Currently the only way to convert a scalar to a vector is to
use absent(), which isn't very clean. This adds a vector()
function that's the inverse of scalar() and lets your optionally
set labels.
Example usage would be
vector(time() % 86400) < 3600
to filter to only the first hour of the day.
This calculates how much a counter increases over
a given period of time, which is the area under the curve
of it's rate.
increase(x[5m]) is equivilent to rate(x[5m]) * 300.
This copies the evaluation logic from the current rules/ package.
The new engine handles the execution process from query string to final result.
It provides query timeout and cancellation and general flexibility for
future changes.
functions.go: Add evaluation implementation. Slight changes to in/out data but
not to the processing logic.
quantile.go: No changes.
analyzer.go: No changes.
engine.go: Actually new part. Mainly consists of evaluation methods
which were not changed.
setup_test.go: Copy of rules/helpers_test.go to setup test storage.
promql_test.go: Copy of rules/rules_test.go.
This commit creates a (so far unused) package. It contains the a custom
lexer/parser for the query language.
ast.go: New AST that interacts well with the parser.
lex.go: Custom lexer (new).
lex_test.go: Lexer tests (new).
parse.go: Custom parser (new).
parse_test.go: Parser tests (new).
functions.go: Changed function type, dummies for parser testing (barely changed/dummies).
printer.go: Adapted from rules/ and adjusted to new AST (mostly unchanged, few additions).
