CRUD Measures

CRUD operations create, read, update and delete measures.

bydbctl is the command line tool in examples.

Create operation

Create operation adds a new measure to the database’s metadata registry repository. If the measure does not currently exist, create operation will create the schema.

Examples of creating

A measure belongs to a unique group. We should create such a group with a catalog CATALOG_MEASURE before creating a measure.

$ bydbctl group create -f - <<EOF
metadata:
  name: sw_metric
catalog: CATALOG_MEASURE
resource_opts:
  shard_num: 2
  block_interval:
    unit: UNIT_HOUR
    num: 2
  segment_interval:
    unit: UNIT_DAY
    num: 1
  ttl:
    unit: UNIT_DAY
    num: 7
EOF

The group creates two shards to store data points. Every day, it would create a segment that will generate a block every 2 hours.

The data in this group will keep 7 days.

Then, the below command will create a new measure:

$ bydbctl measure create -f - <<EOF
metadata:
  name: service_cpm_minute
  group: sw_metric
tag_families:
- name: default
  tags:
  - name: id
    type: TAG_TYPE_ID
  - name: entity_id
    type: TAG_TYPE_STRING
fields:
- name: total
  field_type: FIELD_TYPE_INT
  encoding_method: ENCODING_METHOD_GORILLA
  compression_method: COMPRESSION_METHOD_ZSTD
- name: value
  field_type: FIELD_TYPE_INT
  encoding_method: ENCODING_METHOD_GORILLA
  compression_method: COMPRESSION_METHOD_ZSTD
entity:
  tag_names:
  - entity_id
interval: 1m
EOF

service_cpm_minute expects to ingest a series of data points with a minute interval.

Get operation

Get(Read) operation gets a measure’s schema.

Examples of getting

$ bydbctl get -g sw_metric -n service_cpm_minute

Update operation

Update operation changes a measure’s schema.

Examples of updating

$ bydbctl measure create -f - <<EOF
metadata:
  name: service_cpm_minute
  group: sw_metric
tagFamilies:
  - name: searchable
    tags: 
      - name: trace_id
        type: TAG_TYPE_STRING
EOF

Delete operation

Delete operation removes a measure’s schema.

Examples of deleting

$ bydbctl delete -g sw_metric -n service_cpm_minute

List operation

The list operation shows all measures' schema in a group.

Examples of listing

$ bydbctl measure list -g sw_metric
