This adds timers around several query-relevant code blocks. For now, the
query timer stats are only logged for queries initiated through the UI.
In other cases (rule evaluations), the stats are simply thrown away.
My hope is that this helps us understand where queries spend time,
especially in cases where they sometimes hang for unusual amounts of
time.
This commit adds telemetry for the Prometheus expression rule
evaluator, which will enable meta-Prometheus monitoring of customers
to ensure that no instance is falling behind in answering routine
queries.
A few other sundry simplifications are introduced, too.
Some users of GetMetricForFingerprint() end up modifying the returned metric
labelset. Since the memory storage's implementation of
GetMetricForFingerprint() returned a pointer to the metric (and maps are
reference types anyways), the external mutation propagated back into the memory
storage.
The fix is to make a copy of the metric before returning it.
This also removes the now obsolete scalar count() function and corrects the
expressions test naming (broken in
2202cd71c9 (L6R59))
so that the expression tests will actually run.
This commit drops the Storage interface and just replaces it with a
publicized TieredStorage type. Storage had been anticipated to be
used as a wrapper for testability but just was not used due to
practicality. Merely overengineered. My bad. Anyway, we will
eventually instantiate the TieredStorage dependencies in main.go and
pass them in for more intelligent lifecycle management.
These changes will pave the way for managing the curators without
Law of Demeter violations.
This makes the memory persistence the backing store for views and
adjusts the MetricPersistence interface accordingly. It also removes
unused Get* method implementations from the LevelDB persistence so they
don't need to be adapted to the new interface. In the future, we should
rethink these interfaces.
All staleness and interpolation handling is now removed from the storage
layer and will be handled only by the query layer in the future.
``Target`` will be refactored down the road to support various
nuanced endpoint types. Thusly incorporating the scheduling
behavior within it will be problematic. To that end, the scheduling
behavior has been moved into a separate assistance type to improve
conciseness and testability.
``make format`` was also run.
