What
I use a trick to avoid using primary key to solve a slow query problem. Is there any other better way?
Why
For queries like this, postgresql sometimes decides to scan the primary key instead of using the index on "visibleUserIds" field
However, postgresql doesn't know that sometimes users' data distribution is very uneven, which is the reason for the timeout problems some people have.
Additional info (optional)
Expected to be fast, actually very slow :
Satisfactory speed :
