This change switches the remote_write API to use the TSDB WAL. This should reduce memory usage and prevent sample loss when the remote end point is down.
We use the new LiveReader from TSDB to tail WAL segments. Logic for finding the tracking segment is included in this PR. The WAL is tailed once for each remote_write endpoint specified. Reading from the segment is based on a ticker rather than relying on fsnotify write events, which were found to be complicated and unreliable in early prototypes.
Enqueuing a sample for sending via remote_write can now block, to provide back pressure. Queues are still required to acheive parallelism and batching. We have updated the queue config based on new defaults for queue capacity and pending samples values - much smaller values are now possible. The remote_write resharding code has been updated to prevent deadlocks, and extra tests have been added for these cases.
As part of this change, we attempt to guarantee that samples are not lost; however this initial version doesn't guarantee this across Prometheus restarts or non-retryable errors from the remote end (eg 400s).
This changes also includes the following optimisations:
- only marshal the proto request once, not once per retry
- maintain a single copy of the labels for given series to reduce GC pressure
Other minor tweaks:
- only reshard if we've also successfully sent recently
- add pending samples, latest sent timestamp, WAL events processed metrics

Add WALSegmentSize as an option, and the corresponding flag "storage.tsdb.wal-segment-size" to tune the max size of wal segment files.
The addressed base problem is to reduce the disk space used by wal segment files : on a raspberry pi, for instance, we often want to reduce write load of the sd card, then, the wal directory is mounted on a memory (space limited) partition.
the default value of the segment max file size, pushed the size of directory to 128 MB for each segment , which is too much ram consumption on a rasp.
the initial discussion is at https://github.com/prometheus/tsdb/pull/450
Currently Prometheus requests show up with a UA of Go-http-client/1.1
which isn't super helpful. Though the X-Prometheus-Remote-* headers
exist they need to be explicitly configured when logging the request in
order to be able to deduce this is a request originating from
Prometheus. By setting the header we remove this ambiguity and make
default server logs just a bit more useful.
This also updates a few other places to consistently capitalize the 'P'
in the user agent, as well as ensure we set a UA to begin with.

Federation makes use of dedupedSeriesSet to merge SeriesSets for every
query into one output stream. If many match[] arguments are provided,
many dedupedSeriesSet objects will get chained. This has the downside of
causing a potential O(n*k) running time, where n is the number of series
and k the number of match[] arguments.
In the mean time, the storage package provides a mergeSeriesSet that
accomplishes the same with an O(n*log(k)) running time by making use of
a binary heap. Let's just get rid of dedupedSeriesSet and change all
existing callers to use mergeSeriesSet.
For special remote read endpoints which have only data for specific
queries, it is desired to limit the number of queries sent to the
configured remote read endpoint to reduce latency and performance
overhead.
* Decouple remote client from ReadRecent feature.
* Separate remote read filter into a small, testable function.
* Use storage.Queryable interface to compose independent
functionalities.
In order to compose different querier implementations more easily, this
change introduces a separate storage.Queryable interface grouping the
query (Querier) function of the storage.
Furthermore, it adds a QueryableFunc type to ease writing very simple
queryable implementations.
The labelsets returned from remote read are mutated in higher levels
(like seriesFilter.Labels()) and since the concreteSeriesSet didn't
return a copy, the external mutation affected the labelset in the
concreteSeries itself. This resulted in bizarre bugs where local and
remote series would show with identical label sets in the UI, but not be
deduplicated, since internally, a series might come to look like:
{__name__="node_load5", instance="192.168.1.202:12090", job="node_exporter", node="odroid", node="odroid"}
(note the repetition of the last label)
* Fast path the merge querier such that it is completely removed from query path when there is no remote storage.
* Add NoopQuerier
* Add copyright notice.

If the user accidentally sets the max block duration smaller than the min,
the current error is not informative. This change just performs the check
earlier and improves the error message.
staticcheck fails with:
storage/remote/read_test.go:199:27: do not pass a nil Context, even if a function permits it; pass context.TODO if you are unsure about which Context to use (SA1012)
Currently all read queries are simply pushed to remote read clients.
This is fine, except for remote storage for wich it unefficient and
make query slower even if remote read is unnecessary.
So we need instead to compare the oldest timestamp in primary/local
storage with the query range lower boundary. If the oldest timestamp
is older than the mint parameter, then there is no need for remote read.
This is an optionnal behavior per remote read client.

