I did this with a dumb editor macro, so some comments changed too.
Also rename root package from platform to influxdb.
In interest of minimizing risk, anyone importing the root package has
now aliased it to "platform" so that no changes beyond imports were
necessary in those files.
Lastly, replace the old platform module to local path /dev/null so that
nobody can accidentally reintroduce a platform dependency while
migrating platform code to influxdb.
This commit adds support for "prefix keys". Prefix keys differ from
regular tombstone key entries in that the key of the entry should act as
a prefix that matches all series with the same prefix key for the given
time range.
This means only one entry is needed to delete many series.
The tombstone entries now have a maximum length of 16777215 (24 bits),
with the remaining 8 high bits available for setting further options /
meta information about the tombstone entry.
In this case, the top bit is used to indicate that the tombstone entry
is intended to be a prefix. This leaves 7 spare bits for future use.
