This commit makes a number of performance improvements to
reduce allocations during query execution. Several objects
and buffers are now reused across the components to avoid
allocations.
Previously a simple `count(value)` query across 1M points
would require 26,000+ allocations. After the changes in
this commit that number has been reduced to 88.
A missing tag on a point was sometimes treated as `""` and sometimes
treated as a separate `null` entity. This change modifies the equality
operations to always treat a missing tag as an empty string.
Empty tags are *not* indexed and do not have the same performance as a
tag that exists.
Fixes#3773.
If a point had no tags at all and was asked for the subset of tags with
at least one key, it would return a new set of tags that was completely
empty. In contrast, if the point had any tags at all, it would return a
set of tags with the tag value being an empty string. This lead to
a point with no tags being treated differently than a point with at
least one tag.
Fixing this so the tag value will always be an empty string for
consistency. A missing tag should always be empty.
If a non-existant shard was requested as part of the iterator,
the influxd server would panic. Now it handles this situation by
skipping the offending shard and returning properly when none could be
found.
The following query was fixed previously:
SELECT 'value' FROM cpu
This ended up hitting the `buildExprIterator()` code path and was
handled properly. But this query:
SELECT 'value', value FROM cpu
This took a different code path that would trigger a panic because it
triggered a panic instead of an error condition. This code path has now
been modified to trigger an error instead of a panic.
Fixes#6248.
Influxdb uses gdm for the dependency management. For gdm to work on Windows, it needs go 1.6. Influx still uses go 1.4.3. So go 1.6 will be sed for the pre-build stages, and go 1.4.3 to run the tests.
This arrangements is working in AppVeyor now.
Fixes#6211.
In Go-land packages with the same name, e.g., internal, do not clash
with each other when they're in different parts of the project. However
with protobufs definitions will clash if they share the same package
name.
This commit renames the influxql protobuf package to `influxql` to
avoid a clash with a message definition in another protobuf package
called internal. Go package aliases allow us to continue to refer to the
internal package as `internal` rather than `influxql`.

Send nil values from the tsm1 cursor at the end of the cursor. After the
cursor reached tsm1, the `nextAt()` call would always return the default
value rather than a nil value.
Descending also didn't work correctly because the seeking functionality
for tsm1 iterators would always act like they were ascending instead of
descending when choosing which value to select. This resulted in very
strange output from the emitter since it couldn't figure out if it was
ascending or descending.
Fixes#6206.
