Full Changelog: v1.3.0...v1.4.0

Filters

Major features

• Introduce Filter interface #19. It acts similar to Reducer, but it is about limiting chain entries.
  • Has Filter(*Entry) *Entry method to check is entry meets filter condition
  • Implements Reducer interface too, to be used in chains
• Datetime filter #19. Its based on this PR #11 by @pshevtsov
• Introduce StringParser #24 by @pshevtsov

Minor features

• Run test for go version up to 1.5
• Linting fixes #13, #14 (thanks to @pshevtsov)
• More examples, espetially for reducers #17
• Use goconvey for tests

Bugfixes

• Fixed Reader examples #21
• Long lines reading #23 by @pshevtsov
• Fix nginx conf parsing, deal with commented lines #25 by @jack1582

Hall of Glory

Special thanks to @pshevtsov for doing so much!

Parsing fix

• Parsing last value without quotes was fixed, #9
• Tested for Go v1.3

Bug fixes

• Fix issue #6 which causes parser to crash if some value in a log line was empty
• Fix TestGroupByReducer #4, it was random crashing, because we could not expect the order of entries readed from an output channel

Aggregation reducers

Whats new

• The aggregation reducers such as Avg, Sum and Count was introduces along with Chain and GroupBy reducers.
• Entry got some new mthods
  • Getters Field(name string), FloatField(name string)
  • Setters SetField(name string, value string), SetFloatField(name string, value float64), SetUintField(name string, uint64)
  • Utility methods Merge(entry *Entry), FieldsHash(fields []string), Partial(fields []string)

Backward incompatibilities

• All functions deals with *Entry instead of Entry
• MapReduce returns chan *Entry instead of chan interface{} and all reducers accept output channel as chan *Entry
• Entry is a struct, not a map[string]string anymore and has two constructors NewEntry that accepts Fields and NewEmptyEntry
• Entry.Get was renamed to Entry.Field

MapReduce

Implement function MapReduce to parse log file in asynchronous manner for speed improvement. Reader.Read and constructors signatures and behaviour still the same.

First stable release

Log reader type Reader with the following constructors

• func NewReader(logFile io.Reader, format string) *Reader
• func NewNginxReader(logFile io.Reader, nginxConf io.Reader, formatName string) (reader *Reader, err error)

And one interface method

• func (r *Reader) Read() (record Entry, err error)
