beorn7	fc6737b7fb	storage: improve index lookups tl;dr: This is not a fundamental solution to the indexing problem (like tindex is) but it at least avoids utilizing the intersection problem to the greatest possible amount. In more detail: Imagine the following query: nicely:aggregating:rule{job="foo",env="prod"} While it uses a nicely aggregating recording rule (which might have a very low cardinality), Prometheus still intersects the low number of fingerprints for `{__name__="nicely:aggregating:rule"}` with the many thousands of fingerprints matching `{job="foo"}` and with the millions of fingerprints matching `{env="prod"}`. This totally innocuous query is dead slow if the Prometheus server has a lot of time series with the `{env="prod"}` label. Ironically, if you make the query more complicated, it becomes blazingly fast: nicely:aggregating:rule{job=~"foo",env=~"prod"} Why so? Because Prometheus only intersects with non-Equal matchers if there are no Equal matchers. That's good in this case because it retrieves the few fingerprints for `{__name__="nicely:aggregating:rule"}` and then starts right ahead to retrieve the metric for those FPs and checking individually if they match the other matchers. This change is generalizing the idea of when to stop intersecting FPs and go into "retrieve metrics and check them individually against remaining matchers" mode: - First, sort all matchers by "expected cardinality". Matchers matching the empty string are always worst (and never used for intersections). Equal matchers are in general consider best, but by using some crude heuristics, we declare some better than others (instance labels or anything that looks like a recording rule). - Then go through the matchers until we hit a threshold of remaining FPs in the intersection. This threshold is higher if we are already in the non-Equal matcher area as intersection is even more expensive here. - Once the threshold has been reached (or we have run out of matchers that do not match the empty string), start with "retrieve metrics and check them individually against remaining matchers". A beefy server at SoundCloud was spending 67% of its CPU time in index lookups (fingerprintsForLabelPairs), serving mostly a dashboard that is exclusively built with recording rules. With this change, it spends only 35% in fingerprintsForLabelPairs. The CPU usage dropped from 26 cores to 18 cores. The median latency for query_range dropped from 14s to 50ms(!). As expected, higher percentile latency didn't improve that much because the new approach is _occasionally_ running into the worst case while the old one was _systematically_ doing so. The 99th percentile latency is now about as high as the median before (14s) while it was almost twice as high before (26s).	8 years ago

beorn7	2a75b15328	Crash recovery: Fix an edge case. If the chunks of a series in the checkpoint are all older then the latest chunk on disk, the head chunk is persisted and therefore has to be declared closed. It would be great to have a test for this, but that would require more plumbing, subject of #447.	9 years ago

Julius Volz	b7b6717438	Separate query interface out of local.Storage. PromQL only requires a much narrower interface than local.Storage in order to run queries. Narrower interfaces are easier to replace and test, too. We could also change the web interface to use local.Querier, except that we'll probably use appending functions from there in the future.	9 years ago

beorn7	99881ded63	Make the number of fingerprint mutexes configurable With a lot of series accessed in a short timeframe (by a query, a large scrape, checkpointing, ...), there is actually quite a significant amount of lock contention if something similar is running at the same time. In those cases, the number of locks needs to be increased. On the same front, as our fingerprints don't have a lot of entropy, I introduced some additional shuffling. With the current state, anly changes in the least singificant bits of a FP would matter.	9 years ago

beorn7	a90d645378	Checkpoint fingerprint mappings only upon shutdown Before, we checkpointed after every newly detected fingerprint collision, which is not a problem as long as collisions are rare. However, with a sufficient number of metrics or particular nature of the data set, there might be a lot of collisions, all to be detected upon the first set of scrapes, and then the checkpointing after each detection will take a quite long time (it's O(n²), essentially). Since we are rebuilding the fingerprint mapping during crash recovery, the previous, very conservative approach didn't even buy us anything. We only ever read from the checkpoint file after a clean shutdown, so the only time we need to write the checkpoint file is during a clean shutdown.	9 years ago

