Description

Adds a bounded PostgreSQL translation cache and connects it to the raw-Cypher query path.

Repeated raw Cypher queries previously paid parsing, optimization, lowering, and rendering
costs on every invocation. Reusing safe compiled translations removes that work while
retaining correct caller-supplied parameter binding.

  • Adds bounded cache storage, eviction, statistics, and benchmarks.
  • Caches only translations whose runtime parameters can be safely rebound.
  • Routes transaction.Query through the shared compiler/cache path.
  • Preserves uncached translation for unsupported or unsafe shapes.

Resolves: BED-9469

Type of Change

  • Chore (a change that does not modify the application functionality)
  • Bug fix (a change that fixes an issue)
  • New feature / enhancement (a change that adds new functionality)
  • Refactor (no behaviour change)
  • Test coverage
  • Build / CI / tooling
  • Documentation

Testing

  • Unit tests added / updated
  • Integration tests added / updated
  • Full test suite run (make test_all with CONNECTION_STRING set)

Screenshots (if appropriate):

Driver Impact

  • PostgreSQL driver (drivers/pg)
  • Neo4j driver (drivers/neo4j)

Checklist

  • Code is formatted
  • All existing tests pass
  • go.mod / go.sum are up to date if dependencies changed

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added PostgreSQL query translation caching to improve performance for repeated queries.
    • Added configurable cache capacity, including the option to disable caching.
    • Added cache statistics for monitoring cache activity and compilation outcomes.
    • Added automatic cache invalidation after schema updates.
    • Added safe parameter rebinding for cached translations.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented stale or invalid translations from being reused during concurrent requests.
    • Improved handling of compilation errors, cancellations, and unexpected failures.
    • Ensured cache shutdown releases pending requests cleanly.

Walkthrough

The PostgreSQL driver now compiles Cypher through a bounded translation cache. Driver options configure the cache. Schema changes invalidate it, shutdown closes it, and transactions execute cached SQL with request-specific bindings.

Changes

PostgreSQL translation cache

Layer / File(s) Summary
Translation cache mechanics
drivers/pg/translation_cache.go
Adds keyed caching, parameter rebinding, concurrent build coalescing, invalidation, shutdown, statistics, and failure handling.
Query compilation integration
drivers/pg/compiler.go, drivers/pg/transaction.go
Routes Cypher compilation through SchemaManager.compileText and executes the compiled SQL through Raw.
Driver and schema lifecycle wiring
drivers/pg/driver.go, drivers/pg/manager.go
Adds cache capacity options, cache construction, statistics access, shutdown handling, and schema-triggered invalidation.
Cache behavior validation and benchmarks
drivers/pg/translation_cache_test.go, drivers/pg/translation_cache_benchmark_test.go, bdd/utils_test.go
Tests keying, binding, concurrency, lifecycle behavior, invalidation races, eviction, and cached versus uncached performance paths. The test import alias is made explicit.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 0f159

The PR adds bounded raw-query translation caching while preserving parameter binding and uncached handling for unsupported cases; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

A rabbit caches queries with care
Fresh bindings hop through the air
Schema changes clear the way
Warm hits speed the working day
Safe shutdown ends the play

This is where the fast path would be rejected without the disparate translator parameter handling. #129 (comment)

Some declarations may have gotten lost somewhere. Approving to unblock for when that is rectified and CI is green

265-274: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Collapse the duplicated success returns.

Lines 269 and 274 return the same values. The only difference is the bypasses counter. The current shape suggests a behavioral difference that does not exist.
