fix: remove JSON cast when querying archived workflows #13777
Conversation
With PostgreSQL, the `argo_archived_workflows.workflow` column has been of type `json` ever since 8a1e611, which was released as v2.5.0. Therefore, the `::json` casts do nothing, and prevent users from improving performance by migrating to JSONB using the following query: ```sql alter table argo_archived_workflows alter column workflow set data type jsonb using workflow::jsonb ``` Without the changes in this PR, running the above will massively slow down the queries, because casting JSONB to JSON is expensive. With the changes in this PR, it improves performance by ~80%, which I determined by running the benchmarks added in argoproj#13767 against a DB with 100,000 randomly generated workflows generated by argoproj#13715: ``` $ benchstat postgres_before_10000_workflows.txt postgres_after_10000_workflows.txt goos: linux goarch: amd64 pkg: github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/v3/test/e2e cpu: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12400 │ postgres_before_10000_workflows.txt │ postgres_after_10000_workflows.txt │ │ sec/op │ sec/op vs base │ WorkflowArchive/ListWorkflows-12 185.81m ± ∞ ¹ 25.06m ± ∞ ¹ ~ (p=1.000 n=1) ² WorkflowArchive/ListWorkflows_with_label_selector-12 186.35m ± ∞ ¹ 25.99m ± ∞ ¹ ~ (p=1.000 n=1) ² WorkflowArchive/CountWorkflows-12 42.39m ± ∞ ¹ 11.78m ± ∞ ¹ ~ (p=1.000 n=1) ² geomean 113.6m 19.72m -82.64% ¹ need >= 6 samples for confidence interval at level 0.95 ² need >= 4 samples to detect a difference at alpha level 0.05 ``` The only downside to migrating to JSONB is it can take a long time if you've got a ton of workflows (~72s on my local DB with 100,000 workflows). I'll enter a separate PR for the migration, but I'm entering this change separately so it can hopefully go out in 3.6.0. Signed-off-by: Mason Malone <651224+MasonM@users.noreply.github.com>

@jiachengxu Would you mind reviewing this?
Here's the PR for the migration, which builds on top of this PR: #13779 |

LGTM
@terrytangyuan Jiacheng is also apparently not in the "members" team a la #8790 (comment), so that seems to be why we can't directly "request a review" via GH |

Thanks Terry 👍 |
Motivation
With PostgreSQL, the
argo_archived_workflows.workflow
column has been of typejson
ever since 8a1e611, which was released as v2.5.0. Therefore, the::json
casts do nothing, and prevent users from improving performance by migrating to JSONB using the following query:Without the changes in this PR, running the above will massively slow down the queries, because casting JSONB to JSON is expensive. With the changes, I'm measuring a ~80% performance boost (see below). Other users have reported similar improvements.
The only downside to migrating to JSONB is it can take a long time if you've got a ton of workflows (~72s on my local DB with 100,000 workflows). I entered #13779 with the migration, but I'm entering this separately so it can hopefully go out in 3.6.0. That way, we can tell users to run the above query if they run into performance issues, without having to do a patch release with the migration.
