# Which Problems Are Solved
To improve performance a new table and method is implemented on
eventstore. The goal of this table is to index searchable fields on
command side to use it on command and query side.
The table allows to store one primitive value (numeric, text) per row.
The eventstore framework is extended by the `Search`-method which allows
to search for objects.
The `Command`-interface is extended by the `SearchOperations()`-method
which does manipulate the the `search`-table.
# How the Problems Are Solved
This PR adds the capability of improving performance for command and
query side by using the `Search`-method of the eventstore instead of
using one of the `Filter`-methods.
# Open Tasks
- [x] Add feature flag
- [x] Unit tests
- [ ] ~~Benchmarks if needed~~
- [x] Ensure no behavior change
- [x] Add setup step to fill table with current data
- [x] Add projection which ensures data added between setup and start of
the new version are also added to the table
# Additional Changes
The `Search`-method is currently used by `ProjectGrant`-command side.
# Additional Context
- Closes https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/8094
Even though this is a feature it's released as fix so that we can back port to earlier revisions.
As reported by multiple users startup of ZITADEL after leaded to downtime and worst case rollbacks to the previously deployed version.
The problem starts rising when there are too many events to process after the start of ZITADEL. The root cause are changes on projections (database tables) which must be recomputed. This PR solves this problem by adding a new step to the setup phase which prefills the projections. The step can be enabled by adding the `--init-projections`-flag to `setup`, `start-from-init` and `start-from-setup`. Setting this flag results in potentially longer duration of the setup phase but reduces the risk of the problems mentioned in the paragraph above.
This implementation increases parallel write capabilities of the eventstore.
Please have a look at the technical advisories: [05](https://zitadel.com/docs/support/advisory/a10005) and [06](https://zitadel.com/docs/support/advisory/a10006).
The implementation of eventstore.push is rewritten and stored events are migrated to a new table `eventstore.events2`.
If you are using cockroach: make sure that the database user of ZITADEL has `VIEWACTIVITY` grant. This is used to query events.
