3
+ * An async_thread_pool Database extension has been added, which
4
+ executes queries and processes results using a separate thread
5
+ pool. This allows you do do things like:
6
+
7
+ foos = DB[:foos].async.all
8
+ bars = DB[:bars].async.select_map(:name)
9
+ foo_bars = DB[:foo_bars].async.each{|x| p x}
10
+
11
+ and have the three method calls (all, select_map, and each)
12
+ execute concurrently. On Ruby implementations without a global
13
+ VM lock, such as JRuby, it will allow for parallel execution of
14
+ the method calls. On CRuby, the main benefit will be for cases
15
+ where query execution takes a long time or there is significant
16
+ latency between the application and the database.
17
+
18
+ When you call a method on foos, bars, or foo_bars, if the thread
19
+ pool hasn't finished processing the method, the calling code will
20
+ block until the method call has finished.
21
+
22
+ By default, for consistency, calling code will not preempt the
23
+ async thread pool. For example, if you do:
24
+
25
+ DB[:foos].async.all.size
26
+
27
+ The calling code will always wait for the async thread pool to
28
+ run the all method, and then the calling code will call size on
29
+ the result. This ensures that async queries will not use the
30
+ same connection as the the calling thread, even if calling thread
31
+ has a connection checked out.
32
+
33
+ In some cases, such as when the async thread pool is very busy,
34
+ preemption is desired for performance reasons. If you set the
35
+ :preempt_async_thread Database option before loading the
36
+ async_thread_pool extension, preemption will be allowed. With
37
+ preemption allowed, if the async thread pool has not started the
38
+ processing of the method at the time the calling code needs the
39
+ results of the method, the calling code will preempt the async
40
+ thread pool, and run the method on the current thread.
41
+
42
+ By default, the async thread pool uses the same number of threads as
43
+ the Database objects :max_connections attribute (the default for
44
+ that is 4). You can modify the number of async threads by setting
45
+ the :num_async_threads Database option before loading the Database
46
+ async_thread_pool extension.
47
+
48
+ Most Dataset methods that execute queries on the database and return
49
+ results will operate asynchronously if the the dataset is set to be
50
+ asynchronous via the Dataset#async method. This includes most
51
+ methods available due to the inclusion in Enumerable, even if not
52
+ defined by Dataset itself.
53
+
54
+ There are multiple caveats when using the async_thread_pool
55
+ extension:
56
+
57
+ * Asynchronous behavior is harder to understand and harder to
58
+ debug. It would be wise to only use this support in cases where
59
+ it provides is significant performance benefit.
60
+
61
+ * Dataset methods executed asynchronously will use a separate
62
+ database connection than the calling thread, so they will not
63
+ respect transactions in the calling thread, or other cases where
64
+ the calling thread checks out a connection directly using
65
+ Database#synchronize. They will also not respect the use of
66
+ Database#with_server (from the server_block extension) in the
67
+ calling thread.
68
+
69
+ * Dataset methods executed asynchronously should never ignore their
70
+ return value. Code such as:
71
+
72
+ DB[:table].async.insert(1)
73
+
74
+ is probablematic because without storing the return value, you
75
+ have no way to block until the insert has been completed.
76
+
77
+ * The returned object for Dataset methods executed asynchronously is
78
+ a proxy object (promise). So you should never do:
79
+
80
+ row = DB[:table].async.first
81
+ # ...
82
+ if row
83
+ end
84
+
85
+ # or:
86
+
87
+ bool = DB[:table].async.get(:boolean_column)
88
+ # ...
89
+ if bool
90
+ end
91
+
92
+ because the if branches will always be taken as row and bool will
93
+ never be nil or false. If you want to get the underlying value,
94
+ call itself on the proxy object (or __value if using Ruby <2.2).
95
+
96
+ For the same reason, you should not use the proxy objects directly
97
+ in case expressions or as arguments to Class#===. Use itself or
98
+ __value in those cases.
99
+
100
+ * Dataset methods executed asynchronously that include blocks have the
101
+ block executed asynchronously as well, assuming that the method
102
+ calls the block. Because these blocks are executed in a separate
103
+ thread, you cannot use control flow modifiers such as break or
104
+ return in them.
105
+
106
+ * An async_thread_pool model plugin has been added. This requires the
107
+ async_thread_pool extension has been loaded into the model's Database
108
+ object, and allows you to call Model.async instead of
109
+ Model.dataset.async. It also adds async support to the destroy,
110
+ with_pk, and with_pk! model dataset methods.
111
+
112
+ * Model#to_json_data has been added to the json_serializer plugin, for
113
+ returning a hash of data that can be converted to JSON, instead of
114
+ a JSON string.
115
+
116
+ * A :reject_nil option has been added to the nested_attributes method
117
+ in the nested_attributes plugin. This will ignore calls to the
118
+ nested attributes setter method where nil is passed as the setter
119
+ method argument.

