Sync API Spawning from #17450 (comment) This PR is acting as the Synapse version `N+1` step in the gradual migration being tracked by #17623 Adding two new database tables: - `sliding_sync_joined_rooms`: A table for storing room meta data that the local server is still participating in. The info here can be shared across all `Membership.JOIN`. Keyed on `(room_id)` and updated when the relevant room current state changes or a new event is sent in the room. - `sliding_sync_membership_snapshots`: A table for storing a snapshot of room meta data at the time of the local user's membership. Keyed on `(room_id, user_id)` and only updated when a user's membership in a room changes. Also adds background updates to populate these tables with all of the existing data. We want to have the guarantee that if a row exists in the sliding sync tables, we are able to rely on it (accurate data). And if a row doesn't exist, we use a fallback to get the same info until the background updates fill in the rows or a new event comes in triggering it to be fully inserted. This means we need a couple extra things in place until we bump `SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION` and run the foreground update in the `N+2` part of the gradual migration. For context on why we can't rely on the tables without these things see [1]. 1. On start-up, block until we clear out any rows for the rooms that have had events since the max-`stream_ordering` of the `sliding_sync_joined_rooms` table (compare to max-`stream_ordering` of the `events` table). For `sliding_sync_membership_snapshots`, we can compare to the max-`stream_ordering` of `local_current_membership` - This accounts for when someone downgrades their Synapse version and then upgrades it again. This will ensure that we don't have any stale/out-of-date data in the `sliding_sync_joined_rooms`/`sliding_sync_membership_snapshots` tables since any new events sent in rooms would have also needed to be written to the sliding sync tables. For example a new event needs to bump `event_stream_ordering` in `sliding_sync_joined_rooms` table or some state in the room changing (like the room name). Or another example of someone's membership changing in a room affecting `sliding_sync_membership_snapshots`. 1. Add another background update that will catch-up with any rows that were just deleted from the sliding sync tables (based on the activity in the `events`/`local_current_membership`). The rooms that need recalculating are added to the `sliding_sync_joined_rooms_to_recalculate` table. 1. Making sure rows are fully inserted. Instead of partially inserting, we need to check if the row already exists and fully insert all data if not. All of this extra functionality can be removed once the `SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION` is bumped with support for the new sliding sync tables so people can no longer downgrade (the `N+2` part of the gradual migration). <details> <summary><sup>[1]</sup></summary> For `sliding_sync_joined_rooms`, since we partially insert rows as state comes in, we can't rely on the existence of the row for a given `room_id`. We can't even rely on looking at whether the background update has finished. There could still be partial rows from when someone reverted their Synapse version after the background update finished, had some state changes (or new rooms), then upgraded again and more state changes happen leaving a partial row. For `sliding_sync_membership_snapshots`, we insert items as a whole except for the `forgotten` column ~~so we can rely on rows existing and just need to always use a fallback for the `forgotten` data. We can't use the `forgotten` column in the table for the same reasons above about `sliding_sync_joined_rooms`.~~ We could have an out-of-date membership from when someone reverted their Synapse version.

This issue is meant to track the gradual migration so that the application code can fully rely on the
sliding_sync_joined_rooms/sliding_sync_membership_snapshotsdatabase tables.(an example of gradually migrating to a completely new database table)
Synapse version
N + 1This step was done in #17512 (landed in Synapse vTODO)
The
N+1step introduces thesliding_sync_joined_rooms/sliding_sync_membership_snapshotstables and background updates to populate those tables over time.SCHEMA_VERSIONwas bumped to87.Since we always make sure to fully insert a row if it doesn't exist, if a row exists in those tables, it can be relied upon. But missing rows need to use a fallback to get the same data.
Synapse version
N + 2In reality, this might happen more than one Synapse version down the line to allow more time for people to upgrade and run the background update.
Bump
SCHEMA_VERSIONto88and bumpSCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSIONto at-least87because we don't want people to downgrade and miss writes while they are on an older version. Add a foreground update to finish off populating the tables completely so we can read from new tables without the fallback. Application code can now rely on the new tables being populated.Code pointing at this issue can also be removed in this step (search the codebase for
