Regression from f51c1f59 when using select_related then prefetch_related
on the reverse side of an O2O:
Author.objects.select_related('bio').prefetch_related('bio__books')
Thanks Aymeric Augustin for the report and tests. Refs #17001.
The original patch for custom prefetches didn't allow usage of custom
queryset for single valued relations (along ForeignKey or OneToOneKey).
Allowing these enables calling performance oriented queryset methods like
select_related or defer/only.
Thanks @akaariai and @timgraham for the reviews. Refs #17001.
This patch introduces the Prefetch object which allows customizing prefetch
operations.
This enables things like filtering prefetched relations, calling select_related
from a prefetched relation, or prefetching the same relation multiple times
with different querysets.
When a Prefetch instance specifies a to_attr argument, the result is stored
in a list rather than a QuerySet. This has the fortunate consequence of being
significantly faster. The preformance improvement is due to the fact that we
save the costly creation of a QuerySet instance.
Thanks @akaariai for the original patch and @bmispelon and @timgraham
for the reviews.
