this allows almost all api operations to success usin application/json
encoding with the exception of the update-file, which we need to
approach a bit differently;
the reason update-file is different, is because the operations vector
is right now defined without the context of shape type, so we are just
unable to properly parse the value to correct type using the schema
decoding mechanism
The main issue was the long running gc operation that
affects storage objects with deduplication. The long running
transacion ends locking some storage object rows which collaterally
made operations like import-binfile become blocked indefinitelly
because of the same rows (because of deduplication).
The solution used in this commit is split operations on small
chunks so we no longer use long running transactions that holds
too many locks. With this approach we will make a window to work
concurrently all operarate the distinct operations that requires
locks on the same rows.
The main objective is prevent deletion of objects that can leave
unreachable orphan objects which we are unable to correctly track.
Additionally, this commit includes:
1. Properly implement safe cascade deletion of all participating
tables on soft deletion in the objects-gc task;
2. Make the file thumbnail related tables also participate in the
touch/refcount mechanism applyign to the same safety checks;
3. Add helper for db query lazy iteration using PostgreSQL support
for server side cursors;
4. Fix efficiency issues on gc related task using server side
cursors instead of custom chunked iteration for processing data.
The problem resided when a large chunk of rows that has identical
value on the deleted_at column and the chunk size is small (the
default); when the custom chunked iteration only reads a first N
items and skip the rest of the set to the next run.
This has caused many objects to remain pending to be eliminated,
taking up space for longer than expected. The server side cursor
based iteration does not has this problem and iterates correctly
over all objects.
5. Fix refcount issues on font variant deletion RPC methods
Mainly the followin changes:
- Pass majority of code to the old and plain synchronous style
and start using virtual threads for the RPC (and partially some
HTTP server middlewares).
- Make some improvements on how CLIMIT is handled, simplifying code
- Improve considerably performance reducing the reflection and
unnecesary funcion calls on the whole stack-trace of an RPC call.
- Improve efficiency reducing considerably the total threads number.
