persistence.go is way too long anyway, and a lot of code is just crash
recovery, which is not important to understand the normal operation.
Also, remove unused `exists` function.
Previously, it would return an error instead. Now we can distinguish
the cases 'error while deleting known key' vs. 'key not in index'
without testing for leveldb-internal kinds of errors.
If queries are still running when the shutdown is initiated, they will
finish _during_ the shutdown. In that case, they might request chunk
eviction upon unpinning their pinned chunks. That might completely
fill the evict request queue _after_ draining it during storage
shutdown. If that ever happens (which is the case if there are _many_
queries still running during shutdown), the affected queries will be
stuck while keeping a fingerprint locked. The checkpointing can then
not process that fingerprint (or one that shares the same lock). And
then we are deadlocked.
- Move CONTRIBUTORS.md to the more common AUTHORS.
- Added the required NOTICE file.
- Changed "Prometheus Team" to "The Prometheus Authors".
- Reverted the erroneous changes to the Apache License.
This mimics the locking leveldb is performing anyway. Advantages of
doing it separately:
- Should we ever replace the leveldb implementation by one without
double-start protection, we are still good.
- In contrast to leveldb, the new code creates a meaningful error
message.
Usually, if you unarchive a series, it is to add something to it,
which will create a new head chunk. However, if a series in
unarchived, and before anything is added to it, it is handled by the
maintenance loop, it will be archived again. In that case, we have to
load the chunkDescs to know the lastTime of the series to be
archived. Usually, this case will happen only rarely (as a race, has
never happened so far, possibly because the locking around unarchiving
and the subsequent sample append is smart enough). However, during
crash recovery, we sometimes treat series as "freshly unarchived"
without directly appending a sample. We might add more cases of that
type later, so better deal with archiving properly and load chunkDescs
if required.
- Documented checkpoint file format.
- High-level description of series sanitation.
- Replace fp.LoadFromString panic with an error.
(Change in client_golang already submitted.)
- Introduced checks for series file size where appropriate.
- Removed two Law of Demeter violations.

- Delete unneeded file view_adapter.go.
- Assessed that we still need the fingerprints in nodes
(to create iterators).
- Turned numMemChunkDescs into a metric.

Now only purge if there is something to purge.
Also, set savedFirstTime and archived time range appropriately.
(Which is needed for the optimization.)

Fix the behavior if preload for non-existent series is requested.
Instead of returning an error (which triggers a panic further up),
simply count those incidents. They can happen regularly, we just want
to know if they happen too frequently because that would mean the
indexing is behind or broken.

The root cause was that after chunkDesc eviction, the offset between
memory representation of chunk layout (via chunkDescs in memory) was
shiftet against chunks as layed out on disk. Keeping the offset up to
date is by no means trivial, so this commit is pretty involved.
Also, found a race that for some reason didn't bite us so far:
Persisting chunks was completel unlocked, so if chunks were purged on
disk at the same time, disaster would strike. However, locking the
persisting of chunk revealed interesting dead locks. Basically, never
queue under the fp lock.

Checkpointing interval is now a command line flag.
Along the way, several things were refactored.
- Restructure the way the storage is started and stopped..
- Number of series in checkpoint is now a uint64, not a varint.
(Breaks old checkpoints, needs wipe!)
- More consistent naming and order of methods.

Add gauge for chunks and chunkdescs in memory (backed by a global
variable to be used later not only for instrumentation but also for
memory management).
Refactored instrumentation code once more (instrumentation.go is back :).
