Quick Start

Basic Search

import "github.com/0xJacky/Nginx-UI/internal/nginx_log/searcher"

// Create searcher with default configuration
searcher := searcher.NewDistributedSearcher(nil, shardManager)

// Simple text search
query := &searcher.SearchQuery{
    Query:     "GET /api",
    StartTime: time.Now().Add(-24 * time.Hour).Unix(),
    EndTime:   time.Now().Unix(),
    Limit:     100,
}

results, err := searcher.Search(context.Background(), query)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

fmt.Printf("Found %d results in %v\n", results.Total, results.Duration)
for _, hit := range results.Hits {
    entry := hit.Fields
    fmt.Printf("%s %s %s %d\n", entry.IP, entry.Method, entry.Path, entry.Status)
}

Advanced Query Building

// Create complex query with multiple conditions
queryBuilder := searcher.NewQueryBuilder()

// Add text search
queryBuilder.AddTextQuery("path", "/api/users")

// Add range filters
queryBuilder.AddRangeQuery("status", 200, 299)           // Success status codes
queryBuilder.AddRangeQuery("timestamp", startTime, endTime) // Time range
queryBuilder.AddRangeQuery("request_time", 0, 1.0)      // Fast requests only

// Add term filters
queryBuilder.AddTermQuery("method", "GET")
queryBuilder.AddTermQuery("region_code", "US")

// Add IP range filter
queryBuilder.AddIPRangeQuery("ip", "192.168.1.0/24")

// Build final query
query := queryBuilder.Build()
query.Limit = 1000
query.SortBy = []searcher.SortField{
    {Field: "timestamp", Descending: true},
    {Field: "request_time", Descending: true},
}

results, err := searcher.Search(context.Background(), query)

Faceted Search

// Search with faceted aggregations
query := &searcher.SearchQuery{
    Query:     "*",  // Match all
    StartTime: time.Now().Add(-24 * time.Hour).Unix(),
    EndTime:   time.Now().Unix(),
    Facets: []searcher.FacetRequest{
        {
            Name:  "status_codes",
            Field: "status",
            Size:  10,
        },
        {
            Name:  "top_ips",
            Field: "ip",
            Size:  20,
        },
        {
            Name:  "browsers",
            Field: "browser",
            Size:  15,
        },
        {
            Name:  "countries",
            Field: "region_code",
            Size:  50,
        },
    },
}

results, err := searcher.Search(context.Background(), query)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

// Process facet results
for facetName, facet := range results.Facets {
    fmt.Printf("\n%s:\n", facetName)
    for _, bucket := range facet.Buckets {
        fmt.Printf("  %s: %d (%.2f%%)\n", 
            bucket.Key, bucket.Count, 
            float64(bucket.Count)/float64(results.Total)*100)
    }
}

Default Configuration

func DefaultSearcherConfig() *SearcherConfig {
    return &SearcherConfig{
        EnableCache:           true,
        CacheSize:            10000,

}

Core Components

1. Distributed Searcher

The main search engine with multi-shard support:

// Create with custom configuration
config := &SearcherConfig{
    MaxConcurrentSearches: 200,    // Higher concurrency
    SearchTimeout:        60 * time.Second, // Longer timeout
    CacheSize:           50000,    // Larger cache
}

searcher := NewDistributedSearcher(config, shardManager)

// Execute search across all shards
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 30*time.Second)
defer cancel()

results, err := searcher.Search(ctx, query)
if err != nil {
    log.Printf("Search failed: %v", err)
} else {
    fmt.Printf("Search completed: %d results from %d shards in %v\n",
        results.Total, len(results.ShardResults), results.Duration)
}

2. Query Builder

Advanced query construction with multiple conditions:

// Create query builder
qb := NewQueryBuilder()

// Text search with wildcards
qb.AddWildcardQuery("path", "/api/users/*")
qb.AddPrefixQuery("user_agent", "Mozilla/5.0")

// Numeric ranges
qb.AddRangeQuery("status", 400, 599)      // Error status codes
qb.AddRangeQuery("bytes_sent", 1024, nil) // Large responses (>1KB)

