This change makes it so that we simplify the math engine so it doesn't
use a complicated set of nested iterators. That way, we have to change
math in one fewer place.
It also greatly simplifies the query engine as now we can create the
necessary iterators, join them by time, name, and tags, and then use the
cursor interface to read them and use eval to compute the result. It
makes it so the auxiliary iterators and all of their complexity can be
removed.
This also makes use of the new eval functionality that was recently
added to the influxql package.
No math functions have been added, but the scaffolding has been included
so things like trigonometry functions are just a single commit away.
This also introduces a small breaking change. Because of the call
optimization, it is now possible to use the same selector multiple times
as a selector. So if you do this:
SELECT max(value) * 2, max(value) / 2 FROM cpu
This will now return the timestamp of the max value rather than zero
since this query is considered to have only a single selector rather
than multiple separate selectors. If any aspect of the selector is
different, such as different selector functions or different arguments,
it will consider the selectors to be aggregates like the old behavior.
Along with modifying ExecutionContext to be a context and have the
TaskManager return the context itself, this also creates a Monitor
interface and exposes the Monitor through the Context. This way, we can
access the monitor from within the query.Select method and keep all of
the limits inside of the query package instead of leaking them into the
statement executor.
An eventual goal is to remove the InterruptCh from the IteratorOptions
and use the Context instead, but for now, we'll just assign the done
channel from the Context to the IteratorOptions so at least they refer
to the same channel.
Remove the `Query` prefix from some structs and interfaces. They were
there so when the query engine was in the same package as influxql,
these would be differentiated. Now that the package name is query, the
extra prefix seems redundant.
This change provides a clear separation between the query engine
mechanics and the query language so that the language can be parsed and
dealt with separate from the query engine itself.
