flowdrop 2.7.x-dev

FlowDrop 2.7.3 is a bug-fix release for 2.7.2. Upgrading from FlowDrop 2.5.x or earlier no longer spends up to an hour in drush updb on MariaDB. There are no new database updates: clear caches after updating.

Fixed

• The job pipeline backfill is fast on MariaDB before 11.1. The post-update that records each job's pipeline, added in 2.6.0, ran a subquery that MariaDB before 11.1 evaluates once per job row. On a site with about 7,000 pipelines it took 52 minutes. It now updates jobs by primary key with the same result: on a 7,407-pipeline MariaDB 10.11 database the whole drush updb went from 213 seconds to 11 (#3592505).

Before you upgrade

Nothing to do if your site already runs 2.6.0 or later with all updates applied: the post-update ran once and does not run again. If you upgrade from 2.5.x or earlier, it runs the faster code. If a drush updb was stopped during this backfill, run it again; it skips the jobs it already filled in. Details in the "2.7.2 to 2.7.3" section of UPGRADE.md.
