The updated peg tool produces an Init that can return an error. As
of this writing, the error can't be non-nil unless you specified an
option which itself returned an error, but that could change later,
so let's be careful.
This modifies the parser to properly "unquote" incoming strings. So if
a string comes in double or single quoted, we approximately follow Go
rules for removing the quotes and processing escape sequences.
The differences from Go are:
1. we only support backslash, quote, tab and newline escape
sequenences.
2. Single quoted strings are supported and work just like double
quoted strings.
3. The peg parser won't actually accept backquoted strings (I don't
think)
Fixes: #411
So in some cases, when we do a query, the results of one
part of the query are innately shared-across-nodes; for
instance, a hypothetical Distinct query. More generally,
we allow cross-index queries; calls can have "index=foo"
in them.
This patch lets us handle that without duplicating that
query all over. Before we actually start doing the
separate calls, we run the query once from the coordinating
node, then patch the results in, and send relevant subsets
over to each client, etcetera. Also provides slightly
friendlier (and I hope faster) support for converting
bitmaps to/from sets of rows.
We also add an extension interface, and some fancy stuff
to let us define new calls, which use this. They're sort
of tied together because the first extension I wanted to
implement needed precomputed calls. The extension API
lets us create extensions using `pkg/plugin` (with all its
associated limitations, unfortunately), then query them
at load time for functionality.
This also implies some revamping of the argument
validation for PQL, like verifying that functions exist
and knowing things about their argument types.
So basically this is an overly intrusive patch, and would
be better as separate patches, but they're hard to detangle.
add trivial execution-time profiling
What if you could ?profile=true on a query and get some
numbers back? That'd be really cool.
We already have tracing/spans, but right now, those only generate
any data if you have something set up for them to trace to. Add a
fancy wrapper that lets us generate our own tracing data, and dump
it into the request response, if ?profile=true.
add a sample extension, add missing features to extension interface
Implement a naive probabilistic filter extension as an example of
what an extension looks like. In the process, discover multiple
omissions in the bitmap API. Well, I did *say* it was experimental.
The PQL looks like:
```
Range(frame=f, field0 >< [200,610])
```
One thing I noticed while implementing this is that it doesn't seem
like `FieldRange()` is used in either `Frame` or `View`; the Executor
calls `Fragment.FieldRange()` directly. The problem with this is that
the offset logic is calculated in the Frame, but since the Executor
doesn't go through Frame, then the Executor also has to calculate
the offset before calling `Fragment.FieldRange`. We should unify this
logic somewhere. Note, this applies to both `FieldRange` and
`FieldRangeBetween`.
this affects the scanner/parser and makes it produce signed ints rather than
uints, and so it affects all code that is expecting unsighed ints to come out of
the parser.
Consolidates all the pql.Call implementations into a single
pql.Call struct. This is needed to support user-defined schemas
on frames.
This also has the added benefit that a lot of redundant parsing
code has been consolidated.
This commit changes the `pql.Query` so that it can accept one or more
top-level calls instead of only one.
The query request format change because a query with a single call is
still valid. However, the result format now returns a `results` field
that has one result for each top-level call. The `profiles` field is
still the same, however, it combines all profiles from all bitmap
responses into one return so that there's not duplicate attributes.
Fixes#59
This commit adds the ability to set string, integer, and boolean
values on bitmaps and profiles within Pilosa. Bitmap attributes
are automatically returned when making a `Bitmap()` call. Profile
attributes must be requested by setting `profile=true` in the
URL.
The function names have also been renamed to initial caps so that
the PQL query language can support math operations in the future.
This commit refactors the pilosa codebase. It makes several major
changes:
* Removes bitmap handles
* Removes dispatch/hold/transport
* Removes etcd dependency
* Adds consistent hash ring for slice placement
* Refactors parser/lexer
* Adds strong typing to PQL AST
* Flattens package hierarchy
