Refactor TrendingProjectsFinder to support caching · 154253caYorick Peterse authored
== Public Projects This finder class now _only_ returns public projects. Previously this finder would also return private and internal projects. Including these projects makes caching data much harder and less efficient. Meanwhile including this data isn't very useful as very few users would be interested in seeing projects they have access to as trending. That is, the feature is more useful when you want to see what _other_ popular projects there are. == Caching The data returned by TrendingProjectsFinder is now cached for a day based on the number of months the data should be restricted to. The cache is not flushed explicitly, instead it's rebuilt whenever it expires. == Timings To measure the impact I changed the finder code to use the last 24 months instead of the last month. I then executed and measured 10 requests to the explore page. On the current "master" branch (commit 88fa5916) this would take an average of 2.43 seconds. Using the changes of this commit this was reduced to around 1.7 seconds. Fixes gitlab-org/gitlab-ce#22164
