- Staging buffer is flushed every 500ms. In cases where the result
records are slowly generated (e.g. when a where condition
matches very few records), this change causes the server to send
results even though the staging buffer is not full.
- Refactor messageWriter code to use simpler channel based
co-ordination instead of atomic variables.
Batching records into a single SQL Select message in the response
leads to significant speed up as the message header overhead is made
negligible.
This change leads to a speed up of 3-5x for queries that select many
small records.
- New parser written from scratch, allows easier and complete parsing
of the full S3 Select SQL syntax. Parser definition is directly
provided by the AST defined for the SQL grammar.
- Bring support to parse and interpret SQL involving JSON path
expressions; evaluation of JSON path expressions will be
subsequently added.
- Bring automatic type inference and conversion for untyped
values (e.g. CSV data).
This PR implements one of the pending items in issue #6286
in S3 API a user can request CSV output for a JSON document
and a JSON output for a CSV document. This PR refactors
the code a little bit to bring this feature.
This improves the performance of certain queries dramatically,
such as 'count(*)' etc.
Without this PR
```
~ time mc select --query "select count(*) from S3Object" myminio/sjm-airlines/star2000.csv.gz
2173762
real 0m42.464s
user 0m0.071s
sys 0m0.010s
```
With this PR
```
~ time mc select --query "select count(*) from S3Object" myminio/sjm-airlines/star2000.csv.gz
2173762
real 0m17.603s
user 0m0.093s
sys 0m0.008s
```
Almost a 250% improvement in performance. This PR avoids a lot of type
conversions and instead relies on raw sequences of data and interprets
them lazily.
