asuth

• gloda review tracking now on User:Andrew_Sutherland/MailNews/GlobalDatabase/Review to augment the bug. (moved existing actionable bug comments to the wiki page.)
• gloda progress
  • implemented revised indexing logic.
    • now uses bounded event-driven indexing with fall-back to sweep when too many events happen, or just in cases where we don’t need timely updates.
    • indexing now more ‘incremental’ in that we can tell from a header (thanks to a property we set) whether the message has been gloda indexed, and whether it needs to be re-indexed (dirty). this allows sweeps to be practical/efficient.
    • only indexes things that are offline for IMAP
    • indexing is suspended if you ‘go offline’ as a proxy for assuming you are on battery, lacking an indicator for that.
    • indexing is throttled if you are active versus idle. the numbers may need tweaking.
  • changes for review
  • got jsdoc-toolkit based documentation going here. Required/uses some changes I made, available in hg.
