# Important Notes
#### The Plot
- there used to be two kinds of benchmarks: in Java and in Enso
- those in Java got quite a good treatment
- there even are results updated daily: https://enso-org.github.io/engine-benchmark-results/
- the benchmarks written in Enso used to be 2nd class citizen
#### The Revelation
This PR has the potential to fix it all!
- It designs new [Bench API](88fd6fb988) ready for non-batch execution
- It allows for _single benchmark in a dedicated JVM_ execution
- It provides a simple way to wrap such an Enso benchmark as a Java benchmark
- thus the results of Enso and Java benchmarks are [now unified](https://github.com/enso-org/enso/pull/7101#discussion_r1257504440)
Long live _single benchmarking infrastructure for Java and Enso_!
This is the first part of the #5158 umbrella task. It closes#5158, follow-up tasks are listed as a comment in the issue.
- Updates all prototype methods dealing with `Value_Type` with a proper implementation.
- Adds a more precise mapping from in-memory storage to `Value_Type`.
- Adds a dialect-dependent mapping between `SQL_Type` and `Value_Type`.
- Removes obsolete methods and constants on `SQL_Type` that were not portable.
- Ensures that in the Database backend, operation results are computed based on what the Database is meaning to return (by asking the Database about expected types of each operation).
- But also ensures that the result types are sane.
- While SQLite does not officially support a BOOLEAN affinity, we add a set of type overrides to our operations to ensure that Boolean operations will return Boolean values and will not be changed to integers as SQLite would suggest.
- Some methods in SQLite fallback to a NUMERIC affinity unnecessarily, so stuff like `max(text, text)` will keep the `text` type instead of falling back to numeric as SQLite would suggest.
- Adds ability to use custom fetch / builder logic for various types, so that we can support vendor specific types (for example, Postgres dates).
# Important Notes
- There are some TODOs left in the code. I'm still aligning follow-up tasks - once done I will try to add references to relevant tasks in them.
Creating two `findExceptionMessage` methods in `HostEnsoUtils` and in `VisualizationResult`. Why two? Because one of them is using `org.graalvm.polyglot` SDK as it runs in _"normal Java"_ mode. The other one is using Truffle API as it is running inside of partially evaluated instrument.
There is a `FindExceptionMessageTest` to guarantee consistency between the two methods. It simulates some exceptions in Enso code and checks that both methods extract the same _"message"_ from the exception. The tests verifies hosted and well as Enso exceptions - however testing other polyglot languages is only possible in other modules - as such I created `PolyglotFindExceptionMessageTest` - but that one doesn't have access to Truffle API - e.g. it doesn't really check the consistency - just that a reasonable message is extracted from a JavaScript exception.
# Important Notes
This is not full fix of #5260 - something needs to be done on the IDE side, as the IDE seems to ignore the delivered JSON message - even if it contains properly extracted exception message.
* Initial integration with Frgaal in sbt
Half-working since it chokes on generated classes from annotation
processor.
* Replace AutoService with ServiceProvider
For reasons unknown AutoService would fail to initialize and fail to
generate required builtin method classes.
Hidden error message is not particularly revealing on the reason for
that:
```
[error] error: Bad service configuration file, or exception thrown while constructing Processor object: javax.annotation.processing.Processor: Provider com.google.auto.service.processor.AutoServiceProcessor could not be instantiated
```
The sample records is only to demonstrate that we can now use newer Java
features.
* Cleanup + fix benchmark compilation
Bench requires jmh classes which are not available because we obviously
had to limit `java.base` modules to get Frgaal to work nicely.
For now, we default to good ol' javac for Benchmarks.
Limiting Frgaal to runtime for now, if it plays nicely, we can expand it
to other projects.
* Update CHANGELOG
* Remove dummy record class
* Update licenses
* New line
* PR review
* Update legal review
