Add
CONTAINSoperator support for substring matching in workflow visibility queries.Files modified:
common/persistence/visibility/store/sql/query_converter.go+ testscommon/persistence/visibility/store/elasticsearch/converter.gocommon/persistence/visibility/store/query/converter.gogo.mod(replace directive for local sqlparser)Query transformation:
Related PRs: sqlparser ([link]) and UI ([link]) - all three must merge together.
Why?
Enable substring search for WorkflowId/WorkflowType. Currently only prefix matching (
STARTS_WITH) is available.Example use case: Find workflows containing "user-service" anywhere in the name:
ai-agent-user-service-1✓api-user-service-sync✓backend-payment-service✗How did you test it?
Manual testing: Created test workflows, verified CONTAINS query returns correct results via CLI and UI.
Potential risks
Performance:
LIKE '%value%'cannot use indexes (leading wildcard). May be slower on large datasets. Mitigate by combining with other filters (timerange, status).Dependencies: Requires sqlparser PR merged first. Remove
replacedirective in go.mod before merging.Related PRs: sqlparser ([link]) and UI ([link]) - all three must merge together.
