Description

This PR addresses a scalability bottleneck in the GORM datamapping layer. Previously, the system instantiated a full set of mapping objects for every tenant, resulting in O(M x N) memory complexity. By refactoring the architecture to use a stateless, shared-registry approach, we have reduced this to O(M + N), significantly lowering the memory overhead in multi-tenant environments.

…reaking changes

- HibernateGormEnhancer: add resolveOwningDatastore() using Hibernate-native
  SessionFactoryImplementor.getMappingMetamodel().findEntityDescriptor() to
  correctly route secondary-only entities away from the ROOT datastore for
  both static and instance APIs (fixes TransactionRequiredException and
  UnknownEntityTypeException on secondary datasource entities)

- HibernateGormInstanceApi: add sessionContains() helper wrapping
  session.contains() in try-catch for IllegalArgumentException — H7 now
  throws instead of returning false for unknown entity types

- GrailsHibernateUtil: wrap session.contains() in canModifyReadWriteState()
  with try-catch for same H7 breaking change

- HibernatePersistenceContextInterceptorSpec: fix 'test flush and clear'
  by opening session directly via sf.openSession() + TSM.bindResource()

- Fix positional params: int i = 0 → int i = 1 (H7 uses 1-indexed ?1)

  (calls HibernateQuery.getAllCriteria() → detachedCriteria) instead of
  query.criteria (base Query.Junction which is never populated by HibernateQuery)

…icUpdate=true

- HibernateGormStaticApi: override createCriteria() to return HibernateCriteriaBuilder
  so list() wraps results in HibernatePagedResultList (fixes HibernatePagedResultListSpec
  and PagedResultListSpec).

- AutoTimestampEventListener: make getLastUpdatedPropertyNames() public so it can be
  called from the new FlushEntityEventListener.

- GormAutoTimestampFlushEntityEventListener (new): prepended FlushEntityEventListener
  that sets lastUpdated on the entity before DefaultFlushEntityEventListener computes
  dirty properties. Also calls DirtyCheckable.markDirty() so GrailsEntityDirtinessStrategy
  includes lastUpdated in the dirty set — required for dynamicUpdate=true SQL to include
  the last_updated column (fixes LastUpdateWithDynamicUpdateSpec TestA and TestB).

- HibernateDatastore: register GormAutoTimestampFlushEntityEventListener as a prepended
  FLUSH_ENTITY event listener in the main constructor.

Fixes: HibernatePagedResultListSpec, PagedResultListSpec, LastUpdateWithDynamicUpdateSpec

…composite IDs in performUpsert

- performMerge now returns merged (the session-managed instance) instead
  of target (the original detached Java object). This prevents
  NonUniqueObjectException when the same entity is later used as a
  cascade target or query parameter in the same session — Hibernate 7
  throws if two different Java objects share the same identifier in a
  persistence context.

- performUpsert now null-checks getGormPersistentEntity().identity
  before dereferencing it. Composite-ID entities return null from
  getIdentity(); those are routed directly to performMerge() so
  Hibernate handles the INSERT-or-UPDATE decision transparently.

Fixes:
  - MultipleOneToOneSpec (assigned-id entity reused as cascade target)
  - CompositeIdWithJoinTableSpec
  - CompositeIdWithDeepOneToManyMappingSpec
  - GlobalConstraintWithCompositeIdSpec

…inding

The previous implementation called sessionFactory.getCurrentSession() inside
a DatastoreUtils.executeWithNewSession callback to bind the Hibernate session
under the sessionFactory key. This failed with 'No Session found for current
thread' because DatastoreUtils.executeWithNewSession only creates a lazy
HibernateSession wrapper — no real Hibernate session is opened or bound before
the callback fires.

Fix: open a native Hibernate session via openSession(), bind it to
TransactionSynchronizationManager under the sessionFactory key, then wrap it
in a HibernateSession facade for the caller's closure. This matches the same
contract that HibernateGormStaticApi.withNewSession expects (a HibernateSession
so it can call getNativeSession()) and that GrailsSessionContext.currentSession()
requires (a session bound under sessionFactory key).

…uide

- Mark H7-1 (withNewSession binding), H7-2 (contains() throws), H7-3
  (performMerge returns wrong object), H7-4 (composite ID NPE), and
  H7-5 (HibernateGormStaticApiSpec 68/68) as RESOLVED with commit refs
- Update test registry: CompositeId specs, PagedResultList, LastUpdated,
  MultipleOneToOne, MultiTenancyUnidirectional, HibernateGormStaticApi
  all promoted from FAIL → PASS
- Add MongoDB Migration Guide section covering expected failure patterns,
  key differences from H7 migration, and recommended workflow

…idation

When a @query annotation contains named parameters (e.g. :pattern) that
match method parameter names, AbstractStringQueryImplementer now generates
a named-parameter map automatically — avoiding Hibernate 7's strict
QueryParameterBindingsImpl.validate() throwing for unbound parameters.

Three related fixes:
1. AbstractStringQueryImplementer.buildNamedParamsFromQuery() — extracts
   :paramName tokens from the HQL string and builds a MapExpression
   binding each to its corresponding method parameter variable.

2. FindOneStringQueryImplementer.buildQueryReturnStatement() — when
   queryArg is already an ArgumentListExpression (query + named params),
   correctly spreads its elements before appending the max:1 pagination
   map, producing executeQuery(query, params, [max:1]) instead of the
   invalid executeQuery([query, params], [max:1]).

3. FindOneInterfaceProjectionStringQueryImplementer.getOrder() — overrides
   to super.getOrder() - 1 so interface-projection @query methods are
   claimed before FindOneStringQueryImplementer, which would otherwise
   take them first (same default order) and skip the projection wrapping.

