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
package that we made that change, as it breaks the EngineOpts struct.

Fixes#6649.
The crash is fixed here, was caused because some AST sanity checks were performed on the syntax tree while assembling it. In case of previous parsing errors this could lead to undefined behaviour.
The fix is to move the checks to the typechecking phase, which runs only when a syntax tree was assembled without there being parsing errors.
There are other places, where similiar checks are performed while assembling the syntax tree. It might be a good idea to move those to the typechecking phase, too. Should I do this in the same or a separate PR?

* PromQL: Use a sync.Pool for the generated parser structure
The generated PromQL parser allocates a struct about 4kb in size on every run.
This puts a high load on the garbage collector.
To reduce that load, a sync.Pool is used to recycle these structures.
On small queries this makes parsing 2-3 times faster.

* promql: Allow injecting fake tokens into the generated parser
Yacc grammars do not support having multiple start symbols.
To work around that restriction, it is possible to inject fake tokens into the lexer stream,
as described here https://www.gnu.org/software/bison/manual/html_node/Multiple-start_002dsymbols.html .
This is part of the parser rewrite effort described in #6256.
Signed-off-by: Tobias Guggenmos <tguggenm@redhat.com>
For yacc generated parsers there is the convention to capitalize the names of item types provided by the lexer, which makes it easy to distinct lexer tokens (capitalized) from nonterminal symbols (not capitalized) in language grammars.
This convention is also followed by the (non generated) go compiler (see https://golang.org/pkg/go/token/#Token).
Part of the parser rewrite described in #6256.
Signed-off-by: Tobias Guggenmos <tguggenm@redhat.com>
This is the first step towards a generated lexer as described in #6256.
It adds methods to the parser struct, that make it implement the yyLexer interface required by a yacc generated parser, as described here: https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goyacc .
The yyLexer interface is implemented by the parser struct instead of the lexer struct for the following reasons:
* Both parsers have a lookahead that the lexer does not know about. This solution makes it possible to synchronize these lookaheads when switching parsers.
* The routines to handle parser errors are not accessible to the lexer.

* promql: Clean up parser struct
The parser struct used two have two somewhat misused fields:
peekCount int
token [3]item
By reading the code carefully one notices, that peekCount always has the value 0 or 1 and that only the first element of token is ever accessed.
To make this clearer, this commit replaces the token array with a single variable and the peekCount int with a boolean.
Signed-off-by: Tobias Guggenmos <tguggenm@redhat.com>
Before this commit, the PromQL parser ran in two goroutines:
* The lexer goroutine that splits the input into tokens and sent them over a channel to
* the parser goroutine which produces the abstract syntax tree
The Problem with this approach is that the parser spends more time on goroutine creation
and syncronisation than on actual parsing.
This commit removes that concurrency and replaces the channel by a slice based buffer.
Benchmarks show that this makes the up to 7 times faster than before.

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.

* Expose lexer item types
We have generally agreed to expose AST types / values that are necessary
to make sense of the AST outside of the promql package. Currently the
`UnaryExpr`, `BinaryExpr`, and `AggregateExpr` AST nodes store the lexer
item type to indicate the operator type, but since the individual item
types aren't exposed, an external user of the package cannot determine
the operator type. So this PR exposes them.
Although not all item types are required to make sense of the AST (some
are really only used in the lexer), I decided to expose them all here to
be somewhat more consistent. Another option would be to not use lexer
item types at all in AST nodes.
The concrete motivation is my work on the PromQL->Flux transpiler, but
this ought to be useful for other cases as well.

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.

With the squaring of the timestamp, we run into the
limitations of the 53bit mantissa for a 64bit float.
By subtracting away a timestamp of one of the samples (which is how the

that it is used over a very long time range.

