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`.

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
- [] Tests for aggregate queries, limit, computed fields, functions, subscriptions (?)
- [ ] Introspection test with a inherited role (nullability changes in a inherited role)
- [ ] Docs
- [ ] Changelog

- [x] **Event Triggers Metrics**
- [x] Distribution of size of event trigger fetches / Number of events fetched in the last `event trigger fetch`
- [x] Event Triggers: Number of event trigger HTTP workers in process
- [x] Event Triggers: Avg event trigger lock time (if an event has been fetched but not processed because http worker is not free)
#### Sample response
The metrics can be viewed from the `/dev/ekg` endpoint
```json
{
"num_events_fetched":{
"max":0,
"mean":0,
"count":1,
"min":0,
"variance":null,
"type":"d",
"sum":0
},
"num_event_trigger_http_workers":{
"type":"g",
"val":0
},
"event_lock_time":{
"max":0,
"mean":0,
"count":0,
"min":0,
"variance":0,
"type":"d",
"sum":0
},
```
#### Todo
- [ ] Group similar metrics together (Eg: Group all the metrics related to Event trigger, How do we do it??)

Additional documentation for REST queries with respect to how url template variables and query variables are interpreted.
* Route variables and Query parameters are interpreted as scalars according to the variables types in the associated query and passed as JSON data through the query variables:
* Missing nullable variables are interpreted as NULL
* Boolean variables are interpreted as Bools
* Boolean flags without values e.g. ``/api/rest/myquery?mybool`` are interpreted as True for boolean variables
* String variables are interpreted as literal Strings
* UUID variables are interpreted as strings
* ID variables are interpreted as strings
* Number, Int, Float, and Double variables are interpreted as Numbers
* All other types or mismatches currently report variable type errors
