_profile should return conformant data to the profile

[ashwini-patil20]

Problem I need to solve

When we query with _profile tag it should return only data conformant with profile tag and when we query without _profile it should return all data (conformant+non-conformant)

Solution I see

1. We want all the data to be loaded in to the database whether it be conformant or non-conformant (possible with /fhir/$import)
2. We will do batch validation with few IGs (possible with batch-validation) and need Aidbox to tag it with the IGs it is conformant with (not possible)
3. So when we query with _profile tag it should return only data tagged by Aidbox with profile tag and when we query without _profile it should return all data (conformant+non-conformant)

Hello, it doesn't seem to be Aidbox native feature. The _profile search parameter approach looks like performance killer.

1. Postgres won't be able to use indexes and will do full table scan.
2. Aidbox will have to re-validate each fetched row (billions of rows in large tables).
3. It will be resource intensive for Aidbox to page data.

Current _profile search parameter behaves according to FHIR specification.

Please, consider building a middleware which adds needed behavior. It can be delivered as a part of Aidbox professional services. Please, reach out to us in case of your interest.
