/**
 * The relationship handler for groupwise maximum queries.
 *
 * It allows a groupwise maximum of the linked in table.
 * For a definition, see:
 * http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/example-maximum-column-group-row.html
 * In lay terms, instead of joining to get all matching records in the linked
 * table, we get only one record, a 'representative record' picked according
 * to a given criteria.
 *
 * Example:
 * Suppose we have a term view that gives us the terms: Horse, Cat, Aardvark.
 * We wish to show for each term the most recent node of that term.
 * What we want is some kind of relationship from term to node.
 * But a regular relationship will give us all the nodes for each term,
 * giving the view multiple rows per term. What we want is just one
 * representative node per term, the node that is the 'best' in some way:
 * eg, the most recent, the most commented on, the first in alphabetical order.
 *
 * This handler gives us that kind of relationship from term to node.
 * The method of choosing the 'best' implemented with a sort
 * that the user selects in the relationship settings.
 *
 * So if we want our term view to show the most commented node for each term,
 * add the relationship and in its options, pick the 'Comment count' sort.
 *
 * Relationship definition
 *  - 'outer field': The outer field to substitute into the correlated subquery.
 *       This must be the full field name, not the alias.
 *       Eg: 'term_data.tid'.
 *  - 'argument table',
 *    'argument field': These options define a views argument that the subquery
 *     must add to itself to filter by the main view.
 *     Example: the main view shows terms, this handler is being used to get to
 *     the nodes base table. Your argument must be 'term_node', 'tid', as this
 *     is the argument that should be added to a node view to filter on terms.
 *
 * A note on performance:
 * This relationship uses a correlated subquery, which is expensive.
 * Subsequent versions of this handler could also implement the alternative way
 * of doing this, with a join -- though this looks like it could be pretty messy
 * to implement. This is also an expensive method, so providing both methods and
 * allowing the user to choose which one works fastest for their data might be
 * the best way.
 * If your use of this relationship handler is likely to result in large
 * data sets, you might want to consider storing statistics in a separate table,
 * in the same way as node_comment_statistics.
