These changes were initially made to make it easier to do SECRET_KEY rotations. Along the way, we found it made sense to refractor the code as well. Changes made: - changed get_to_create to create because now the code should only get to this block when a write is necessary - added a lookup for anonymous_user_id. This is to return an existing anonymous_user_id rather than calculating. This will mitigate the results of SECRET_KEY rotation. - Added monitoring to help us make better decisions: should we not sue SECRET_KEY, performance considerations... - put old function behind toggle in case something goes wrong in production with new code - refractoring function structure for better understanding
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.
