Since workflow right now has no update yet, I wonder if we can use query as an update in some scenarios. For example, we have a blocking queue in workflow definition and the workflow execution is waiting on the getting message from the queue. And the query we want to validate and enqueue a message and return if the message is valid to the caller. (Signal cannot return data)
Does this case violates the rule of " * It can not modify Workflow state in any way." And I am actually not very sure what does this rule mean.
So I guess the handlings of query and signal are totally different to make the case. Does anyone share a summary on the mechanics that result in this OR where is the code to read (I guess it is in the go-SDK handling of query/signal).
I have a follow-up question here. I guess the query event doesn’t get replayed in the workflow execution so it cannot change the internal states. Am I correct?
Another reason I am asking this question is we are doing a major re-construction of a first workflow definition and we want to remove old queries (clients will not call the queries except the history queries).
