We want to be able to use @SpringBootTest tests that fully initialize
the Spring application. This is much easier done with Junit than TestNG.
Gradle does not support (at least not easily) to run Junit and TestNG
tests. Therefore we switch to Junit with all tests.
The original reason for using TestNG was that Junit didn't support
data providers. But that finally changed in Junit5 with
ParameterizedTest.
Before: To compute the cumulative distribution we added every duration
into a LongList. This requires O(n) memory, where n is the number of
values.
Now: We store the durations + the number of occurrences in a
LongLongHashMap. This has the potential to reduce the memory
requirements if durations occur multiple times. There are a lot of
durations with 0, 1, 2 milliseconds. In the worst case every duration
is different. In that case the memory usage doubled with this solution.
Future: We are currently storing durations with milli seconds precision.
We don't have to do that. We cannot draw 100 million different values
on the y-axis in an images with only 1000px.
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.
