Month: 2024-10. Focused on strengthening JSON-based search accuracy in manticoresoftware/manticoresearch. Key feature delivered: corrected JSON Search Index rebuild correctness by properly handling row offsets and sizes, renaming AddRowSize to AddRowOffsetSize, and introducing delta encoding for offsets so that JSON attribute updates reliably propagate to the search index. This was implemented in commit 3be36c93b95425683cd54ab666e3e699e7c2d9fc ("fixed rebuilding JSON SI after updates"). Major bug fixed: incorrect handling during JSON SI rebuild that could lead to stale search results. Overall impact: improved data consistency and search result reliability, reducing user-visible discrepancies after updates to JSON attributes; supports more robust indexing for dynamic JSON data. Technologies/skills demonstrated: careful data structure refactoring, delta encoding, indexing correctness, version-controlled commits, code review hygiene.
