In order to retrieve shares with filters
pertaining to separate tables (shares, instances, metadata,
etc), we need to perform joined loads of those
respective database tables as necessary. After the
join, the query cannot select entities due to
Github issue #6253 - The following is an error when
the pattern is used:
sqlalchemy.exc.ArgumentError: Query has only expression-based entities - can't find property named "share_metadata".
sqlalchemy 1.4 has a performance improvement that
delays query processing [2] and disallows this
pattern of usage; we can use a query.count() instead.
In another instance, we can perform joins selectively
only if asked for.
