             Summary: Smarter handling of id fields in SQL values
                 Key: IGNITE-6996
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-6996
             Project: Ignite
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: sql
            Reporter: Alexander Paschenko


Consider such case:

User wants to have a composite value (many value fields in {{QueryEntity}}) with one field associated with value's id (most likely matching cache key too).

Currently in order to insert such an object we will have to do something like
{{INSERT INTO Person(_key, id, name) values(1, 1, 'John')}}

And there's no way to avoid such a redundant repeat of the same value.

Suggested approach: I believe that we should specifically handle the case when user specifies {{keyFieldName}} in configuration and specified field is field of the value.

In such case, we could just do {{INSERT INTO Person(id, name) values(1, 'John')}} and derive {{_key}} value from {{id}} column. (And vice versa.)

At a glance, this also will require following tweaks:
- forbid performing SQL {{UPDATE}} on such column ({{id}} in above example);
- on an {{INSERT}}, check that {{_key}} and {{id}} values are the same, if both specified.
