Patch Changes

  • Improves query planning time in some situations where entities use multiple keys. (#2610)

  • Try reusing named fragments in subgraph fetches even if those fragment only apply partially to the subgraph. Before this change, only named fragments that were applying entirely to a subgraph were tried, leading to less reuse that expected. Concretely, this change can sometimes allow the generation of smaller subgraph fetches. (#2639)

  • Fix issue in the code to reuse fragments that, in some rare circumstances, could led to invalid queries where a named (#2659)
    spread was use in an invalid position. If triggered, this resulted in an subgraph fetch whereby a named spread was
    used inside a sub-selection even though the spread condition did not intersect the parent type (the exact error message
    would depend on the client library used to handle subgraph fetches, but with GraphQL-js, the error message had the
    form "Fragment cannot be spread here as objects of type can never be of type ").

  • Fix regression in named fragment reuse introduced by 2.4.8 that caused fragments that were only used by other fragments (#2648)
    to not be reused, even if they are making the overall query smaller and thus should be reused.

  • Fix unnecessary busy work in the code extracting subgraphs from supergraphs. This code is executing when a new (#2654)
    supergraph is deployed, and can impact gateway clients when it runs. This is often not a problem, but for
    large supergraphs with lots of subgraphs, an obvious inefficiency could make the code take much longer than
    it should have.
