This commit makes a number of performance improvements to
reduce allocations during query execution. Several objects
and buffers are now reused across the components to avoid
allocations.
Previously a simple `count(value)` query across 1M points
would require 26,000+ allocations. After the changes in
this commit that number has been reduced to 88.
The current go compiler at the tip of the go master (1d5001af) has a modified implementation of
testing.quick.Check that now generates nil slices as test data. (See: https://gophers.slack.com/archives/general/p14567053570110). The existing tests expect round tripping to work in this case
but it does not. So, in these cases we change the expectation to reflect actual behaviour.
This needs to be checked for reasonableness.
If similar float values were encoded, the number of leading bits would
overflow the 5 available bits to store them (e.g. store 33 in 5 bits). When
decoding, the values after the overflowed value would spike to very large and
small values.
To prevent the overflow, we clamp the value to 31 which is the maximum
number of leading zero bits we can encoded.
Fixes#4357
Will make it less error-prone to add new encodings int the future
since each encoder has it's set of constants. There are some placeholder
contants for uncompressed encodings which are not in all encoder currently.
