The idea here is to collect all the stuff that is commonly selected together into one table, rather than having it scattered around the filesystem.

I benchmarked the new _fetch_event_rows query based on 100 queries I pulled out of my slow query log. On my I/O constrained server, it reduced the average time taken to fetch a batch of events from 9.7 seconds to 5.4 seconds.

Unfortunately I don't have good metrics for how much storage increased by, but I don't think it was that bad (like 2%).

Obviously, we will need a background update to populate the new columns. I'm mostly floating this to gather comments at this stage.

Based on #9411.

I think this is a good idea, when i was poking at the database to find out where all events are stored, i was a little confused why there was event_json and events.

+1 to the idea of "background updates", though maybe communicate that better in changelogs, keep it around for a while, and then move the logic to a database "delta" script (so for larger version jumps, it happens on startup). Probably not the best experience to those servers who havent migrated from a version that did that background migration, but i think then it'll be pretty smooth.

I think I'm probably not going to take this forward in its current form.
