Negative timestamps are now supported. We also now refuse two
nanoseconds that are at the edge of the minimum time window. One of the
nanoseconds we do not accept is because we need MinInt64 to be used for
some internal comparisons in the TSM engine and it was causing an
underflow when we subtracted one from the minimum time. The second is so
we can have one minimum time that signifies the default minimum that
nobody can write to (so we can implicitly rewrite the timestamp on
aggregate queries) but still use the explicit timestamp if it is given
to us by the user. We aren't able to tell the difference between if the
user provided it or if it was implicit without those values being
different.
If the default minimum time is used with an aggregate query, we rewrite
the time to be the epoch for backwards compatibility since we believe
that's more important than supporting that extra nanosecond.
Previously, we implicitly added a newline and had to add one to the
number of bytes transmitted because we added that byte. That was removed
at some point and the metric was not updated to record the correct
value.
The query killing functionality depends on the ResponseWriter exposing a
CloseNotify method. Since we wrap the http.ResponseWriter, the new
struct does not have that method and the HTTP handler would skip past
calling that method.
Instead of duplicating `Flush()` and `CloseNotify()` for every response
formatter, we will unify all of that under a single struct and create
formatters instead.
Also, fixes a bug where the header information from a query would not be
returned until some other data was returned with it because of
buffering and another bug in the gzipResponseWriter that wouldn't flush
the actual underlying ResponseWriter.
This allows a long series of uninterruptible statements to still be
interrupted for a long running query that might do something like create
or drop many databases.
The query can be uploaded from a file using `multipart/form-data` and
setting the file name to `q`. An example of using curl to execute an
async query would be:
curl -F "q=@database.iql" -F "async=true" http://localhost:8086/query
It will return a 204 No Content as long as the query is accepted
(immediate errors will be returned, but not individual errors with
specific queries). The only way to kill the query is by using the task
manager.
CSV doesn't offer a way to separate different sheets from each other and
it doesn't really have a standard format. We separate sheets with a
newline so they can be imported into something like Excel or LibreOffice
more easily.
The number of columns for each sheet is inferred from the first returned
row in each statement since they should all be the same.
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.
