/**
* Relationship handler that 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.
