Prior to this commit, the course api (/api/courses/v1/courses/) performed all the work necessary to return all courses available to the user, and then only actually returned on page's worth of those courses. With this change, the api now does the work incrementally, computing only the data needed to fetch the courses up to and including the page being returned. This still increases approximately linearly as the page number accessed being increases, but should be more cache-friendly. One side effect of this is that the max_page reported by pagination will be an overestimate (it will include pages that are removed due to a users access restrictions). This change also changes the sort-order of courses being returned by the course_api. By sorting by course-id, rather than course-number, we can sort in the database, rather than in Python, and defer loading data from the end of the list until it is requested. REVMI-90
Open edX -------- This is the root package for Open edX. The intent is that all importable code from Open edX will eventually live here, including the code in the lms, cms, and common directories. If you're adding a new Django app, place it in core/djangoapps. If you're adding utilities that require Django, place them in core/djangolib. If you're adding code that defines no Django models or views of its own but is widely useful, put it in core/lib. Note: All new code should be created in this package, and the legacy code will be moved here gradually. For now the code is not structured like this, and hence legacy code will continue to live in a number of different packages.
