### A long tale about encoding
GraphQL has an [introspection system](http://spec.graphql.org/June2018/#sec-Introspection), which allows its schema to be introspected. This is what we use to introspect [remote schemas](41383e1f88/server/src-rsr/introspection.json). There is one place in the introspection where we might find GraphQL values: the default value of an argument.
```json
{
"fields": [
{
"name": "echo",
"args": [
{
"name": "msg",
"defaultValue": "\"Hello\\nWorld!\""
}
]
}
]
}
```
Note that GraphQL's introspection is transport agnostic: the default value isn't returned as a JSON value, but as a _string-encoded GraphQL Value_. In this case, the value is the GraphQL String `"Hello\nWorld!"`. Embedded into a string, it is encoded as: `"\"Hello\\nWorld!\""`.
When we [parse that value](41383e1f88/server/src-lib/Hasura/GraphQL/RemoteServer.hs (L351)), we first extract that JSON string, to get its content, `"Hello\nWorld!"`, then use our [GraphQL Parser library](21c1ddfb41/src/Language/GraphQL/Draft/Parser.hs (L200)) to interpret this: we find the double quote, understand that the content is a String, unescape the backslashes, and end up with the desired string value: `['H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', '\n', 'W', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd', '!']`. This all works fine.
However, there was a bug in the _printer_ part of our parser library: when printing back a String value, we would not re-escape characters properly. In practice, this meant that the GraphQL String `"Hello\nWorld"` would be encoded in JSON as `"\"Hello\nWorld!\""`. Note how the `\n` is not properly double-escaped. This led to a variety of problems, as described in #1965:
- we would successfully parse a remote schema containing such characters in its default values, but then would print those erroneous JSON values in our introspection, which would _crash the console_
- we would inject those default values in queries sent to remote schemas, and print them wrong doing so, sending invalid values to remote schemas and getting errors in result
It turns out that this bug had been lurking in the code for a long time: I combed through the history of [the parser library](https://github.com/hasura/graphql-parser-hs), and as far as I can tell, this bug has always been there. So why was it never caught? After all, we do have [round trip tests](21c1ddfb41/test/Spec.hs (L52)) that print + parse arbitrary values and check that we get the same value as a result. They do use any arbitrary unicode character in their generated strings. So... that should have covered it, right?
Well... it turns out that [the tests were ignoring errors](7678066c49/test/Spec.hs (L45)), and would always return "SUCCESS" in CI, even if they failed... Furthermore, the sample size was small enough that, most of the time, _they would not hit such characters_. Running the tests locally on a loop, I only got errors ~10% of the time...
This was all fixed in hasura/graphql-parser-hs#44. This was probably one of Hasura's longest standing bugs? ^^'
### Description
This PR bumps the version of graphql-parser-hs in the engine, and switches some of our own arbitrary tests to use unicode characters in text rather than alphanumeric values. It turns out those tests were much better at hitting "bad" values, and that they consistently failed when generating arbitrary unicode characters.

### Description
A first PR, #1947, removed all the `Arbitrary` stuff from our codebase. But #1740, merged on the same day, added some tests relying on `Arbitrary`. In the merge process, some unneeded `Arbitrary` code got reintroduced.
This PR removes all `Arbitrary` stuff from `src-lib`, and cleans / refactor `Hasura.Generator` in `src-test` to only reduce it to the bare minimum amount of `Arbitrary` instances.

Query plan caching was introduced by - I believe - hasura/graphql-engine#1934 in order to reduce the query response latency. During the development of PDV in hasura/graphql-engine#4111, it was found out that the new architecture (for which query plan caching wasn't implemented) performed comparably to the pre-PDV architecture with caching. Hence, it was decided to leave query plan caching until some day in the future when it was deemed necessary.
Well, we're in the future now, and there still isn't a convincing argument for query plan caching. So the time has come to remove some references to query plan caching from the codebase. For the most part, any code being removed would probably not be very well suited to the post-PDV architecture of query execution, so arguably not much is lost.
Apart from simplifying the code, this PR will contribute towards making the GraphQL schema generation more modular, testable, and easier to profile. I'd like to eventually work towards a situation in which it's easy to generate a GraphQL schema parser *in isolation*, without being connected to a database, and then parse a GraphQL query *in isolation*, without even listening any HTTP port. It is important that both of these operations can be examined in detail, and in isolation, since they are two major performance bottlenecks, as well as phases where many important upcoming features hook into.
Implementation
The following have been removed:
- The entirety of `server/src-lib/Hasura/GraphQL/Execute/Plan.hs`
- The core phases of query parsing and execution no longer have any references to query plan caching. Note that this is not to be confused with query *response* caching, which is not affected by this PR. This includes removal of the types:
- - `Opaque`, which is replaced by a tuple. Note that the old implementation was broken and did not adequately hide the constructors.
- - `QueryReusability` (and the `markNotReusable` method). Notably, the implementation of the `ParseT` monad now consists of two, rather than three, monad transformers.
- Cache-related tests (in `server/src-test/Hasura/CacheBoundedSpec.hs`) have been removed .
- References to query plan caching in the documentation.
- The `planCacheOptions` in the `TenantConfig` type class was removed. However, during parsing, unrecognized fields in the YAML config get ignored, so this does not cause a breaking change. (Confirmed manually, as well as in consultation with @sordina.)
- The metrics no longer send cache hit/miss messages.
There are a few places in which one can still find references to query plan caching:
- We still accept the `--query-plan-cache-size` command-line option for backwards compatibility. The `HASURA_QUERY_PLAN_CACHE_SIZE` environment variable is not read.