// Boolean combinations
qb.AddMustQuery(func(sub *QueryBuilder) {
    sub.AddTermQuery("method", "POST")
    sub.AddTermQuery("region_code", "US")
})

qb.AddShouldQuery(func(sub *QueryBuilder) {
    sub.AddTermQuery("browser", "Chrome")
    sub.AddTermQuery("browser", "Firefox")
})

qb.AddMustNotQuery(func(sub *QueryBuilder) {
    sub.AddTermQuery("ip", "127.0.0.1")
    sub.AddPrefixQuery("path", "/health")
})

// Build and execute
query := qb.Build()
query.Limit = 500
query.Offset = 0

results, err := searcher.Search(context.Background(), query)

3. Faceted Search

Real-time aggregations for analytics:

// Define complex facet configuration
query := &SearchQuery{
    Query:     "status:[400 TO 599]", // Error requests only
    StartTime: time.Now().Add(-1 * time.Hour).Unix(),
    EndTime:   time.Now().Unix(),
    
    Facets: []FacetRequest{
        // Error distribution by status code
        {
            Name:  "error_codes",
            Field: "status",
            Size:  20,
        },
        
        // Geographic distribution of errors
        {
            Name:  "error_regions",
            Field: "region_code",
            Size:  50,
        },
        
        // Top error-generating IPs
        {
            Name:  "error_ips",
            Field: "ip",
            Size:  100,
        },
        
        // Error distribution over time (hourly buckets)
        {
            Name:     "error_timeline",
            Field:    "timestamp",
            Size:     24,
            Interval: 3600, // 1 hour intervals
        },
        
        // Most problematic endpoints
        {
            Name:  "error_paths",
            Field: "path_exact",
            Size:  50,
        },
    },
}

results, err := searcher.Search(context.Background(), query)

// Process time-series facet
if timeline, exists := results.Facets["error_timeline"]; exists {
    fmt.Println("Error timeline (last 24 hours):")
    for _, bucket := range timeline.Buckets {
        timestamp := time.Unix(int64(bucket.KeyAsNumber), 0)
        fmt.Printf("  %s: %d errors\n", 
            timestamp.Format("2006-01-02 15:04"), bucket.Count)
    }
}

// Analyze top error sources
if errorIPs, exists := results.Facets["error_ips"]; exists {
    fmt.Println("\nTop error-generating IPs:")
    for i, bucket := range errorIPs.Buckets {
        if i >= 10 { break } // Top 10
        percentage := float64(bucket.Count) / float64(results.Total) * 100
        fmt.Printf("  %s: %d errors (%.2f%%)\n", 
            bucket.Key, bucket.Count, percentage)
    }
}

4. Optimized Caching

Multi-level caching system for improved performance:

// Cache configuration
config := &SearcherConfig{
    EnableCache:      true,
    CacheSize:       20000,
    CacheTTL:        10 * time.Minute,
    EnableFacetCache: true,
}

searcher := NewDistributedSearcher(config, shardManager)

// First search - cache miss
start := time.Now()
results1, _ := searcher.Search(context.Background(), query)
duration1 := time.Since(start)

// Second search - cache hit
start = time.Now()
results2, _ := searcher.Search(context.Background(), query)
duration2 := time.Since(start)

fmt.Printf("First search: %v\n", duration1)   // e.g., 250ms
fmt.Printf("Second search: %v\n", duration2)  // e.g., 2ms
fmt.Printf("Speedup: %.1fx\n", float64(duration1)/float64(duration2))

// Cache statistics
stats := searcher.GetCacheStats()
fmt.Printf("Cache hit rate: %.2f%%\n", stats.HitRate*100)
fmt.Printf("Cache size: %d/%d entries\n", stats.Size, stats.Capacity)

5. Performance Optimization

Memory management and query optimization:

// Enable performance monitoring
searcher := NewDistributedSearcher(&SearcherConfig{
    QueryAnalysisEnabled: true,
    MemoryLimit:         1024 * 1024 * 1024, // 1GB
    GCInterval:          2 * time.Minute,
}, shardManager)

