Add index on historical_data (recorded_at) to improve queries
What does this MR do?
This MR adds an index on historical_data (recorded_at)
to improve some queries.
We have the following places where we query on historical_data.recorded_at
:
- https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/ebf78c1afb1e9f067ac5c45916efbb02c2329dea/ee/app/models/gitlab/seat_link_data.rb#L68
- https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/ebf78c1afb1e9f067ac5c45916efbb02c2329dea/ee/app/models/license.rb#L537
- https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/ebf78c1afb1e9f067ac5c45916efbb02c2329dea/ee/app/models/license.rb#L544
These all benefit from having an index on historical_data(recorded_at)
.

We can see Seq Scan
is changed to Index Scan
after adding the index.
While working on this I've noticed we have HistoricalData.up_until
scope (using this column) that is not used, so removed it as part of this MR.
