Mark Hahnenberg b119b43f82 [client-sync] Don't throttle message processing when syncing specific UIDs
Summary:
This diff adds a timeout parameter to queueMessageForProcessing that can
be used to override the CPU-throttled-by-default timeout used by the
message processing queue. The FetchMessagesInFolder sync task now
overrides with a timeout of 0 when it is queuing specific UIDs that it
has downloaded. The thinking here is that if we've requested a specific
set of UIDs, it's very important to sync those quickly as this indicates
a higher priority (e.g. initial inbox sync, search result syncing, etc).

Test Plan: Run locally, verify that initial sync and search syncing run faster

Client Sync

This is the mail sync engine that runs within the Nylas Mail client

It is symlinked in as an internal_package of Nylas Mail via the postinstall script of the root repo.

Important Usage Notes:

Since this is symlinked in as an internal_package of Nylas Mail, there are a handulf of considerations when developing in client-sync. Some common gotchas:

  • You MAY use NylasEnv, NylasExports and other injected libraries in the Nylas Mail client environment.
  • You MAY use any 3rd party library declared in client-app/package.json. Since this gets added as a plugin of the Nylas Mail client, you'll have access to all libraries. This works because the client-app/node_modules was added to the global require paths. That lets us access client-app plugins without being a file directory decendent of client-app (client-sync is now a sibling of client-app)
  • You may NOT add "dependencies" to the client-sync/package.json. If you need a 3rd party library, add it to the main client-app/package.json. All Nylas Mail plugins (those inside of internal_packages), may no longer declare their own dependencies.
  • You should be aggressive at moving generic mail methods to isomorphic-core. We may eventually want to make large chunks of client-sync work in a cloud environment as well.
