This change adds support for complex indexes for sets and tables. With
this change, sets with indexes like:
set[string, count, count]
will function. Before this change, Zeek raised an error message in these
cases.
Addresses GH-1033
- Use `-b` most everywhere, it will save time.
- Start some intel tests upon the input file being fully read instead of
at an arbitrary time.
- Improve termination condition for some sumstats/cluster tests.
- Filter uninteresting output from some supervisor tests.
- Test for `notice_policy.log` is no longer needed.
Particularly, the final output order of a table/set is sensitive to
order of input/insertions and some tests were converting
std::unordered_{set,map} to Zeek table/set and iteration over those
standard containers may not always loop through elements in the same
order across all platforms.
Haven't checked different build configurations yet, but all except
a few SumStats tests are stable for me now. The external tests
are also completely failing, but haven't looked at those yet.
This addresses PR feedback. The main component in this commit is to
disable &on_change notifications when &backend loads a table from sqlite
on startup.
This commit adds script/c++ documentation and fixes a few loose ends.
It also adds tests for corner cases and massively improves error
messages.
This also actually introduces type-compatibility checking and introduces
a new attribute that lets a user override this if they really know what
they are doing. I am not quite sure if we should really let that stay in
- but it can be very convenient to have this functionality.
One test is continuing to fail - the expiry test is very flaky. This is,
I think, caused by delays of the broker store forwarding. I am unsure if
we can actually do anything about that.
With this, the basic functionality of &backend seems to be working.
It is not yet integrated with zeekctl, one has to manually specify the
storage location for the sqlite files somewhere when using sqlite.
Usage for memory stores:
global table_to_share: table[string] of count &backend=Broker::MEMORY;
Usage for sqlite stores:
redef Broker::auto_store_db_directory = "[path]";
global table_to_share: table[string] of count &backend=Broker::SQLITE;
In both cases, the cluster should automatically sync to changes done by
any node. When using sqlite, data should also be saved to disk and
re-loaded on startup.
