flat_mutation_reader_v2 was introduced in a pair of commits in 2021:
e3309322c3 "Clone flat_mutation_reader related classes into v2 variants"
08b5773c12 "Adapt flat_mutation_reader_v2 to the new version of the API"
as a replacement for flat_mutation_reader, using range_tombstone_change
instead of range_tombstone to represent represent range tombstones. See
those commits for more information.
The transition was incremental; the last use of the original
flat_mutation_reader was removed in 2022 in commit
026f8cc1e7 "db: Use mutation_partition_v2 in mvcc"
In turn, flat_mutation_reader was introduced in 2017 in commit
748205ca75 "Introduce flat_mutation_reader"
To transition from a mutation_reader that nested rows within
a partition in a separate stream, to a flat reader that streamed
partitions and rows in the same stream.
Here, we reclaim the original name and rename the awkward
flat_mutation_reader_v2 to mutation_reader.
Note that mutation_fragment_v2 remains since we still use the original
for compatibilty, sometimes.
Some notes about the transition:
- files were also renamed. In one case (flat_mutation_reader_test.cc), the
rename target already existed, so we rename to
mutation_reader_another_test.cc.
- a namespace 'mutation_reader' with two definitions existed (in
mutation_reader_fwd.hh). Its contents was folded into the mutation_reader
class. As a result, a few #includes had to be adjusted.
