This means that if there is no stale marker, only the usual staleness
delta (5m) applies.
It has occured to me that there is an oddity in the heurestic. It works
fine as long as you have 2 points within the last 5m, but breaks down
when the time window advances to the point where you have just 1 point.
Consider you had points at t=0 and t=10. With the heurestic it goes stale
at t=51, up until t=300. However from t=301 until t=310 we only
see the t=10 point and the series comes back to life. That is not
desirable.
I don't see a way to keep this form of heurestic working given this
issue, so thus I'm removing it.
* 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
The usage of govalidator is redundant with the call to url.Parse for
url validation. Removing it has the following benefits:
- The explicit error message is displayed instead of just a generic
valid/invalid message
- Slightly smaller code with one fewer external dependency
- Speed improvement by removing duplicate call to url.Parse (inside
govalidator.IsURL()
- Resolves issue #2717
The only potential drawback of removing govalidator is that certain
URLs will be considered valid which were previously invalid. For example:
- URLs with hostnames that start and/or end with an underscore (http://_example.com_)
- URLs with hostnames that contain some special characters (http://foo&*bar.org)
These are valid URIs according to RFC 3986 and valid domain names per RFC 2181,
however they are not valid hostnames per RFC 952.
This change loads the full symbol table when we open a persisted block
and allocates a string for each. This ensures that strings retrieved
through the index can be used after the block was closed.
Before we backed the strings by the mmap'd byte regions which would
segfault in this case.
Also remove an inconsistency in the disk format and move both offset
tables to the end (breaking change).
Clicking on a rule, either the name or the expression, opens the rule
result (or the corresponding expression, repsectively) in the
expression browser. This should by default happen in the console tab,
as, more often than not, displaying it in the graph tab runs into a
timeout.
