Previously, calling derivative with a non-duration second argument was
allowed during parsing but would panic during execution due to a failed
type conversion. This change ensures the second argument is a duration
literal.
The functionality works the same as wildcards, but this time, you can
specify a regular expression.
One limitation is that you can't specify whether you only want to select
fields or tags. Since the regex can be changed to suit the person's
needs, I don't currently think this is an issue.
When attempting to reduce the WHERE clause, the time literals had not
been converted from string literals yet. This adds the functionality to
have it handle the same time math when the time literal is still a
string literal.
It is now possible to use a mixed duration unit like `1h30m`. The
duration units can be in whatever order as long as they are connected to
each other.
There is a change to the scanner. A token such as `10x` will be scanned
as a duration literal, but will then fail to parse as an invalid
duration. This should not be a breaking change as there is no situation
where `10m10` was a valid order of tokens for the parser.
Fixes#3634.
A query's String method is called multiple times per query. This commit
ensures all calls to query.String share use of a strings.NewReplacer.
This approximately halves the number of allocations for the benchmarked
query.
Casting syntax is done with the PostgreSQL syntax `field1::float` to
specify which type should be used when selecting a field. You can also
do `field1::field` or `tag1::tag` to specify that a field or tag should
be selected.
This makes it possible to select a tag when a field key and a tag key
conflict with each other in a measurement. It also means it's possible
to choose a field with a specific type if multiple shards disagree. If
no types are given, the same ordering for how a type is chosen is used
to determine which type to return.
The FieldDimensions method has been updated to return the data type for
the fields that get returned. The SeriesKeys function has also been
removed since it is no longer needed. SeriesKeys was originally used for
the fill iterator, but then expanded to be used by auxiliary iterators
for determining the channel iterator types. The fill iterator doesn't
need it anymore and the auxiliary types are better served by
FieldDimensions implementing that functionality, so SeriesKeys is no
longer needed.
Fixes#6519.
Also removes the functions `HasSimpleCount()` and `HasCountDistinct()`
as they are no longer useful. They had a small role in validation that
has now been moved into `validateAggregates()`.
Fixes#6472.
A bigger refactor of these functions is needed to support #3290, but
this will work for the more common case that someone uses double quotes
instead of single quotes when surrounding a time literal.
Fixes#3932.
Numbers in the query without any decimal will now be emitted as integers
instead and be parsed as an IntegerLiteral. This ensures we keep the
original context that a query was issued with and allows us to act more
similar to how programming languages are typically structured when it
comes to floats and ints.
This adds functionality for dealing with integers promoting to floats in
the various different places where math are used.
Fixes#5744 and #5629.
`SHOW TAG VALUES` output has been modified to print the measurement name
for every measurement and to return the output in two columns: key and
value. An example output might be:
> SHOW TAG VALUES WITH KEY IN (host, region)
name: cpu
---------
key value
host server01
region useast
name: mem
---------
key value
host server02
region useast
`measurementsByExpr` has been taught how to handle reserved keys (ones
with an underscore at the beginning) to allow reusing that function and
skipping over expressions that don't matter to the call.
Fixes#5593.
When a wildcard is specified for the field but not the dimensions, the
dimensions get added to the list of fields as part of
`RewriteWildcards()`.
But when a dimension was given with no wildcard, the dimension didn't
get removed from the wildcard in the fields section. This teaches the
rewriter to disclude dimensions explicitly included from being expanded
as a field. Now this statement when a measurement has one tag named host
and a field named value:
SELECT * FROM cpu GROUP BY host
Would expand to this:
SELECT value FROM cpu GROUP BY host
Instead of this:
SELECT host, value FROM cpu GROUP BY host
If you want the latter behavior, you can include it like this:
SELECT host, * FROM cpu GROUP BY host
Fixes#5770.
The name of the column will be every measurement located inside of the
math expression in the order they are encountered in within the
expression.
Also handle `*influxql.ParenExpr` in the function
`(*influxql.Field).Name()`
Fixes#5730.
go 1.5 was being used to develop the query engine branch, but we aren't
using 1.5 for master at the moment. This fixes issues that go vet brings
up in 1.4 that don't exist in 1.5.
When stringifying a query, we would print the identifier bare most
of the time. This caused issues when stringifying an identifier
that contained elements of syntax. For example, querying for the
value "in-bytes" would fail because the mapper would serialize it to
in-bytes and would parse it as an expression. Same problem occured
when using keywords as identifier names, such as select or in.
Fixes#3547
