Two challenges with error messages
- always provide a useful/meaningful error message for the end user
instead of the generic one. eg: show "Wrong password" and not "An error
occured"
- avoid technical details unless error regards a technical feature. eg:
show "An error occured" and not "Invalid post-hook payload."; but do
show "Invalid issuer URL." as it occurs while configuring SSO
What this PR does
- Make userFriendlyMessage mandatory for widely used
GraphqlQueryRunnerException and CommonQueryRunnerException, so that
developers are forced to ask themselves what the error message should
be, and as it contains very wide error codes (eg: "Bad request") which
should not be mapped to just one default message
- Keep userFriendlyMessage optional for service-specific exceptions (eg:
workflowStepExecutorException), but convert the error code to
userFriendlyMessage mapper to a switch case function with a typecheck
ensuring that all codes are mapped to a message. These default messages
are still overridable where they are thrown.
## Context
Deprecating the old objectMetadataMap type in favour of split flat
entities to match with our new caching.
In the long run, trying to achieve:
- Better performance through caching
- Consistent data access patterns across the codebase
- Reduced database queries
Now that everything is based on flat entities, which are cached, we can
finish the refactoring of workspace context cache which should already
improve performances.
Then the last step will be to consume that new cache in the new global
datasource to get rid of the many workspace datasources stored in the
server
In this PR:
## Improve recompute metadata cache performance. We are aiming for
~100ms
Deleting relationMetadata table and FKs pointing on it
Fetching indexMetadata and indexFieldMetadata in a separate query as
typeorm is suboptimizing
## Remove caching lock
As recomputing the metadata cache is lighter, we try to stop preventing
multiple concurrent computations. This also simplifies interfaces
## Introduce self recovery mecanisms to recompute cache automatically if
corrupted
Aka getFreshObjectMetadataMaps
## custom object resolver performance improvement: 1sec to 200ms
Double check queries and indexes used while creating a custom object
Remove the queries to db to use the cached objectMetadataMap
## reduce objectMetadataMaps to 500kb

We used to stored 3 fieldMetadataMaps (byId, byName, byJoinColumnName).
While this is great for devXP, this is not great for performances.
Using the same mecanisme as for objectMetadataMap: we only keep byIdMap
and introduce two otherMaps to idByName, idByJoinColumnName to make the
bridge
## Add dataloader on IndexMetadata (aka indexMetadataList in the API)
## Improve field resolver performances too
## Deprecate ClientConfig
# Fix cursor-based pagination with lexicographic ordering for composite
fields
## Bug
The existing cursor-based pagination implementation had a bug when
handling composite fields.
When paginating through results sorted by composite fields (like
`fullName` with sub-properties `firstName` and`lastName`), the WHERE
conditions generated for cursor positioning were incorrect, leading to
records being skipped.
The previous implementation was generating wrong WHERE conditions:
For example, when paginating with a cursor like `{ firstName: 'John',
lastName: 'Doe' }`, it would generate:
```sql
WHERE firstName > 'John' AND lastName > 'Doe'
```
This is incorrect because it would miss records like `{ firstName:
'John', lastName: 'Smith' }` which should be included in forward
pagination.
## Fix
Create a new util to use proper lexicographic order when sorting a
composite field.
