This changes the API of the types but does not alter the functionality
since only the `context.Background()` is currently being used. Adding
`Context` will help handle fault tolerance in the future by allowing
timeouts to be propagated across calls to different nodes.
This commit moves the cache flush to the `Index` and only serializes
a single fragment at a time.
Also included in this commit is the `inspect` command for the
`pilsoactl` binary. This provides insight into pilosa data files.
This commit refactors the anti-entropy system to fetch data from
all replicated blocks and only set/clear bits which deviate from
the consensus between all blocks.
An example of this is if 3 nodes had the following bits set for
a single bitmap:
Node A: 1 2 3
Node B: 2 4
Node C: 1 2 4
Then only bits which are set on a majority will be set. In this
case bits 1, 2, & 4 are set but 3 only exists on a single node.
The node performing the merge would then determine the following
set/clear diffs for each node:
Node A: clear(3), set(4)
Node B: set(1)
Node C: none
Once the merge is performed and all nodes receive their diff
instructions then the nodes will be in sync:
Node A: 1 2 4
Node B: 1 2 4
Node C: 1 2 4
There still exists situations where bits can be reset. If Node A
is up and Node B & C are down then Node A's bits will be reset
once B & C come back online. We should add write consistency
settings for incoming writes so that we can ensure that a quorum
is written to before returning a success. This is outside the
scope of this commit though.
This commit attaches the mmap-backed roaring bitmaps as storage
to the fragments. Currently snapshotting is not supported from
Pilosa so the WAL will grow indefinitely, however, it is not a
difficult change to make.
