-- = Reasonably efficient PostgreSQL live queries
--
-- The module implements /query multiplexing/, which is our implementation strategy for live queries
-- (i.e. GraphQL subscriptions) made against Postgres. Fundamentally, our implementation is built
-- around polling, which is never ideal, but its a lot easier to implement than trying to do something
-- event-based. To minimize the resource cost of polling, we use /multiplexing/, which is essentially
-- a two-tier batching strategy.
--
-- == The high-level idea
--
-- The objective is to minimize the number of concurrent polling workers to reduce database load as
-- much as possible. A very naïve strategy would be to group identical queries together so we only have
-- one poller per /unique/ active subscription. Thats a good start, but of course, in practice, most
-- queries differ slightly. However, it happens that they very frequently /only differ in their
-- variables/ (that is, GraphQL query variables and session variables), and in those cases, we try to
-- generated parameterized SQL. This means that the same prepared SQL query can be reused, just with a
-- different set of variables.
--
-- To give a concrete example, consider the following query:
--
-- > subscription vote_count($post_id: Int!) {
-- > vote_count(where: {post_id: {_eq: $post_id}}) {
-- > votes
-- > }
-- > }
--
-- No matter what the client provides for @$post_id@, we will always generate the same SQL:
--
-- > SELECT votes FROM vote_count WHERE post_id = $1
--
-- If multiple clients subscribe to @vote_count@, we can certainly reuse the same prepared query. For
-- example, imagine we had 10 concurrent subscribers, each listening on a distinct @$post_id@:
--
-- > let postIds = [3, 11, 32, 56, 13, 97, 24, 43, 109, 48]
--
-- We could iterate over @postIds@ in Haskell, executing the same prepared query 10 times:
--
-- > for postIds $ \postId ->
-- > Q.listQE defaultTxErrorHandler preparedQuery (Identity postId) True
--
-- Sadly, that on its own isnt good enough. The overhead of running each query is large enough that
-- Postgres becomes overwhelmed if we have to serve lots of concurrent subscribers. Therefore, what we
-- want to be able to do is somehow make one query instead of ten.
--
-- === Multiplexing
--
-- This is where multiplexing comes in. By taking advantage of Postgres
-- <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/queries-table-expressions.html#QUERIES-LATERAL lateral joins>,
-- we can do the iteration in Postgres rather than in Haskell, allowing us to pay the query overhead
-- just once for all ten subscribers. Essentially, lateral joins add 'map'-like functionality to SQL,
-- so we can run our query once per @$post_id@:
--
-- > SELECT results.votes
-- > FROM unnest($1::integer[]) query_variables (post_id)
-- > LEFT JOIN LATERAL (
-- > SELECT coalesce(json_agg(votes), '[]')
-- > FROM vote_count WHERE vote_count.post_id = query_variables.post_id
-- > ) results ON true
--
-- If we generalize this approach just a little bit more, we can apply this transformation to arbitrary
-- queries parameterized over arbitrary session and query variables!
--
-- == Implementation overview
--
-- To support query multiplexing, we maintain a tree of the following types, where @>@ should be read
-- as “contains”:
--
-- @
-- 'LiveQueriesState' > 'Poller' > 'Cohort' > 'Subscriber'
-- @
--
-- Heres a brief summary of each types role:
--
-- * A 'Subscriber' is an actual client with an open websocket connection.
--
-- * A 'Cohort' is a set of 'Subscriber's that are all subscribed to the same query /with the exact
-- same variables/. (By batching these together, we can do better than multiplexing, since we can
-- just query the data once.)
--
-- * A 'Poller' is a worker thread for a single, multiplexed query. It fetches data for a set of
-- 'Cohort's that all use the same parameterized query, but have different sets of variables.
--
-- * Finally, the 'LiveQueriesState' is the top-level container that holds all the active 'Poller's.
--
-- Additional details are provided by the documentation for individual bindings.
