## What changed?
<!-- Describe what has changed in this PR -->
I created new structs that embed `metricDefinition` (e.g.
`histogramDefinition`), and I added a `With(Handler)` method to each of
them. I also added an example that migrates the usage of `Handler` to
this new approach, for one of each type of metric definition.
If this lands, I will also create an issue with the "good first issue"
tag to migrate all usage to the new approach. There's no need to do it
right away, though.
## Why?
<!-- Tell your future self why have you made these changes -->
Previously, usage of our `metrics.Handler` could be both redundant and
unsafe:
```
handler.Histogram( myHisto.Name(), myHisto.Unit() ).Record(...)
│ │ └───┐
│ │ │
└─────┐ └───────────┐ │
│ │ │
Redundant and Unsafe: 'Histogram' │ │
is specified despite knowing │ │
'myHisto' is a histogram. There's │ │
also a risk if 'myHisto.Name()' │ │
refers to a metric definition that │ │
is not a histogram. │ │
└─── Redundant information
```
If you use the new `With(Handler)` method, there's no need to specify
redundant information.
## How did you test it?
<!-- How have you verified this change? Tested locally? Added a unit
test? Checked in staging env? -->
I added an `ExampleHandler` which tests all the new methods and also
serves as documentation on how to use the `Handler`, to encourage people
to use the new approach.
## Potential risks
<!-- Assuming the worst case, what can be broken when deploying this
change to production? -->
People can still use the old approach after this PR lands because we are
keeping the `Handler` interface as-is. However, we need to do that
because we can't break existing users / implementors.
## Is hotfix candidate?
<!-- Is this PR a hotfix candidate or does it require a notification to
be sent to the broader community? (Yes/No) -->
No.
Google Storage blobstore
Configuration
See https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication#service-accounts to understand how is made the authentication against google cloud storage
Nowdays we support three different ways in order to let Temporal know where your google keyfile credentials are located
- Temporal archival deployment.yaml configuration file
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALSenvironment variable- Google default credentials location
If more than one credentials location is given, then Temporal will resolve the conflicts by the following priority:
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS > Temporal archival deployment.yaml > Google default credentials
Be sure that you have created your bucket first, and have enought rights in order to read/write over your bucket.
Gcloud Archival example
Enabling archival is done by using the configuration below. credentialsPath is required but could be empty "" in order to allow a Google default credentials.
archival:
history:
state: "enabled"
enableRead: true
provider:
gstorage:
credentialsPath: "/tmp/keyfile.json"
visibility:
state: "enabled"
enableRead: true
provider:
gstorage:
credentialsPath: "/tmp/keyfile.json"
namespaceDefaults:
archival:
history:
state: "enabled"
URI: "gs://my-bucket-cad/temporal_archival/development"
visibility:
state: "enabled"
URI: "gs://my-bucket-cad/temporal_archival/visibility"
Visibility query syntax
You can query the visibility store by using the tctl workflow listarchived command
The syntax for the query is based on SQL
Supported column names are
- WorkflowType String
- WorkflowID String
- StartTime Date
- CloseTime Date
- SearchPrecision String - Day, Hour, Minute, Second
One of these fields are required, StartTime or CloseTime and they are mutually exclusive and also SearchPrecision.
Searching for a record will be done in times in the UTC timezone
SearchPrecision specifies what range you want to search for records. If you use SearchPrecision = 'Day'
it will search all records starting from 2020-01-21T00:00:00Z to 2020-01-21T59:59:59Z
Limitations
- The only operator supported is
= - Currently It's not possible to guarantee the resulSet order, specially if the pageSize it's fullfilled.
Example
Searches the first 20 records for a given day 2020-01-21
./tctl --ns samples-namespace workflow listarchived -ps="20" -q "StartTime = '2020-01-21T00:00:00Z' AND SearchPrecision='Day'"
Archival query syntax
Once you have a workflowId and a runId you can retrieve your workflow history.
example:
./tctl --ns samples-namespace workflow show -w workflow-id -r runId