Instead, just make the anchoring part of the internal regex. This helps because
some users will want to read back the `Value` field and expect it to be the
same as the input value (e.g. some tests in Cortex), or use the value in
another context which is already expected to add its own anchoring, leading to
superfluous double anchoring (such as when we translate matchers into remote
read request matchers).
* Re-add contexts to storage.Storage.Querier()
These are needed when replacing the storage by a multi-tenant
implementation where the tenant is stored in the context.
The 1.x query interfaces already had contexts, but they got lost in 2.x.
* Convert promql.Engine to use native contexts
This can happen in the situation where the system scales up the number of shards massively (to deal with some backlog), then scales it down again as the number of samples sent during the time period is less than the number received.
* Fix error where we look into the future.
So currently we are adding values that are in the future for an older
timestamp. For example, if we have [(1, 1), (150, 2)] we will end up
showing [(1, 1), (2,2)].
Further it is not advisable to call .At() after Next() returns false.

This is in line with the v1.5 change in paradigm to not keep
chunk.Descs without chunks around after a series maintenance.
It's mainly motivated by avoiding excessive amounts of RAM usage
during crash recovery.
The code avoids to create memory time series with zero chunk.Descs as
that is prone to trigger weird effects. (Series maintenance would
archive series with zero chunk.Descs, but we cannot do that here
because the archive indices still have to be checked.)
The fpIter was kind of cumbersome to use and required a lock for each
iteration (which wasn't even needed for the iteration at startup after
loading the checkpoint).
The new implementation here has an obvious penalty in memory, but it's
only 8 byte per series, so 80MiB for a beefy server with 10M memory
time series (which would probably need ~100GiB RAM, so the memory
penalty is only 0.1% of the total memory need).
The big advantage is that now series maintenance happens in order,
which leads to the time between two maintenances of the same series
being less random. Ideally, after each maintenance, the next
maintenance would tackle the series with the largest number of
non-persisted chunks. That would be quite an effort to find out or
track, but with the approach here, the next maintenance will tackle
the series whose previous maintenance is longest ago, which is a good
approximation.
While this commit won't change the _average_ number of chunks
persisted per maintenance, it will reduce the mean time a given chunk
has to wait for its persistence and thus reduce the steady-state
number of chunks waiting for persistence.
Also, the map iteration in Go is non-deterministic but not truly
random. In practice, the iteration appears to be somewhat "bucketed".
You can often observe a bunch of series with similar duration since
their last maintenance, i.e. you see batches of series with similar
number of chunks persisted per maintenance. If that batch is
relatively young, a whole lot of series are maintained with very few
chunks to persist. (See screenshot in PR for a better explanation.)
This is a fairly easy attempt to dynamically evict chunks based on the
heap size. A target heap size has to be set as a command line flage,
so that users can essentially say "utilize 4GiB of RAM, and please
don't OOM".
The -storage.local.max-chunks-to-persist and
-storage.local.memory-chunks flags are deprecated by this
change. Backwards compatibility is provided by ignoring
-storage.local.max-chunks-to-persist and use
-storage.local.memory-chunks to set the new
-storage.local.target-heap-size to a reasonable (and conservative)
value (both with a warning).
This also makes the metrics intstrumentation more consistent (in
naming and implementation) and cleans up a few quirks in the tests.
Answers to anticipated comments:
There is a chance that Go 1.9 will allow programs better control over
the Go memory management. I don't expect those changes to be in
contradiction with the approach here, but I do expect them to
complement them and allow them to be more precise and controlled. In
any case, once those Go changes are available, this code has to be
revisted.
One might be tempted to let the user specify an estimated value for
the RSS usage, and then internall set a target heap size of a certain
fraction of that. (In my experience, 2/3 is a fairly safe bet.)
However, investigations have shown that RSS size and its relation to
the heap size is really really complicated. It depends on so many
factors that I wouldn't even start listing them in a commit
description. It depends on many circumstances and not at least on the
risk trade-off of each individual user between RAM utilization and
probability of OOMing during a RAM usage peak. To not add even more to
the confusion, we need to stick to the well-defined number we also use
in the targeting here, the sum of the sizes of heap objects.
Currently, if a series stops to exist, its head chunk will be kept
open for an hour. That prevents it from being persisted. Which
prevents it from being evicted. Which prevents the series from being
archived.
Most of the time, once no sample has been added to a series within the
staleness limit, we can be pretty confident that this series will not
receive samples anymore. The whole chain as described above can be
started after 5m instead of 1h. In the relaxed case, this doesn't
