This is based on https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/pull/1997.
This adds contexts to the relevant Storage methods and already passes
PromQL's new per-query context into the storage's query methods.
The immediate motivation supporting multi-tenancy in Frankenstein, but
this could also be used by Prometheus's normal local storage to support
cancellations and timeouts at some point.
For Weaveworks' Frankenstein, we need to support multitenancy. In
Frankenstein, we initially solved this without modifying the promql
package at all: we constructed a new promql.Engine for every
query and injected a storage implementation into that engine which would
be primed to only collect data for a given user.
This is problematic to upstream, however. Prometheus assumes that there
is only one engine: the query concurrency gate is part of the engine,
and the engine contains one central cancellable context to shut down all
queries. Also, creating a new engine for every query seems like overkill.
Thus, we want to be able to pass per-query contexts into a single engine.
This change gets rid of the promql.Engine's built-in base context and
allows passing in a per-query context instead. Central cancellation of
all queries is still possible by deriving all passed-in contexts from
one central one, but this is now the responsibility of the caller. The
central query context is now created in main() and passed into the
relevant components (web handler / API, rule manager).
In a next step, the per-query context would have to be passed to the
storage implementation, so that the storage can implement multi-tenancy
or other features based on the contextual information.

The main idea is that the user of a storage shouldn't have to deal with
fingerprints anymore, and should not need to do an individual preload
call for each metric. The storage interface needs to be made more
high-level to not expose these details.
This also makes it easier to reuse the same storage interface for remote
storages later, as fewer roundtrips are required and the fingerprint
concept doesn't work well across the network.
NOTE: this deliberately gets rid of a small optimization in the old
query Analyzer, where we dedupe instants and ranges for the same series.
This should have a minor impact, as most queries do not have multiple
selectors loading the same series (and at the same offset).
Prometheus is Apache 2 licensed, and most source files have the
appropriate copyright license header, but some were missing it without
apparent reason. Correct that by adding it.
This commit removes the possibility to have multi-statement queries
which had no full support anyway. This makes the caller responsible
for multi-statement semantics.
Multiple tests are no longer timing-dependent.
A high number of concurrent queries can slow each other down
so that none of them is reasonbly responsive. This commit limits
the number of queries being concurrently executed.
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.
