It should be moved to i_partitioner.hh, but to do that range<> has to
be first moved out of query-request.hh to break cyclic dependency.
I didn't want to cause conflicts with in-flight patches to range<>.
Mutation query differs from data query in that returns information
needed to reconcile data slice with that retruned by other data
sources.
There is a generic mutation_query() algorithm introduced, which can
work with any mutation_source.
database::query_mutations() is a shard-local interface for mutation
queries.
The reconcilable_result is introduced as a medium for mutation query
results. It piggy backs on frozen_mutation as a medium for
reconcilable data.
This change abstracts reading from on-disk data sources behind a single
reader which is then composed with memtable readers. This change also
abstracts all data sources behind a single reader obtained via
column_family::make_reader(). That reader is then used by algorithms
like column_family::for_all_partitions() or
column_family::query(). Having those abstractions will make it easier
to add row cache, because it will be encapsulated in a single place.
Current model was not really correct because Origin doesn't support
querying of partition ranges by their value. We can query slices
according to dht::decorated_key ordering, which orders partitions
first by token then by key value.
ring_position encapsulates range constraint. Key value is optional, in
which case only token is constrained.
partitions_ranges will be manipulated upon to be split for different
destination, so provide it separately from read_command to not copy the
later for each destination.
This gives about 30% increase in tps in:

This patch switches query result format from a structured one to a
serialized one. The problems with structured format are:
- high level of indirection (vector of vectors of vectors of blobs), which
is not CPU cache friendly
- high allocation rate due to fine-grained object structure
On replica side, the query results are probably going to be serialized
in the transport layer anyway, so this change only subtracts
work. There is no processing of the query results on replica other
than concatenation in case of range queries. If query results are
collected in serialized form from different cores, we can concatenate
them without copying by simply appending the fragments into the
packet. This optimization is not implemented yet.
On coordinator side, the query results would have to be parsed from
the transport layer buffers anyway, so this also doesn't add work, but
again saves allocations and copying. The CQL server doesn't need
complex data structures to process the results, it just goes over it
linearly consuming it. This patch provides views, iterators and
visitors for consuming query results in serialized form. Currently the
iterators assume that the buffer is contiguous but we could easily
relax this in future so that we can avoid linearization of data
received from seastar sockets.
The coordinator side could be optimized even further for CQL queries
which do not need processing (eg. select * from cf where ...) we
could make the replica send the query results in the format which is
expected by the CQL binary protocol client. So in the typical case the
coordinator would just pass the data using zero-copy to the client,
prepending a header.
We do need structure for prefetched rows (needed by list
manipulations), and this change adds query result post-processing
which converts serialized query result into a structured one, tailored
particularly for prefetched rows needs.
This change also introduces partition_slice options. In some queries
(maybe even in typical ones), we don't need to send partition or
clustering keys back to the client, because they are already specified
in the query request, and not queried for. The query results hold now
keys as optional elements. Also, meta-data like cell timestamp and
ttl is now also optional. It is only needed if the query has
writetime() or ttl() functions in it, which it typically won't have.
