Some IE7 browsers reject cross-domain cookies inside an iframe Facebook app

Redis Timeseries Metric

I've been playing around with trying to make it as simple as possible to start logging a few metrics with as little effort in setup as possible.

As I was working on Papertrail I came up with a couple interesting ideas, some of which were inspired by OpenTSDB.

Storing metrics

In this example we are pretending we're processing emails as background jobs and would like to track how many we've sent over time.

def queryset_generator(queryset, chunksize=1000):
    """ 
    Iterate over a Django Queryset ordered by the primary key

    This method loads a maximum of chunksize (default: 1000) rows in its
    memory at the same time while django normally would load all rows in its
    memory. Using the iterator() method only causes it to not preload all the
    classes.

    Note that the implementation of the generator does not support ordered query sets.
