-- Performance Optimization Indexes
-- Date: October 21, 2025
-- Purpose: Add indexes to improve background task performance at scale

-- ============================================
-- 1. Stamina Regeneration Index
-- ============================================
-- Speeds up: regenerate_all_players_stamina()
-- Query: WHERE is_dead = FALSE AND stamina < max_stamina
-- 
-- Before: Full table scan on every cycle (5 minutes)
-- After: Index scan only on relevant rows
--
-- Impact at 10K players:
-- - Without index: ~100-500ms to find eligible players
-- - With index: ~10-20ms to find eligible players

CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_players_stamina_regen 
ON players(is_dead, stamina) 
WHERE is_dead = FALSE AND stamina < max_stamina;

-- Partial index only includes living players below max stamina
-- Much smaller than full index, faster to maintain


-- ============================================
-- 2. Combat Timer Index
-- ============================================
-- Speeds up: check_combat_timers()
-- Query: WHERE turn_started_at < idle_threshold
--
-- Before: Full table scan every 30 seconds
-- After: Index scan on timestamp
--
-- Impact at 500 active combats:
-- - Without index: ~50-100ms to find idle combats
-- - With index: ~5-10ms to find idle combats

CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_combat_turn_time 
ON active_combats(turn_started_at);

-- Simple timestamp index for range queries
-- Used for finding combats idle > 5 minutes


-- ============================================
-- 3. Dropped Items Cleanup Index
-- ============================================
-- Speeds up: decay_dropped_items()
-- Query: WHERE drop_timestamp < timestamp_limit
--
-- Note: This is likely already optimal, but adding for completeness
--
-- Impact: Minimal (single DELETE query already efficient)
-- But helps with very large item tables (100K+ items)

CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_dropped_items_timestamp 
ON dropped_items(drop_timestamp);


-- ============================================
-- 4. Player Corpse Cleanup Index
-- ============================================
-- Speeds up: decay_corpses()
-- Query: WHERE death_timestamp < timestamp_limit

CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_player_corpses_timestamp 
ON player_corpses(death_timestamp);

CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_npc_corpses_timestamp 
ON npc_corpses(death_timestamp);


-- ============================================
-- 5. Combat State Index (Composite)
-- ============================================
-- Speeds up queries that check both turn and timestamp
-- Useful for more complex idle combat logic

CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_combat_turn_state 
ON active_combats(turn, turn_started_at);

-- Composite index: can answer "WHERE turn = 'player' AND turn_started_at < X"
-- More specific than single-column index


-- ============================================
-- Verification Queries
-- ============================================
-- Run these to verify indexes are being used:

-- 1. Check stamina regen query plan:
-- EXPLAIN ANALYZE
-- SELECT telegram_id, stamina, max_stamina, endurance
-- FROM players
-- WHERE is_dead = FALSE AND stamina < max_stamina;
-- 
-- Should show: "Index Scan using idx_players_stamina_regen"

-- 2. Check combat timer query plan:
-- EXPLAIN ANALYZE
-- SELECT * FROM active_combats
-- WHERE turn_started_at < (EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM NOW()) - 300);
--
-- Should show: "Index Scan using idx_combat_turn_time"

-- 3. Check index sizes:
-- SELECT
--     schemaname,
--     tablename,
--     indexname,
--     pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size(indexrelid)) AS index_size
-- FROM pg_stat_user_indexes
-- WHERE schemaname = 'public'
-- ORDER BY pg_relation_size(indexrelid) DESC;


-- ============================================
-- Performance Impact Summary
-- ============================================
--
-- Expected improvements at 10,000 players:
--
-- regenerate_stamina():
-- - Before: 50+ seconds (10K individual UPDATEs)
-- - After optimization: 0.5s (single UPDATE)
-- - Index adds: ~100ms improvement in WHERE clause
-- - Total: 500-600ms per cycle
--
-- check_combat_timers() (500 active combats):
-- - Before: 50-100ms to find idle combats
-- - After: 5-10ms to find idle combats
-- - 10x faster SELECT
--
-- decay_dropped_items():
-- - Before: Already fast (~100ms)
-- - After: Minimal change (~80ms)
-- - Already optimal design
--
-- TOTAL BACKGROUND TASK TIME:
-- - Before all optimizations: 60+ seconds every 5 minutes
-- - After all optimizations: <1 second every 5 minutes
-- - 60x improvement!
--
-- ============================================
-- Maintenance Notes
-- ============================================
--
-- These indexes will be automatically maintained by PostgreSQL.
-- 
-- Index bloat monitoring:
-- SELECT
--     schemaname,
--     tablename,
--     indexname,
--     pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size(indexrelid)) AS size,
--     idx_scan AS scans,
--     idx_tup_read AS tuples_read,
--     idx_tup_fetch AS tuples_fetched
-- FROM pg_stat_user_indexes
-- WHERE schemaname = 'public'
-- ORDER BY pg_relation_size(indexrelid) DESC;
--
-- If index is large but rarely used (low idx_scan), consider dropping it.
-- All indexes above should have high scan counts in production.
