Use pg_hint_plan for IssuableFinder

Mario de la Ossa requested to merge 204720-pghintplan-test into master

What does this MR do?

Initial pg_hint_plan test/implementation in the IssuableFinder

Behind a feature flag initially.

This will generate SQL queries that look like:

  Issue Load (3.1ms)  SELECT /*+ BitmapScan(issues idx_issues_on_project_id_and_created_at_and_id_and_state_id) */ "issues".* FROM "issues" LEFT OUTER JOIN milestones ON issues.milestone_id = milestones.id WHERE "issues"."project_id" = $1 AND ("issues"."state_id" IN (1)) AND "issues"."issue_type" IN ($2, $3) AND ("issues"."title" ILIKE '%test%' OR "issues"."description" ILIKE '%test%') ORDER BY milestones.due_date IS NULL, milestones.id IS NULL, milestones.due_date ASC, "issues"."id" DESC LIMIT $4 OFFSET $5

Thanks to the hints being comments, if pg_hint_plan is not installed nothing happens.

SQL timings

With hint BitmapScan, specifying idx_issues_on_project_id_and_created_at_and_id_and_state_id index

Explain here: https://explain.depesz.com/s/Q8Qj
Query:

/*+ BitmapScan(issues idx_issues_on_project_id_and_created_at_and_id_and_state_id) */
SELECT "issues".* FROM "issues" LEFT OUTER JOIN milestones ON issues.milestone_id = milestones.id WHERE "issues"."project_id" = 278964 AND ("issues"."state_id" IN (1)) AND "issues"."issue_type" IN (0, 1) AND ("issues"."title" ILIKE '%elastic%' OR "issues"."description" ILIKE '%elastic%') ORDER BY milestones.due_date IS NULL, milestones.id IS NULL, milestones.due_date ASC, "issues"."id" DESC LIMIT 20 OFFSET 0
