This module provides a class method called `each_batch` that can be used
to iterate tables in batches in a more efficient way compared to Rails'
`in_batches` method. This commit also includes a RuboCop cop to
blacklist the use of `in_batches` in favour of this new method.
This is allowed for existing instances so we don't end up 76 offenses
right away, but for new code one should _only_ use this if they _have_
to remove non database data. Even then it's usually better to do this in
a service class as this gives you more control over how to remove the
data (e.g. in bulk).
This adds a Rubocop rule to enforce the use of
add_concurrent_foreign_key instead of the regular add_foreign_key
method. This cop has been disabled for existing migrations so we don't
need to change those.
There are currently two cops for this:
* Migration/AddIndex: checks if indexes are added concurrently
* Migration/ColumnWithDefault: checks if columns with default values are
added in a concurrent manner
Both cops are fairly simple and make no attempt at correcting the code
as this is quite hard to do (e.g. modifications may need to be applied
in various places in the same file). They however should provide enough
to catch people ignoring the comments in generated migrations telling
them to use add_concurrent_index or add_column_with_default.