change a lot as the head chunk timeout is only checked during series
maintenance, and usually, a series is only maintained every six
hours. However, there is the typical scenario where a large service is
deployed, the deoply turns out to be bad, and then it is deployed
again within minutes, and quite quickly the number of time series has
tripled. That's the point where the Prometheus server is stressed and
switches (rightfully) into rushed mode. In that mode, time series are
processed as quickly as possible, but all of that is in vein if all of
those recently ended time series cannot be persisted yet for another
hour. In that scenario, this change will help most, and it's exactly
the scenario where help is most desperately needed.
Each remote write endpoint gets its own set of relabeling rules.
This is based on the (yet-to-be-merged)
https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/pull/2419, which removes legacy
remote write implementations.
This removes legacy support for specific remote storage systems in favor
of only offering the generic remote write protocol. An example bridge
application that translates from the generic protocol to each of those
legacy backends is still provided at:
documentation/examples/remote_storage/remote_storage_bridge
See also https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/10
The next step in the plan is to re-add support for multiple remote
storages.
This is another corner-case that was previously never exercised
because the rewriting of a series file was never prevented by the
shrink ratio.
Scenario: There is an existing series on disk, which is archived. If a
new sample comes in for that file, a new chunk in memory is created,
and the chunkDescsOffset is set to -1. If series maintenance happens
before the series has at least one chunk to persist _and_ an
insufficient chunks on disk is old enough for purging (so that the
shrink ratio kicks in), dropAndPersistChunks would return 0, but it
should return the chunk length of the series file.
Also, in that code path, set chunkDescsOffset to 0 rather than -1 in
case of "dropped more chunks from persistence than from memory" so
that no other weird things happen before the series is quarantined for
good.
The append call may reuse cds, and thus change its len.
(In practice, this wouldn't happen as cds should have len==cap.
Still, the previous order of lines was problematic.)
This decreases checkpoint size by not checkpointing things
that don't actually need checkpointing.
This is fully compatible with the v2 checkpoint format,
as it makes series appear as though the only chunksdescs
in memory are those that need persisting.
With this change the scraping caches series references and only
allocates label sets if it has to retrieve a new reference.
pkg/textparse is used to do the conditional parsing and reduce
allocations from 900B/sample to 0 in the general case.
Add metrics around checkpointing and persistence
* Add a metric to say if checkpointing is happening,
and another to track total checkpoint time and count.
This breaks the existing prometheus_local_storage_checkpoint_duration_seconds
by renaming it to prometheus_local_storage_checkpoint_last_duration_seconds
as the former name is more appropriate for a summary.
* Add metric for last checkpoint size.
* Add metric for series/chunks processed by checkpoints.
For long checkpoints it'd be useful to see how they're progressing.
* Add metric for dirty series
* Add metric for number of chunks persisted per series.
You can get the number of chunks from chunk_ops,
but not the matching number of series. This helps determine
the size of the writes being made.
* Add metric for chunks queued for persistence
Chunks created includes both chunks that'll need persistence
and chunks read in for queries. This only includes chunks created
for persistence.
* Code review comments on new persistence metrics.
When a large Prometheus starts up fresh it can take many minutes
to warmup and clear out the index queue. A larger queue means less
blocking, bigger batches and cuts down startup time by ~50%.
Keeping these around has two problems:
1) Each desc takes 64 bytes, 10 of them is 640B. This is a lot of
overhead on a 1024 byte chunk.
2) It can take well over a week to reach a point where this and thus
Prometheus memory usage as a whole enters steady state. This makes RAM
estimation very hard for users, and makes it difficult to investigate
things like memory fragmentation.
Instead we'll wipe them during each memory series maintenance cycle, and
if a query pulls them in they'll hang around as cache until the next
cycle.
Two cases:
- An unarchived metric must have at least one chunk desc loaded upon
unarchival. Otherwise, the file is gone or has size 0, which is an
inconsistency (because the series is still indexed in the archive
index). Hence, quarantining is triggered.
- If loading the chunk descs of a series with a known chunkDescsOffset
(i.e. != -1), the number of chunks loaded must be equal to
chunkDescsOffset. If not, there is a data corruption. An error is
returned, which leads to qurantining.
In any case, there is a guard added to not access the 1st element of
an empty chunkDescs slice. (That's what triggered the crashes in issue
2249.) A time series with unknown chunkDescsOffset and no chunks in
memory and no chunks on disk either could trigger that case. I would
assume such a "null series" doesn't exist, but it's not entirely
unthinkable and unreasonable to happen (perhaps in future uses of the
storage). (Create a series, and then something tries to preload chunks
before the first sample is added.)
