[Lens] Heatmap / Swim lane integration #97978

darnautov · 2021-04-22T10:32:12Z

Summary

Adds Heatmap/Swim lane chart by https:/elastic/elastic-charts to the Lens editor.

If you encountered any rendering-related issues please check a list of known issues and create a bug report if necessary.

Known issues/limitations

elastic-charts related

Value formatting doesn't apply to the legend labels. It's been fixed in the elastic-charts, should be part of the upcoming patch release.
Intervals don't work 100% reliably (Heatmap time buckets should use value from timeScale elastic-charts#1165). We made a decision to disable xDomain until the issue is resolved on the elastic charts, so be aware the chart won't auto-extend with respect to the time range.
Legends items might contain duplicated 0 (Heatmap legend with linear color scale contains duplicate 0 elastic-charts#1166)
Legends is missing entries in some cases ([Heatmap] Legend occasionally missing some entires elastic-charts#1191)
Overlapping labels ([Heatmap] Rotate or hide overlapping labels on X-axis elastic-charts#1168)
Overlay mask for brushing over categorical data isn't rendered (Heatmap brushing action for categorical data elastic-charts#1170)
Brushing action over the numeric categorical data crashes the browser's window (Brushing action crashes the the browser's window elastic-charts#1171)
axis labeling (need charts issue and then lens issue)
value labels (needs charts issue? and then lens issue)

require changes on the Lens side

Axis ordering. The heatmap chart supports xSortPredicate and ySortPredicate (at the moment using dataIndex for both). Axis configuration in Lens should allow configuring the sorting function. similar to: covered in this issue and NOT required for removal of Experimental badge: [Lens] Allow client-side sorting of dimensions and legends at datasource level for all chart types #86184
Time range brushing and terms selecting doesn't work at the same time

Heatmap / Swim lane chart behavior

Depending on the data type of the X-axis, the chart looks and behaves slightly differently.

TIme-series data

Chart example:

Brushing action applies a selected time range similar to the XY chart.

Categorical data

Chart example:

The brushing action invokes filters based on selected X and Y values.

List of things I noticed:

Suggestions - when on broken down xy chart a lot of suggestions are rendered. I think we can solve this by this by emitting suggestions for reduced tables, but make them hidden (only showing it for unchanged tables)
As discussed, emit hidden suggestions for tables with just a single bucket dimension (mapping it to x axis and rendering without y axis)
Just in general, render the heatmap if there is no vertical axis as it still makes sense
Do not emit visible suggestions if heatmap is already the current visualization
Legend has two entries for "> 0"

The top legend often looks broken - should we default to right legend?
Clicking a suggestion breaks Lens
Do not generate an expression in toExpression if metric is missing - right now it's just rendering an empty screen, but you can simply return null as an expression in this case
Why not allowing date histograms on the vertical axis? I think it makes sense to default it to the horizontal axis but IMHO we shouldn't completely prevent it
Filters by clicking not working yet

Let me know once the code is ready for a more detailed loo

flash1293 · 2021-05-12T08:50:46Z

I started reviewing again, but it seems like most things from the list above are not addressed yet. Let me know once I can take another look. A few other things I noticed:

If y axis is missing, an error is shown now. This should render with a single "row" instead so the user sees what they configured so far (similar to

kibana/x-pack/plugins/lens/public/xy_visualization/expression.tsx

Line 713 in 6b8c44d

if (!xAccessor) {

)
There are a lot of timezone errors because your are directly using it from uiSettings - however the default setting is Browser which means the actual time zone has to be inferred from the browser. This is how xy chart is doing it:

kibana/x-pack/plugins/lens/public/xy_visualization/index.ts

Line 22 in a9d0b6f

function getTimeZone(uiSettings: IUiSettingsClient) {
Starting from a broken down xy chart, there are two heatmap suggestions (because there are two tables with different nesting of the dimensions):

* I don't think it makes sense to show both, we should probably hide suggestions based on the `reorder` change type

flash1293

I found one other thing - if "Last value" is used as metric, it's possible array values are returned (like for products.price in the ecommerce sample data). In this case the chart is rendering "No results found".

This is fine for me, but on xy chart we show a warning in this case to make the user aware:

Heatmap should do the same thing - it's this piece of code ( I guess it makes sense to :

kibana/x-pack/plugins/lens/public/xy_visualization/visualization.tsx

Line 418 in 51616e1

getWarningMessages(state, frame) {

Otherwise this looks fine to me - going to approve after that.

@wylieconlon I think it's worth taking another look at that from your side if you have the time.

wylieconlon

Yes, I found the same issue as @flash1293 with the "Last value" function. It looks like it's actually a bug because the heatmap fails to render when using last value. You can reproduce this using the kibana_sample_data_ecommerce dataset using any products.* fields.

I also found another bug, the heatmap legend is not formatted. You can test this by using the Value formatter option on the metric, or by adding a default formatter to your index pattern:

Other than these new issues, I think my previously found issues were all fixed.

flash1293 · 2021-06-03T15:24:07Z

It looks like it's actually a bug because the heatmap fails to render when using last value

It looks like right now it's excluding all array values, but rendering single values if there are any. IMHO this is an acceptable behavior for the beta version as long as we have the warning

wylieconlon · 2021-06-03T17:24:07Z

@flash1293 The case I was running into is when every value is an array, the chart is completely blank, instead of showing an empty state or warning message.

Left one additional small comment on re-review. Also responded to my previous comment on the EUI class targeting and styles with a possible solution.

Otherwise, this looks good from my perspective. Will approve once these changes are made. Thanks!

darnautov · 2021-06-04T09:43:10Z

@wylieconlon I've created a PR in the elastic-charts repo to address an issue with the legend items formatting

darnautov · 2021-06-04T09:54:05Z

Thanks for taking another look @MichaelMarcialis, I resolved your comments about the chart switcher in d699e9e

flash1293

LGTM

Left two nits I would like to get addressed, but I don't think I have to review again for them.

Not sure whether we noted that down somewhere, but the legend seems to miss entries sometimes:

No entry for the dark shade of red. Seems to be an elastic-charts issue

flash1293 · 2021-06-04T11:32:30Z

x-pack/plugins/lens/public/heatmap_visualization/chart_component.tsx

+ const valueFormatter = formatFactory(valueColumn.meta.params);
+
+ // Enable xDomain when https:/elastic/elastic-charts/issues/1165 is resolved.
+ // @ts-ignore


Nit: We usually don't keep these thins in code, can you remove it from here and move it into an issue?

Removed in 9bb03df

flash1293 · 2021-06-04T11:37:56Z

x-pack/plugins/lens/public/heatmap_visualization/chart_component.tsx

+
+ // @ts-ignore
+ const onElementClick: ElementClickListener = (e: HeatmapElementEvent[]) => {
+ const cell = e[0][0];


nit: Please cast the (e: HeatmapElementEvent[]) => void to ElementClickListener instead of ignoring the ts error. That's retains at least some type safety.

Fixed in ef95471

wylieconlon

LGTM, this is working very well in all the cases I could test!

I did find a new charts bug in my latest round of testing: elastic/elastic-charts#1192

MichaelMarcialis

Thanks for making those changes. I left two last nitpicky comments, but nothing worth holding you up for. Approving.
