"""This module is responsible for getting events from the DB for pagination
and event streaming.

The order it returns events in depend on whether we are streaming forwards or
are paginating backwards. We do this because we want to handle out of order
messages nicely, while still returning them in the correct order when we
paginate bacwards.

This is implemented by keeping two ordering columns: stream_ordering and
topological_ordering. Stream ordering is basically insertion/received order
(except for events from backfill requests). The topological_ordering is a
weak ordering of events based on the pdu graph.

This means that we have to have two different types of tokens, depending on
what sort order was used:
    - stream tokens are of the form: "s%d", which maps directly to the column
    - topological tokems: "t%d-%d", where the integers map to the topological
      and stream ordering columns respectively.

        Fetch membership events (and the previous event that was replaced by that one)

        Note: This function only works with "live" tokens with `stream_ordering` only.

        We're looking for membership changes in the token range (> `from_key` and <=
        `to_key`).

        Please be mindful to only use this with `from_key` and `to_key` tokens that are
        recent enough to be after when the first local user joined the room. Otherwise,
        the results may be incomplete or too greedy. For example, if you use a token
        range before the first local user joined the room, you will see 0 events since
        `current_state_delta_stream` tracks what the server thinks is the current state
        of the room as time goes. It does not track how state progresses from the
        beginning of the room. So for example, when you remotely join a room, the first
        rows will just be the state when you joined and progress from there.

        You can probably reasonably use this with `/sync` because the `to_key` passed in
        will be the "current" now token and the range will cover when the user joined
        the room.

        Args:
            user_id: The user ID to fetch membership events for.
            from_key: The point in the stream to sync from (fetching events > this point).
            to_key: The token to fetch rooms up to (fetching events <= this point).
            excluded_room_ids: Optional list of room IDs to exclude from the results.

        Returns:
            All membership changes to the current state in the token range. Events are
            sorted by `stream_ordering` ascending.

            `event_id`/`sender` can be `None` when the server leaves a room (meaning
            everyone locally left) or a state reset which removed the person from the
            room. We can't tell the difference between the two cases with what's
            available in the `current_state_delta_stream` table. To actually check for a
            state reset, you need to check if a membership still exists in the room.

        Fetch membership events that result in a meaningful membership change for a
        given user.

        A meaningful membership changes is one where the `membership` value actually
        changes. This means memberships changes from `join` to `join` (like a display
        name change) will be filtered out since they result in no meaningful change.

        Note: This function only works with "live" tokens with `stream_ordering` only.

        We're looking for membership changes in the token range (> `from_key` and <=
        `to_key`).

        Args:
            user_id: The user ID to fetch membership events for.
            from_key: The point in the stream to sync from (fetching events > this point).
            to_key: The token to fetch rooms up to (fetching events <= this point).
            excluded_room_ids: Optional list of room IDs to exclude from the results.

        Returns:
            All meaningful membership changes to the current state in the token range.
            Events are sorted by `stream_ordering` ascending.

            `event_id`/`sender` can be `None` when the server leaves a room (meaning
            everyone locally left) or a state reset which removed the person from the
            room. We can't tell the difference between the two cases with what's
            available in the `current_state_delta_stream` table. To actually check for a
            state reset, you need to check if a membership still exists in the room.
