+ * Build Sequelize models from sequelize raw query (that must use { nest: true } options)
+ *
+ * In order to sequelize to correctly build the JSON this class will ingest,
+ * the columns selected in the raw query should be in the following form:
+ *   * All tables must be Pascal Cased (for example "VideoChannel")
+ *   * Root table must end with `Model` (for example "VideoCommentModel")
+ *   * Joined tables must contain the origin table name + '->JoinedTable'. For example:
+ *     * "Actor" is joined to "Account": "Actor" table must be renamed "Account->Actor"
+ *     * "Account->Actor" is joined to "Server": "Server" table must be renamed to "Account->Actor->Server"
+ *   * Selected columns must be renamed to contain the JSON path:
+ *     * "videoComment"."id": "VideoCommentModel"."id"
+ *     * "Account"."Actor"."Server"."id": "Account.Actor.Server.id"
+ *   * All tables must contain the row id
