Snappy should have been explicitly included in the runtime, for I
erroneously thought that LevelDB bundled this into its runtime as-is.
It turns out that this assumption is wrong, and I thought we had
Snappy compression support all-along.
Presently our use of LevelDB and its operating modes are hardcoded
into the storage stack. This pull request decouples this and
re-exposes this through flags. We can now perform benchmarking
and remedial tuning.
client_golang was updated to support full label-oriented telemetry,
which introduced interface incompatibilities with the previous
version of Prometheus. To alleviate this, a general fetching and
processing dispatching system has been created, which discriminates
and processes according to the version of input.
This implementation needs to be cleaned up considerably, but it
should hopefully provide some breathing room. Ultimately this will
be extracted out of the storage layer---specifically the LevelDB
hierarchy---to interface with a generic set of abstractions for a
storage system, but this will be where it remains for now.
The LevelDB stochastic tests could take a long time.
