* Re-add contexts to storage.Storage.Querier()
These are needed when replacing the storage by a multi-tenant
implementation where the tenant is stored in the context.
The 1.x query interfaces already had contexts, but they got lost in 2.x.
* Convert promql.Engine to use native contexts
This PR adds the `/status/config` endpoint which exposes the currently
loaded Prometheus config. This is the same config that is displayed on
`/config` in the UI in YAML format. The response payload looks like
such:
```
{
"status": "success",
"data": {
"yaml": <CONFIG>
}
}
```
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.
This is needed for federating non-instance level metrics, so they don't
end up with the instance label of the prometheus target.
Also sort external labels, so label output order is consistent.
We are writing federation responses streaming. So after
the first byte we wrote, the status header is fixed. We cannot
return an HTTP error for intermediate error but should just abort
and log instead.
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.
This will avoid duplicate MetricFamilies, thereby shrinking the size
of the federation payload and also creating legal text format.
Also, add unit tests for federation. They were also needed for the
previous state of the code, but were missing.

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).
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.
Formalize ZeroSamplePair as return value for non-existing samples.
Change LastSamplePairForFingerprint to return a SamplePair (and not a
pointer to it), which saves allocations in a potentially extremely
frequent call.
This is with `golint -min_confidence=0.5`.
I left several lint warnings untouched because they were either
incorrect or I felt it was better not to change them at the moment.
This commit adds a federation handler on /federate. It accepts `match[]`
query parameters containing vector selectors. Their intersection determines
the in-memory metrics that are returned in the same way as the
/metrics endpoint does (modulo sorting).