So currently we are adding values that are in the future for an older

To cover the cases where stale markers may not be available,
we need to infer the interval and mark series stale based on that.
As we're lacking stale markers this is less accurate, however
it should be good enough for these cases.
We need 4 intervals as if say we had data at t=0 and t=10,
coming via federation. The next data point should be at t=20 however it
could take up to t=30 for it actually to be ingested, t=40 for it to be
scraped via federation and t=50 for it to be ingested.
We then add 10% on to that for slack, as we do elsewhere.
For instant vectors, if "stale" is the newest sample
ignore the timeseries.
For range vectors, filter out "stale" samples.
Make it possible to inject "stale" samples in promql tests.
Query and query_range should return the timestamp
at which an evaluation is performed, not the timestamp
of the data. This is as that's what query range asked
for, and we need to keep query consistent with that.
Query for a matrix remains unchanged, returning the literal
matrix.
Make the timestamp of instant vectors be the timestamp of the sample
rather than the evaluation. We were not using this anywhere, so this is
safe.
Add a function to return the timestamp of samples in an instant vector.
Fixes#1557
* Use request.Context() instead of a global map of contexts.
* Add some basic opentracing instrumentation on the query path.
* Remove tracehandler endpoint.
* Force buckets in a histogram to be monotonic for quantile estimation
The assumption that bucket counts increase monotonically with increasing
upperBound may be violated during:
* Recording rule evaluation of histogram_quantile, especially when rate()
has been applied to the underlying bucket timeseries.
* Evaluation of histogram_quantile computed over federated bucket
timeseries, especially when rate() has been applied
This is because scraped data is not made available to RR evalution or
federation atomically, so some buckets are computed with data from the N
most recent scrapes, but the other buckets are missing the most recent
observations.
Monotonicity is usually guaranteed because if a bucket with upper bound
u1 has count c1, then any bucket with a higher upper bound u > u1 must
have counted all c1 observations and perhaps more, so that c >= c1.
Randomly interspersed partial sampling breaks that guarantee, and rate()
exacerbates it. Specifically, suppose bucket le=1000 has a count of 10 from
4 samples but the bucket with le=2000 has a count of 7, from 3 samples. The
monotonicity is broken. It is exacerbated by rate() because under normal
operation, cumulative counting of buckets will cause the bucket counts to
diverge such that small differences from missing samples are not a problem.
rate() removes this divergence.)
bucketQuantile depends on that monotonicity to do a binary search for the
bucket with the qth percentile count, so breaking the monotonicity
guarantee causes bucketQuantile() to return undefined (nonsense) results.
As a somewhat hacky solution until the Prometheus project is ready to
accept the changes required to make scrapes atomic, we calculate the
"envelope" of the histogram buckets, essentially removing any decreases
in the count between successive buckets.
* Fix up comment docs for ensureMonotonic
* ensureMonotonic: Use switch statement
Use switch statement rather than if/else for better readability.
Process the most frequent cases first.
* Add max concurrent and current queries engine metrics
This commit adds two metrics to the promql/engine: the
number of max concurrent queries, as configured by the flag, and
the number of current queries being served+blocked in the engine.
This extracts Querier as an instantiateable and closeable object
rather than just defining extending methods of the storage interface.
This improves composability and allows abstracting query transactions,
which can be useful for transaction-level caches, consistent data views,
and encapsulating teardown.
This is based on https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/pull/1997.
This adds contexts to the relevant Storage methods and already passes
PromQL's new per-query context into the storage's query methods.
The immediate motivation supporting multi-tenancy in Frankenstein, but
this could also be used by Prometheus's normal local storage to support
cancellations and timeouts at some point.
For Weaveworks' Frankenstein, we need to support multitenancy. In
Frankenstein, we initially solved this without modifying the promql
package at all: we constructed a new promql.Engine for every
query and injected a storage implementation into that engine which would
be primed to only collect data for a given user.
This is problematic to upstream, however. Prometheus assumes that there
is only one engine: the query concurrency gate is part of the engine,
and the engine contains one central cancellable context to shut down all
queries. Also, creating a new engine for every query seems like overkill.
Thus, we want to be able to pass per-query contexts into a single engine.
This change gets rid of the promql.Engine's built-in base context and
allows passing in a per-query context instead. Central cancellation of
all queries is still possible by deriving all passed-in contexts from
one central one, but this is now the responsibility of the caller. The
central query context is now created in main() and passed into the
relevant components (web handler / API, rule manager).
In a next step, the per-query context would have to be passed to the
storage implementation, so that the storage can implement multi-tenancy
or other features based on the contextual information.
The current separation between lexer and parser is a bit fuzzy when it
comes to operators, aggregators and other keywords. The lexer already
tries to determine the type of a token, even though that type might
change depending on the context.
This led to the problematic behavior that no tokens known to the lexer
could be used as label names, including operators (and, by, ...),
aggregators (count, quantile, ...) or other keywords (for, offset, ...).
This change additionally checks whether an identifier is one of these
types. We might want to check whether the specific item identification
should be moved from the lexer to the parser.
As described in #1898 'go test -race' detects a race in lexer code. This
pacth fixes it and also add '-race' option to test target to prevent
regression.
This was only relevant so far for the benchmark suite as it would
recycle Expr for repetitions. However, the append is unnecessary as
each node is only inspected once when populating iterators, and
population must always start from scratch.
This also introduces error checking during benchmarks and fixes the so
far undetected test errors during benchmarking.
Also, remove a style nit (two golint warnings less…).

