Queries like "firstname=John and lastname=???" were slightly
inefficient.
They fetched all firstnames, filtered to those that matched the prefix
(e.g. John or Jonathan is this example) and then iterated over all those
values and return the lastnames.
Fixed by having two implementations. One for the case that only a few
of the values in fieldA match and one for the case that many match.
When using autocomplete to return field values I
missed, that autocomplete had the feature that cut
values at dots. So instead of returning full field
values only the prefix up to the first dot was
returned.
Fixed by making the cut-at-dot feature optional.
We had a method that returned the values of a field
with respect to a query. That method was inefficient,
because it executed the query, fetched all Docs
and collected the values.
The autocomplete method we introduced a while back
can answer the same question but much more efficiently.
People are having trouble to understand durations like
100000 or 2.7E+6 milliseconds. Therefore we are
hanging the labels on the y-axis to include the unit
in the tic's label. We also use multiples of seconds,
minutes, hours and days instead of multiples of 10.
Guava's cache does not evict elements reliably by
time. Configure a cache to have a lifetime of n
seconds, then you cannot expect that an element is
actually evicted after n seconds with Guava.
The MAX_KEY inserted into the tree had a value of one byte. This
triggered an assertion for maps with values of type Empty, because they
expected values to be empty.
Fixed by using an empty array for the value of the MAX_KEY.
The computation of proposals is done by searching for values in a
combined index. If one of the values didn't exist, then the algorithm
returned all values. Fixed by checking that we query only existing
field/values from the combined index.
In order to prevent files from getting too big and
make it easier to implement retention policies, we
are splitting all files into chunks. Each chunk
contains the data for a time interval (1 month per
default).
This first changeset introduces the ClusteredPersistentMap
that implements this for PersistentMap. It is used
for a couple (not all) of indices.
