The Cursor returned will be capable of scanning rows into a structure.
It replaces part of the function for why the Emitter existed. The
Emitter would both join the resulting rows and then transform the values
into a models.Row so it could be returned to the results.
In the future, we will be able to use the Cursor directly to write out
values which should be more memory efficient.
When a meta query does not include a time component then it can be
answered exclusively by the index. This should result in a much faster
query execution that if the TSM engine was engaged.
This commit rewrites the following queries such that they make use
of the index where no time component is present:
- SHOW MEASUREMENTS
- SHOW SERIES
- SHOW TAG KEYS
- SHOW FIELD KEYS
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.
