The integral accumulator in the remote write sharding code is just a
second way of keeping track of the number of samples pending. Remove
integralAccumulator and use the samplesPending value we already
calculate to calculate the number of shards.
This has the added benefit of fixing a bug where the integralAccumulator
was not being initialized correctly due to not taking into account the
number of ticks being counted, causing the integralAccumulator initial
value to be off by an order of magnitude in some cases.

The WAL Watcher replays a checkpoint after it is created in order to
garbage collect series that no longer exist in the WAL. Currently the
garbage collection process is done serially with reading from the tip of
the WAL which can cause large delays in writing samples to remote
storage just after compaction occurs.
This also fixes a memory leak where dropped series are not cleaned up as
part of the SeriesReset process.

The desired shards calculation now properly keeps track of the rate of
pending samples, and uses the previously unused integralAccumulator to
adjust for missing information in the desired shards calculation.
Also, configure more capacity for each shard. The default 10 capacity
causes shards to block on each other while
sending remote requests. Default to a 500 sample capacity and explain in
the documentation that having more capacity will help throughput.

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

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.
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.
* Add config, HTTP Basic Auth and TLS support to the generic write path.
- Move generic write path configuration to the config file
- Factor out config.TLSConfig -> tlf.Config translation
- Support TLSConfig for generic remote storage
- Rename Run to Start, and make it non-blocking.
- Dedupe code in httputil for TLS config.
- Make remote queue metrics global.
By splitting the single queue into multiple queues and flushing each individual queue in serially (and all queues in parallel), we can guarantee to preserve the order of timestampsin samples sent to downstream systems.
This gives up on the idea to communicate throuh the Append() call (by
either not returning as it is now or returning an error as
suggested/explored elsewhere). Here I have added a Throttled() call,
which has the advantage that it can be called before a whole _batch_
of Append()'s. Scrapes will happen completely or not at all. Same for
rule group evaluations. That's a highly desired behavior (as discussed
elsewhere). The code is even simpler now as the whole ingestion buffer
could be removed.
Logging of throttled mode has been streamlined and will create at most
one message per minute.
This change is conceptually very simple, although the diff is large. It
switches logging from "github.com/golang/glog" to
"github.com/prometheus/log", while not actually changing any log
messages. V(1)-style logging has been changed to be log.Debug*().
The one central sample ingestion channel has caused a variety of
trouble. This commit removes it. Targets and rule evaluation call an
Append method directly now. To incorporate multiple storage backends
(like OpenTSDB), storage.Tee forks the Append into two different
appenders.
Note that the tsdb queue manager had its own queue anyway. It was a
queue after a queue... Much queue, so overhead...
Targets have their own little buffer (implemented as a channel) to
avoid stalling during an http scrape. But a new scrape will only be
started once the old one is fully ingested.
The contraption of three pipelined ingesters was removed. A Target is
an ingester itself now. Despite more logic in Target, things should be
less confusing now.
Also, remove lint and vet warnings in ast.go.
- Move CONTRIBUTORS.md to the more common AUTHORS.
- Added the required NOTICE file.
- Changed "Prometheus Team" to "The Prometheus Authors".
- Reverted the erroneous changes to the Apache License.
- Always spell out the time unit (e.g. milliseconds instead of ms).
- Remove "_total" from the names of metrics that are not counters.
- Make use of the "Namespace" and "Subsystem" fields in the options.
- Removed the "capacity" facet from all metrics about channels/queues.
These are all fixed via command line flags and will never change
during the runtime of a process. Also, they should not be part of
the same metric family. I have added separate metrics for the
capacity of queues as convenience. (They will never change and are
only set once.)
- I left "metric_disk_latency_microseconds" unchanged, although that
metric measures the latency of the storage device, even if it is not
a spinning disk. "SSD" is read by many as "solid state disk", so
it's not too far off. (It should be "solid state drive", of course,
but "metric_drive_latency_microseconds" is probably confusing.)
- Brian suggested to not mix "failure" and "success" outcome in the
same metric family (distinguished by labels). For now, I left it as
it is. We are touching some bigger issue here, especially as other
parts in the Prometheus ecosystem are following the same
principle. We still need to come to terms here and then change
things consistently everywhere.

Prometheus needs long-term storage. Since we don't have enough resources
to build our own timeseries storage from scratch ontop of Riak,
Cassandra or a similar distributed datastore at the moment, we're
planning on using OpenTSDB as long-term storage for Prometheus. It's
data model is roughly compatible with that of Prometheus, with some
caveats.
As a first step, this adds write-only replication from Prometheus to
OpenTSDB, with the following things worth noting:
1)
I tried to keep the integration lightweight, meaning that anything
related to OpenTSDB is isolated to its own package and only main knows
about it (essentially it tees all samples to both the existing storage
and TSDB). It's not touching the existing TieredStorage at all to avoid
more complexity in that area. This might change in the future,
especially if we decide to implement a read path for OpenTSDB through
Prometheus as well.
2)
Backpressure while sending to OpenTSDB is handled by simply dropping
samples on the floor when the in-memory queue of samples destined for
OpenTSDB runs full. Prometheus also only attempts to send samples once,
rather than implementing a complex retry algorithm. Thus, replication to
OpenTSDB is best-effort for now. If needed, this may be extended in the
future.
3)
Samples are sent in batches of limited size to OpenTSDB. The optimal
batch size, timeout parameters, etc. may need to be adjusted in the
future.
4)
OpenTSDB has different rules for legal characters in tag (label) values.
While Prometheus allows any characters in label values, OpenTSDB limits
them to a to z, A to Z, 0 to 9, -, _, . and /. Currently any illegal
characters in Prometheus label values are simply replaced by an
underscore. Especially when integrating OpenTSDB with the read path in
Prometheus, we'll need to reconsider this: either we'll need to
introduce the same limitations for Prometheus labels or escape/encode
illegal characters in OpenTSDB in such a way that they are fully
decodable again when reading through Prometheus, so that corresponding
timeseries in both systems match in their labelsets.
