perf(sqllab): Rendering perf improvement using immutable state #20877

justinpark · 2022-07-26T22:44:13Z

SUMMARY

The main rendering in SqlLab is managed by the queryEditors state from redux(state machine).
Each queryEditor state has been updated whenever an editor configuration has updated.

Since most components observes entire queryEditor state not specific attributes, any queryEditor updates trigger multiple repainting even if no visual changes impacted.

For example, when a user types any single character in the ace(sql) editor, it triggers the update for selectedText value in the active queryEditor state. This single change will trigger the following components repainted (though this change won't impact the left and bottom panels at all)

This unrelated repainting job causes the performance delay especially when table list is humongous.

The delay can be found in the following performance analysis due to the unnecessary repainting/redux post processes.

This commit fixes this performance issue by optimizing observers in each component to subscribe only related items.
To minimize the regression issue from existing persistence state, this commit keeps the existing queryEditors state but make it immutable during the tab is active and only updates when the tab is switched. It introduces unsavedQueryEditor state which stores all these active changes.

With this update, the page rendering performance improved 3.5x faster(from 4.5s to 1.3s) and verified all unnecessary tasks cleaned.

TESTING INSTRUCTIONS

Go to SqlLab
Choose a database and a schema that includes a large set of table list
Open chrome console > Performance tab
Select Caption settings on right menu
Change CPU throttling to 6x slowdown
type a string in the sql editor and then watch the refresh icon on the left panel (it will blink during repainting)

All the SQL Lab code is a mystery to me. But I've tested this quite extensively locally and did see significant improvements in typing performance in SQL editor. I trust the test cases to make sure the majority of the happy paths are still happy.

+    schemaOptions: [{ value: 'main', label: 'main', title: 'main' }],


why are we changing this to title

@hughhhh This change(title -> name) accidentally happened here while the PR made the change for queryEditor title to name.

cc: @lyndsiWilliams

I reverted this change to pass the type role since I'm following this type definition

and it's also allocated as title here:

superset/superset-frontend/src/components/DatabaseSelector/index.tsx

Lines 224 to 228 in eb5369f

const options = json.result.map((s: string) => ({

value: s,

label: s,

title: s,

why are casting as any and then ISaveableDatasource here

oh it needed this custom type cast but no longer needed. I reverted this change.

if persistedState is null or undefined, this will error when you try to spread it. I'd recommend a default of an empty object.. maybe something like
