Maps unable to add geo filter until all data requests are complete.

[desean1625]

Kibana version:
7.17 and 8.6.2
very similar to issue #159872

Describe the bug:
Unable to add geo filter until all data requests are complete.

Steps to reproduce:
start to add layer
try and add geo filter via tools->Draw Bounds to filter data -> Draw bounds
cant add filter until all data requests are complete (this can take up to a few minutes if you have a slow cross cluster search)
Expected behavior:
Ability to add filter

Thanks for the report @desean1625. Does this video capture the issue?

If so, we need to do some research to see how how we can triage this.

Meanwhile, here are some possible workarounds:

• change the time picker to a very small range before adding the layer.
• after the layer is added you could change the time range to abort the previous long-running query.
• draw the filter before adding the layer
• if the layer already exists, turn off the layer, draw the filter, then turn on the layer

Yes this is exactly what we are seeing.

These are the work arounds we have been using, but we have some maps that have 30-40 layers.

Also if it is cross cluster search and one of the clusters is having issues the search response can take a long time even if the time range is small. This issue is a high priority for us because it makes dashboards almost unusable when cross cluster search is having issues, or a data request on one of the 30 layers takes a while.

@nickpeihl Also note that it isn't just the query layers, it is also the basemap loading that causes this issue. Some of the Geoservers don't cache tiles at all zoom levels, so when the user zooms in they are unable to do geo filters until after the basemap finishes loading. There are also cases where that basemap never finishes and it eventually times out.

This means that the more layers you add the greater the chance of not being able to set a geo filter.

I have isolated the root cause of the issue. Mapbox-gl-draw library waits until after map load event to initialize event listeners such as mouseup, https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-draw/blob/main/src/setup.js#L75. map.loaded is returning false because there are changes to the sources or style that has not yet fully loaded.

      if (map.loaded()) {
        setup.connect();
      } else {
        map.on('load', setup.connect);
        mapLoadedInterval = setInterval(() => { if (map.loaded()) setup.connect(); }, 16);
      }

I opened mapbox/mapbox-gl-draw#1205 to see if this problem can be resolved at mapbox-gl-draw level
