Hi guys, We don''t have functionality like (for example) lazy-loading of BLOB and TEXT columns in core, nor excluding things like search vector pseudo-columns. These have a pretty big impact on performance, especially when you look into the mysql internals. Rather than add this functionality to core, I''d like to make a very small refactor to construct_finder_sql that moves the "*"/"my_table.*" default select strings out to a separate method, default_select, which can then be cleanly overriden in plugins without needing to copy in the entire construct_finder_sql method to the plugin. Because it''s just a small extraction, it''s a pretty safe change. It changes only the defaults, all explicit select arguments & scopes still override it. Unless anyone can suggest a superior approach, could this please be considered for inclusion in 2.2?
