 * Creates a GPUdb API object for the specified URL using the given options.
 * Once created, all options are immutable; to use a different URL or change
 * options, create a new instance. (Creating a new instance does not
 * communicate with the server and should not cause performance concerns.)
 *
 * @class
 * @classdesc GPUdb API object that provides access to GPUdb server functions.
 * @param {String|String[]} url The URL of the GPUdb server (e.g.,
                   <code>http://hostname:9191</code>). May also be specified as
                   a list of urls; all urls in the list must be well formed.
 * @param {Object} [options] A set of configurable options for the GPUdb API.
 * @param {String} [options.username] The username to be used for authentication
 *                 to GPUdb. This username will be sent with every GPUdb request
 *                 made via the API along with the specified password and may be
 *                 used for authorization decisions by the server if it is so
 *                 configured. If neither username nor password is specified, no
 *                 authentication will be performed.
 * @param {String} [options.password] The password to be used for authentication
 *                 to GPUdb. This password will be sent with every GPUdb request
 *                 made via the API along with the specified username and may be
 *                 used for authorization decisions by the server if it is so
 *                 configured. If neither username nor password is specified, no
 *                 authentication will be performed.
 * @param {Number} [options.timeout] The timeout value, in milliseconds, after
 *                 which requests to GPUdb will be aborted. A timeout value of
 *                 zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout. Note that timeout
 *                 is not suppored for synchronous requests, which will not
 *                 return until a response is received and cannot be aborted.

 * attempts to do k-means clustering.  An ideal k-means clustering algorithm
 * selects k points such that the sum of the mean squared distances of each
 * member of the set to the nearest of the k points is minimized.  The k-means
 * algorithm however does not necessarily produce such an ideal cluster.   It
 * begins with a randomly selected set of k points and then refines the
 * location of the points iteratively and settles to a local minimum.  Various
 * parameters and options are provided to control the heuristic search.
 *
 * @param {String} table_name  Name of the table on which the operation will be

 * @param {String[]} column_names  List of column names on which the operation
 *                                 would be performed. If n columns are
 *                                 provided then each of the k result points
 *                                 will have n dimensions corresponding to the
 *                                 n columns.
 * @param {Number} k  The number of mean points to be determined by the
 *                    algorithm.
 * @param {Number} tolerance  Stop iterating when the distances between
 *                            successive points is less than the given
 *                            tolerance.

 *                          is not to whiten.
 *                                  <li> 'max_iters': Number of times to try to
 *                          hit the tolerance limit before giving up - default
 *                          is 10.

 *                          the k-means algorithm with a different randomly
 *                          selected starting points - helps avoid local
 *                          minimum. Default is 1.

 *                          to a file actually in that directory; for example,

 *                          application; however, any necessary external
 *                          programs must be preinstalled on every database
 *                          node. If the command refers to a file in that
 *                          directory, it must be preceded with './' as per
 *                          Linux convention. If not specified, and exactly one
 *                          file is provided in <code>files</code>, that file
 *                          will be invoked.
 * @param {String[]} args  An array of command-line arguments that will be
 *                         passed to <code>command</code> when the proc is
 *                         executed.

 * Creates a new type describing the layout or schema of a table. The type
 * definition is a JSON string describing the fields (i.e. columns) of the
 * type. Each field consists of a name and a data type. Supported data types
 * are: double, float, int, long, string, and bytes. In addition one or more
 * properties can be specified for each column which customize the memory usage
 * and query availability of that column.  Note that some properties are
 * mutually exclusive--i.e. they cannot be specified for any given column
 * simultaneously.  One example of mutually exclusive properties are
 * <code>data</code> and <code>store_only</code>.
 * <p>
 * To set a *primary key* on one or more columns include the property
 * 'primary_key' on the desired column_names. If a primary key is specified,
 * then a uniqueness constraint is enforced, in that only a single object can
 * exist with a given primary key. When
 * [inserting]{@linkcode GPUdb#insert_records} data into a table with a
 * primary key, depending on the parameters in the request, incoming objects
 * with primary keys that match existing objects will either overwrite (i.e.
 * update) the existing object or will be skipped and not added into the set.
 * <p>
 * Example of a type definition with some of the parameters::
 * <p>
 *         {"type":"record",
 *         "name":"point",
 *         "fields":[{"name":"msg_id","type":"string"},
 *                         {"name":"x","type":"double"},
 *                         {"name":"y","type":"double"},
 *                         {"name":"TIMESTAMP","type":"double"},
 *                         {"name":"source","type":"string"},
 *                         {"name":"group_id","type":"string"},
 *                         {"name":"OBJECT_ID","type":"string"}]
 *         }
 * <p>
 * Properties::

