Since `/api/v1/write` is a mutating endpoint, we should still activate
the remote-write-receiver explicitly. But we should do it in the same
way as the other mutating endpoints, i.e. via a flag
`--web.enable-remote-write-receiver`.
This commit marks the feature flag as deprecated, i.e. it still works
but logs a warning on startup. This enables users to seamlessly
migrate. With the next minor release, we can start ignoring the
feature flag (but still warn a user that is trying to use it).

This commit adds a `--syntax-only` flag for `promtool check config`.
When passing in this flag, promtool will omit various file existence
checks that would cause the check to fail (e.g. the check would not
fail if `rule_files` files don't exist at their respective paths).
This functionality will allow CI systems to check the syntax of
configs without worrying about referenced files.

- Pick At... method via return value of Next/Seek.
- Do not clobber returned buckets.
- Add partial FloatHistogram suppert.
Note that the promql package is now _only_ dealing with
FloatHistograms, following the idea that PromQL only knows float
values.
As a byproduct, I have removed the histogramSeries metric. In my
understanding, series can have both float and histogram samples, so
that metric doesn't make sense anymore.
As another byproduct, I have converged the sampleBuf and the
histogramSampleBuf in memSeries into one. The sample type stored in
the sampleBuf has been extended to also contain histograms even before
this commit.

* TSDB: demistify seriesRefs and ChunkRefs
The TSDB package contains many types of series and chunk references,
all shrouded in uint types. Often the same uint value may
actually mean one of different types, in non-obvious ways.
This PR aims to clarify the code and help navigating to relevant docs,
usage, etc much quicker.
Concretely:
* Use appropriately named types and document their semantics and
relations.
* Make multiplexing and demuxing of types explicit
(on the boundaries between concrete implementations and generic
interfaces).
* Casting between different types should be free. None of the changes
should have any impact on how the code runs.

* Initial draft of prometheus-agent
This commit introduces a new binary, prometheus-agent, based on the
Grafana Agent code. It runs a WAL-only version of prometheus without the
TSDB, alerting, or rule evaluations. It is intended to be used to
remote_write to Prometheus or another remote_write receiver.
By default, prometheus-agent will listen on port 9095 to not collide
with the prometheus default of 9090.
Truncation of the WAL cooperates on a best-effort case with Remote
Write. Every time the WAL is truncated, the minimum timestamp of data to
truncate is determined by the lowest sent timestamp of all samples
across all remote_write endpoints. This gives loose guarantees that data
from the WAL will not try to be removed until the maximum sample
lifetime passes or remote_write starts functionining.

A lot of this code was hacked together, literally during a
hackathon. This commit intends not to change the code substantially,
but just make the code obey the usual style practices.
A (possibly incomplete) list of areas:
* Generally address linter warnings.
* The `pgk` directory is deprecated as per dev-summit. No new packages should
be added to it. I moved the new `pkg/histogram` package to `model`
anticipating what's proposed in #9478.
* Make the naming of the Sparse Histogram more consistent. Including
abbreviations, there were just too many names for it: SparseHistogram,
Histogram, Histo, hist, his, shs, h. The idea is to call it "Histogram" in
general. Only add "Sparse" if it is needed to avoid confusion with
conventional Histograms (which is rare because the TSDB really has no notion
of conventional Histograms). Use abbreviations only in local scope, and then
really abbreviate (not just removing three out of seven letters like in
"Histo"). This is in the spirit of
https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/CodeReviewComments#variable-names
* Several other minor name changes.
* A lot of formatting of doc comments. For one, following
https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/CodeReviewComments#comment-sentences
, but also layout question, anticipating how things will look like
when rendered by `godoc` (even where `godoc` doesn't render them
right now because they are for unexported types or not a doc comment
at all but just a normal code comment - consistency is queen!).
* Re-enabled `TestQueryLog` and `TestEndopints` (they pass now,
leaving them disabled was presumably an oversight).
* Bucket iterator for histogram.Histogram is now created with a
method.
* HistogramChunk.iterator now allows iterator recycling. (I think
@dieterbe only commented it out because he was confused by the
question in the comment.)
* HistogramAppender.Append panics now because we decided to treat
staleness marker differently.

* Allow to tune the scrape tolerance
In most of the classic monitoring use cases, a few milliseconds
difference can be omitted.
In Prometheus, a few millisecond difference can however make a big
difference.
Currently, Prometheus will ignore up to 2 ms difference in the
alignments.
It turns out that for users who can afford a 10ms difference, there is a
lot of resources and disk space to win, as shown in this graph, which
shows the bytes / samples over a production Prometheus server. You can
clearly see the switch from 2ms to 10ms tolerance.
This pull request enables the adjustment of the scrape timestamp
alignment tolerance.

When using the backfill command to add data to an ephemeral/test
Prometheus instance, it is not important to see which data was added as
it is often generated ahead of time and mostly irrelevant to the
use-case. The current approach prints information about each block that
is written, but does so in a generally inefficient and costly manner.

behavior.

When printing the error, we still need access to the mmapped byte array
of the file. Therefore, we make sure that we run it before closing the
file.
I could have done something more complex like a defer, or not closing
the file, knowing that we would exit the program anyway. However, I
think that in case we extend this in the future, or this is copy/paster
elsewhere, we should continue closing the file. As it is small enough, I
went for the solution to call the function 3 times instead of playing
with a defer.

