This patch adds the missing view building code to the eponymous class.
We consume from the reader associated with each base table until all
its views are built. If the reader reaches the end and there are
incomplete views, then a view was added while others were being built.
In such cases, we restart the reader to the beginning of the current
token, but not to the beginning of the token range, when the view is
added. Then, when we exhaust the reader, we simply create a new one
for the whole token range, and resume building the pending views.
We aim to be resource-conscious. On a given shard, at any given moment,
we consume at most from one reader. We also strive for fairness, in that
each build step inserts entries for the views of a different base. Each
build step reads and generates updates for batch_size rows. We lack a
controller, which could potentially allow us to go faster (to execute
multiple steps at the same time, or consume more rows per batch), and
also which would apply backpressure, so we could, for example, delay
executing a build step.
