Large delta values often imply a difference between a large base value
and the large delta value, potentially resulting in small numbers with
a huge precision error. Since large delta values need 8 bytes anyway,
we are not even saving memory.
As a solution, always save the absoluto value rather than a delta once
8 bytes would be needed for the delta. Timestamps are then saved as 8
byte integers, while values are always saved as float64 in that case.

Go downloads moved to a different URL and require following redirects
(curl's '-L' option) now.
Go 1.3 deliberately randomizes ranges over maps, which uncovered some
bugs in our tests. These are fixed too.

- Always spell out the time unit (e.g. milliseconds instead of ms).
- Remove "_total" from the names of metrics that are not counters.
- Make use of the "Namespace" and "Subsystem" fields in the options.
- Removed the "capacity" facet from all metrics about channels/queues.
These are all fixed via command line flags and will never change
during the runtime of a process. Also, they should not be part of
the same metric family. I have added separate metrics for the
capacity of queues as convenience. (They will never change and are
only set once.)
- I left "metric_disk_latency_microseconds" unchanged, although that
metric measures the latency of the storage device, even if it is not
a spinning disk. "SSD" is read by many as "solid state disk", so
it's not too far off. (It should be "solid state drive", of course,
but "metric_drive_latency_microseconds" is probably confusing.)
- Brian suggested to not mix "failure" and "success" outcome in the
same metric family (distinguished by labels). For now, I left it as
it is. We are touching some bigger issue here, especially as other
parts in the Prometheus ecosystem are following the same
principle. We still need to come to terms here and then change
things consistently everywhere.

The first sort in groupByFingerprint already ensures that all resulting sample
lists contain only one fingerprint. We also already assume that all
samples passed into AppendSamples (and thus groupByFingerprint) are
chronologically sorted within each fingerprint.
The extra chronological sort is thus superfluous. Furthermore, this
second sort didn't only sort chronologically, but also compared all
metric fingerprints again (although we already know that we're only
sorting within samples for the same fingerprint). This caused a huge
memory and runtime overhead.
In a heavily loaded real Prometheus, this brought down disk flush times
from ~9 minutes to ~1 minute.

This fixes the problem where samples become temporarily unavailable for
queries while they are being flushed to disk. Although the entire
flushing code could use some major refactoring, I'm explicitly trying to
do the minimal change to fix the problem since there's a whole new
storage implementation in the pipeline.

This optimizes the runtime and memory allocation behavior for label matchers
other than type "Equal". Instead of creating a new set for every union of
fingerprints, this simply adds new fingerprints to the existing set to achieve
the same effect.
The current behavior made a production Prometheus unresponsive when running a
NotEqual match against the "instance" label (a label with high value
cardinality).

This fixes https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/390
The cause for the deadlock was a lock semantic in Go that wasn't
obvious to me when introducing this bug:
http://golang.org/pkg/sync/#RWMutex.Lock
Key phrase: "To ensure that the lock eventually becomes available, a
blocked Lock call excludes new readers from acquiring the lock."
In the memory series storage, we have one function
(GetFingerprintsForLabelMatchers) acquiring an RLock(), which calls
another function also acquiring the same RLock()
(GetLabelValuesForLabelName). That normally doesn't deadlock, unless a
Lock() call from another goroutine happens right in between the two
RLock() calls, blocking both the Lock() and the second RLock() call from
ever completing.
GoRoutine 1 GoRoutine 2
======================================
RLock()
... Lock() [DEADLOCK]
RLock() [DEADLOCK] Unlock()
RUnlock()
RUnlock()
Testing deadlocks is tricky, but the regression test I added does
reliably detect the deadlock in the original code on my machine within a
normal concurrent reader/writer run duration of 250ms.