Fixes: DataServiceSpec 17/17 (was 14/17)

Three related H7 behavior fixes:

1. SKIP_DEEP_VALIDATION thread-local in ClosureEventListener
   - When save(deepValidate:false) is called, Hibernate 7 fires PreInsert events
     for ALL cascade-reachable entities. Each of those fires doValidate(), which
     in H7 returns a veto that throws EntityActionVetoException instead of
     silently cancelling as H5 did.
   - Fix: set SKIP_DEEP_VALIDATION thread-local before session.persist() when
     deepValidate=false; check it in doValidate() to skip cascade validation.

2. insert() validation in HibernateGormInstanceApi
   - GormInstanceApi.insert() skipped GORM validation and called session.persist()
     directly. In H7, if an entity with the same composite ID is already in the
     session (NonUniqueObjectException), the error is thrown before onPreInsert
     fires, so the unique constraint validator never ran.
   - Fix: override insert() to run GORM validation first, returning null with
     errors on failure (mirroring save() behavior).

Fixes: DeepValidationSpec, UniqueWithinGroupSpec, SkipValidationSpec,
       EmbeddedWithValidationExceptionSpec

- Fix missing instanceApiHelper property via explicit getter.
- Implement methodMissing to properly dispatch proxy methods (isInitialized, etc) for both GroovyProxyFactory and Hibernate ByteBuddy proxies.

- Honor GroovyProxyFactory in HibernateSession.proxy() and override proxy(id) in Static API.
- Add test infra accessors (getTransactionManager, prepareHqlQuery) and new Static API constructor.
- Updates ISSUES.md to mark HibernateGormInstanceApiSpec and Hibernate7GroovyProxySpec as PASS.

GORM Scaling Program — Change Log and Optimization Backlog

This document now tracks what has already changed for the O(M+N) scaling work and what can still be optimized. It is no longer a failure tracker.


1) Core changes implemented

Shared-registry architecture (O(M+N))

  • Introduced GormRegistry and moved registry responsibilities out of per-tenant duplication paths.
  • Refactored GormEnhancer, GormStaticApi, and GormInstanceApi to resolve APIs through shared registry data.
  • Updated tenant-aware resolution flow (Tenants, enhancer lookup paths, qualifier handling) to match shared registry behavior.

Datastore integrations aligned to shared model

  • Hibernate 7: updated static/instance/enhancer APIs and related datastore/session/query wiring to use the new registry approach.
  • Hibernate 5: parallel alignment with H7 so API behavior stays consistent across both engines.
  • MongoDB: updated static API and codec/persister integration points to align with shared registry and tenant resolution changes.
  • SimpleMap datastore: large query/persister/session updates to keep core behavior consistent with new registry flow.

Query and session behavior hardening

  • Refined key query/session paths in Hibernate and SimpleMap implementations where registry and tenant context are used.
  • Added or adjusted session-resolver/runtime utilities where needed to keep API behavior stable under multi-tenancy.

Transform and compile-time behavior updates

  • Updated service and transactional transform logic to match registry/data access changes.
  • Reorganized transform test assets (including moved/expanded transform specs/classes).

Test coverage expanded for scale + regressions

  • Added GormRegistryScalabilitySpec coverage across core modules (core, H5, H7, Mongo).
  • Added and updated regression coverage around enhancer, static API, transaction manager, and transform behavior.

Local selected-module workflow improvements

  • Selected-module runs now enforce CodeNarc/Checkstyle aggregation without forcing PMD/SpotBugs in that path.
  • testSelected flow remains focused on selected modules with aggregated test/style outputs.

2) Potential optimization opportunities

A. Registry/API hot-path efficiency

Goal: reduce repeated lookup overhead under high tenant/entity counts.

  1. Cache normalized entity keys and qualifier maps in one place to reduce repeated normalization work.
  2. Audit repeated findDatastore/qualifier fallback chains and collapse duplicate branches.
  3. Benchmark computeIfAbsent and lock contention patterns in registry-heavy paths.

B. Tenant context and session routing

Goal: lower context-switch overhead and reduce accidental cross-context work.

  1. Profile tenant context wrapping frequency in static API calls.
  2. Identify places where tenant/session context can be propagated once instead of re-resolved.
  3. Add targeted perf specs for DISCRIMINATOR and SCHEMA mode query loops.

C. Query builder/runtime allocation pressure

Goal: reduce temporary object churn in frequently executed query paths.

  1. Review HQL/criteria builder allocation patterns in H5/H7 and SimpleMap query implementations.
  2. Reuse immutable query metadata where safe.
  3. Add microbenchmarks for common list/find/count paths with multi-tenant datasets.

D. Transform pipeline cost

Goal: reduce compile-time overhead from service/transaction transforms.

  1. Measure transform execution hotspots after recent refactors.
  2. Consolidate duplicated transform helper logic.
  3. Add performance-oriented transform tests focused on large service sets.

E. Test/runtime throughput

Goal: keep regression coverage while reducing local/CI cycle time.

  1. Keep scalability specs, but tune dataset sizes for stable signal-to-cost ratio.
  2. Split long-running integration groups where practical.
  3. Continue selected-module execution strategy for local iteration, full-suite in CI.

3) Suggested tracking format for future updates

When adding new work items to this file:

  • Record the change under section 1 with module + behavior impact.
  • Record follow-up work under section 2 with a short goal and concrete next actions.
  • Avoid adding pass/fail snapshots here; keep this file architectural and optimization-focused.