+ * Model#freeze in the composition, serialization, and
127

128
+ where validation would end up loading the composed or

3
+ * A column_encryption plugin has been added to support encrypting the
4
+ content of individual columns in a table.
5
+
6
+ Column values are encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a per-value
7
+ cipher key derived from a key provided in the configuration using
8
+ HMAC-SHA256.
9
+
10
+ If you would like to support encryption of columns in more than one
11
+ model, you should probably load the plugin into the parent class of
12
+ your models and specify the keys:
13
+
14
+ Sequel::Model.plugin :column_encryption do |enc|
15
+ enc.key 0, ENV["SEQUEL_COLUMN_ENCRYPTION_KEY"]
16
+ end
17
+
18
+ This specifies a single master encryption key. Unless you are
19
+ actively rotating keys, it is best to use a single master key.
20
+
21
+ In the above call, 0 is the id of the key, and
22
+ ENV["SEQUEL_COLUMN_ENCRYPTION_KEY"] is the content of the key, which
23
+ must be a string with exactly 32 bytes. As indicated, this key
24
+ should not be hardcoded or otherwise committed to the source control
25
+ repository.
26
+
27
+ For models that need encrypted columns, you load the plugin again,
28
+ but specify the columns to encrypt:
29
+
30
+ ConfidentialModel.plugin :column_encryption do |enc|
31
+ enc.column :encrypted_column_name
32
+ enc.column :searchable_column_name, searchable: true
33
+ enc.column :ci_searchable_column_name, searchable: :case_insensitive
34
+ end
35
+
36
+ With this, all three specified columns (encrypted_column_name,
37
+ searchable_column_name, and ci_searchable_column_name) will be
38
+ marked as encrypted columns. When you run the following code:
39
+
40
+ ConfidentialModel.create(
41
+ encrypted_column_name: 'These',
42
+ searchable_column_name: 'will be',
43
+ ci_searchable_column_name: 'Encrypted'
44
+ )
45
+
46
+ It will save encrypted versions to the database.
47
+ encrypted_column_name will not be searchable, searchable_column_name
48
+ will be searchable with an exact match, and
49
+ ci_searchable_column_name will be searchable with a case insensitive
50
+ match.
51
+
52
+ To search searchable encrypted columns, use with_encrypted_value.
53
+ This example code will return the model instance created in the code
54
+ example in the previous section:
55
+
56
+ ConfidentialModel.
57
+ with_encrypted_value(:searchable_column_name, "will be")
58
+ with_encrypted_value(:ci_searchable_column_name, "encrypted").
59
+ first
60
+
61
+ To rotate encryption keys, add a new key above the existing key,
62
+ with a new key ID:
63
+
64
+ Sequel::Model.plugin :column_encryption do |enc|
65
+ enc.key 1, ENV["SEQUEL_COLUMN_ENCRYPTION_KEY"]
66
+ enc.key 0, ENV["SEQUEL_OLD_COLUMN_ENCRYPTION_KEY"]
67
+ end
68
+
69
+ Newly encrypted data will then use the new key. Records encrypted
70
+ with the older key will still be decrypted correctly.
71
+
72
+ To force reencryption for existing records that are using the older
73
+ key, you can use the needing_reencryption dataset method and the
74
+ reencrypt instance method. For a small number of records, you can
75
+ probably do:
76
+
77
+ ConfidentialModel.needing_reencryption.all(&:reencrypt)
78
+
79
+ With more than a small number of records, you'll want to do this in
80
+ batches. It's possible you could use an approach such as:
81
+
82
+ ds = ConfidentialModel.needing_reencryption.limit(100)
83
+ true until ds.all(&:reencrypt).empty?
84
+
85
+ After all values have been reencrypted for all models, and no models
86
+ use the older encryption key, you can remove it from the
87
+ configuration:
88
+
89
+ Sequel::Model.plugin :column_encryption do |enc|
90
+ enc.key 1, ENV["SEQUEL_COLUMN_ENCRYPTION_KEY"]
91
+ end
92
+
93
+ The column_encryption plugin supports encrypting serialized data,
94
+ as well as enforcing uniquenss of searchable encrypted columns
95
+ (in the absence of key rotation). By design, it does not support
96
+ compression, mixing encrypted and unencrypted data in the same
97

