Fix for HQL query plan regenerate problem #3069

Fixes #3069

[bahusoid]

Many failed tests... Looks like Arithmetic Operations should be removed from IsConstantExpression or more sophisticated check is needed for them.

Hi @bahusoid @hazzik, Linq has really performance issues with non cacheable queries and we are trying to overcome these issues, but we think some improvments is possible to cache queries as much as possible. Because as you can see below query plan generation is takes too much and in our case its bigger then selecting data from database.

We also cannot figure out why QueryPlanCache.GetHqlQueryPlan called twice(expanded queries) and takes 7.23ms, DefaultQueryProvider.ExecuteList takes 9.9ms, it's not acceptable.

Now I am stuck with failing test, I cannot go furher what could we do?

• ExpandedQuery -> QueryPlan.Transformers[0].ReturnTypes[i] == null, i is Constant Parameter's index. I can not find where it copies because it hits second time 'GetHqlQueryPlan' method. First call successfully gets all ReturnTypes.
• DateTime.Now, DateTime.Today, Random(fails some dialects) why it does not add to hql, if its supported functions If I can check wheter is supported functions or not I can check it inside of IsConstantExpression.

Postgresql Current test results are:

We are using Dynatrace to monitor system and find bottle-necks, above image taken from there.

From simple change it's converted to something else. Let's focus on simple fix in this PR and expression types that require additional handling be moved in separate PR.

I have spent quite time to handle most of issues, I agree its not simple fix but you know that we have to fix this kind of performance issues. We are ready to contribute. Please consider your judment and guide us how to fix remaining issues.

by the way @cokalyoncu is my colleague

I think blocking issue with this change is `ExpandedQueryExpression' because creates multiple QueryPlanCache for every parameter with type of array,collection,list. Its bigger issue than we realize. @bahusoid

For example if you have a query like this, 'guids.Contains(x.Id) && requestDates.Contains(x.RequestDate)'

1. guids.Count = 1 and request.Dates.Count = 1 then generates 1 query plan
2. guids.Count = 2 and request.Dates.Count = 1 then generates 1 query plan
3. guids.Count = 1 and request.Dates.Count = 2 then generates 1 query plan

Total generated query plan is 3 for just one query that has several list parameters.

Above scenario shows that how its in-effective for collection parameters I think for collection parameters parameter naming and setting value must be just before command execute. Just like filters NHibernate uses 'FilterHelper.ExpandDynamicFilterParameters' to handle this.

I have opened several issues past years about query plan caching let we make it better, but above scenario is complex and I don't have a clue how to do it.

Pros removing ExpandedQueryExpression

• less memory causing generation of sql statements for collections
• Better performance for all collection inquieries

Same perspective you already did with https://github.com/nhibernate/nhibernate-core/pull/2959

@maca88 already did better fix things we are talking about. #2375 #2079 Will #2375 #2079 be merged any time soon?

@maca88 What dou you think about below issue?

@maca88 @hazzik @bahusoid @fredericDelaporte Why no one interesting about this issue, it’s currently hurting performance very bad already focused time to time ? #2375 #2079 implemented @maca88 about 2 years ago. A lot of folks reported these issues including us. I would ilke to ask what are we waiting to fix Nhibernate Linq provider.

[fredericDelaporte]

It seems to me part of the reason is written here:

[hazzik]

could you please tell us, what are the necessary changes ... pull request needs to merge.

These 2 PRs are 80 changed files each. They need a very careful review and debug before anyone really could assess and verify them. But we're all volunteers here and are giving our support to NHibernate in our free time (plus some out of pocket expenses on top). Basically - the rule of thumb - the smaller less invasive changes the faster PR get merged.

Below are the summary of changes that needs to be done for the PRs:

• #2375
  • Resolve conflicts
  • Code review
• #2079
  • Resolve conflicts
  • Code review
• This PR
  • Fix tests
  • Code review

Hi @hazzik thank you for your response, I want to help but, I am not feeling comfortable to work @maca88's changes they are too much compilcated for me. Changes in this our pr is a the tip of the iceberg better fix already done in @maca88 prs I think.

Current linq provider has realy bad performance issues mentioned above and that will be resolved with @maca88 changes.

• Summary Most of linq(That contains constants/binary operators/colasce/conditinal operators at select command, "in (:Parameters)" at where command) is not cached, all linq -> hql -> sql process takes more time reading records from database. Mentioned above.

I could help in testing and necessary debugging if you lead me, also we are using nh dev builds if anything is broken after a merge we could identify it.

It will be great improvement for linq nhibernate user, I kindly ask to you would you prioritize them.