The main idea is that the user of a storage shouldn't have to deal with
fingerprints anymore, and should not need to do an individual preload
call for each metric. The storage interface needs to be made more
high-level to not expose these details.
This also makes it easier to reuse the same storage interface for remote
storages later, as fewer roundtrips are required and the fingerprint
concept doesn't work well across the network.
NOTE: this deliberately gets rid of a small optimization in the old
query Analyzer, where we dedupe instants and ranges for the same series.
This should have a minor impact, as most queries do not have multiple
selectors loading the same series (and at the same offset).
tl;dr: This is not a fundamental solution to the indexing problem
(like tindex is) but it at least avoids utilizing the intersection
problem to the greatest possible amount.
In more detail:
Imagine the following query:
nicely:aggregating:rule{job="foo",env="prod"}
While it uses a nicely aggregating recording rule (which might have a
very low cardinality), Prometheus still intersects the low number of
fingerprints for `{__name__="nicely:aggregating:rule"}` with the many
thousands of fingerprints matching `{job="foo"}` and with the millions
of fingerprints matching `{env="prod"}`. This totally innocuous query
is dead slow if the Prometheus server has a lot of time series with
the `{env="prod"}` label. Ironically, if you make the query more
complicated, it becomes blazingly fast:
nicely:aggregating:rule{job=~"foo",env=~"prod"}
Why so? Because Prometheus only intersects with non-Equal matchers if
there are no Equal matchers. That's good in this case because it
retrieves the few fingerprints for
`{__name__="nicely:aggregating:rule"}` and then starts right ahead to
retrieve the metric for those FPs and checking individually if they
match the other matchers.
This change is generalizing the idea of when to stop intersecting FPs
and go into "retrieve metrics and check them individually against
remaining matchers" mode:
- First, sort all matchers by "expected cardinality". Matchers
matching the empty string are always worst (and never used for
intersections). Equal matchers are in general consider best, but by
using some crude heuristics, we declare some better than others
(instance labels or anything that looks like a recording rule).
- Then go through the matchers until we hit a threshold of remaining
FPs in the intersection. This threshold is higher if we are already
in the non-Equal matcher area as intersection is even more expensive
here.
- Once the threshold has been reached (or we have run out of matchers
that do not match the empty string), start with "retrieve metrics
and check them individually against remaining matchers".
A beefy server at SoundCloud was spending 67% of its CPU time in index
lookups (fingerprintsForLabelPairs), serving mostly a dashboard that
is exclusively built with recording rules. With this change, it spends
only 35% in fingerprintsForLabelPairs. The CPU usage dropped from 26
cores to 18 cores. The median latency for query_range dropped from 14s
to 50ms(!). As expected, higher percentile latency didn't improve that
much because the new approach is _occasionally_ running into the worst
case while the old one was _systematically_ doing so. The 99th
percentile latency is now about as high as the median before (14s)
while it was almost twice as high before (26s).
When converting `AlertStmt` to a string, the alert rule labels were
printed as `ANNOTATIONS` instead of the annotations themselves.
Fix and add a test to catch future regressions.
This offers new semantics in allowing on() for matching
two single-element vectors with no known common labels.
Previosuly this was often done using on(dummy).
This also allows making it explict that you meant
to do an aggregation without labels via by().
Fixes#1597.
PromQL only requires a much narrower interface than local.Storage in
order to run queries. Narrower interfaces are easier to replace and
test, too.
We could also change the web interface to use local.Querier, except that
we'll probably use appending functions from there in the future.
Currently the printer doesn't print the annotations of an `*AlertStmt`
declaration. I've added a test case as well, which fails for the current
master.
Since rule evaluations work via String(), this fixes evaluation of
rules containing GROUP_x modifiers without labels. This change is the
