Instead of lengthy blurbs, switch to single-line, machine-readable
standardized (https://spdx.dev) license identifiers. The Linux kernel
switched long ago, so there is strong precedent.
Three cases are handled: AGPL-only, Apache-only, and dual licensed.
For the latter case, I chose (AGPL-3.0-or-later and Apache-2.0),
reasoning that our changes are extensive enough to apply our license.
The changes we applied mechanically with a script, except to
licenses/README.md.
Closes#9937
`partition_reversing_data_source` uses `continuous_data_consumer`s
internally (`partition_header_context`, `row_body_skipping_context`)
which hold `input_stream`s opened to sstable data files. These
`input_stream`s must be closed before destruction. Right now they would
sometimes cause "Assertion `_reads_in_progress == 0' failed" on
destruction.
Close the `continuous_data_consumer`s before they are destroyed so they
can close their `input_stream`s.
Fixes#9444.
Closes#9451
This patch adds an implementation of a data source that wraps an sstable
data file and returns data buffers with contents of one partition in the
sstable as if the rows of the partition were present in a reversed
order. In other words, to the user of the source the partition appears
to be reversed. We shall call this an 'intermediary' data source.
As part of the interface of the intermediary source the user is also
given read access to the source's current position over the data file,
and the constructor of the source takes a reference to `index_reader`.
This is necessary because the index operates directly on data file
offsets and we want the user to be able to use the index to skip
sequences of rows.
In order to ask the source to skip a sequence of rows - e.g. when jumping
between clustering ranges - the user must advance the index' upper bound
in reverse (to an earlier position). The source will then notice that
the end position of the index has changed and take appropriate action.
An alternative would be to translate the data positions of
`index_reader` to 'reversed positions' of the intermediary and then use
`skip_to` for skipping, as we do for forward reads. However this
solution would introduce more complexity to `index_reader` and the
intermediary source. One reason for the complexity in the input stream
is that we would have two kinds of skips: a single row skip,
and a skip to a clustering range. We know the offset of the next row,
so we could check that to differentiate them. We would also need to add
an information about the position of first clustering row and end of
the last one in the index_reader. Skipping by checking the index seems
to be overall simpler.
For simplicity, the intermediary stream always starts with
parsing the partition header and (if present) the static row,
and returning the corresponding bytes as a result of the first
read.
After partition header and static row we must find the last row entry of
the requested range. If the range ends before the partition end (i.e.
there are more row entries after the range) we can use the 'previous
unfiltered size' of the row following the range; otherwise we must scan
the last promoted index block and take its last row.
After finding the data range of the last row, we parse rows
consecutively in reversed order. We must parse the rows partially
to learn their lengths and the positions of previous rows. We're
using similar constructs as in the sstable parser, but it only
contains a small part of the parsing coroutine and doesn't perform
any correctness checks. The parser for rows still turned out rather
big mostly because we can't always deduce the size of the clustering
blocks without reading the block header.
The parser allows reading rows while skipping their bodies also in
non-reversed order, which we are making use of while reading the
last promoted index block.
The intermediary data source has one more utility: reversing range
tombstones. When we read a tombstone bound/boundary, we modify
the data buffer so that the resulting bound/boundary has the reversed
kind (so we don't read ends before starts) and the boundaries have their
before/after timestamps swapped.
