The Year 1925 is a starting point because most of the timezones
switched to saner (mostly 15-minutes based) offsets somewhere
during 1924 or before. And that significantly simplifies implementation.
2238 is to simplify arithmetics for sanitizing LUT index access;
there are less than 0x1ffff days from 1925.
* Extended DateLUTImpl internal LUT to 0x1ffff items, some of which
represent negative (pre-1970) time values.
As a collateral benefit, Date now correctly supports dates up to 2149
(instead of 2106).
* Added a new strong typedef ExtendedDayNum, which represents dates
pre-1970 and post 2149.
* Functions that used to return DayNum now return ExtendedDayNum.
* Refactored DateLUTImpl to untie DayNum from the dual role of being
a value and an index (due to negative time). Index is now a different
type LUTIndex with explicit conversion functions from DatNum, time_t,
and ExtendedDayNum.
* Updated DateLUTImpl to properly support values close to epoch start
(1970-01-01 00:00), including negative ones.
* Reduced resolution of DateLUTImpl::Values::time_at_offset_change
to multiple of 15-minutes to allow storing 64-bits of time_t in
DateLUTImpl::Value while keeping same size.
* Minor performance updates to DateLUTImpl when building month LUT
by skipping non-start-of-month days.
* Fixed extractTimeZoneFromFunctionArguments to work correctly
with DateTime64.
* New unit-tests and stateless integration tests for both DateTime
and DateTime64.
The start was in https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/11026
It turned out that the problem was due to the incorrect mutate()
implementation that lead to quadratic amount of column copying. This
problem has since been fixed.
Remove the excessively verbose logging, and also change appendToBlock of
LogElement's to accept mutable columns instead of accepting a block and
mutating it on each call. It looks wasteful, even though it is almost a
noop.
