what time did this error happen, and was it the same message?
that error is absent from our error log :(
Assignee: nobody → glob
And indeed intermittent, I starred the same two failures (near-permaorange is handy!) at 09:25:03 without error and got comments added to both bugs.
The same time and that is the single message - I'm not sure whether or not this is the only case where tbpl is hitting this problem (another likely case is where more than one of us is starring things at the same time), but in this case a single build run has two failures that are two separate bugs, so the person using tbpl tells tbpl to add comments to both of those bugs.
So, in checking this out via deadlock errors I found the below.

In layman's terms: query (1) and query (2) are identical, and started at the exact same time. 1 ran, 2 deadlocked off of 1, and in the long run it was successful, but it was somehow executed twice (causing the deadlock).

from bugzilla's perspective, tbpl updated both bugs in a single xmlrpc Bug.update call.


i'm thinking of adding another table which stores a list of users that we should re-calculate their last_activity_ts as part of the nightly run.

wrap the UPDATE statement in an eval block, and if it fails insert a row into the recalc table with the user-id.  if the UPDATE was successful, delete the user from that table.

this means the last_activity_ts may be incorrect until the next successful update, or until the nightly cronjob is executed.  i don't think this is a problem worth worrying about.
BzAPI must batch its calls, then, since from tbpl's perspective the browser client did two separate XHR POSTs to tbpl.m.o/php/submitBugzillaComment.php, and the two instances of that did separate curl POSTs to api-dev.b.m.o.

You also need the eval when updating an attachment as well.

Nit: Not related to this patch, I don't think $user->update is necessary. 

Otherwise looks/works good. r=dkl As you already know we will need to do a two stage push for the schema change.
