* fix unit tests * fix: sqlness * fix/default-time-window: ## Add Helper Functions and Enhance Compaction Tests - **Refactor Compaction Logic**: Introduced helper functions `flush` and `compact` in `compaction_test.rs` to streamline compaction operations. - **Enhance Compaction Tests**: Added a new test `test_infer_compaction_time_window` in `compaction_test.rs` to verify compaction time window inference. - **Testing Improvements**: Added `#[cfg(test)]` attribute to `new_multi_partitions` in `time_partition.rs` to ensure it's only included in test builds. * fix/default-time-window: - **Refactor `TimePartition` Struct**: Removed unnecessary comments regarding `time_range` in `time_partition.rs`. - **Enhance `TimePartitions` Functionality**: Added a method `part_duration_or_default` to provide a default partition duration in `time_partition.rs`. - **Update SQL Test Cases**: Modified SQL operations and expected results in `scan_big_varchar.result` and `scan_big_varchar.sql` to reflect changes in data manipulation logic. * fix/default-time-window: ### Update Time Partition Default Duration - **Refactor Default Duration**: Introduced `INITIAL_TIME_WINDOW` constant to define the default time window duration as `Duration::from_days(1)`. This change replaces multiple instances of the hardcoded default duration across the `time_partition.rs` file. - **Files Affected**: `time_partition.rs` * fix/default-time-window: ## Update Partition Duration Handling - **`time_partition.rs`**: Refactored `part_duration` to be non-optional, removing `Option` wrapper. Updated logic to use `unwrap_or` with `INITIAL_TIME_WINDOW` where necessary. Adjusted related methods and tests to accommodate this change. - **`version.rs` (memtable and region)**: Updated handling of `part_duration` to align with changes in `time_partition.rs`, ensuring consistent use of non-optional `Duration`. * fix/default-time-window: ### Improve Error Context in `time_partition.rs` - Enhanced error context message in `time_partition.rs` to provide clearer information on partition time range issues, including bucket size details.

Introduction
GreptimeDB is an open-source, cloud-native database purpose-built for the unified collection and analysis of observability data (metrics, logs, and traces). Whether you’re operating on the edge, in the cloud, or across hybrid environments, GreptimeDB empowers real-time insights at massive scale — all in one system.
Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Unified Observability Data | Store metrics, logs, and traces as timestamped, contextual wide events. Query via SQL, PromQL, and streaming. |
| High Performance & Cost Effective | Written in Rust, with a distributed query engine, rich indexing, and optimized columnar storage, delivering sub-second responses at PB scale. |
| Cloud-Native Architecture | Designed for Kubernetes, with compute/storage separation, native object storage (AWS S3, Azure Blob, etc.) and seamless cross-cloud access. |
| Developer-Friendly | Access via SQL/PromQL interfaces, REST API, MySQL/PostgreSQL protocols, and popular ingestion protocols. |
| Flexible Deployment | Deploy anywhere: edge (including ARM/Android) or cloud, with unified APIs and efficient data sync. |

Troubleshooting:
- Cannot connect to the database? Ensure that ports
4000,4001,4002, and4003are not blocked by a firewall or used by other services. - Failed to start? Check the container logs with
docker logs greptimefor further details.
