Pylint's `bad-classmethod-argument` is disabled for each definition
to avoid rewriting the method bodies just to rename `self` → `cls`.
This can be done gradually, as the setUpTestData methods are modified
along the way.
The queries as they previously existed required joining together 12
different tables, which is extremely expensive. Splitting it into four
queries means that the individual queries can effectively use the
indexes we have, and should be very fast no matter how many statuses are
in the database.
Removing the .distinct() call is fine, since we're adding them to a set
in Redis anyways, which will take care of the duplicates.
It's a bit ugly that we now make four separate calls to Redis (this
might result in things being slightly slower in cases where there are an
extremely small number of statuses), but doing things differently would
result in significantly more surgery to the existing code, so I've opted
to avoid that for the moment.
Fixes: #2725
Anywhere we have a user object, we can easily get the user ID in the
caller, and this will allow us more flexibility in the future to
implement optimizations that involve knowing a user ID without querying
the database for the user object.
Previously, every time a status was saved, a task would start to add it
to people's timelines. This meant there were a ton of duplicate tasks
that were potentially heavy to run. Now, the Status model has a "ready"
field which indicates that it's worth updating the timelines. It
defaults to True, which prevents statuses from accidentally not being
added due to ready state.
The ready state is explicitly set to false in the view, which is the
source of most of the noise for that task.
