As the size of a fragment grows, the cost of snapshots
increases; with a large fragment getting a lot of large writes,
every write will trigger a snapshot, while any other writes have
to wait for that snapshot before they, too, can trigger a snapshot.
To address this, we introduce a background queue of snapshots.
In general, operations which were omitting their ops log writes
and just snapshotting no longer do; they emit an ops log. This does
mean that, in some cases, the ops log is written and then a snapshot
takes place essentially immediately, which costs us some performance.
However, that only actually happens under very light load; under
heavier load, there's generally going to be multiple writes coalesced
into each snapshot, and the ops log writes for them will be much
cheaper than a full snapshot.
The attempt to fix up the logic broke returns from loadNodeID()
in some cases, because it was overwriting the node ID generated
in the IsNotExist case.
So with the switch to a new linter, we get a lot of new warnings,
and the majority of them are harmless probably, but a few might be
real. Variously just use _ to suppress warnings, or report errors.
There's probably things here that deserve better fixes, but we can
always revisit it.
I'd like to add stat tracking to Roaring, which means it
has to be able to import the stats package, which means
stats has to be a package rather than part of the pilosa
package. If stats stops being in pilosa, it still needs
a way to import logger, so logger also has to leave the
pilosa package. Then everything using them needs to import
them and use package selectors on their names.
This doesn't actually add the stats support to roaring,
it just makes it so there's a way to import the stats
code from something in the roaring package.
This commit removes the previous `MaxShard` tracking and replaces
it with an `Available Shards` set tracking. This allows sparse shard
tracking without implicitly tracking all shards in between.
