Public Interfaces
In this KIP,
- we propose a public classesclass, MultiVersionedKeyQuery.
- and a public enum ResultOrder
- Moreover, the public interface ValueIteratorVersionedRecordIterator is added to iterate over different values that are returned from a single-key query (each value corresponds to a timestamp).
- In addition, a new method is added to the VersionedKeyValueStore interface to support single-key_multi-timestamp queries.
- Finally, a field called validTo is added to the VersionedRecord class to enable us representing tombstones as well.
Proposed Changes
To be able to list the tombstones, the validTo Optional field is added to the VersionedRecord class can accept NULL values as well.For single-key queries, MultiVersionedKeyQuery and ValueIterator classes will be used. The default value of validTo is Optional.empty() which means the record is still valid.

MultiVersionedKeyQuery class
...
If a user applies the same time limit multiple times such as MultiVersionedKeyQuery.withKey(k).from(t1).from(t2), then the last one wins (it will be translated to MultiVersionedKeyQuery.withKey(k).from(t2)).
- Defining a query with time range (empty, t1] will be translated into [0, t1] (calling only the from method).
- Defining a query with time range (t1, empty) will be translated into [t1, MAX) (calling only the asOf method).
- A query with no specified time range will will be translated into [0, MAX). It mean the query will return all the versions of the records with specified key.
...
- The fromTimestamp specifies the starting point. There can be records which have been inserted before the fromTimestamp and are valid in the time range. For example, if the record (k,v) has been inserted at time=0, it will be returned by the multi versioned key queries with key=k and fromTimestamp>=0. Obviously, if the record (k,v) becomes tombstone at time=2, then the multi versioned key queries with key=k and fromTimestamp>=2 will not return it any more. In this case, the multi versioned key queries with key=k and fromTimestamp<2 will return the record (k,v) validTo=2.
- The asOfTimestamp specifies the ending point. Records that have been inserted at asOfTimestamp are returned by the query as well.
* @param value The value
* @param timestamp The timestamp
* @param validTo The exclusive upper bound of the validity interval
*/
public VersionedRecord(final V value, final long timestamp, final Optional<Long> validTo);
/**

*/
public Optional<Long> validTo();

For single-key queries, MultiVersionedKeyQuery and VersionedRecordIterator classes will be used.

MultiVersionedKeyQuery class
- The methods are composable. The fromTime(Instant fromTime) and toTime(Instant toTime) methods specify the time range.
If a user applies the same time limit multiple times such as MultiVersionedKeyQuery.withKey(k).fromTime(t1).fromTime(t2), then the last one wins (it will be translated to MultiVersionedKeyQuery.withKey(k).fromTime(t2)).
- Defining a query with time range (empty, t1] will be translated into [0, t1] (calling only the toTime(t1) method).
- Defining a query with time range [t1, empty) will be translated into [t1, MAX) (calling only the fromTime(t1) method).
- A query with no specified time range will be translated into [0, MAX). It means that the query will return all the versions of the records with specified key.
- As explained in the javadocs, the query returns all valid records within the specified time range.
- The fromTime specifies the starting point. There can be records which have been inserted before the fromTime and are valid in the time range. For example, if the record (k,v) has been inserted at time=0, it will be returned by the multi versioned key queries with key=k and fromTime>=0. Obviously, if the record (k,v) becomes tombstone at time=2, then the multi versioned key queries with key=k and fromTime>=2 will not return it any more. In this case, the multi versioned key queries with key=k and fromTime<2 will return the record (k,v) validTo=2.
- The toTime specifies the ending point. Records that have been inserted at toTime are returned by the query as well.
- No ordering is guaranteed for the results, but the results can be sorted by timestamp (in ascending or descending order) by calling the corresponding defined methods (withAscendingTimestamps() and withDescendingTimestamps() respectively).

Examples
The following example illustrates the use of the VersionedKeyQuery class to query a versioned state store.
Imagine we have the following records
put(1, 1, time=2023-01-01T10:00:00.00Z)
put(1, null, time=2023-01-05T10:00:00.00Z)
put(1, null, time=2023-01-10T10:00:00.00Z)
put(1, 2, time=2023-01-15T10:00:00.00Z)

Compatibility, Deprecation, and Migration Plan
- Since this is a completely new set of APIs, no backward compatibility concerns are anticipated.
- Since nothing is deprecated in this KIP, users have no need to migrate unless they want tois deprecated in this KIP, users have no need to migrate unless they want to.
Rejected Alternatives
In order to be able to retrieve the consecutive tombstones, we can have a method or flag (disabled by default) to allow users to get all tombstones. If it is a real use case for the users, we will add it later.
Test Plan
The single-key_multi-timestamp interactive queries will be tested in versioned stored IQv2 integration test (like non-versioned key queries). Moreover , there will be unit tests where ever needed.
