This commit adds time support to SHOW TAG VALUES. Time can be used as
both a lower and upper boundary. However, there are some caveats.
For the `inmem` index, filtering by time will still return all results
because the index data is shared across shards.
For the `tsi1` index, filtering by time will only work down to the shard
lever. Specifically, when querying by time all shards within that time
range will be used to generate the results.

Field math works similar to condition evaluation, but not the exact same
because we have more information to work with in field expressions than
we do in conditional math because fields retain the information about
their source while conditions do not.
The main difference is that you cannot add an unsigned literal to the
output of an integer iterator while you can inside of a condition. You
can perform math on a positive integer literal to an unsigned iterator.
Inside of the condition, we aren't sure if an integer is because of a
literal or because of an iterator so we can't make that distinction.
Originally, casting was performed inside of the query engine especially
for call iterators. Currently, the engine takes care of all casting so
we just need to normalize the iterators types for type safety reasons
rather than actual functional reasons.
Removing this code. Cover coverage showed that it was not hit when run
against the actual server. I ran the tests package and got code coverage
of the query package while running the tests in that package.
It prints the statistics of each iterator that will access the storage
engine. For each access of the storage engine, it will print the number
of shards that will potentially be accessed, the number of files that
may be accessed, the number of series that will be created, the number
of blocks, and the size of those blocks.
Previously, subqueries would honor their own ordering. We never really
supported that and I have no idea if it would work since most parts in
the query engine assume that points are being delivered in only one
ordering.
Subqueries have now been modified so if a person tries to do different
ordering, they get an error when running the query. If they specify an
ordering in the top most query, that ordering gets propagated to all
subqueries.
Fixes#8699.
The first call is to compile the query. This performs some initial
processing that can be done before having any access to the shards. At
the moment, it does very little, but it's intended to be changed to
eventually perform initial validations of the query and create an
internal graph structure for the execution of the query.
The second call is to prepare the query. This step has access to the
shard mapper. Right now, it just maps the shards and rewrites the fields
of the query for any wildcards. In the future, it is intended to do the
above, but also to prepare the final directed acyclical graph that will
execute the query.
The third call is to select the query. This step is intended to create
all of the iterators for processing the query. At the moment, much of
the work intended for the second step is performed in the third step.
The statement rewriting logic should be in the query engine as part of
preparing a query. This creates a shard mapper interface that the query
engine expects and then passes it to the query engine instead of
requiring the query to be preprocessed before being input into the query
engine. This interface is (mostly) the same as the old interface, just
moved to a different package.
The ConditionExpr function is more accurate because it parses the
condition and ensures that time conditions are actually used correctly.
That means that attempting to combine conditions with OR will not result
in the query silently pretending it's an AND and nested conditions work
correctly so there is only one way to read the query.
It also extracts the non-time conditions into a separate condition so we
can stop attempting to parse around the time conditions in lower layers
of the storage engine. This change does not remove those hacks, but a
following commit should be able to sanitize the condition and remove
them.
This change provides a clear separation between the query engine
mechanics and the query language so that the language can be parsed and
dealt with separate from the query engine itself.
