Enhance country data route (pagination & smart caching) #45
Conversation
…performance - Introduce _CacheEntry class to hold cached data with expiration time - Replace simple in-memory caching with time-based caching mechanism - Add cache duration constant for aggregated country lists - Update cache handling logic in _cachedEventCountries and _cachedHeadquarterCountries
- Introduce _CacheEntry class to enhance caching with expiration - Modify _getEventCountries and _getHeadquarterCountries to use new caching system - Update cache validation logic to check both existence and expiration
- Create a new private method _getDistinctCountriesFromAggregation for reuse - Modify fetchEventCountries and fetchHeadquarterCountries to use the new method - Improve code readability and maintainability by reducing duplication
- Add support for standard pagination/sorting for country model - Implement conditional logic to handle 'usage' filter for country model - Maintain backwards compatibility for existing specialized queries - Improve code readability and structure in data operation registry

Summary of Changes
Hello @fulleni, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request significantly enhances the country data retrieval mechanism by introducing intelligent routing for country data requests and implementing a robust time-based caching strategy. It refactors existing aggregation logic for better reusability and ensures that specialized country queries are handled efficiently while maintaining support for general pagination and sorting.
Highlights
- Conditional Country Data Handling: The DataOperationRegistry now dynamically routes country data requests. If a specific 'usage' filter is present, it leverages the CountryService for specialized, non-paginated results. Otherwise, it defaults to the generic DataRepository to support standard pagination and sorting.
- Time-Based Caching: A new _CacheEntry class has been introduced in CountryService to enable time-based invalidation for cached country lists. This ensures that frequently accessed aggregated country data (like event or headquarter countries) is served from cache for a defined duration (e.g., 1 hour), improving performance.
- Aggregated Query Refactoring: The common logic for fetching distinct countries via MongoDB aggregation has been extracted into a reusable private helper method, _getDistinctCountriesFromAggregation. This centralizes the aggregation pipeline definition, making the code cleaner and more maintainable for _getEventCountries and _getHeadquarterCountries.

Code Review
This pull request introduces a great improvement by adding time-based caching to the CountryService and refactoring the data fetching logic to be more modular and reusable. The changes in DataOperationRegistry correctly handle the new conditional logic for country data retrieval.
My review includes a few suggestions for improvement:
- Concurrency: There is a potential race condition in the caching logic for both
_getEventCountriesand_getHeadquarterCountriesthat could lead to unnecessary database load under high concurrency. I've recommended a pattern to address this. - Type Safety: For better type safety and maintainability, I've suggested using generics in the
_getDistinctCountriesFromAggregationhelper method.

Description
The CountryService now includes a robust time-based caching mechanism and refactored aggregation logic, and the DataOperationRegistry correctly handles country data retrieval with conditional logic for specialized filters versus general pagination and sorting.
