This adds a workaround to avoid deadlocks for inconsistent write lock
order across headBlocks.
Things keep working if transactions only append data for the same
timestamp, which is generally the case for Prometheus.
Full behavior should be restored in a subsequent change.
The compilation and tests are broken as head.go requires sample which
has been moved to another package while moving BufferedSeriesIterator.
Duplication seemed better compared to exposing sample from tsdbutil.
This fixes different race condition encoutnered when running Prometheus.
It reduces the overall performance in the synthetic benchmark a fair bit
but has no indiciations of impacting a real-world setup notably.
This adds the Queryable interface to the Block interface. Head and
persisted blocks now implement their own Querier() method and thus
isolate customization (e.g. remapPostings) more cleanly.
This adds more lower-leve interfaces which are used to compose
to different Block interfaces.
The DB only uses interfaces instead of explicit persistedBlock and
headBlock. The headBlock generation property is dropped as the use-case
can be implemented using block sequence numbers.
The position mapper was intended to pre-computed "expensive" ordering
of label sets. It was expensive to update and caused a lot of trouble.
Skipping this optimization entirely actually revelead it was pointless
and even harmful from the e2e perspective.
This adds handling for various corruption scenarios of the WAL.
If corruption is encountered, we truncate the WAL after the last valid
entry transparently and continue appending after the offset.
This has been a common source of hard to debug issues. Its a premature
and unbenchmarked optimization and semantically, we want ChunkMetas to
be references in all changed cases.
This fixes a bug where the last WAL file was closed after consuming it
instead of being left open for further writes.
Reloading of blocks on startup considers loading head blocks now.
Introduce a seperate mutex for the head blocks to avoid a race where
a post-compaction reload may run between switching the DB's base mutex
to create a new head block in an appender.
This adds write path support for segmented chunk data files.
Files of 512MB are pre-allocated and written to. If the file size
is exceeded, the next file is started. On completion, files
are truncated to their final size.
This is an initial (and hacky) first pass on allowing
appending to multiple blocks simultaniously to avoid
dropping samples right after cutting a new head block.
It's also required for cases like the PGW, where a scrape may
contain varying timestamps.
The former approach created unordered postings list by either
map iteration of new series being unsorted (fixable) or concurrent
writers creating new series interleaved.
We switch back to generating ephemeral references for a single batch.
Newly created series have to be re-set upon the next insert.
This exposes a reference number of a series represented by a label set
to clients.
Subsequent samples can be directly added via the reference rather than
repeatedly passing in the full labels. This drasitcally speeds up the
append process.
The appender chain uses different sections of the reference number for
assignment to child appenders and invalidating reference numbers as
necessary.
Clients can either pass out reference numbers themselves or have their
own optimized lookup, i.e. by directly associating unparsed metric
descriptors strings with reference numbers.
