This allows a BSI field to have an option indicating
that it is a foreign key to another index. If the foreign
index has column keys, then this field handles string values
by using the foreign index's translate store.
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.
This commit adds a Decimal field type which is implemented mostly with
the Int field. It adds an optional "Scale" value to the Int field
which means that the values stored in that field are actually meant to
be divided by 10^Scale before being interpreted.
In order to make use of this functionality, we extend the importValue
request to allow a slice of floats rather than just int64. If the
slice of floats is present, each float in the slice is multiplied by
10^Scale and converted to an int64 before being imported. If a slice
of int64 is imported to a Decimal field, it is treated normally, and
scale is ignored. This allows the conversion to be handled at the
client side if desired.
Currently there are Field level methods for querying Float values out
of a decimal field, but no support in PQL or the executor for getting
float values. Going to wait until I can use the generic result type
before doing that, so for now, any values queried will be the scaled
integer values.
needed to add client support for importing float values, and did this
by adding a more general and simplified client method for value
imports.
rewrote api.ImportValue to use the new method which should be more
performant and efficient.
allow floats to be "pilosa import"ed into decimal fields
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.
We track wall-clock execution time, plus possible arbitrary K/V
pairs. Memory stats are not included, because obtaining them is
surprisingly expensive.