## Description
Thanks to #1664, the Metadata API types no longer require a `ToJSON` instance. This PR follows up with a cleanup of the types of the arguments to the metadata API:
- whenever possible, it moves those argument types to where they're used (RQL.DDL.*)
- it removes all unrequired instances (mostly `ToJSON`)
This PR does not attempt to do it for _all_ such argument types. For some of the metadata operations, the type used to describe the argument to the API and used to represent the value in the metadata are one and the same (like for `CreateEndpoint`). Sometimes, the two types are intertwined in complex ways (`RemoteRelationship` and `RemoteRelationshipDef`). In the spirit of only doing uncontroversial cleaning work, this PR only moves types that are not used outside of RQL.DDL.
Furthermore, this is a small step towards separating the different types all jumbled together in RQL.Types.
## Notes
This PR also improves several `FromJSON` instances to make use of `withObject`, and to use a human readable string instead of a type name in error messages whenever possible. For instance:
- before: `expected Object for Object, but encountered X`
after: `expected Object for add computed field, but encountered X`
- before: `Expecting an object for update query`
after: `expected Object for update query, but encountered X`
This PR also renames `CreateFunctionPermission` to `FunctionPermissionArgument`, to remove the quite surprising `type DropFunctionPermission = CreateFunctionPermission`.
This PR also deletes some dead code, mostly in RQL.DML.
This PR also moves a PG-specific source resolving function from DDL.Schema.Source to the only place where it is used: App.hs.

Remote relationships are now supported on SQL Server and BigQuery. The major change though is the re-architecture of remote join execution logic. Prior to this PR, each backend is responsible for processing the remote relationships that are part of their AST.
This is not ideal as there is nothing specific about a remote join's execution that ties it to a backend. The only backend specific part is whether or not the specification of the remote relationship is valid (i.e, we'll need to validate whether the scalars are compatible).
The approach now changes to this:
1. Before delegating the AST to the backend, we traverse the AST, collect all the remote joins while modifying the AST to add necessary join fields where needed.
1. Once the remote joins are collected from the AST, the database call is made to fetch the response. The necessary data for the remote join(s) is collected from the database's response and one or more remote schema calls are constructed as necessary.
1. The remote schema calls are then executed and the data from the database and from the remote schemas is joined to produce the final response.
### Known issues
1. Ideally the traversal of the IR to collect remote joins should return an AST which does not include remote join fields. This operation can be type safe but isn't taken up as part of the PR.
1. There is a lot of code duplication between `Transport/HTTP.hs` and `Transport/Websocket.hs` which needs to be fixed ASAP. This too hasn't been taken up by this PR.
1. The type which represents the execution plan is only modified to handle our current remote joins and as such it will have to be changed to accommodate general remote joins.
1. Use of lenses would have reduced the boilerplate code to collect remote joins from the base AST.
1. The current remote join logic assumes that the join columns of a remote relationship appear with their names in the database response. This however is incorrect as they could be aliased. This can be taken up by anyone, I've left a comment in the code.
### Notes to the reviewers
I think it is best reviewed commit by commit.
1. The first one is very straight forward.
1. The second one refactors the remote join execution logic but other than moving things around, it doesn't change the user facing functionality. This moves Postgres specific parts to `Backends/Postgres` module from `Execute`. Some IR related code to `Hasura.RQL.IR` module. Simplifies various type class function signatures as a backend doesn't have to handle remote joins anymore
1. The third one fixes partial case matches that for some weird reason weren't shown as warnings before this refactor
1. The fourth one generalizes the validation logic of remote relationships and implements `scalarTypeGraphQLName` function on SQL Server and BigQuery which is used by the validation logic. This enables remote relationships on BigQuery and SQL Server.

