Gateway HistoryRead-AtTime passed AVEVA's own interpolation through: live it
answered the previous value as Good at a stored NULL's own time, null + Bad at
a Good sample right after a NULL, a drifted 99.99999999944 for a stored 100,
and no Interpolated bit. It is now served from raw gateway reads and evaluated
with Sql.Common's AtTimeEvaluator, as the SQL backends do (Part 11 §6.5.4).
GatewayAtTimeReader: one <=1,024-row forward window read [first-1ms, last+1ms]
for the batch, a walk-back (density-seeded, x4 growth, whole-remainder shortcut,
bisects dense history) for the first time's prev, and an 18-row probe for the
last time's next; truncated window reads continue or jump with a density-sized
margin. All bounds whole ms; a row counts only strictly inside its request
(AVEVA's boundary row never a sample); Bad rows value-less (#690); never past
now + 1 day; strict-gateway ceiling learned (#691.3) without re-probing.
10 dense times = 1 read (exact) / 3 (interpolated); 10 hourly = 12.
Kill switch ServerHistorian:GatewayAtTimeFromRaw (default true; false = the
old AVEVA passthrough). Known limit: the wire carries no data type, so numeric
tags interpolate as Double (Boolean/integer nodes are not stepped/rounded as on
the SQL backends).
An AVEVA Full raw read leads with a row stamped at the query start (the value in
effect, Quality=133, or a no-data NULL row); it was returned as a stored sample.
Raw reads now use the #681 classification (RawAggregateReader.RequestStartFor /
IsWindowSample — one authority, by timestamp, since a stored NULL looks the same
on the wire): request from 1 ms early with NumValuesPerNode + 16 rows, keep rows
at or after StartTime, drain the whole stream. A full page still holds exactly
the cap, so #669 paging/resume/tie-cluster reads are unchanged; a margin that
swallows the allowance fails the node rather than ending paging early.
ReturnBounds is not plumbed on any backend (documented).
Average, Count, Minimum, Maximum, Range, Start, End, Delta and Minimum/MaximumActualTime are evaluated
on the Gateway backend from forward ReadRaw reads with BucketPlan + AggregateEvaluator, so Gateway
matches SqlServer/QuestDB exactly (values, status bits, interval-start stamps, #677 reverse).
- Window read [start - 1 ms, end] so AVEVA's initial-value row never lands in a bucket; a pre-window
row proves earlier data only with a non-Bad OPC quality (histsdk puts a value on every NULL row).
- Earlier data otherwise from a 2-row [1970, start) probe; later data from a 2-row [end, now+1d]
look-ahead; both ignore rows stamped at their query start/end.
- No gateway stream is ever abandoned (a client-side cancel makes the gateway evict its shared
historian session); past ServerHistorian:MaxTimeWeightedRawRows the bounded stream is drained, then
BadTooManyOperations. The gateway's max_values-ceiling InvalidArgument maps to the same limit; a
caller cancellation is not a backend fault.
- TimeAverage/Total stay AVEVA-native (no prior-sample read for exact Part 13 bounds), now stamped with
the interval start (PENDING the live leg: histsdk's tail+43 start_time field is unverified) and
carrying the Calculated bits.
- Served set: GatewayHistorianDataSource.ServedAggregates (12). Live AVEVA leg open (VPN).
Addresses T7/T8/T11 code-review minors: route the sync dispose through DisposeAsync
so a double Dispose()+DisposeAsync() stays a no-op; cover the sync path.
