Marcell Ortutay commented on PHOENIX-4666:
------------------------------------------
Yea I can add a summary on the PR. Until then, answering the questions here:
(1) I'm not sure actually. it was there before I made any modification.
(2) The naming on this is a bit bad. But basically, my approach was this: on
first pass, assume caches are present and run the query. Then catch the
exception if they are not present. If they are not present, disable use of
persistent cache for not available in StatementContext's
"Map<ImmutableBytesPtr,ServerCache> caches" map. Then, re-run the query
expecting it to work. Let me know if this is unclear at all; I'll put it in the
summary.

> ----
> A Phoenix query may contain expensive subqueries, and moreover those
> expensive subqueries may be used across multiple different queries. While
> whole result caching is possible at the application level, it is not possible
> to cache subresults in the application. This can cause bad performance for
> queries in which the subquery is the most expensive part of the query, and
> the application is powerless to do anything at the query level. It would be
> good if Phoenix provided a way to cache subquery results, as it would provide
> a significant performance gain.
> An illustrative example:
> SELECT * FROM table1 JOIN (SELECT id_1 FROM large_table WHERE x = 10)
> expensive_result ON table1.id_1 = expensive_result.id_2 AND table1.id_1 =
> \{id}
> In this case, the subquery "expensive_result" is expensive to compute, but it
> doesn't change between queries. The rest of the query does because of the
> \{id} parameter. This means the application can't cache it, but it would be
> good if there was a way to cache expensive_result.
> Note that there is currently a coprocessor based "server cache", but the data
> in this "cache" is not persisted across queries. It is deleted after a TTL
> expires (30sec by default), or when the query completes.
> This is issue is fairly high priority for us at 23andMe and we'd be happy to
> provide a patch with some guidance from Phoenix maintainers. We are currently
> putting together a design document for a solution, and we'll post it to this
> Jira ticket for review in a few days.
