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.
A number of mostly minor things:
- Rename chunk type -> chunk encoding.
- After all, do not carry around the chunk encoding to all parts of
the system, but just have one place where the encoding for new
chunks is set based on the flag. The new approach has caveats as
well, but the polution of so many method signatures is worse.
- Use the default chunk encoding for new chunks of existing
series. (Previously, only new _series_ would get chunks with the
default encoding.)
- Use an enum for chunk encoding. (But keep the version number for the
flag, for reasons discussed previously.)
- Add encoding() to the chunk interface (so that a chunk knows its own
encoding - no need to have that in a different top-level function).
- Got rid of newFollowUpChunk (which would keep the existing encoding
for all chunks of a time series). Now only use newChunk(), which
will create a chunk encoding according to the flag.
- Simplified transcodeAndAdd.
- Reordered methods of deltaEncodedChunk and doubleDeltaEncoded chunk
to match the order in the chunk interface.
- Only transcode if the chunk is not yet half full. If more than half
full, add a new chunk instead.
For the Prometheus server, this fixes a bug where rules with a
right-hand-side that had a metric name would not correctly replace that
metric name with the left-hand side's rule name.
The current wording suggests that a target is not reachable at all,
although it might also get set when the target was reachable, but there
was some other error during the scrape (invalid headers or invalid
scrape content). UNHEALTHY is a more general wording that includes all
these cases.
For consistency, ALIVE is also renamed to HEALTHY.
As it looks, `godep update ...` will preserve the files.
Obviously, if you blow away everything and run a `godep save ...` from
scratch, those files will be missing again. A `godep save` to add new
dependencies without blowing away the `Godeps` directory should work
fine, though.
Unary expressions cause parsing errors if they are done in the lexer
by tokenizing them into the number.
This fix moves unary expressions to the parser.
This commits implements the OR operation between two vectors.
Vector matching using the ON clause is added to limit the set of
labels that define a match between two elements. Group modifiers
(GROUP_LEFT/GROUP_RIGHT) to request many-to-one matching are added.
This adds support for scientific notation in the expression language, as
well as for all possible literal forms of +Inf/-Inf/NaN.
TODO: Keep enough state in the parser/lexer to distinguish contexts in
which "Inf", "NaN", etc. should be parsed as a number vs. parsed as a
label name. Currently, foo{nan="bar"} would be a syntax error. However,
that is an existing bug for all our reserved words. E.g. foo{sum="bar"}
is a syntax error as well. This should be fixed separately.
