QUARKUS-2485 SmallRye GraphQL non-blocking support

JIRA link: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/QUARKUS-2485

Quarkus documentation: https://quarkus.io/version/main/guides/smallrye-graphql

Related topic: QUARKUS-1398 GraphQL product support.

Existing GraphQL functionality provided by the smallrye-graphql (and smallrye-graphql-client) extension was limited in terms of execution model: the extension used blocking execution only.

With this new addition, support for non-blocking execution has been introduced. The appropriate execution model selection is based on return types of GraphQL endpoint and can be altered by @Blocking/@NonBlocking annotations. This approach corresponds with the behavior of RESTEasy Classic / RESTEasy Reactive (see also quarkusio/quarkus#25194).

Scope of testing

Existing tests

An extensive test coverage already exists in several places:

Key functionality which is addressed in the existing tests:

  • POST Query
  • POST Query reactive
  • GET Query (GraphQL over HTTP)
  • @Source + Batching
  • Interfaces
  • Unions
  • Mutation
  • Subscription (WebSocket integration)
  • @DefaultValue
  • Context injection
  • @AdaptWith
  • Dev UI
  • OpenTracing and MicroProfile Metrics
  • OpenTelemetry and Micrometer

Test coverage is missing for:

  • GET Query (GraphQL over HTTP) reactive
  • Mutation reactive
  • @DefaultValue reactive
  • Context injection reactive
  • @AdaptToScalar
  • Maps support
  • @ErrorCode

Automated test development

The missing features can be covered by adding test in the existing http/graphql module in the Quarkus QE test suite:

  • 1 new scenario for GET queries (requires distinct application configuration).
  • Other features may be added to existing scenarios.

Impact on test suites and test environment

  • Extending existing scenarios: minimal impact.
  • 1 new scenario: impact on execution time.