beorn7	4b574e8a61	Switch chunk encoding to type 2 where it was hardcoded type 1 before The chunk encoding was hardcoded there because it mostly doesn't matter what encoding is chosen in that test. Since type 1 is battle-hardened enough, I'm switching to type 2 here so that we can catch unexpected problems as a byproduct. My expectation is that the chunk encoding doesn't matter anyway, as said, but then "unexpected problems" contains the word "unexpected".	9 years ago
beorn7	c72979e3ed	Remove a redundancy from Gorilla-style chunks So far, the last sample in a chunk was saved twice. That's required for adding more samples as we need to know the last sample added to add more samples without iterating through the whole chunk. However, once the last sample was added to the chunk before it's full, there is no need to save it twice. Thus, the very last sample added to a chunk can _only_ be saved in the header fields for the last sample. The chunk has to be identifiable as closed, then. This information has been added to the flags byte.	9 years ago
beorn7	b6dbb826ae	Improve fuzz testing and fix a bug exposed This improves fuzz testing in two ways: (1) More realistic time stamps. So far, the most common case in practice was very rare in the test: Completely regular increases of the timestamp. (2) Verify samples by scanning through the whole relevant section of the series. For Gorilla-like chunks, this showed two things: (1) With more regularly increasing time stamps, BenchmarkFuzz is essentially as fast as with the traditional chunks: ``` BenchmarkFuzzChunkType0-8 2 972514684 ns/op 83426196 B/op 2500044 allocs/op BenchmarkFuzzChunkType1-8 2 971478001 ns/op 82874660 B/op 2512364 allocs/op BenchmarkFuzzChunkType2-8 2 999339453 ns/op 76670636 B/op 2366116 allocs/op ``` (2) There was a bug related to when and how the chunk footer is overwritten to make use for the last sample. This wasn't exposed by random access as the last sample of a chunk is retrieved from the values in the header in that case.	9 years ago
beorn7	9d8fbbe822	Review improvements	9 years ago
beorn7	8cdced3850	Implement Gorilla-inspired chunk encoding This is not a verbatim implementation of the Gorilla encoding. First of all, it could not, even if we wanted, because Prometheus has a different chunking model (constant size, not constant time). Second, this adds a number of changes that improve the encoding in general or at least for the specific use case of Prometheus (and are partially only possible in the context of Prometheus). See comments in the code for details.	9 years ago

beorn7	47e3c90f9b	Clean up error propagation Only return an error where callers are doing something with it except simply logging and ignoring. All the errors touched in this commit flag the storage as dirty anyway, and that fact is logged anyway. So most of what is being removed here is just log spam. As discussed earlier, the class of errors that flags the storage as dirty signals fundamental corruption, no even bubbling up a one-time warning to the user (e.g. about incomplete results) isn't helping much because _anything_ happening in the storage has to be doubted from that point on (and in fact retroactively into the past, too). Flagging the storage dirty, and alerting on it (plus marking the state in the web UI) is the only way I can see right now. As a byproduct, I cleaned up the setDirty method a bit and improved the logged errors.	9 years ago

beorn7	836f1db04c	Improve MetricsForLabelMatchers WIP: This needs more tests. It now gets a from and through value, which it may opportunistically use to optimize the retrieval. With possible future range indices, this could be used in a very efficient way. This change merely applies some easy checks, which should nevertheless solve the use case of heavy rule evaluations on servers with a lot of series churn. Idea is the following: - Only archive series that are at least as old as the headChunkTimeout (which was already extremely unlikely to happen). - Then maintain a high watermark for the last archival, i.e. no archived series has a sample more recent than that watermark. - Any query that doesn't reach to a time before that watermark doesn't have to touch the archive index at all. (A production server at Soundcloud with the aforementioned series churn and heavy rule evaluations spends 50% of its CPU time in archive index lookups. Since rule evaluations usually only touch very recent values, most of those lookup should disappear with this change.) - Federation with a very broad label matcher will profit from this, too. As a byproduct, the un-needed MetricForFingerprint method was removed from the Storage interface.	9 years ago
