The histogram stats decoder keeps track of the last seen histogram sample
in order to properly detect counter resets. We are seeing an issue where
a histogram with UnknownResetHint gets treated as a counter reset when it follows
a stale histogram sample.
I believe that this is incorrect since stale samples should be completely ignored
in PromQL. As a result, they should not be stored in the histogram stats iterator
and the counter reset detection needs to be done against the last non-stale sample.

The RunBuiltinTests function accepts a concrete type which makes
it hard to exclude certain tests from the suite. It would be great
if we could skip tests which might not be critical in order to unblock
updates.
By accepting an interface instead, we can inject a custom implementation
which would skips select test cases.

Same idea as for the avg aggregator before: Most of the time, there is
no overflow, so we don't have to revert to the more expensive and less
precise incremental calculation of the mean value.
Signed-off-by: beorn7 <beorn@grafana.com>
The calculation of the mean value in avg_over_time is performed in an
incremental fashion. This introduces additional numerical errors that
even Kahan summation cannot compensate, but at least we can use the
Kahan-corrected mean value when we use the intermediate mean value in
the calculation.
Signed-off-by: beorn7 <beorn@grafana.com>
The basic idea here is that the previous code was always doing
incremental calculation of the mean value, which is more costly and
can be less precise. It protects against overflows, but in most cases,
an overflow doesn't happen anyway.
The other idea applied here is to expand on #14074, where Kahan
summation was applied to sum().
With this commit, the average is calculated in a conventional way
(adding everything up and divide in the end) as long as the sum isn't
overflowing float64. This is combined with Kahan summation so that the
avg aggregation, in most cases, is really equivalent to the sum
aggregation with a following division (which is the user's expectation
as avg is supposed to be syntactic sugar for sum with a following
divison).
If the sum hits ±Inf, the calculation reverts to incremental
calculation of the mean value. Kahan summation is also applied here,
although it cannot fully compensate for the numerical errors
introduced by the incremental mean calculation. (The tests added in
this commit would fail if incremental mean calculation was always
used.)

Implement histogram statistics decoder
This commit speeds up histogram_count and histogram_sum
functions on native histograms. The idea is to have separate decoders which can be
used by the engine to only read count/sum values from histogram objects. This should help
with reducing allocations when decoding histograms, as well as with speeding up aggregations
like sum since they will be done on floats and not on histogram objects.

The function `rangeEvalTimestampFunctionOverVectorSelector` appeared to be checking histogram size, however the value it used was always 0 due to subtle variable shadowing.
However we don't need to pass sample values to the `timestamp` function, since the latter only cares about timestamps. This also affects peak sample count in statistics, since we are no longer copying histogram samples.

The check fell into "this matcher equals vector selector's name" case when vector selector doesn't have a name and the matcher is an explicit matcher for an empty __name__ label.
To provide some context about why this is important: some downstream projects use the promql.Parse(expr.String()) to clone an expression's AST, and with this bug that matcher disappears in the cloning.

The size of histogram points are now bigger by 24 bytes due to the

When histograms are loaded into partial results in vector selectors

When histograms are put into Sample type in range evaluations, the
Sample has more overhead and the size is calculated differently:
(size of histogram / 16) + 1 for time stamp.
a3d1a46eda/promql/engine.go (L1928)
When the size of the histogram is 16k, then the first calculation gives k
but the second gives k+1 for the sample count.
If the histogram size is 16k+8, then both would give k+1.

This is a bit tough to explain, but I'll try:
`rate` & friends have a sophisticated extrapolation algorithm.
Usually, we extrapolate the result to the total interval specified in
the range selector. However, if the first sample within the range is
too far away from the beginning of the interval, or if the last sample
within the range is too far away from the end of the interval, we
assume the series has just started half a sampling interval before the
first sample or after the last sample, respectively, and shorten the
extrapolation interval correspondingly. We calculate the sampling
interval by looking at the average time between samples within the
range, and we define "too far away" as "more than 110% of that
sampling interval".
However, if this algorithm leads to an extrapolated starting value
that is negative, we limit the start of the extrapolation interval to
the point where the extrapolated starting value is zero.
At least that was the intention.
What we actually implemented is the following: If extrapolating all
the way to the beginning of the total interval would lead to an
extrapolated negative value, we would only extrapolate to the zero
point as above, even if the algorithm above would have selected a
starting point that is just half a sampling interval before the first
sample and that starting point would not have an extrapolated negative
value. In other word: What was meant as a _limitation_ of the
extrapolation interval yielded a _longer_ extrapolation interval in
this case.
There is an exception to the case just described: If the increase of
the extrapolation interval is more than 110% of the sampling interval,
we suddenly drop back to only extrapolate to half a sampling interval.
This behavior can be nicely seen in the testcounter_zero_cutoff test,
where the rate goes up all the way to 0.7 and then jumps back to 0.6.
This commit changes the behavior to what was (presumably) intended
from the beginning: The extension of the extrapolation interval is
only limited if actually needed to prevent extrapolation to negative
values, but the "limitation" never leads to _more_ extrapolation
anymore.
The difference is subtle, and probably it never bothered anyone.
However, if you calculate a rate of a classic histograms, the old
behavior might create non-monotonic histograms as a result (because of
the jumps you can see nicely in the old version of the
testcounter_zero_cutoff test). With this fix, that doesn't happen
anymore.

Fixes#11708.
If a range vector is fixen in time with the @ modifier, it gets still
moved around for different steps in a range query. Since no additional
points are retrieved from the TSDB, this leads to steadily emptying
the range, leading to the weird behavior described in isse #11708.
This only happens for functions listed in `AtModifierUnsafeFunctions`,
and the only of those that takes a range vector is `predict_linear`,
which is the reason why we see it only for this particular function.

Optimize histogram iterators
Histogram iterators allocate new objects in the AtHistogram and
AtFloatHistogram methods, which makes calculating rates over long
ranges expensive.
In #13215 we allowed an existing object to be reused
when converting an integer histogram to a float histogram. This commit follows
the same idea and allows injecting an existing object in the AtHistogram and
AtFloatHistogram methods. When the injected value is nil, iterators allocate
new histograms, otherwise they populate and return the injected object.
The commit also adds a CopyTo method to Histogram and FloatHistogram which
is used in the BufferedIterator to overwrite items in the ring instead of making
new copies.
Note that a specialized HPoint pool is needed for all of this to work
(`matrixSelectorHPool`).

In https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/pull/13276 we started reusing float histogram objects to reduce allocations in PromQL.
That PR introduces a bug where histogram pointers gets copied to the beginning of the histograms slice,
but are still kept in the end of the slice. When a new histogram is read into the last element,
it can overwrite a previous element because the pointer is the same.
This commit fixes the issue by moving outdated points to the end of the slice
so that we don't end up with duplicate pointers in the same buffer. In other words,
the slice gets rotated so that old objects can get reused.
