Goal

The Assembler used in an Endeca stand-alone instance or an ATG-integrated instance can request too many supplemental objects to be returned by the MDEX, which can cause large query response sizes and performance issues in the front-end web application.  

Endeca Assembler (part of Oracle Commerce Platform or ATG) makes the following types of queries to MDEX(dgraph) when a shopper is browsing a web page:

1. "Content" query:
This type of query is used to determine what content-items should be shown to the shopper based on their current navigation state.
This is always the first query, and should be made just *once* per page.

2. "Records" query:
These types of queries are used to determine what records should be displayed to the shopper.
Here the term records includes record shown in both record spotlights and result list.
This query usually follows the "content" query.
Assembler tries to optimize the number of records queries, but there can be more than one of these for each page.