// Monitor performance
perfStats := searcher.GetPerformanceStats()
fmt.Printf("Search performance:\n")
fmt.Printf("  Average latency: %v\n", perfStats.AverageLatency)
fmt.Printf("  Queries per second: %.2f\n", perfStats.QPS)
fmt.Printf("  Memory usage: %.2f MB\n", 
    float64(perfStats.MemoryUsage)/(1024*1024))

// Query optimization
optimizedQuery := searcher.OptimizeQuery(query)
fmt.Printf("Original query complexity: %d\n", query.Complexity())
fmt.Printf("Optimized query complexity: %d\n", optimizedQuery.Complexity())

// Memory cleanup
if perfStats.MemoryUsage > config.MemoryLimit*0.8 {
    searcher.TriggerGC()
}

Performance Tuning Guidelines

1. Concurrency Configuration

   // High-throughput environments
   config.MaxConcurrentSearches = runtime.NumCPU() * 50
   
   // Memory-constrained environments
   config.MaxConcurrentSearches = runtime.NumCPU() * 10
   
   // Latency-sensitive applications
   config.MaxConcurrentSearches = runtime.NumCPU() * 20
   

2. Cache Optimization

   // High cache hit rate scenarios
   config.CacheSize = 50000
   config.CacheTTL = 15 * time.Minute
   
   // Memory-limited environments
   config.CacheSize = 5000
   config.CacheTTL = 2 * time.Minute
   
   // Real-time analytics
   config.CacheSize = 20000
   config.CacheTTL = 30 * time.Second
   

3. Search Timeout Tuning

   // Real-time dashboards
   config.SearchTimeout = 5 * time.Second
   
   // Batch analytics
   config.SearchTimeout = 60 * time.Second
   
   // Interactive exploration
   config.SearchTimeout = 15 * time.Second

Error Handling

Error Types

var (
    ErrSearchTimeout        = "search operation timed out"
    ErrTooManyResults      = "result set too large"
    ErrInvalidQuery        = "invalid search query"
    ErrShardUnavailable    = "one or more shards unavailable"
    ErrCacheError          = "cache operation failed"
    ErrInvalidFacet        = "invalid facet configuration"
    ErrMemoryLimit         = "memory limit exceeded"
    ErrConcurrencyLimit    = "concurrent search limit exceeded"
)

Error Recovery Strategies

// Retry with backoff for temporary failures
func searchWithRetry(searcher *DistributedSearcher, query *SearchQuery, maxRetries int) (*SearchResult, error) {
    for attempt := 0; attempt < maxRetries; attempt++ {
        ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 30*time.Second)
        result, err := searcher.Search(ctx, query)
        cancel()
        
        if err == nil {
            return result, nil
        }
        
        // Check if error is retryable
        if isRetryableSearchError(err) {
            backoff := time.Duration(attempt+1) * time.Second
            log.Printf("Search attempt %d failed: %v, retrying in %v", 
                attempt+1, err, backoff)
            time.Sleep(backoff)
            continue
        }
        
        // Non-retryable error
        return nil, fmt.Errorf("search failed: %w", err)
    }
    
    return nil, fmt.Errorf("max search retries (%d) exceeded", maxRetries)
}

func isRetryableSearchError(err error) bool {
    errStr := err.Error()
    return strings.Contains(errStr, "timeout") ||
           strings.Contains(errStr, "temporary") ||
           strings.Contains(errStr, "unavailable")
}

Graceful Degradation

// Fallback to simplified search if complex query fails
func searchWithFallback(searcher *DistributedSearcher, query *SearchQuery) (*SearchResult, error) {
    // Try original query first
    result, err := searcher.Search(context.Background(), query)
    if err == nil {
        return result, nil
    }
    
    log.Printf("Complex search failed: %v, trying simplified query", err)
    
    // Create simplified fallback query
    fallbackQuery := &SearchQuery{
        Query:     query.Query,
        StartTime: query.StartTime,
        EndTime:   query.EndTime,
        Limit:     min(query.Limit, 1000), // Reduce limit
        // Remove complex facets and sorts
    }
    
    result, err = searcher.Search(context.Background(), fallbackQuery)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, fmt.Errorf("both original and fallback searches failed: %w", err)
    }
    
    // Mark result as degraded
    result.Degraded = true
    result.DegradationReason = "Simplified due to original query failure"
    
    return result, nil
}