3
+ * A concurrent_eager_loading plugin has been added. This plugin
4
+ builds on top of the async_thread_pool Database extension and
5
+ allows eager loading multiple associations concurrently in
6
+ separate threads. With this plugin, you can mark datasets for
7
+ concurrent eager loading using eager_load_concurrently:
8
+
9
+ Album.eager_load_concurrently.eager(:artist, :genre, :tracks).all
10

11
+ Datasets that are marked for concurrent eager loading will use
12
+ concurrent eager loading if they are eager loading more than one
13
+ association. If you would like to make concurrent eager loading
14
+ the default, you can load the plugin with the :always option.
15
+
16
+ All of the association types that ship with Sequel now support
17
+ concurrent eager loading when using this plugin. For custom eager
18
+ loaders using the :eager_loader association option, please see the
19
+ documentation for the plugin for how to enable custom eager loading
20

3
+ * An unused_associations plugin has been added, which allows you to
4
+ determine which associations and association methods are not used.
5
+ You can use this to avoid defining the unused associations and
6
+ association methods, which can save memory.
7
+
8
+ This plugin is supported on Ruby 2.5+, and uses method coverage to
9
+ determine if the plugin's methods are called. Because Sequel::Model
10
+ adds association methods to an anonymous module included in the
11
+ class, directly using the method coverage data to determine which
12
+ associations are used is challenging.
13
+
14
+ This plugin is mostly designed for reporting. You can have a
15
+ test suite that runs with method coverage enabled, and use the
16
+ coverage information to get data on unused associations:
17
+
18
+ # Calls Coverage.result
19
+ cov_data = Sequel::Model.update_associations_coverage
20
+ unused_associations_data = Sequel::Model.update_unused_associations_data(coverage_data: cov_data)
21
+ Sequel::Model.unused_associations(unused_associations_data: unused_associations_data)
22
+ # => [["Class1", "assoc1"], ...]
23
+
24
+ unused_associations returns an array of two element arrays, where
25
+ the first element is the class name and the second element is the
26
+ association name. The returned values will be associations where
27
+ all of the association methods are not used.
28
+
29
+ In addition to determining which associations are not used, you can
30
+ also use this to determine if you are defining association methods
31
+ that are not used:
32
+
33
+ Sequel::Model.unused_association_options(unused_associations_data: unused_associations_data)
34
+ # => [["Class2", "assoc2", {:read_only=>true}], ...]
35
+
36
+ unused_association_options is similar to unused_associations, but
37
+ returns an array of three element arrays, where the third element
38
+ is a hash of association options that should be used to avoid
39
+ defining the unused association methods. It's common in Sequel to
40
+ define associations and only use them for reading data and not for
41
+ modifications, and you can use this to easily see which associations
42
+ are only used for reading data.
43
+
44
+ As the determination of whether associations are used is based on
45
+ method coverage, this will report as unused any associations that are
46
+ used but where the association methods are not called. These cases
47
+ are rare, but can happen if you have libraries that use the
48
+ association reflection metadata without calling the association
49
+ methods, or use the association only in combination with another
50
+ plugin such as dataset_associations. You can set the :is_used
51
+ association option to explicitly mark an association as used, and
52
+ have this plugin avoid reporting it as unused.
53
+
54
+ In addition to just reporting on unused associations, you can also
55
+ directly use the unused associations metadata to automatically avoid
56
+ defining unused associations or unused associations methods. You
57
+ can set a :file option when loading the plugin:
58
+
59
+ Sequel::Model.plugin :unused_associations, file: 'unused_associations.json'
60
+
61
+ Then run the method coverage testing. This will save the unused
62
+ associations metadata to the file. Then you can use this metadata
63
+ automatically by also setting the :modify_associations option:
64
+
65
+ Sequel::Model.plugin :unused_associations, file: 'unused_associations.json',
66
+ modify_associations: true
67
+
68
+ With the :modify_associations option, unused associations are
69
+ skipped instead of being defined, and the options returned by
70
+ unused_association_options are automatically used. Note that using
71
+ the :modify_associations option is risky unless you have complete
72
+ coverage and do not have cases where the associations are used
73
+ without calling methods.
74
+
75
+ It is common to have multiple test suites where you need to combine
76
+ coverage. The plugin supports this by using a :coverage_file option:
77
+
78
+ Sequel::Model.plugin :unused_associations, coverage_file: 'unused_associations_coverage.json'
79
+
80
+ In this case, you would run update_associations_coverage after each
81
+ test suite, and update_unused_associations_data only after all test
82
+ suites have been run.
83
+
84
+ * Passing nil as the value of the :setter, :adder, :remover, or
85
+ :clearer association options will cause the related method to not be
86
+ defined, instead of using the default value. This allows you to
87
+ only define the methods you will actually be using.
