The Window function will now check before it adjusts the offset whether
it is going to overflow or underflow. If it is going to do either, it
sets the start or end time to MinTime or MaxTime.
The following functions require ordered input but were not guaranteed to
received ordered input:
* `distinct()`
* `sample()`
* `holt_winters()`
* `holt_winters_with_fit()`
* `derivative()`
* `non_negative_derivative()`
* `difference()`
* `moving_average()`
* `elapsed()`
* `cumulative_sum()`
* `top()`
* `bottom()`
These function calls have now been modified to request that their input
be ordered by the query engine. This will prevent the improper output
that could have been caused by multiple series being merged together or
multiple shards being merged together potentially incorrectly when no
time grouping was specified.
Two additional functions were already correct to begin with (so there
are no bugs with these two, but I'm including their names for
completeness).
* `median()`
* `percentile()`
If there were multiple selectors and math, the query engine would
mistakenly think it was the only selector in the query and would not
match their timestamps.
Fixed the query engine to pass whether the selector should be treated as
a selector so queries like `max(value) * 1, min(value) * 1` will match
the timestamps of the result.
Additionally, support unary addition and subtraction for variables,
calls, and parenthesis expressions. Doing `-value` will be the
equivalent of doing `-1 * value` now.
The timezone for a query can now be added to the end with something like
`TZ("America/Los_Angeles")` and it will localize the results of the
query to be in that timezone. The offset will automatically be set to
the offset for that timezone and offsets will automatically adjust for
daylight savings time so grouping by a day will result in a 25 hour day
once a year and a 23 hour day another day of the year.
The automatic adjustment of intervals for timezone offsets changing will
only happen if the group by period is greater than the timezone offset
would be. That means grouping by an hour or less will not be affected by
daylight savings time, but a 2 hour or 1 day interval will be.
The default timezone is UTC and existing queries are unaffected by this
change.
When times are returned as strings (when `epoch=1` is not used), the
results will be returned using the requested timezone format in RFC3339
format.
There is a lot of confusion in the code if the range is [start, end) or
[start, end]. This is not made easier because it is acts one way in some
areas and in another way in some other areas, but it is usually [start,
end]. The `time = ?` syntax assumed that it was [start, end) and added
an extra nanosecond to the end time to accomodate for that, but the
range was actually [start, end] and that caused it to include one extra
nanosecond when it shouldn't have.
This change fixes it so exactly one timestamp is selected when `time = ?`
is used.
The underlying iterators were not closed when a query was kill so
although the client would receive an error, the query would continue
on until completion.
When there were multiple series and anything other than the last series
had any null values, the series would start using the first point from
the next series to interpolate points.
Interpolation should not cross between series. Now, the linear fill
checks to make sure the next point is within the same series before
using it to perform interpolation.
When rewriting fields, wildcards within binary expressions were skipped.
This now throws an error whenever it finds a wildcard within a binary
expression in order to prevent the panic that occurs.
A single line comment will read until the end of a line and is started
with `--` (just like SQL). A multiline comment is with `/* */`. You
cannot nest multiline comments.
Previously, subqueries would only be able to select tag fields within a
subquery if the subquery used a selector. But, it didn't filter out
aggregates like `mean()` so it would panic instead.
Now it is possible to select the tag directly instead of rewriting the
query in an invalid way.
Some queries in this form will still not work though. For example, the
following still does not function (but also doesn't panic):
SELECT count(host) FROM (SELECT mean, host FROM (SELECT mean(value) FROM cpu GROUP BY host))
The builder used for subqueries does not handle parenthesis, but a set
of parenthesis wrapping a field would cause it to panic. This code now
reduces the expression so the parenthesis are removed before being
processed.
They rebased a revision we were previously relying upon that allowed us
to use the vanity name so we are reverting back to an older version with
the old import path.
This commit introduces a new interface type, influxql.Authorizer, that
is passed as part of a statement's execution context and determines
whether the context is permitted to access a given database. In the
future, the Authorizer interface may be expanded to other resources
besides databases. In this commit, the Authorizer interface is
specifically used to determine which databases are returned when
executing SHOW DATABASES.
When HTTP authentication is enabled, the existing meta.UserInfo struct
implements Authorizer, meaning admin users can SHOW every database, and
non-admin users can SHOW only databases for which they have read and/or
write permission.
When HTTP authentication is disabled, all databases are visible through
SHOW DATABASES.
This addresses a long-standing issue where Chronograf or Grafana would
be unable to list databases if the logged-in user did not have admin
privileges.
Fixes#4785.
The following types of queries will panic:
SELECT mean, host FROM (SELECT mean(value) FROM cpu GROUP BY host)
SELECT top(sum, host, 3) FROM (SELECT sum(value) FROM cpu GROUP BY host)
These queries _should_ work, but due to a current limitation with
aggregate functions, the aggregate functions won't return any auxiliary
fields. So even if a tag is not an auxiliary field, it is treated that
way by the query engine and this query will fail.
Fixing this properly will take a longer period of time. This fix just
prevents the panic from killing the server while we fix this for real.
The order of series keys is in ascending alphabetical order, not
descending alphabetical order, when it is ordered by descending time.
This fixes the ordering so points are returned in descending order. The
emitter also had the conditions for choosing which iterator to use in
the wrong direction (which only affects aggregates with `FILL(none)`).
The code that checked if a query was authorized did not account for
sources that were subqueries. Now, the check for the required privileges
will descend into the subquery and add the subqueries required
privileges to the list of required privileges for the entire query.
