    • Cache SplitMongo course structures in memcached. · 39ab0f31
      This is primarily to reduce load on MongoDB, where we've lately
      had performance problems that we suspect are caused by very
      large course structures being evicted from MongoDB's cache. This
      may potentially give us a path to better performance as well,
      but that's not the goal of this commit.
      
      Surprisingly, LZ4 seemed to actually run more slowly than zlib
      for this. Possibly because of some overhead in the Python
      bindings? GZip was also surprisingly slow given that it uses
      zlib underneath (something like 5x slower).
      
      Use separate cache backend for caching structures.
      
      Abstract out course structure cache.
      
      add datadog metrics for compressed course structure sizes
      
      Since we're using a different cache background, we don't need to have a cache prefix
      
      Use dummy cache backend for tests.
      
      Fallback to default cache if course_structure_cache doesn't exist.

    • Ignore invalid-name errors for settings files · ef43840a
      path.py objects report themselves as class objects, which confuses the heck out of
      pylint. It tries to match variable names using the class-rgx regular expression
      instead of the constant-rgx regular expression, and it doesn't match, so it
      throws an error. Not sure how to fix pylint, so we'll just ignore these errors.

    • Basic Mobile API (v0.5) and Video Abstraction Layer integration. · 4f5d8b30
      Note that the features in this release are opt-in, and course and video
      behavior will remain the same unless a course explicitly opts in.
      
      Major pieces of functionality with this commit:
      
      Allows the listing of a user's enrollments, course videos, and updates. In
      order to make a course available for mobile use, course staff must explicitly
      set the Course Advanced Setting "Mobile Course Available" to true. Course staff
      will always see their own courses through the Mobile API regardless of this
      setting, but students will only be allowed to see a course through the Mobile
      API if this setting is set to "true". By default, a Course will *not* be
      available for mobile use.
      
      This is a Django app for video resource management. It is completely optional,
      and is intended to allow video and operations teams to create new encodings of
      videos (e.g. low res for mobile) and change CDNs without having to edit course
      data directly. Course teams can now use a "EdX Video ID" setting for Videos,
      which will leverage VAL. Video units that do not fill in an "EdX Video ID" will
      behave exactly as they always have.
      
      * The Mobile API is enabled with the ENABLE_MOBILE_REST_API feature flag.
      * VAL is enabled with the ENABLE_VIDEO_ABSTRACTION_LAYER_API feature flag.
      * VAL and the Mobile API both require ENABLE_OAUTH2_PROVIDER).
      * The Mobile API is a read-only API, but VAL requires database migrations.
      * Applications that make use of either the Mobile API or VAL must be registered
        with the OAuth2 provider app in Django Admin.

      Metrics tab shows student data:
        -Count of students opened a subsection
        -Grade distribution per problem
      
      for each section/subsection of the course.
      
      Implemented for both the old and beta dashboard
      Controlled by a feature flag 'CLASS_DASHBOARD'
      Data is aggregated across all students
      Aggregate data computed from courseware_studentmodule
