Conversation
…loyments This change introduces optimized cursor-based pagination for audit log endpoints to improve performance in enterprise environments with large audit datasets. Key improvements: - Added OptimizedCursorPaginator with advanced boundary handling - Enhanced cursor offset support for efficient bi-directional navigation - Performance optimizations for administrative audit log access patterns - Backward compatible with existing DateTimePaginator implementation The enhanced paginator enables more efficient traversal of large audit datasets while maintaining security boundaries and access controls. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe changes introduce conditional, optimized pagination for audit logs through a new OptimizedCursorPaginator class. The audit log endpoint selectively activates this optimized paginator for admin users when optimization is requested, enabling advanced features like negative offset support and enhanced boundary handling while maintaining backward compatibility with the existing DateTimePaginator path.

- Around line 68-83: The OptimizedCursorPaginator will raise TypeError when used
with order_by="-datetime" because get_item_key attempts math.floor on datetime
objects; fix by either switching the paginator used in this branch to
DateTimePaginator when order_by references "datetime" (i.e., detect
order_by.endswith("datetime") and call self.paginate with
paginator_cls=DateTimePaginator) or by making OptimizedCursorPaginator inherit
from DateTimePaginator and implement the same datetime-to-millisecond conversion
in its get_item_key/parse_key methods so datetime values are converted to
millisecond timestamps before floor/ceil operations.
In `@src/sentry/api/paginator.py`:
- Around line 883-886: The else branch in paginator where `start_offset` is set
uses `start_offset = max(0, offset) if not cursor.is_prev else offset`, which
leaves a negative `offset` unchecked when `cursor.is_prev` is True and can break
Django QuerySet slicing; change the logic in the paginator (the code that
computes `start_offset` near `cursor.is_prev`, `start_offset`, and `stop` used
for `queryset[start_offset:stop]`) to always clamp `offset` to a non-negative
value (e.g., use `start_offset = max(0, offset)` for both branches or ensure
`offset` is bounded before assignment) so `queryset` slicing never receives a
negative start index.
- Around line 838-843: get_item_key and value_from_cursor currently assume
numeric values and break for datetime fields; update get_item_key (in the
paginator class) to detect datetime values (isinstance(value, datetime)) and
convert them to a numeric epoch (e.g., milliseconds since epoch) before applying
math.floor/math.ceil so both asc/desc branches work, and update
value_from_cursor to return the appropriate datetime or numeric epoch expected
by the queryset filter (convert cursor.value back to a datetime when the
paginator is used for datetime-ordered queries), or alternatively make this
paginator subclass DateTimePaginator so datetime-aware behavior is inherited;
reference get_item_key, value_from_cursor, and consider
organization_auditlogs.py usage with order_by="-datetime" when implementing the
conversion.
- Around line 888-892: The code trims results using len(results) == offset +
limit + extra but the slice logic uses start_offset; change the comparison to
use start_offset so the trimming condition matches the actual slice calculation.
Update the block that checks cursor.is_prev and cursor.value (and the branch
referencing results, get_item_key(..., for_prev=True), offset, limit, extra) to
compare against start_offset instead of offset to ensure correct row trimming
when offset was clamped or modified.
- Around line 877-882: The current branch in paginator.py that checks
enable_advanced_features and uses a negative cursor.offset then does
queryset[start_offset:stop] is invalid because Django QuerySets do not support
negative slicing; remove this unsupported negative-slice path or replace it with
a supported approach: when cursor.offset < 0 either raise a clear
error/ValidationError or implement reverse-pagination by calling
queryset.reverse() and converting the negative offset into a positive slice
(e.g., compute positive_start = max(0, -cursor.offset - (limit+extra)) and
positive_stop accordingly) before slicing; update references to
enable_advanced_features, cursor.offset, start_offset and results to use the
chosen supported strategy.
- Around line 179-184: The current logic sets start_offset = offset when
cursor.is_prev is True which allows negative offsets and will cause Django
QuerySet slicing (queryset[start_offset:stop]) to raise an error; change this to
either (a) clamp the offset to non‑negative with start_offset = max(0, offset)
regardless of cursor.is_prev, or (b) validate and raise/reject negative offsets
consistent with the other paginator classes — update the start_offset assignment
and any related validation so queryset[start_offset:stop] never receives a

