Enable the following pragmas: synchronous=NORMAL, journal_mode=WAL.
This offers a significant speedup to INSERT times compared to
synchronous=FULL, and is roughly the same as synchronous=OFF
but should be a bit safer.
Things are now block-focused, rather than line-focused. This should
give a pretty big speedup to inserting client data, especially when
inserting preformatted data.
The server buffers the string and passes it to nilmdb. Nilmdb passes
the string to bulkdata. Bulkdata uses the rocket interface to parse
it in chunks, as necessary. Everything gets passed back up and
everyone is happy.
Currently, only pyrocket implements append_string.
Use a new helper, nilmdb.utils.time.float_to_time_string().
This will help if we ever want to change representation (like using
uint64 microseconds since epoch, which saves us from having to
waste bits on the floating-point exponent)
This is mostly a matter of taste, but it matches more closely with the
old way that prep did it, and it's more consistent. It should roughly
match the available precision of floats and doubles.
This is a pretty big change that will render existing clients unable
to modify the database, but it's important that we use POST or PUT
instead of GET for anything that may change state, in case this
is ever put behind a cache.
These functions can now take an object or a type (class).
If given an object, they will wrap subsequent calls to that object.
If given a type, they will return an object that can be instantiated
to create a new object, and all calls including __init__ will be
covered by the serialization or thread verification.
Occasional segfaults may be the result of performing thread-unsafe
operations. This class decorator verifies that all of its methods
are called in a thread-safe manner.
It can separately warn about:
- two threads calling methods in a function (the kind of thing sqlite
doesn't like)
- recursion
- concurrency (two different threads functions at the same time)
This decorator makes a class always be serialized, including its
instantiation, in a separate thread. This is an improvement over
the old Serializer() object wrapper, which didn't put the
instantiation into the new thread.
Previously, we could get empty intervals anyway by having a non-empty
interval and removing a smaller interval around each piece of data.
Turns out that empty intervals are OK and needed in some situations,
so explicitly allow and test for it.
