- Add a folder where you can drop Zip files which will then be
extracted on the fly and ingsted.
- CsvReaderSettings now contain TagMatcher that are applied to the
first line and can be used to extract additional tags.
- Update to jdk 16 so that we can have records.
Computing the union of many LongLists was inefficient, because we were
using a trivial algorithm. I replaced the algorithm with a multi way
merge. The old algorithm had a runtime of O(n!*m) where n is the number
of lists and m the length or the longest list. The new algorithm has a
runtime of O(log(n) * n*m).
The writerCache in DataStore did not use the partitionId
in its cache key. Therefore the cache could return the
wrong writer and events were written to the wrong
partition.
Fixed by changing the cache key.
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.
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.
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.
BSFile was used to store two types of data. This makes
the API complex. I split the API into two files with
easier and more clear APIs. Interestingly the API of
BSFile is still rather complex and has to consider both
use cases.
Due to a mistake in Tag which added all strings used
by Tag into the String dictionary, the dictionary
did contain all values that were used in queries.
