The package contains all of the transpiler specs and allows them to be
put into different files instead of keeping all of the tests in the same
file. They are all Go code so they are type checked rather than being
loaded as JSON from disk.
Additionally, to make it easier for a developer, the tests will report
the exact file and line where the test was created. So rather than
hunting for which file a test is located in, you will get something nice
like the following:
--- FAIL: TestTranspiler/SELECT_count(value)_FROM_db0..cpu_WHERE_host_=_'server01' (0.00s)
testing.go:51: aggregates_with_condition.go:16: unexpected error: unimplemented function: "count"
As can be seen, the test that failed can be found in the
`aggregates_with_condition.go` file at line 16 which is where the test
was created by the `AggregateTest` function and the relevant spec can be
found in that same file.
The transpiler compilation tests will now not allow skip to be
specified. Instead, it must return an error message that starts with
`unimplemented` and then the reason will be used as the skip message.
This way, it will be easier to identify the failing tests in the
transpiler. In the previous method, it was possible for a test to be
marked as skip, but for the transpiler to return the wrong error message
because the test did not differentiate between an unimplemented error
message and an incorrect error message.
The transpiler now supports basic windowing. The window offsets are not
supported yet at all.
For windowing, we use the window function to split the points, perform
the aggregate/selector operation, and then we put them back into the
same window so they are within the same table as they originally were
located in. This is now reflected in the spec and the code.

The compiler tests from the github.com/influxdata/influxdb/query have
been moved over to the influxql transpiler in platform. The framework
has updated to include a skip option so that all of the tests can be
there, but not all of them have to succeed at the moment. If a test
starts succeeding but is marked as one that should be skipped, it will
also cause an error to prevent us from doing work on the transpiler
without marking the test as something not to skip anymore (so progress
is always made).
This extra flexibility makes it easier for the transpiler to generate a
specification since the map step can be focused on only generating the
columns related to fields. In particular, it makes it easier to
implement wildcards for tags because the tags will get passed along with
the partition key.
The spec says to use the `_time` column for the time in the output, but
we were mapping `r._time` to `time` and using the `time` variable. This
modifies the encoder to use the `_time` column and rename it to `time`
for the column name.
