unarist 0129f5eada Optimize FixReblogsInFeeds migration (#5538)
We have changed how we store reblogs in the redis for bigint IDs. This process is done by 1) scan all entries in users feed, and 2) re-store reblogs by 3 write commands.

However, this operation is really slow for large instances. e.g. 1hrs on friends.nico (w/ 50k users). So I have tried below tweaks.

* It checked non-reblogs by `entry[0] == entry[1]`, but this condition won't work because `entry[0]` is String while `entry[1]` is Float. Changing `entry[0].to_i == entry[1]` seems work.
  -> about 4-20x faster (feed with less reblogs will be faster)
* Write operations can be batched by pipeline
  -> about 6x faster
* Wrap operation by Lua script and execute by EVALSHA command. This really reduces packets between Ruby and Redis.
  -> about 3x faster

I've taken Lua script way, though doing other optimizations may be enough.

# Old scheme:
# Each user's feed zset had a series of score:value entries,
# where "regular" statuses had the same score and value (their
# ID). Reblogs had a score of the reblogging status' ID, and a
# value of the reblogged status' ID.
# New scheme:
# The feed contains only entries with the same score and value.
# Reblogs result in the reblogging status being added to the
# feed, with an entry in a reblog tracking zset (where the score
# is once again set to the reblogging status' ID, and the value
# is set to the reblogged status' ID). This is safe for Redis'
# float coersion because in this reblog tracking zset, we only
# need the rebloggging status' ID to be able to stop tracking
# entries after they have gotten too far down the feed, which
# does not require an exact value.
# This process reads all feeds and writes 3 times for each reblogs.
# So we use Lua script to avoid overhead between Ruby and Redis.

# We *deliberately* do nothing here. This means that reverting
# this and the associated changes to the FeedManager code could
# allow one superfluous reblog of any given status, but in the case
# where things have gone wrong and a revert is necessary, this
# appears preferable to requiring a database hit for every status
# in every users' feed simply to revert.
# Note that this is operating under the assumption that entries
# with >53-bit IDs have already been entered. Otherwise, we could
# just use the data in Redis to reverse this transition.