Previously invalid REST endpoints would throw errors during schema cache build.
This PR changes the validation to instead add to the inconsistent metadata objects in order to allow use of `allow_inconsistent_metadata` with inconsistent REST endpoints.
All non-fatal endpoint definition errors are returned as inconsistent metadata warnings/errors depending on the use of `allow_inconsistent_metadata`. The endpoints with issues are then created and return informational runtime errors when they are called.
Console impact when creating endpoints is that error messages now refer to metadata inconsistencies rather than REST feature at the top level:

Note: Conflicting endpoints generate one error per conflicting set of endpoints due to the implementation of `groupInconsistentMetadataById` and `imObjectIds`. This is done to ensure that error messages are terse, but may pose errors if there are some assumptions made surrounding `imObjectIds`.

fixes#3868
docker image - `hasura/graphql-engine:inherited-roles-preview-48b73a2de`
Note:
To be able to use the inherited roles feature, the graphql-engine should be started with the env variable `HASURA_GRAPHQL_EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURES` set to `inherited_roles`.
Introduction
------------
This PR implements the idea of multiple roles as presented in this [paper](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/FGALanguageICDE07.pdf). The multiple roles feature in this PR can be used via inherited roles. An inherited role is a role which can be created by combining multiple singular roles. For example, if there are two roles `author` and `editor` configured in the graphql-engine, then we can create a inherited role with the name of `combined_author_editor` role which will combine the select permissions of the `author` and `editor` roles and then make GraphQL queries using the `combined_author_editor`.
How are select permissions of different roles are combined?
------------------------------------------------------------
A select permission includes 5 things:
1. Columns accessible to the role
2. Row selection filter
3. Limit
4. Allow aggregation
5. Scalar computed fields accessible to the role
Suppose there are two roles, `role1` gives access to the `address` column with row filter `P1` and `role2` gives access to both the `address` and the `phone` column with row filter `P2` and we create a new role `combined_roles` which combines `role1` and `role2`.
Let's say the following GraphQL query is queried with the `combined_roles` role.
```graphql
query {
employees {
address
phone
}
}
```
This will translate to the following SQL query:
```sql
select
(case when (P1 or P2) then address else null end) as address,
(case when P2 then phone else null end) as phone
from employee
where (P1 or P2)
```
The other parameters of the select permission will be combined in the following manner:
1. Limit - Minimum of the limits will be the limit of the inherited role
2. Allow aggregations - If any of the role allows aggregation, then the inherited role will allow aggregation
3. Scalar computed fields - same as table column fields, as in the above example
APIs for inherited roles:
----------------------
1. `add_inherited_role`
`add_inherited_role` is the [metadata API](https://hasura.io/docs/1.0/graphql/core/api-reference/index.html#schema-metadata-api) to create a new inherited role. It accepts two arguments
`role_name`: the name of the inherited role to be added (String)
`role_set`: list of roles that need to be combined (Array of Strings)
Example:
```json
{
"type": "add_inherited_role",
"args": {
"role_name":"combined_user",
"role_set":[
"user",
"user1"
]
}
}
```
After adding the inherited role, the inherited role can be used like single roles like earlier
Note:
An inherited role can only be created with non-inherited/singular roles.
2. `drop_inherited_role`
The `drop_inherited_role` API accepts the name of the inherited role and drops it from the metadata. It accepts a single argument:
`role_name`: name of the inherited role to be dropped
Example:
```json
{
"type": "drop_inherited_role",
"args": {
"role_name":"combined_user"
}
}
```
Metadata
---------
The derived roles metadata will be included under the `experimental_features` key while exporting the metadata.
```json
{
"experimental_features": {
"derived_roles": [
{
"role_name": "manager_is_employee_too",
"role_set": [
"employee",
"manager"
]
}
]
}
}
```
Scope
------
Only postgres queries and subscriptions are supported in this PR.
Important points:
-----------------
1. All columns exposed to an inherited role will be marked as `nullable`, this is done so that cell value nullification can be done.
TODOs
-------
- [ ] Tests
- [ ] Test a GraphQL query running with a inherited role without enabling inherited roles in experimental features

A while back we added [support for customizing JWT claims](https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine/pull/3575) and this enabled to map a session variable to any value within the unregistered claims, but as reported in #6449 , users aren't able to map the `x-hasura-user-id` session variable to the `sub` standard JWT claim.
This PR fixes the above issue by allowing mapping session variables to standard JWT claims as well.
