Previously, only time expressions got propagated inwards. The reason for
this was simple. If the outer query was going to filter to a specific
time range, then it would be unnecessary for the inner query to output
points within that time frame. It started as an optimization, but became
a feature because there was no reason to have the user repeat the same
time clause for the inner query as the outer query. So we allowed an
aggregate query with an interval to pass validation in the subquery if
the outer query had a time range. But `GROUP BY` clauses were not
propagated because that same logic didn't apply to them. It's not an
optimization there. So while grouping by a tag in the outer query
without grouping by it in the inner query was useless, there wasn't any
particular reason to care.
Then a bug was found where wildcards would propagate the dimensions
correctly, but the outer query containing a group by with the inner
query omitting it wouldn't correctly filter out the outer group by. We
could fix that filtering, but on further review, I had been seeing
people make that same mistake a lot. People seem to just believe that
the grouping should be propagated inwards. Instead of trying to fight
what the user wanted and explicitly erase groupings that weren't
propagated manually, we might as well just propagate them for the user
to make their lives easier. There is no useful situation where you would
want to group into buckets that can't physically exist so we might as
well do _something_ useful.
This will also now propagate time intervals to inner queries since the
same applies there. But, while the interval propagates, the following
query will not pass validation since it is still not possible to use a
grouping interval with a raw query (even if the inner query is an
aggregate):
SELECT * FROM (SELECT mean(value) FROM cpu) WHERE time > now() - 5m GROUP BY time(1m)
This also means wildcards will behave a bit differently. They will
retrieve dimensions from the sources in the inner query rather than just
using the dimensions in the group by.
Fixing top() and bottom() to return the correct auxiliary fields.
Unfortunately, we were not copying the buffer with the auxiliary fields
so those values would be overwritten by a later point.
Hello,
I have tried this example as it is for now. Encountered an error that AddPoint function expects only one argument. Checked you GoDoc and updated the example in your error handling style. It works like this.
This change delays Tag cloning until a new series is found, and will
only clone Tags acquired from `ParsePoints...` and not those referencing
the mmap-ed files (TSM) that are created on startup.
This leak seems to have been introduced in 8aa224b22d,
present in 1.1.0 and 1.1.1.
When points were parsed from HTTP payloads, their tags and fields
referred to subslices of the request body; if any tag set introduced a
new series, then those tags then were stored in the in-memory series
index objects, preventing the HTTP body from being garbage collected. If
there were no new series in the payload, then the request body would be
garbage collected as usual.
Now, we clone the tags before we store them in the index. This is an
imperfect fix because the Point still holds references to the original
tags, and the Point's field iterator also refers to the payload buffer.
However, the current write code path does not retain references to the
Point or its fields; and this change will likely be obsoleted when TSI
is introduced.
This change likely fixes#7827, #7810, #7778, and perhaps others.
This change adds some very basic name validation with the following
plain-english description: names must be non-zero sequence of printable
characters that do not contain slashes ('/' or '\') and are not equal to
either "." or "..".
The intent is that, since we currently just use database and retention
policy names directly as path elements, these rules will hopefully leave
us with names that should be at least close to valid directory names.
Ideally, we would restrict names even further or not use them as path
elements directly, but this should be a step towards the former without
restricting names "too much"
Fixes#7822
This change first ensures that databases and retention policies exist
before attempting to remove them from the Store. It also adds some
checks in the `DeleteDatabase` and `DeleteRetentionPolicy` to ensure
that maliciously named entries won't remove anything outside of the
configured data directory.
I ran into an issue where the cache snapshotting seemed to stop
completely causing the cache to fill up and never recover. I believe
this is due to the the Timer being reused incorrectly. Instead,
use a Ticker that will fire more regularly and not require the resetting
logic (which was wrong).
The memory stats as well as the size of the cache were not accurate.
There was also a problem where the cache size would be increased
optimisitically, but if the cache size limit was hit, it would not
be decreased. This would cause the cache size to grow without
bounds with every failed write.
