Epoch millis and second formats accept float implicitly #26119

albertzaharovits · 2017-08-09T15:17:51Z

All floats parsed by epoch_millis/second date formatter get truncated, either as strings or as numbers - coerce behavior. This builds on the existing behavior of parsing all dates to strings.
In this way there is no 'coerce parameter' for the DateFieldMapper. 'Coerce parameter' remains valid only for numeric data types.
The coerce behavior is implicitly enabled for a specific Formatter only, i.e. epoch_*.
A coerce parameter at the DateFieldMapper level cannot be defined irrespective of the date format because of conflicts, e.g. basic_time and epoch_second as float.

Closes: #14641

The coerce parameter is implicity true for the epoch millis DateFormater. It is not defined for other date formaters. This extends the current "coerce" from numbers to strings for all dates. See: elastic#14641

@cbuescher I think from/to as double from org.elasticsearch.search.aggregations.bucket.range.RangeAggregator can be removed, since all dates can now be parsed as strings, plus this avoids the conversion from double to long. What do you think?

@albertzaharovits I left a small comment

Since dates previous to epoch 0 can still be expressed as a long and may well be encountered if the user is indexing historical data should we test negative epoch values here too?

@albertzaharovits this looks great, I left a couple of smaller comments but nothing big.

Some more things:

since the original issue revolves around documents not being indexed when they have float values, should we add an integration test for this? DateFieldMapperTests already more or less checks that, but I think it would be good to have one round-trip test here as well
Not sure if we also want to parse floats with , as decimal separator, but maybe thats overkill. Any opinions on this @colings86
As I understand this change now makes "coerce" : false not reject any Strings any more for epoch_millis and epoch_seconds. I just want to double check that this is okay, maybe we can document this somewhere?

core/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/common/joda/Joda.java

        public int parseInto(DateTimeParserBucket bucket, String text, int position) {
            boolean isPositive = text.startsWith("-") == false;
-            boolean isTooLong = text.length() > estimateParsedLength();
+            int firstDotIndex = text.indexOf((int)'.');


nit: I think we don't need the int cast here, it is done implicitely. At least my IDE removes it on "save"

core/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/common/joda/Joda.java

            int factor = hasMilliSecondPrecision ? 1 : 1000;
            try {
-                long millis = Long.valueOf(text) * factor;
+                long millis = new BigDecimal(text).longValue() * factor;


Nice, so this can handle all kinds of formats it seems.

+        // test floats get truncated
+        String epochFloatValue = String.format(Locale.US, "%d.%d", dateTime.getMillis() / (parseMilliSeconds ? 1L : 1000L), randomNonNegativeLong());
+        assertThat(formatter.parser().parseDateTime(epochFloatValue).getMillis(), is(dateTime.getMillis()));


I'm not sure if we also should support european decimal separators like ,? Maybe not, but just wanted to throw it in. I'm not sure if this complicates things too much.

I think we should accept numbers as defined by javascript/JSON schema, and not formatted string representation of numbers. The issue is that we didn't accept the numbers from javascript which does not have an integer datatype. Accepting string representation of valid javascript numbers is the bonus part since all dates are parsed as strings anyway.

        }

+        // test floats get truncated
+        String epochFloatValue = String.format(Locale.US, "%d.%d", dateTime.getMillis() / (parseMilliSeconds ? 1L : 1000L), randomNonNegativeLong());


Should this be a negative long in this test?

It is negative since dateTime.getMillis() is negative, the non negative long is for the fractional part.

I get it now, thanks.

core/src/test/java/org/elasticsearch/index/mapper/DateFieldMapperTests.java

+        assertEquals(mapping, mapper.mappingSource().toString());
+
+        long millisFromEpoch = randomNonNegativeLong();
+        String epochFloatValue = String.format(Locale.US, "%d.%d", millisFromEpoch, randomNonNegativeLong());


Maybe also randomly append a negative prefix to also test parsing negative values here?

core/src/test/java/org/elasticsearch/index/mapper/RangeFieldMapperTests.java


+        // date_range ignores the coerce parameter and epoch_millis date format truncates floats (see issue: #14641)
+        if (type.equals("date_range")) {
+            return;


nit: maybe just personal preference, but early returns in test look strange to me. Can you change this to execute the rest of the test only for type.equals("date_range") == false)

cbuescher · 2017-08-10T10:13:19Z

core/src/test/java/org/elasticsearch/search/aggregations/bucket/DateRangeIT.java

+        assertThat(searchResponse.getHits().getTotalHits(), equalTo(3L));
+        buckets = checkBuckets(searchResponse.getAggregations().get("date_range"), "date_range", 2);
+        assertBucket(buckets.get(0), 2L, "1000-3000", 1000000L, 3000000L);
+        assertBucket(buckets.get(1), 1L, "3000-4000", 3000000L, 4000000L);


Great this works

cbuescher · 2017-08-10T13:56:49Z

@albertzaharovits thanks, those recent changes look good to me. That leaves the question about whether we should document the changed behaviour around "coerce" : false. Maybe @colings86 also wants to take another look at this?

albertzaharovits · 2017-08-10T14:18:17Z

@cbuescher I am not sure what you mean by:

"coerce" : false not reject any Strings any more for epoch_millis and epoch_seconds

coerce parameter is invalid for date field type and is ignored in aggregations.
Any String that is a valid number is acceptable, other strings are considered malformed.

cbuescher · 2017-08-10T14:30:20Z

coerce parameter is invalid for date field type and is ignored in aggregations

Thanks, thats what I was missing. So the existing behaviour is that coerce doesn't work with the date datatype? I wasn't really sure from reading the coerce docs.

albertzaharovits · 2017-08-10T15:08:40Z

That's correct, coerce does not work with date and this is not changing.

cbuescher

Thanks, LGTM. I think CI might be still failing because of unrelated problems, had the same yesterday. Maybe rebasing or merging in master helps to get a clean build. Also I don't know if you want to wait for @colings86 to have another look, I'm good.
Thanks a lot for this change.
