The decoders were held onto each iterator to avoid creating them all
the time. Some of them have use quite a bit of memory so they can
be expensive to create when querying across many series.
Intead, more them to a re-usable pool where we create the minimum that
could active be in use. This reduces garbage as well as makes the iterators
less expensive to create.
If there were blocks in later TSM files that were for overwritten
points or writes into the past, they could be returned more than
once or out of order causing the cursor values to be unsorted.
One effect of this is that graphs in graphana would render with
the line going all over the place in spots.
This might also cause duplicate data to be returned.
Fixes#6738
This fixes a pathalogical query condition cause by and problematic
structuring of TSM files based on how points were written. The
condition can occur when there are multiple TSM files and a large
number of points are written into the past. The earlier existing
TSM files must also have points in the past and close to the present
causing their time range to eclipse the later files.
When this condition occurs, some queries can spend an excessive amount
of time merge all the overlapping blocks.
The fix was to constrain the window of overlapping blocks based on
the first one we ran into. There was also a simple case in the Merge
where we could skip the binary search path and just append the two
inputs.