 *         "msg_id":["store_only","text_search"]
 *         }
 *
 * @param {String} type_definition  a JSON string describing the columns of the
 *                                  type to be registered.
 * @param {String} label  A user-defined description string which can be used
 *                        to differentiate between tables and types with
 *                        otherwise identical schemas.
 * @param {Object} properties  Each key-value pair specifies the properties to
 *                             use for a given column where the key is the
 *                             column name.  All keys used must be relevant
 *                             column names for the given table.  Specifying
 *                             any property overrides the default properties
 *                             for that column (which is based on the column's
 *                             data type).
 *                             Valid values are:
 *                             <ul>
 *                                     <li> 'data': Default property for all
 *                             numeric and string type columns; makes the
 *                             column available for GPU queries.
 *                                     <li> 'text_search': Valid only for
 *                             'string' columns. Enables full text search for
 *                             string columns. Can be set independently of
 *                             *data* and *store_only*.
 *                                     <li> 'store_only': Persist the column
 *                             value but do not make it available to queries
 *                             (e.g. {@linkcode GPUdb#filter_by_box})-i.e. it
 *                             is mutually exclusive to the 'data' property.
 *                             Any 'bytes' type column must have a 'store_only'
 *                             property. This property reduces system memory
 *                             usage.
 *                                     <li> 'disk_optimized': Works in
 *                             conjunction with the 'data' property for string
 *                             columns. This property reduces system disk usage
 *                             by disabling reverse string lookups. Queries
 *                             like {@linkcode GPUdb#filter},
 *                             {@linkcode GPUdb#filter_by_list}, and
 *                             {@linkcode GPUdb#filter_by_value} work as
 *                             usual but {@linkcode GPUdb#aggregate_unique},
 *                             {@linkcode GPUdb#aggregate_group_by} and
 *                             {@linkcode GPUdb#get_records_by_column} are
 *                             not allowed on columns with this property.
 *                                     <li> 'timestamp': Valid only for 'long'
 *                             columns. Indicates that this field represents a
 *                             timestamp and will be provided in milliseconds
 *                             since the Unix epoch: 00:00:00 Jan 1 1970.
 *                             Dates represented by a timestamp must fall
 *                             between the year 1000 and the year 2900.
 *                                     <li> 'decimal': Valid only for 'string'
 *                             columns.  It represents a SQL type NUMERIC(19,
 *                             4) data type.  There can be up to 15 digits
 *                             before the decimal point and up to four digits
 *                             in the fractional part.  The value can be
 *                             positive or negative (indicated by a minus sign
 *                             at the beginning).  This property is mutually
 *                             exclusive with the 'text_search' property.
 *                                     <li> 'date': Valid only for 'string'
 *                             columns.  Indicates that this field represents a
 *                             date and will be provided in the format
 *                             'YYYY-MM-DD'.  The allowable range is 1000-01-01
 *                             through 2900-01-01.
 *                                     <li> 'time': Valid only for 'string'
 *                             columns.  Indicates that this field represents a
 *                             time-of-day and will be provided in the format
 *                             'HH:MM:SS.mmm'.  The allowable range is

 *                                     <li> 'nullable': This property indicates

 *                             this property is insufficient for making the
 *                             column nullable.  The user must declare the type
 *                             of the column as a union between its regular
 *                             type and 'null' in the avro schema for the
 *                             record type in <code>type_definition</code>.
 *                             For example, if a column is of type integer and
 *                             is nullable, then the entry for the column in
 *                             the avro schema must be: ['int', 'null'].
 *                             The Java and C++ APIs have built-in convenience
 *                             for bypassing setting the avro schema by hand.
 *                             For those two languages, one can use this
 *                             property as usual and not have to worry about
 *                             the avro schema for the record.

 *                                  <li> 'except': Retains all unique rows from
 *                          the first table that do not appear in the second
 *                          table (only works on 2 tables).

 *                                  <li> 'merge_views': Merge two or more views
 *                          (or views of views) of the same base data set into
 *                          a new view. The resulting view would match the
 *                          results of a SQL OR operation, e.g., if filter 1
 *                          creates a view using the expression 'x = 10' and
 *                          filter 2 creates a view using the expression 'x <=
 *                          10', then the merge views operation creates a new
 *                          view using the expression 'x = 10 OR x <= 10'.
 *                          </ul>
 *                          The default value is 'union_all'.
 *                                  <li> 'ttl': Sets the TTL of the table
 *                          specified in <code>table_name</code>. The value
 *                          must be the desired TTL in minutes.
 *                                  <li> 'persist': If <code>true</code> then
 *                          the union will be persisted as a regular table (it
 *                          will not be automatically cleared unless a
 *                          <code>ttl</code> is provided, and the table data
 *                          can be modified in subsequent operations). If
 *                          <code>false</code> then the union will be a

 *                          which parameter is being specified.  The parameters

 *                          *interval*.  These parameters take on different
 *                          meanings depending on the type of the column.
 *                          Below follows a more detailed description of the
 *                          map:
 *                          <ul>
 *                                  <li> 'seed': If provided, the internal
 *                          random number generator will be initialized with
 *                          the given value.  The minimum is 0.  This allows
 *                          for the same set of random numbers to be generated
 *                          across invocation of this endpoint in case the user
 *                          wants to repeat the test.  Since
 *                          <code>options</code>, is a map of maps, we need an
 *                          internal map to provide the seed value.  For
 *                          example, to pass 100 as the seed value through this
 *                          parameter, you need something equivalent to:
 *                          'options' = {'seed': { 'value': 100 } }
 *                          <ul>
 *                                  <li> 'value': Pass the seed value here.
 *                          </ul>
 *                                  <li> 'all': This key indicates that the
 *                          specifications relayed in the internal map are to
 *                          be applied to all columns of the records.
 *                          <ul>
 *                                  <li> 'min': For numerical columns, the

 *                          value.  Default is -99999.  For point, shape, and
 *                          track semantic types, min for numeric 'x' and 'y'
 *                          columns needs to be within [-180, 180] and [-90,