minimal bugfix (so that we can release a fixed version without
risk). It does not intend to implement any additional features (like
allowing `GROUP_LEFT()` or `ON()` or even `ON` - see discussion in
https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/1597 ).
If the label doesn't exist on the one side, it's not copied.
All labels on the many inside are included, this is a breaking change
but likely low impact.
The labels listed in the group_ modifier will be copied from the one
side to the many side. It will be valid to specify no labels.
This is intended to replace the existing ON/GROUP_* support.,
Prometheus is Apache 2 licensed, and most source files have the
appropriate copyright license header, but some were missing it without
apparent reason. Correct that by adding it.
The `unless` set operator can be used to return all vector elements from
the LHS which do not match the elements on the RHS. A use case is to
return all metrics for nodes which do not have a specific role:
node_load1 unless on(instance) chef_role{role="app"}
The chunk encoding was hardcoded there because it mostly doesn't
matter what encoding is chosen in that test. Since type 1 is
battle-hardened enough, I'm switching to type 2 here so that we can
catch unexpected problems as a byproduct. My expectation is that the
chunk encoding doesn't matter anyway, as said, but then "unexpected
problems" contains the word "unexpected".
WIP: This needs more tests.
It now gets a from and through value, which it may opportunistically
use to optimize the retrieval. With possible future range indices,
this could be used in a very efficient way. This change merely applies
some easy checks, which should nevertheless solve the use case of
heavy rule evaluations on servers with a lot of series churn.
Idea is the following:
- Only archive series that are at least as old as the headChunkTimeout
(which was already extremely unlikely to happen).
- Then maintain a high watermark for the last archival, i.e. no
archived series has a sample more recent than that watermark.
- Any query that doesn't reach to a time before that watermark doesn't
have to touch the archive index at all. (A production server at
Soundcloud with the aforementioned series churn and heavy rule
evaluations spends 50% of its CPU time in archive index
lookups. Since rule evaluations usually only touch very recent
values, most of those lookup should disappear with this change.)
- Federation with a very broad label matcher will profit from this,
too.
As a byproduct, the un-needed MetricForFingerprint method was removed
from the Storage interface.
This requires all the panic calls upon unexpected data to be converted
into errors returned. This pollute the function signatures quite
lot. Well, this is Go...
The ideas behind this are the following:
- panic only if it's a programming error. Data corruptions happen, and
they are not programming errors.
- If we detect a data corruption, we "quarantine" the series,
essentially removing it from the database and putting its data into
a separate directory for forensics.
- Failure during writing to a series file is not considered corruption
automatically. It will call setDirty, though, so that a
crashrecovery upon the next restart will commence and check for
that.
- Series quarantining and setDirty calls are logged and counted in
metrics, but are hidden from the user of the interfaces in
interface.go, whith the notable exception of Append(). The reasoning
is that we treat corruption by removing the corrupted series, i.e. a
query for it will return no results on its next call anyway, so
return no results right now. In the case of Append(), we want to
tell the user that no data has been appended, though.
Minor side effects:
- Now consistently using filepath.* instead of path.*.
- Introduced structured logging where I touched it. This makes things
less consistent, but a complete change to structured logging would
be out of scope for this PR.
Fixes https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/1401
This remove the last (and in fact bogus) use of BoundaryValues.
Thus, a whole lot of unused (and arguably sub-optimal / ugly) code can
be removed here, too.
In a way, our instants were also ranges, just with the staleness delta
as range length. They are no treated equally, just that in one case,
the range length is set as range, in the other the staleness
delta. However, there are "real" instants where start and and time of
a query is the same. In those cases, we only want to return a single
