[DataViews] Fix excessive `resolve_index` requests in create data view flyout #109500

Dosant · 2021-08-20T15:39:34Z

Summary

close #108854

Tried to reduce the number of network calls:

Opening the flyout and typing `abc`:

BEFORE

AFTER

There could be other edge cases

+  // to get a stable reference to avoid hooks re-run and reduce number of excessive requests
+  const [
+    {
+      title = schema.title.defaultValue,


Looks like internally useFormData has some before init state, where these all returns undefined even though default values are specified in the schema.

Initial switches between undefined and "" caused some redundant effects re-run

I didn't work with our form lib before, so not sure if there is a better approach

I did notice this was happening. This seems like a bug with the form lib. What do you think @sebelga ?

👍 on finding a work around!

I wouldn't say it's a bug, it is more an unpleasant side effect on how the architecture and react hook lifecycle work. I looked into it while working on #109238 but decided to keep that PR focused. It is on my radar and will see what can be done.

For you information this is how the data flow works:

You call the hook and ask for the value --> the field is not mounted yet so its value is undefined

In a useEffect() inside <UseField /> the field mounts and say to the form: "I am here!" --> this updates the field value and the useFormData hook triggers an update that you receive.

You can pass any number of fields inside the schema (that might not actually exist in the form) but the source of truth of real fields rendered in the form is the DOM (JSX) --> so when a field mounts and say to the form it is there. This is why I don't rely on the schema to return defaultValue because the field might not exist.

For now, the consumer has to do the check manually:

if (title === undefined) { return; }

I'll give it more thought to improve this unexpected behaviour 👍

If resolving the behavior is more difficult than expected it would be good to document it.

I added this to avoid a race-condition where we can override more recent request with older response

Had to extract loadMatchedIndices into a separate function to wrap it into memoize-one. Otherwise, eslint-hooks complained that it can't resolve args.
I kept it in the current file to keep it simpler.

Looks like we don't need to make a request while isLoadingSources didn't resolve. I short cut it

memoizeOne is the simplest way I can think of to share the state between validation and component side-effect.

I was thinking in refactoring the code code once #109238 is merged so I am not sure we need to optimise for now.

You can see in the documentation I wrote how this will be implemented here

https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/109238/files#diff-4ca1882173722332a4f281526d2ac2e11e0ad7fbe3acbf88e1641d58ba859093R296

@sebelga, I've just tried to remove it and I get 3 network requests on each keystroke instead of 1 without it.
Do you think this quick trick doesn't worth it? I also planned to backport to at least 7.15 (looking at it like on a bug).
We can still refactor in 7.16+ when using your new API. wdyt?
I am open to reverting, just want to make sure we consider this ^^

Cool yes the trick is worth it and we can remove it later on 👍 Surprised it is 3 requests and not 2. But still worth it 😊

The side effect inside the parent component

Mmmm. Can you point me to that code? The parent component also triggers a "fetchIndices()"?

This is where fetch №2 happens:

The side effect inside the parent component

kibana/src/plugins/index_pattern_editor/public/components/index_pattern_editor_flyout_content.tsx

Line 295 in 0a8d42c

reloadMatchedIndices(title);

I see on L286

useEffect(() => { reloadMatchedIndices(title); }, [allowHidden, reloadMatchedIndices, title]);

I am not sure I fully understand why we need this. I thought it was the validator inside the titleField that was triggering the reload. Why do we need also this effect?

So if I understand correctly, you call twice the reloadMatchedIndices? Once inside the validation (when title changes) and once in this useEffect again when title changes? It seems that the useEffect is redundant (it also has allowHidden dependency which should not be there).

(it also has allowHidden dependency which should not be there).

yes, I agree.

It seems that the useEffect is redundant

Hm, it is indeed might be redundant. I haven't tried to remove it

Thanks for working on this @Dosant ! I indeed saw those requests and there a few optimisation that the form lib could do to reduce them.

A long standing one to debounce the validation requests ([Form Lib] Add option to debounce async validations #79607)
I just opened this one: add an option to indicate that a validation is asynchronous ([Form lib] Add option to indicate that a validator is asynchronous #109628)

As I added in my comment I would revert the changes (memoizeOne()) you made to improve the indirection of loading the indices from the validation as #109238 will solve that problem and will make the code much easier to reason about.

I usually use a counter for this purpose and simply increment it.

const currentLoadingMatchedIndicesRef = useRef(0); ... const fetchIndices = async (query: string = '') => { const idx = ++currentLoadingMatchedIndicesRef.current; ... if (idx === currentLoadingMatchedIndicesRef.current) { // update states } }

looks good, easier to understand then the trick with ref to an object

Happy to merge with your fix to reduce 3 requests to 1 and refactor once the new form lib API is merged. Great work! 👍
