class ColumnConditionBuilder
# This class builds the WHERE conditions for the keyset pagination library.
# It produces WHERE conditions for one column at a time.
#
# Requisite 1: Only the last column (columns.last) is non-nullable and distinct.
# Requisite 2: Only one column is distinct and non-nullable.
#
# Scenario: We want to order by columns named X, Y and Z and build the conditions
# used in the WHERE clause of a pagination query using a set of cursor values.
# X is the column definition for a nullable column
# Y is the column definition for a non-nullable but not distinct column
# Z is the column definition for a distinct, non-nullable column used as a tie breaker.
#
# Then the method is initially invoked with these arguments:
# columns = [ColumnDefinition for X, ColumnDefinition for Y, ColumnDefinition for Z]
# values = { X: x, Y: y, Z: z } => these represent cursor values for pagination
# (x could be nil since X is nullable)
# current_conditions is initialized to [] to store the result during the iteration calls
# invoked within the Order#build_where_values method.
#
# The elements of current_conditions are instances of Arel::Nodes and -
# will be concatenated using OR or UNION to be used in the WHERE clause.
#
# Example: Let's say we want to build WHERE clause conditions for
# ORDER BY X DESC NULLS LAST, Y ASC, Z DESC
#
# Iteration 1:
# columns = [X, Y, Z]
# At the end, current_conditions should be:
# [(Z < z)]
#
# Iteration 2:
# columns = [X, Y]
# At the end, current_conditions should be:
# [(Y > y) OR (Y = y AND Z < z)]
#
# Iteration 3:
# columns = [X]
# At the end, current_conditions should be:
# [((X IS NOT NULL AND Y > y) OR (X IS NOT NULL AND Y = y AND Z < z))
# OR
# ((x IS NULL) OR (X IS NULL))]
#
# Parameters:
#
# - columns: instance of ColumnOrderDefinition
# - value: cursor value for the column

@value = value

# Here we are dealing with the case of column_definition.nulls_last?
# Suppose ORDER BY X DESC NULLS FIRST, Y ASC, Z DESC is the ordering clause
# and we already have built the conditions for columns Y and Z.
#
# We first need a set of conditions to use when x (the value for X) is NULL:
# null_conds = [
# (x IS NULL AND X IS NULL AND Y<y),
# (x IS NULL AND X IS NULL AND Y=y AND Z<z),

# (x IS NOT NULL AND X IS NULL),
# (x IS NOT NULL AND X < x)
# (x IS NOT NULL AND X = x AND Y > y),
# (x IS NOT NULL AND X = x AND Y = y AND Z < z),

# WHEN THE COLUMN IS NON-NULLABLE AND DISTINCT
# Per Assumption 1, only the last column can be non-nullable and distinct
# (column Z is non-nullable/distinct and comes last in the example).
# So the Order#build_where_conditions is being called for the first time with current_conditions = [].
#
# At the end of the call, we should expect:
# current_conditions should be [(Z < z)]
#
# WHEN THE COLUMN IS NON-NULLABLE BUT NOT DISTINCT
# Let's say Z has been processed and we are about to process the column Y next.
# (per requisite 1, if a non-nullable but not distinct column is being processed,
# at the least, the conditional for the non-nullable/distinct column exists)
#
# At the start of the method call:
# current_conditions = [(Z < z)]
# comparison_node = (Y < y)
# eqaulity_node = (Y = y)
#
# We should add a comparison node for the next column Y, (Y < y)
# then break a tie using the previous conditionals, (Y = y AND Z < z)
#
# At the end of the call, we should expect:
# current_conditions = [(Y < y), (Y = y AND Z < z)]

# In this branch of the iteration,

# (x IS NULL AND X IS NULL AND Y > y),