This was initially motivated by wanting to distribute the rule checker
tool under `tools/rule_checker`. However, this was not possible without
also distributing the LevelDB dynamic libraries because the tool
transitively depended on Levigo:
rule checker -> query layer -> tiered storage layer -> leveldb
This change separates external storage interfaces from the
implementation (tiered storage, leveldb storage, memory storage) by
putting them into separate packages:
- storage/metric: public, implementation-agnostic interfaces
- storage/metric/tiered: tiered storage implementation, including memory
and LevelDB storage.
I initially also considered splitting up the implementation into
separate packages for tiered storage, memory storage, and LevelDB
storage, but these are currently so intertwined that it would be another
major project in itself.
The query layers and most other parts of Prometheus now have notion of
the storage implementation anymore and just use whatever implementation
they get passed in via interfaces.
The rule_checker is now a static binary :)

We are not reusing buffers yet. This could introduce problems,
so the behavior is disabled for now.
Cursory benchmark data:
- Marshal for 10,000 samples: -30% overhead.
- Unmarshal for 10,000 samples: -15% overhead.

The format header size is not deducted from the size of the byte
stream when calculating the output buffer size for samples. I have
yet to notice problems directly as a result of this, but it is good
to fix.

The idiomatic pattern for signalling a one-time message to multiple
consumers from a single producer is as follows:
```
c := make(chan struct{})
w := new(sync.WaitGroup) // Boilerplate to ensure synchronization.
for i := 0; i < 1000; i++ {
w.Add(1)
go func() {
defer w.Done()
for {
select {
case _, ok := <- c:
if !ok {
return
}
default:
// Do something here.
}
}
}()
}
close(c) // Signal the one-to-many single-use message.
w.Wait()
```

There are four label-matching ops for selecting timeseries now:
- Equal: =
- NotEqual: !=
- RegexMatch: =~
- RegexNoMatch: !~
Instead of looking up labels by a simple clientmodel.LabelSet (basically
an equals op for every key/value pair in the set), timeseries
fingerprint selection is now done via a list of metric.LabelMatchers.

In the case that a getValuesAtIntervalOp's ExtractSamples() is called
with a current time after the last chunk time, we return without
extracting any further values beyond the last one in the chunk
(correct), but also without advancing the op's time (incorrect). This
leads to an infinite loop in renderView(), since the op is called
repeatedly without ever being advanced and consumed.
This adds handling for this special case. When detecting this case, we
immediately set the op to be consumed, since we would always get a value
after the current time passed in if there was one.
Change-Id: Id99149e07b5188d655331382b8b6a461b677005c
This fixes a bug where an interval op might advance too far past the end
of the currently extracted chunk, effectively skipping over relevant
(to-be-extracted) values in the subsequent chunk. The result: missing
samples at chunk boundaries in the resulting view.

This also fixes the compaction test, which before worked only because
the input sample sorting was accidentally equal to the resulting on-disk

- Most of this is the actual regression test in tiered_test.go.
- Working on that regression tests uncovered problems in
tiered_test.go that are fixed in this commit.
- The 'op.consumed = false' line added to freelist.go was actually not
fixing a bug. Instead, there was no bug at all. So this commit
removes that line again, but adds a regression test to make sure
that the assumed bug is indeed not there (cf. freelist_test.go).
- Removed more code duplication in operation.go (following the same
approach as before, i.e. embedding op type A into op type B if
everything in A is the same as in B with the exception of String()
and ExtractSample()). (This change make struct literals for ops more
clunky, but that only affects tests. No code change whatsoever was
necessary in the actual code after this refactoring.)
- Fix another op leak in tiered.go.

Overall, this gives us good speedups in the areas where they matter
most: decoding values from disk and accessing the memory storage (which
is also used for views).
Some of the smaller append examples take minimally longer, but the cost
seems to get amortized over larger appends, so I'm not worried about
these. Also, we're currently not bottlenecked on the write path and have
plenty of other optimizations available in that area if it becomes
necessary.
Memory allocations during appends don't change measurably at all.

This doesn't add complex discriminator logic yet, but adds a single
version byte to the beginning of each samples chunk. If we ever need to
change the disk format again, this will make it easy to do so without
having to wipe the entire database.