This commit adds `@ <timestamp>` modifier as per this design doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uSbD3T2beM-iX4-Hp7V074bzBRiRNlqUdcWP6JTDQSs/edit.
An example query:
```
rate(process_cpu_seconds_total[1m])
and
topk(7, rate(process_cpu_seconds_total[1h] @ 1234))
```
which ranks based on last 1h rate and w.r.t. unix timestamp 1234 but actually plots the 1m rate.

* Backfilling: optimize for non-consecutive blocks
When you have missing data for > 2 hours, you spend a lot of time
re-reading the complete file. It is not optimal.
This introduces a fastpath for this scenario.
Next, we do parse the metric even when we know we will not use it, based
on its timestamp. This only computes the metric when we know its
timestamp is right.

I initially thought I could somehow rescue the current column layout
by recycling the tabwriter, but flushing completely blanks
it. However, by setting a minimum width of 13, we get a slightly
broader DURATION column but otherwise nice formatting, unless numbers
get really big, but that's OK, I guess.

In #7399, an early validity check of the config was introduced to
prevent the scenario where an invalid config is only detected after a
possibly very long startup procedure. However, the respective success
metrics are not updated after the initial validation so that the
success metrics suggest an invalid config. If the startup procedure,
like replaying the WAL, really takes very long, alerts about invalid
config will trigger.
This commit sets the succes metrics after initial validation. They
will be set again after the "real" config (re-)load, but that
shouldn't be a problem. The metric now truthfully represents whenever
the config was successfully loaded, no matter if the result was then
thrown away (because it was just for validation) or actually used.

* promql: Removed global and add ability to have better interval for subqueries if not specified
## Changes
* Refactored tests for better hints testing
* Added various TODO in places to enhance.
* Moved DefaultEvalInterval global to opts with func(rangeMillis int64) int64 function instead
Motivation: At Thanos we would love to have better control over the subqueries step/interval.
This is important to choose proper resolution. I think having proper step also does not harm for
Prometheus and remote read users. Especially on stateless querier we do not know evaluation interval
and in fact putting global can be wrong to assume for Prometheus even.
I think ideally we could try to have at least 3 samples within the range, the same
way Prometheus UI and Grafana assumes.
Anyway this interfaces allows to decide on promQL user basis.
Open question: Is taking parent interval a smart move?
Motivation for removing global: I spent 1h fighting with:
=== RUN TestEvaluations
TestEvaluations: promql_test.go:31: unexpected error: error evaluating query "absent_over_time(rate(nonexistant[5m])[5m:])" (line 687): unexpected error: runtime error: integer divide by zero
--- FAIL: TestEvaluations (0.32s)
FAIL
At the end I found that this fails on most of the versions including this master if you run this test alone. If run together with many
other tests it passes. This is due to SetDefaultEvaluationInterval(1 * time.Minute)
in test that is ran before TestEvaluations. Thanks to globals (:
Let's fix it by dropping this global.

When appending to the head and a chunk is full it is flushed to the disk and m-mapped (memory mapped) to free up memory
Prom startup now happens in these stages
- Iterate the m-maped chunks from disk and keep a map of series reference to its slice of mmapped chunks.
- Iterate the WAL as usual. Whenever we create a new series, look for it's mmapped chunks in the map created before and add it to that series.
If a head chunk is corrupted the currpted one and all chunks after that are deleted and the data after the corruption is recovered from the existing WAL which means that a corruption in m-mapped files results in NO data loss.
[Mmaped chunks format](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/blob/master/tsdb/docs/format/head_chunks.md) - main difference is that the chunk for mmaping now also includes series reference because there is no index for mapping series to chunks.
[The block chunks](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/blob/master/tsdb/docs/format/chunks.md) are accessed from the index which includes the offsets for the chunks in the chunks file - example - chunks of series ID have offsets 200, 500 etc in the chunk files.
In case of mmaped chunks, the offsets are stored in memory and accessed from that. During WAL replay, these offsets are restored by iterating all m-mapped chunks as stated above by matching the series id present in the chunk header and offset of that chunk in that file.

Since we use ActiveQueryTracker to check for concurrency in
d992c36b3a it does not make sense to keep
the MaxConcurrent value as an option of the PromQL engine.
This pull request removes it from the PromQL engine options, sets the
max concurrent metric to -1 if there is no active query tracker, and use
the value of the active query tracker otherwise.
It removes dead code and also will inform people who import the promql

This change makes sure that nearly-identical Alertmanager configurations
aren't merged together.
The config's identifier was the MD5 hash of the configuration serialized
to JSON but because `relabel.Regexp` has no public field and doesn't
implement the JSON.Marshaler interface, it was always serialized to
"{}".
In practice, the identifier can be based on the index of the

* Add time units to storage.tsdb.retention.size flag
In an effort to reduce confusion with the `m` option of the
`ParseDuration()` function, this commit adds the available time units to
the `storage.tsdb.retention.time` flag to help showcase that there is no
option for months (which could be assumed to be `m`).
If someone were looking to set the retention to six months, they may
mistakenly do so with `6m`, which would reduce their retention to six
minutes.

Queries are written concurrently to an mmaped file, and removed once they are done. Their positions in the file are reused. They are written in json format. However, due to dynamic nature of application, the json has an extra comma after the last query, and is missing an ending ']'. There may also null bytes in the tail of file.

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

Add WALSegmentSize as an option, and the corresponding flag "storage.tsdb.wal-segment-size" to tune the max size of wal segment files.
The addressed base problem is to reduce the disk space used by wal segment files : on a raspberry pi, for instance, we often want to reduce write load of the sd card, then, the wal directory is mounted on a memory (space limited) partition.
the default value of the segment max file size, pushed the size of directory to 128 MB for each segment , which is too much ram consumption on a rasp.
