//! A continual task presents as something like a `TRIGGER`: it watches some
//! _input_ and whenever it changes at time `T`, executes a SQL txn, writing to
//! some _output_ at the same time `T`. It can also read anything in materialize
//! as a _reference_, most notably including the output.
//!
//! Only reacting to new inputs (and not the full history) makes a CT's
//! rehydration time independent of the size of the inputs (NB this is not true
//! for references), enabling things like writing UPSERT on top of an
//! append-only shard in SQL (ignore the obvious bug with my upsert impl):
//!
//! ```sql
//! CREATE CONTINUAL TASK upsert (key INT, val INT) ON INPUT append_only AS (
//!     DELETE FROM upsert WHERE key IN (SELECT key FROM append_only);
//!     INSERT INTO upsert SELECT key, max(val) FROM append_only GROUP BY key;
//! )
//! ```
//!
//! Unlike a materialized view, the continual task does not update outputs if
//! references later change. This enables things like auditing:
//!
//! ```sql
//! CREATE CONTINUAL TASK audit_log (count INT8) ON INPUT anomalies AS (
//!     INSERT INTO audit_log SELECT * FROM anomalies;
//! )
//! ```
//!
//! Rough implementation overview:
//! - A CT is created and starts at some `start_ts` optionally later dropped and
//!   stopped at some `end_ts`.
//! - A CT takes one or more _input_s. These must be persist shards (i.e. TABLE,
//!   SOURCE, MV, but not VIEW).
//! - A CT has one or more _output_s. The outputs are (initially) owned by the
//!   task and cannot be written to by other parts of the system.
//! - The task is run for each time one of the inputs changes starting at
//!   `start_ts`.
//! - It is given the changes in its inputs at time `T` as diffs.
//!   - These are presented as two SQL relations with just the inserts/deletes.
//!   - NB: A full collection for the input can always be recovered by also
//!     using the input as a "reference" (see below) and applying the diffs.
//! - The task logic is expressed as a SQL transaction that does all reads at
//!   commits all writes at `T`
//!   - The notable exception to this is self-referential reads of the CT
//!     output. See below for how that works.
//! - This logic can _reference_ any nameable object in the system, not just the
//!   inputs.
//!   - However, the logic/transaction can mutate only the outputs.
//! - Summary of differences between inputs and references:
//!   - The task receives snapshot + changes for references (like regular
//!     dataflow inputs today) but only changes for inputs.
//!   - The task only produces output in response to changes in the inputs but
//!     not in response to changes in the references.
//! - Instead of re-evaluating the task logic from scratch for each input time,
//!   we maintain the collection representing desired writes to the output(s) as
//!   a dataflow.
//! - The task dataflow is tied to a `CLUSTER` and runs on each `REPLICA`.
//!   - HA strategy: multi-replica clusters race to commit and the losers throw
//!     away the result.
//!
//! ## Self-References
//!
//! Self-references must be handled differently from other reads. When computing
//! the proposed write to some output at `T`, we can only know the contents of
//! it through `T-1` (the exclusive upper is `T`).
//!
//! We address this by initially assuming that the output contains no changes at
//! `T`, then evaluating each of the statements in order, allowing them to see
//! the proposed output changes made by the previous statements. By default,
//! this is stopped after one iteration and proposed output diffs are committed
//! if possible. (We could also add options for iterating to a fixpoint,
//! stop/error after N iters, etc.) Then to compute the changes at `T+1`, we
//! read in what was actually written to the output at `T` (maybe some other
//! replica wrote something different) and begin again.
//!
//! The above is very similar to how timely/differential dataflow iteration
//! works, except that our feedback loop goes through persist and the loop
//! timestamp is already `mz_repr::Timestamp`.
//!
//! This is implemented as follows:
//! - `let I = persist_source(self-reference)`
//! - Transform `I` such that the contents at `T-1` are presented at `T` (i.e.
//!   initially assume `T` is unchanged from `T-1`).
//! - TODO(ct3): Actually implement the following.
//! - In an iteration sub-scope:
//!   - Bring `I` into the sub-scope and `let proposed = Variable`.
//!   - We need a collection that at `(T, 0)` is always the contents of `I` at
//!     `T`, but at `(T, 1...)` contains the proposed diffs by the CT logic. We
//!     can construct it by concatenating `I` with `proposed` except that we
//!     also need to retract everything in `proposed` for the next `(T+1, 0)`
//!     (because `I` is the source of truth for what actually committed).
//!  - `let R = retract_at_next_outer_ts(proposed)`
//!  - `let result = logic(concat(I, proposed, R))`
//!  - `proposed.set(result)`
//! - Then we return `proposed.leave()` for attempted write to persist.
//!
//! ## As Ofs and Output Uppers
//!
//! - A continual task is first created with an initial as_of `I`. It is
//!   initially rendered at as_of `I==A` but as it makes progress, it may be
//!   rendered at later as_ofs `I<A`.
//! - It is required that the output collection springs into existence at `I`
//!   (i.e. receives the initial contents at `I`).
//!   - For a snapshot CT, the full contents of the input at `I` are run through
//!     the CT logic and written at `I`.
//!   - For a non-snapshot CT, the collection is defined to be empty at `I`
//!     (i.e. if the input happened to be written exactly at `I`, we'd ignore
//!     it) and then start writing at `I+1`.
//! - As documented in [DataflowDescription::as_of], `A` is the time we render
//!   the inputs.
//!   - An MV with an as_of of `A` will both have inputs rendered at `A` and
//!     also the first time it could write is also `A`.
//!   - A CT is the same on the initial render (`I==A`), but on renders after it
//!     has made progress (`I<A`) the first time that  it could potentially
//!     write is `A+1`. This is because a persist_source started with
//!     SnapshotMode::Exclude can only start emitting diffs at `as_of+1`.
//!   - As a result, we hold back the since on inputs to be strictly less than
//!     the upper of the output. (This is only necessary for CTs, but we also do
//!     it for MVs to avoid the special case.)
//!   - For CT "inputs" (which are disallowed from being the output), we render
//!     the persist_source with as_of `A`.
//!     - When `I==A` we include the snapshot iff the snapshot option is used.
//!     - When `I<A` we always exclude the snapshot. It would be unnecessary and
//!       this is an absolutely critical performance optimization to make CT
//!       rehydration times independent of input size.
//!   - For CT "references", we render the persist_source with as_of `A` and
//!     always include the snapshot.
//!     - There is one subtlety: self-references on the initial render. We need
//!       the contents to be available at `A-1`, so that we can do the
//!       step_forward described above to get it at `A`. However, the collection
//!       springs into existence at `I`, so we when `I==A`, we're not allowed to
//!       read it as_of `A-1` (the since of the shard may have advanced past
//!       that). We address this by rendering the persist_source as normal at
//!       `A`. On startup, persist_source immediately downgrades its frontier to
//!       `A` (making `A-1` readable). Combined with step_forward, this is
//!       enough to unblock the CT self-reference. We do however have to tweak
//!       the `suppress_early_progress` operator to use `A-1` instead of `A` for
//!       this case.
//!     - On subsequent renders, self-references work as normal.
