Casting syntax is done with the PostgreSQL syntax `field1::float` to
specify which type should be used when selecting a field. You can also
do `field1::field` or `tag1::tag` to specify that a field or tag should
be selected.
This makes it possible to select a tag when a field key and a tag key
conflict with each other in a measurement. It also means it's possible
to choose a field with a specific type if multiple shards disagree. If
no types are given, the same ordering for how a type is chosen is used
to determine which type to return.
The FieldDimensions method has been updated to return the data type for
the fields that get returned. The SeriesKeys function has also been
removed since it is no longer needed. SeriesKeys was originally used for
the fill iterator, but then expanded to be used by auxiliary iterators
for determining the channel iterator types. The fill iterator doesn't
need it anymore and the auxiliary types are better served by
FieldDimensions implementing that functionality, so SeriesKeys is no
longer needed.
Fixes#6519.
Background of the bug: Prior to this patch we actually tried writing
points that were older than the retention period of the shard. This
caused race condition when it came to writing points to a shard that's
being dropped, which will happen frequently if the user is loading old
data (by accident). This is demonstrated in the test in this commit.This
bug was previously addressed in #985. It turns the fix for #985 wasn't
enough. A user reported in #1078 that some shards are left behind and
not deleted.
It turns out that while the shard is being dropped more write
requests could come in and end up on line `cluster/shard.go:195` which
will cause the datastore to create a shard on disk that isn't tracked
anywhere in the metadata. This shard will live forever and never get
deleted. This fix address this issue by not writing old points in, but
there are still some edge cases with the current implementation, at
least not as bad as current master.
Close#1078
Fixes#853. Close#854. Previously, there was an unprotected endpoint in
raft to return the cluster config that would include user hashes. This
endpoint is useful for debugging purposes so I restructured it and moved
it to the API. It ensures the requesting user is a cluster admin.
Cluster config will now return all of the cluster state including
servers, CQs, shards, etc.
Conflicts:
integration/single_server_test.go
Fixes#867. Close#927. Updated lexer and parser to work, added code to
coordinator to insert spaces if requested. Now the user can request the
shard spaces. `list series include spaces`

This will help users recover from #886. It's dangerous functionality because it only changes the metadata. Will document and tell people to use with caution.
