An extract/count()/group_by query returns synthetic rows with no report
hash, which reportKey fell back to keying by verbatim raw bytes. Two
backends emitting a byte-identical aggregate row (e.g.
{"status":"changed","count":1}) therefore collapsed into one, silently
undercounting the merged result and contradicting the documented
guarantee that no backend's rows are dropped.
Give the mergeUnion key func an ok return: false means the record has no
dedupe identity and is always kept. reportKey returns ok=false for
hash-less rows; hash-keyed report dedupe and event verbatim-identity
dedupe are unchanged.
Add TestMergeUnion_IdenticalHashlessRowsAreNotCollapsed covering the
collision case, and reword the README line to say aggregate rows pass
through even when byte-identical.
Reports are immutable history, so a node that migrated has reports in the
old PuppetDB and the new one; serve the union rather than picking a single
owning backend as /facts does.
Re-apply order_by/limit/offset over the merged set and sum X-Records, since
each backend only orders and pages its own slice.
Split out from node-lookup PR #17 into its own repo. pdbmux presents a
single merged PuppetDB v4 query surface over the old (Consul) and new
(k8s) PuppetDBs during the VM to k8s migration, and is deployed in-cluster
via argocd-apps as a container image.