value (the one closest before or at the equal start and end time). If
that value is the last sample in the series, odds are we have it
already in the series object. In that case, there is no need to pin or
load any chunks. A special singleSampleSeriesIterator is created for
that. This should greatly speed up instant queries as they happen
frequently for rule evaluations.
This will fix issue #1035 and will also help to make issue #1264 less
bad.
The fundamental problem in the current code:
In the preload phase, we quite accurately determine which chunks will
be used for the query being executed. However, in the subsequent step
of creating series iterators, the created iterators are referencing
_all_ in-memory chunks in their series, even the un-pinned ones. In
iterator creation, we copy a pointer to each in-memory chunk of a
series into the iterator. While this creates a certain amount of
allocation churn, the worst thing about it is that copying the chunk
pointer out of the chunkDesc requires a mutex acquisition. (Remember
that the iterator will also reference un-pinned chunks, so we need to
acquire the mutex to protect against concurrent eviction.) The worst
case happens if a series doesn't even contain any relevant samples for
the query time range. We notice that during preloading but then we
will still create a series iterator for it. But even for series that
do contain relevant samples, the overhead is quite bad for instant
queries that retrieve a single sample from each series, but still go
through all the effort of series iterator creation. All of that is
particularly bad if a series has many in-memory chunks.
This commit addresses the problem from two sides:
First, it merges preloading and iterator creation into one step,
i.e. the preload call returns an iterator for exactly the preloaded
chunks.
Second, the required mutex acquisition in chunkDesc has been greatly
reduced. That was enabled by a side effect of the first step, which is
that the iterator is only referencing pinned chunks, so there is no
risk of concurrent eviction anymore, and chunks can be accessed
without mutex acquisition.
To simplify the code changes for the above, the long-planned change of
ValueAtTime to ValueAtOrBefore time was performed at the same
time. (It should have been done first, but it kind of accidentally
happened while I was in the middle of writing the series iterator
changes. Sorry for that.) So far, we actively filtered the up to two
values that were returned by ValueAtTime, i.e. we invested work to
retrieve up to two values, and then we invested more work to throw one
of them away.
The SeriesIterator.BoundaryValues method can be removed once #1401 is
fixed. But I really didn't want to load even more changes into this
PR.
Benchmarks:
The BenchmarkFuzz.* benchmarks run 83% faster (i.e. about six times
faster) and allocate 95% fewer bytes. The reason for that is that the
benchmark reads one sample after another from the time series and
creates a new series iterator for each sample read.
To find out how much these improvements matter in practice, I have
mirrored a beefy Prometheus server at SoundCloud that suffers from
both issues #1035 and #1264. To reach steady state that would be
comparable, the server needs to run for 15d. So far, it has run for
1d. The test server currently has only half as many memory time series
and 60% of the memory chunks the main server has. The 90th percentile
rule evaluation cycle time is ~11s on the main server and only ~3s on
the test server. However, these numbers might get much closer over
time.
In addition to performance improvements, this commit removes about 150
LOC.
This has the advantage that the user doesn't need
to list all labels they want to keep (as with "by")
but without having to worry about inconsistent labels
as when there's only one time series (as with "keeping_common").
Almost all aggregation should use this rather than the existing
two options as it's much less error prone and easier to maintain
due to not having to always add in "job" plus whatever other common
job-level labels you have like "region".
It's actually happening in several places (and for flags, we use the
standard Go time.Duration...). This at least reduces all our
home-grown parsing to one place (in model).
The documentation speaks about range vectors and range vector selectors.
This change does not fix all issues, we might still expose the term
"Matrix" in error messages using %T.
