FetchConfig.java

import java.io.Serializable;

/**
 * Defines the configuration options for a "query fetch" or a
 * "lazy loading fetch". This gives you the ability to use multiple smaller
 * queries to populate an object graph as opposed to a single large query.
 * <p>
 * The primary goal is to provide efficient ways of loading complex object
 * graphs avoiding SQL Cartesian product and issues around populating object
 * graphs that have multiple *ToMany relationships.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * It also provides the ability to control the lazy loading queries (batch size,
 * selected properties and fetches) to avoid N+1 queries etc.
 * <p>
 * There can also be cases loading across a single OneToMany where 2 SQL queries
 * using Ebean FetchConfig.query() can be more efficient than one SQL query.
 * When the "One" side is wide (lots of columns) and the cardinality difference
 * is high (a lot of "Many" beans per "One" bean) then this can be more
 * efficient loaded as 2 SQL queries.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * <pre>{@code
 * // Normal fetch join results in a single SQL query
 * List<Order> list = Ebean.find(Order.class).fetch("details").findList();
 *
 * // Find Orders join details using a single SQL query
 * }</pre>
 * <p>
 * Example: Using a "query join" instead of a "fetch join" we instead use 2 SQL queries
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * <pre>{@code
 *
 * // This will use 2 SQL queries to build this object graph
 * List<Order> list =
 *     Ebean.find(Order.class)
 *         .fetch("details", new FetchConfig().query())
 *         .findList();
 *
 * // query 1) find order
 * // query 2) find orderDetails where order.id in (?,?...) // first 100 order id's
 *
 * }</pre>
 * <p>
 * Example: Using 2 "query joins"
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * <pre>{@code
 *
 * // This will use 3 SQL queries to build this object graph
 * List<Order> list =
 *     Ebean.find(Order.class)
 *         .fetch("details", new FetchConfig().query())
 *         .fetch("customer", new FetchConfig().queryFirst(5))
 *         .findList();
 *
 * // query 1) find order
 * // query 2) find orderDetails where order.id in (?,?...) // first 100 order id's
 * // query 3) find customer where id in (?,?,?,?,?) // first 5 customers
 *
 * }</pre>
 * <p>
 * Example: Using "query joins" and partial objects
 * </p>
 * <p>
 *
 * <pre>{@code
 * // This will use 3 SQL queries to build this object graph
 * List<Order> list =
 *     Ebean.find(Order.class)
 *         .select("status, shipDate")
 *         .fetch("details", "quantity, price", new FetchConfig().query())
 *         .fetch("details.product", "sku, name")
 *         .fetch("customer", "name", new FetchConfig().queryFirst(5))
 *         .fetch("customer.contacts")
 *         .fetch("customer.shippingAddress")
 *         .findList();
 *
 * // query 1) find order (status, shipDate)
 * // query 2) find orderDetail (quantity, price) fetch product (sku, name) where
 * // order.id in (?,? ...)
 * // query 3) find customer (name) fetch contacts (*) fetch shippingAddress (*)
 * // where id in (?,?,?,?,?)
 *
 * // Note: the fetch of "details.product" is automatically included into the
 * // fetch of "details"
 * //
 * // Note: the fetch of "customer.contacts" and "customer.shippingAddress"
 * // are automatically included in the fetch of "customer"
 * }</pre>
 * <p>
 * You can use query() and lazy together on a single join. The query is executed
 * immediately and the lazy defines the batch size to use for further lazy
 * loading (if lazy loading is invoked).
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * <pre>{@code
 *
 * List<Order> list =
 *     Ebean.find(Order.class)
 *         .fetch("customer", new FetchConfig().query(10).lazy(5))
 *         .findList();
 *
 * // query 1) find order
 * // query 2) find customer where id in (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?) // first 10 customers
 * // .. then if lazy loading of customers is invoked
 * // .. use a batch size of 5 to load the customers
 *
 * }</pre>
 * <p>
 * <p>
 * Example of controlling the lazy loading query:
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * This gives us the ability to optimise the lazy loading query for a given use
 * case.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * <pre>{@code
 *
 * List<Order> list = Ebean.find(Order.class)
 *   .fetch("customer","name", new FetchConfig().lazy(5))
 *   .fetch("customer.contacts","contactName, phone, email")
 *   .fetch("customer.shippingAddress")
 *   .where().eq("status",Order.Status.NEW)
 *   .findList();
 *
 * // query 1) find order where status = Order.Status.NEW
 * //
 * // .. if lazy loading of customers is invoked
 * // .. use a batch size of 5 to load the customers
