irate is a rate function that only looks at the most
recent two data points, and calucaltes a per-second value
from that. This produces much more granular graphs for
fast moving data, and works sanely across many scrape intervals.
It doesn't do so well for slowly moving data.
Currently the only way to convert a scalar to a vector is to
use absent(), which isn't very clean. This adds a vector()
function that's the inverse of scalar() and lets your optionally
set labels.
Example usage would be
vector(time() % 86400) < 3600
to filter to only the first hour of the day.
This calculates how much a counter increases over
a given period of time, which is the area under the curve
of it's rate.
increase(x[5m]) is equivilent to rate(x[5m]) * 300.
This copies the evaluation logic from the current rules/ package.
The new engine handles the execution process from query string to final result.
It provides query timeout and cancellation and general flexibility for
future changes.
functions.go: Add evaluation implementation. Slight changes to in/out data but
not to the processing logic.
quantile.go: No changes.
analyzer.go: No changes.
engine.go: Actually new part. Mainly consists of evaluation methods
which were not changed.
setup_test.go: Copy of rules/helpers_test.go to setup test storage.
promql_test.go: Copy of rules/rules_test.go.
This commit creates a (so far unused) package. It contains the a custom
lexer/parser for the query language.
ast.go: New AST that interacts well with the parser.
lex.go: Custom lexer (new).
lex_test.go: Lexer tests (new).
parse.go: Custom parser (new).
parse_test.go: Parser tests (new).
functions.go: Changed function type, dummies for parser testing (barely changed/dummies).
printer.go: Adapted from rules/ and adjusted to new AST (mostly unchanged, few additions).
