The following types of queries will panic:
SELECT mean, host FROM (SELECT mean(value) FROM cpu GROUP BY host)
SELECT top(sum, host, 3) FROM (SELECT sum(value) FROM cpu GROUP BY host)
These queries _should_ work, but due to a current limitation with
aggregate functions, the aggregate functions won't return any auxiliary
fields. So even if a tag is not an auxiliary field, it is treated that
way by the query engine and this query will fail.
Fixing this properly will take a longer period of time. This fix just
prevents the panic from killing the server while we fix this for real.
The order of series keys is in ascending alphabetical order, not
descending alphabetical order, when it is ordered by descending time.
This fixes the ordering so points are returned in descending order. The
emitter also had the conditions for choosing which iterator to use in
the wrong direction (which only affects aggregates with `FILL(none)`).
This fixes LIMIT and OFFSET when they are used in a subquery where the
grouping of the inner query is different than the grouping of the outer
query. When organizing tag sets, the grouping of the outer query is
used so the final result is in the correct order. But, unfortunately,
the optimization incorrectly limited the number of points based on the
grouping in the outer query rather than the grouping in the inner query.
The ideal solution would be to use the outer grouping to further
organize it by the grouping for the inner subquery, but that's more
difficult to do at the moment. As an easier fix, the query engine now
limits the output of each series. This may result in these types of
queries being slower in some situations like this one:
SELECT mean(value) FROM (SELECT value FROM cpu GROUP BY host LIMIT 1)
This will be slower in a situation where the `cpu` measurement has a
high cardinality and many different tags.
This also fixes `last()` and `first()` when they are used in a subquery
because those functions use `LIMIT 1` as an internal optimization.
Every write to the WAL current runs and fsync before returning. When
there are lot of concurrent writes, this can cause the WAL to bottleneck
write throughput since fsyncs are very expensive.
This changes the writeToLog to fsync on an interval to allow multiple fsyncs
calls to be batched up into one. The writeToLog behavior is the same in that
it won't return until an fsync has been performed.
The code that checked if a query was authorized did not account for
sources that were subqueries. Now, the check for the required privileges
will descend into the subquery and add the subqueries required
privileges to the list of required privileges for the entire query.
When using `non_negative_derivative()` and `last()` in a math aggregate
with each other, the math would not be matched with each other because
one of those aggregates would emit one fewer point than the others. The
math iterators have been modified so they now track the name and tags of
a point and match based on those.
This isn't necessarily ideal and may come to bite us in the future. We
don't necessarily have a defined structure for all iterators so it can
be difficult to know which of two points is supposed to come first in
the ordering. This uses the common ordering that usually makes sense,
but the query engine is getting complicated enough where I am not 100%
certain that this is correct in all circumstances.
Fixes#7906
In an attempt to reduce the overhead of using regex for exact matches,
the query parser will replace `=~ /^thing$/` with `== 'thing'`, but the
conditions being checked would ignore if any flags were set on the
expression, so `=~ /(?i)^THING$/` was replaced with `== 'THING'`, which
will fail unless the case was already exact. This change ensures that no
flags have been changed from those defaulted by the parser.

Adds a `tsdb.Series.ForEachTag()` function for safely iterating
over a series' tags within the context of a lock. This preverts
tags from being dereferenced during iteration which can cause
a seg fault.
