fix(book): stop N+1 SELECT on comicMetadata in findAllWithMetadata*#2523nfvelten wants to merge 4 commits into
Conversation
@EntityGraph does not honour the nested to-one path metadata.comicMetadata (no join is produced), leaving comicMetadata lazy and triggering one SELECT per book when BookMapperV2 reads it. Replaced with explicit LEFT JOIN FETCH on findAllWithMetadata() and findAllWithMetadataByLibraryIds(). Fixes grimmory-tools#2482

exercise findAllWithMetadataByLibraryIds(List.of(library.getId())) using the
same fixture. Clear Hibernate statistics before each query, and assert the fixed
statement-count upper bound for the fetch plan rather than deriving it from
bookCount.

Learning: In backend unit tests (Java files under backend/src/test/java), do not flag hardcoded placeholder filesystem paths (e.g., setting LibraryPathEntity.path = "/example") as violations when the value is intentionally unused for filesystem access. Only suppress the "no hardcoded paths" concern if the test does not perform any filesystem/network IO using that path (no reads/writes/Files.* calls or code paths that access the filesystem with that value); if the placeholder is actually used to touch the filesystem, flag it.

Declare read-only transactions on both query methods.
BookRepository.findAllWithMetadata() and findAllWithMetadataByLibraryIds(...) are custom @Query methods without transaction annotations. Their direct caller, BookQueryService, also has no @Transactional boundary. Add @Transactional(readOnly = true) to both methods, or enforce the same contract at the caller.

Source: Path instructions
…etadataPage Per the issue's own follow-up measurements, the same silently-ignored nested EntityGraph path hits the browse endpoint (findAllWithMetadataByIds) and the legacy admin listing (findAllWithMetadataPage), not just findAllWithMetadata. Applied the same LEFT JOIN FETCH fix to both and added statement-count regression tests for each. Also fixed a pre-existing test (findAllWithMetadataByIds_executesAgainstJpaMetamodel) that hardcoded book id 1L instead of using the persisted book's actual id — it only passed by accident when run first in the class, and broke once IDENTITY allocation moved past 1 due to the new tests.
…bound Per review feedback: the regression tests only covered findAllWithMetadata, leaving findAllWithMetadataByLibraryIds unguarded, and the isLessThan(bookCount) bound would still pass an N-1 regression. Added the missing test and switched all four to a fixed upper bound, since each fetch plan issues one SELECT (plus one COUNT for the paged variant) regardless of book count.

BookEntity.libraryPath is nullable (@joincolumn without nullable=false), and BookEntity.getFilePath() already treats a null libraryPath as valid. The inner JOIN FETCH introduced for the comicMetadata fix silently dropped books with no library path from findAllWithMetadataByIds and findAllWithMetadataPage, unlike the entity graph they replaced. Switched both to LEFT JOIN FETCH and added a regression test per method.

Description
@EntityGraphdoesn't honour the nested to-one pathmetadata.comicMetadata, so no join is produced,comicMetadatastays lazy, and every caller that reads it (BookMapperV2.mapMetadata) fires one extra SELECT per book. Replacing the entity graph with an explicitLEFT JOIN FETCHcollapses that back to a single statement.Per the follow-up measurements in the issue, this affects four repository methods, not only the one originally reported:
findAllWithMetadata(), the case in the issuefindAllWithMetadataByLibraryIds(), non-admin/api/v1/booksfindAllWithMetadataByIds(), the browse path (sort/facet/query/cursor), used widelyfindAllWithMetadataPage(), legacy admin listingLinked Issue
Fixes #2482
Changes
BookRepository: replaced@EntityGraphwith explicitLEFT JOIN FETCHon the four methods above.libraryPathis fetched withLEFT JOIN FETCHtoo, since it is nullable and an inner join would silently drop books without a library path.BookRepositoryDataJpaTest: added one statement-count regression test per method. Each persists N books with nocomic_metadatarow, runs the query, touchesgetComicMetadata()on every result, and asserts the Hibernate statement count does not scale with N.findAllWithMetadataByIds_executesAgainstJpaMetamodel) that hardcoded book id1Linstead of the persisted id. It only passed when it happened to run first in the class, and broke once IDENTITY allocation moved past 1 because of the new tests.Manual Testing Steps
