With higher cardinality or larger series keys, the files can roll
over early which causes them to take longer to be compacted by higher
levels. This causes larger disk usage and higher numbers of tsm files
at times.
This changes the compaction scheduling to better utilize the available
cores that are free. Previously, a level was planned in its own goroutine
and would kick off a number of compactions groups. The problem with this
model was that if there were 4 groups, and 3 completed quickly, the planning
would be blocked for that level until the last group finished. If the compactions
at the prior level are running more quickly, a large backlog could accumlate.
This now moves the planning to a single goroutine that plans each level in
succession and starts as many groups as it can. When one group finishes,
the planning will start the next group for the level.
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.
Any operation between an int64 and uint64 results in the type becoming a
uint64. This is because the most common will usually be an unsigned
cursor being modified by an int literal. Even in cases where we were to
add an unsigned literal to an integer iterator, that would just result
in it being recast back and overflow.
The fysncs due to large writes when writing to TSM files and the
WAL can eventually cause large pauses. Since we already buffer
writes, using synchronous IO reduces fsync latency by ensuring
the individiual writes hit disk. This spreads out the latecncy
across multiple writes better.