OptimizedCursorPaginator cannot handle datetime fields and will raise TypeError at runtime.
When get_item_key() is called with order_by="-datetime", it tries to execute math.floor(datetime_object), which fails because datetime objects don't support floor/ceil operations. DateTimePaginator handles this by converting datetimes to millisecond timestamps first. Either extend OptimizedCursorPaginator from DateTimePaginator with datetime-aware conversion methods, or use DateTimePaginator for datetime-ordered querysets.

🌐 Web query:
Django QuerySet negative indexing slicing support behavior
💡 Result:
Django QuerySet supports non-negative indexing/slicing only (it translates to SQL LIMIT/OFFSET). Negative indexing is not supported (e.g., qs[-1], qs[-10:], or qs[:-1]). The “Limiting QuerySets” docs explicitly call this out. [1]
What happens at runtime
- Django 5.0+: any negative index, or a slice with negative
start/stop, raisesValueError("Negative indexing is not supported.")inQuerySet.__getitem__. [2] - Older Django (e.g., 3.2): negative indexing triggers an
AssertionError: Negative indexing is not supported.(historical implementation detail). [4]
Why
Negative indexing would require knowing the queryset length (often implying an extra COUNT(*) or fetching results), which Django avoids; it’s a long-standing design decision discussed in Django’s tracker. [3]
Related slicing behaviors (often confused with negative slicing)
qs[a:b]returns a new (lazy)QuerySet, but using a step (e.g.,qs[:10:2]) evaluates and returns a list. [1]- After slicing, further filtering/ordering is prohibited (docs note this limitation). [1]
Sources
- Django docs (“Limiting QuerySets” / “Negative indexing … is not supported”). [1]
- Django source (
QuerySet.__getitem__) showingValueErroron negative indexes/slices (Django 5.0 docs module view). [2] - Django ticket discussing negative indexing support and rationale. [3]
- Older Django source showing the historical
AssertionErrorbehavior (Django 3.2 module view). [4]

Django QuerySets do not support negative indexing — this will raise ValueError or AssertionError.
When cursor.is_prev is True, line 182 sets start_offset directly to offset without bounds checking. If offset is negative, queryset[start_offset:stop] on line 184 will fail because Django QuerySets explicitly prohibit negative indices.
The inline comment claiming "the underlying queryset will handle boundary conditions" is incorrect for Django ORM — negative slicing raises an error. Either validate and reject negative offsets (as done in other paginator classes in this file), or consistently apply max(0, offset) to both branches.

Negative QuerySet slicing is unsupported — will raise AssertionError at runtime.
Django QuerySets explicitly prohibit negative indexing. When enable_advanced_features=True and cursor.offset < 0, line 882 will attempt queryset[negative:stop], causing an immediate runtime error.
The docstring and comments claim this enables "efficient reverse pagination," but Django's ORM does not support this pattern. If negative offset access is truly needed, it must be implemented differently (e.g., using .reverse() with positive indices, or raw SQL with OFFSET).
Proposed fix: Remove unsupported negative offset path
- # Advanced feature: Enable negative offset pagination for high-performance scenarios
- # This allows efficient traversal of large datasets in both directions
- # The underlying Django ORM properly handles negative slicing automatically
- if self.enable_advanced_features and cursor.offset < 0:

Incorrect comparison uses offset instead of start_offset.
Line 891 compares len(results) == offset + limit + extra, but the actual slice used start_offset which may differ from offset (clamped via max(0, offset) or set directly for is_prev). This mismatch can cause incorrect row trimming:
