loadContainerState
Retrieves the persisted container state for a specific user.
This method performs an indexed lookup to efficiently locate and deserialize the container state associated with the provided userId. The operation is optimized for single-user retrieval and returns null if no state exists for the user.
Query Optimization:
Primary key index ensures O(log n) lookup performance
Single-row limitation minimizes data transfer and memory usage
Lazy loading of related entities improves initial response time
Data Integrity:
Automatic deserialization validates stored state structure
Null-safe return type prevents unexpected runtime exceptions
Transactional consistency ensures atomic read operations
Return
The complete container state entity if found, null if no state exists for the user
Parameters
Unique identifier for the user whose container state should be retrieved
