discord9 b20e22b426 refactor(series): unify raw and evaluated SeriesFrame codec
SeriesFrame is the internal transport of the Narthex native PromQL path, and
it could only carry raw samples: an evaluated result had to fall back to a
plain row table. This makes one self-describing Arrow format carry both, so a
receiver decodes a frame from the frame alone, without the scanner, region, or
planning context its producer had.

What is unified is the physical representation and its codec, not the runtime
data structures. RawSeriesChunk, Series, and EvaluatedChunk stay as they are;
only the adapter boundaries branch on the sample shape.

Three combinations are legal and every other one is refused in both
directions:

  raw + key + timestamps          a storage raw-series scan
  raw + explicit + timestamps     a raw input whose labels are decoded
  evaluated + explicit + grid_spans   a compute node's output

An evaluated frame cannot claim a storage key, because the computation may
rewrite its labels; raw samples have no grid to be addressed on. The schema
builder and the declaration parser both enforce that, so a frame cannot be
written or read in a shape no producer could mean.

An evaluated frame declares its GridSpec once in schema metadata and carries
absolute grid positions per row as spans, so a sparse grid costs its runs and
not its holes: nothing is expanded, and no position a chunk does not hold is
filled in. A chunk with no position is legal exactly when it closes its chain,
and it is kept as one frame row, because dropping it would drop the finality
it exists to carry.

Layout is v2 and the writer and reader of the reserved greptime.series.*
metadata live in one place each, so a producer and a consumer cannot spell one
frame two ways. The unreleased v1 format is not read: the in-tree producers,
consumers, tests, and the two frozen wire fixtures all move to v2 together.

Sqlness Test

Sqlness manual

Case file

Sqlness has two types of file:

  • .sql: test input, SQL only
  • .result: expected test output, SQL and its results

.result is the output (execution result) file. If you see .result files is changed, it means this test gets a different result and indicates it fails. You should check change logs to solve the problem.

You only need to write test SQL in .sql file, and run the test.

Case organization

The root dir of input cases is tests/cases. It contains several subdirectories stand for different test modes. E.g., standalone/ contains all the tests to run under greptimedb standalone start mode.

Under the first level of subdirectory (e.g. the cases/standalone), you can organize your cases as you like. Sqlness walks through every file recursively and runs them.

Kafka WAL

Sqlness supports Kafka WAL. You can either provide a Kafka cluster or let sqlness to start one for you.

To run test with kafka, you need to pass the option -w kafka. If no other options are provided, sqlness will use conf/kafka-cluster.yml to start a Kafka cluster. This requires docker and docker-compose commands in your environment.

Otherwise, you can additionally pass the your existing kafka environment to sqlness with -k option. E.g.:

cargo sqlness bare -w kafka -k localhost:9092

In this case, sqlness will not start its own kafka cluster and the one you provided instead.

Run the test

Unlike other tests, this harness is in a binary target form. You can run it with:

cargo sqlness bare

It automatically finishes the following procedures: compile GreptimeDB, start it, grab tests and feed it to the server, then collect and compare the results. You only need to check if the .result files are changed. If not, congratulations, the test is passed 🥳!
