It took a `Labels` where the memory could be re-used, but in practice
this hardly ever benefitted. Especially after converting `relabel.Process`
to `relabel.ProcessBuilder`.
Comparing the parameter to `nil` was a bug; `EmptyLabels` is not `nil`
so the slice was reallocated multiple times by `append`.
Lastly `Builder.Labels()` now estimates that the final size will depend
on labels added and deleted.

During remote write, we call url.String() twice:
- to add the Endpoint() to the span
- to actually know where whe should send the request
This value does not change over time, and it's not really that
lightweight to calculate. I wrote this simple benchmark:
func BenchmarkURLString(b *testing.B) {
u, err := url.Parse("https://remote.write.com/api/v1")
require.NoError(b, err)
b.Run("string", func(b *testing.B) {
count := 0
for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
count += len(u.String())
}
})
}
And the results are ~200ns/op, 80B/op, 3 allocs/op.
Yes, we're going to go to the network here, which is a huge amount of
resources compared to this, but still, on agents that send 500 requests
per second, that is 1500 wasteful allocations per second.

As far as I understand it, we'd never expect to receive a nil span,

Marking the fields as non-nullable also means the generated Golang
code doesn't use pointers for these fields, reducing allocations.

This is an optimization on the existing append in OOOChunk.
What we've been doing so far is find the place inside the out-of-order
slice where the new sample should go in and then place it there and move
any samples to the right if necessary. This is OK but requires a binary
search every time the slice is bigger than 0.
The optimization is opinionated and suggests that although out-of-order
samples can be out-of-order amongst themselves they'll probably be in
order thus we can probably optimistically append at the end and if not
do the binary search.
OOOChunks are capped to 30 samples by default so this is a small
optimization but everything adds up, specially if you handle many active
timeseries with out-of-order samples.

`QueueManager.externalLabels` becomes a slice rather than a `Labels` so
we can index into it when doing the merge operation.
Note we avoid calling `Labels.Len()` in `labelProtosToLabels()`.
It isn't necessary - `append()` will enlarge the buffer and we're
expecting to re-use it many times.
Also, we now validate protobuf input before converting to Labels.
This way we can detect errors first, and we don't place unnecessary
requirements on the Labels structure.

p.Series() as the key, which included the metric name _with_ its labels.
That meant that we were never actually hitting the cache. We're fixing
this by utiling the __name__ internal label for correctly getting the
cache entries after they've been set by setHelp(), setType() or

Note: This is deliberately an incompatible change. Since we have never
used histograms in remote read/write yet, there is no point in keeping
compatibility. This _is_, however, compatible to the state in the main
branch.
This commit flattens the bucket message into top-level fields. This
has the disadvantage of now having two triples of fields prefixed with
`negative_...` or `positive_...`. However, with this structure, we
save one tag on the wire. And, perhaps more importantly, we mirror the
structure of the `histogram.Histogram` Go type.
This commit also adjusts `repeated` fields to use names in the plural
form, as it is also the case for the fields that already existed.
This also adds a doc comment to `HistogramProtoToHistogram` and
changes its return type to a pointer (which is more convenient and
probably more efficient).

If FlushAndShutdown is called with a full batchQueue, and then Batch is

might be encountered. Rather than having FlushAndShutdown having
blocking code while holding a lock retry sending the batch every second.
Signed-off-by: Chris Marchbanks <csmarchbanks@gmail.com>
Do not block when trying to write a batch to the queue. This can cause
appends to lock forever if the only thing reading from the queue needs
the mutex to write. Instead, if batchQueue is full pop the sample that
was just added from the partial batch and return false. The code doing
the appending already handles retries with backoff.
Signed-off-by: Chris Marchbanks <csmarchbanks@gmail.com>
If a queue is stopped and one of its shards happens to hit the
batch_send_deadline at the same time a deadlock can occur where stop
holds the mutex and will not release it until the send is finished, but
the send needs the mutex to retrieve the most recent batch. This is
fixed by using a second mutex just for writing.
In addition, the test I wrote exposed a case where during shutdown a
batch could be sent twice due to concurrent calls to queue.Batch() and
queue.FlushAndShutdown(). Protect these with a mutex as well.

We have an alert that fires when prometheus_remote_storage_highest_timestamp_in_seconds - prometheus_remote_storage_queue_highest_sent_timestamp_seconds
becomes too high. But we have an agent that fires this when the remote "rate-limits" the user.
This is because prometheus_remote_storage_queue_highest_sent_timestamp_seconds doesn't get updated
when the remote sends a 429.
I think we should update the metrics, and the change I made makes sense. Because if the requests fails
because of connectivity issues, etc. we will never exit the `sendWriteRequestWithBackoff` function. It only
exits the function when there is a non-recoverable error, like a bad status code, and in that case, I think
the metric needs to be updated.

As a byproduct, I have removed the histogramSeries metric. In my

that metric doesn't make sense anymore.

* Make multiplexing and demuxing of types explicit

interfaces).
* Casting between different types should be free. None of the changes

* Initial draft of prometheus-agent
This commit introduces a new binary, prometheus-agent, based on the
Grafana Agent code. It runs a WAL-only version of prometheus without the
TSDB, alerting, or rule evaluations. It is intended to be used to
remote_write to Prometheus or another remote_write receiver.
By default, prometheus-agent will listen on port 9095 to not collide
with the prometheus default of 9090.
Truncation of the WAL cooperates on a best-effort case with Remote
Write. Every time the WAL is truncated, the minimum timestamp of data to
truncate is determined by the lowest sent timestamp of all samples
across all remote_write endpoints. This gives loose guarantees that data
from the WAL will not try to be removed until the maximum sample
lifetime passes or remote_write starts functionining.

A lot of this code was hacked together, literally during a
hackathon. This commit intends not to change the code substantially,
but just make the code obey the usual style practices.
A (possibly incomplete) list of areas:
* Generally address linter warnings.
* The `pgk` directory is deprecated as per dev-summit. No new packages should
be added to it. I moved the new `pkg/histogram` package to `model`
anticipating what's proposed in #9478.
* Make the naming of the Sparse Histogram more consistent. Including
abbreviations, there were just too many names for it: SparseHistogram,
Histogram, Histo, hist, his, shs, h. The idea is to call it "Histogram" in
general. Only add "Sparse" if it is needed to avoid confusion with
conventional Histograms (which is rare because the TSDB really has no notion
of conventional Histograms). Use abbreviations only in local scope, and then
really abbreviate (not just removing three out of seven letters like in
"Histo"). This is in the spirit of
https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/CodeReviewComments#variable-names
* Several other minor name changes.
* A lot of formatting of doc comments. For one, following
https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/CodeReviewComments#comment-sentences
, but also layout question, anticipating how things will look like
when rendered by `godoc` (even where `godoc` doesn't render them
right now because they are for unexported types or not a doc comment
at all but just a normal code comment - consistency is queen!).
* Re-enabled `TestQueryLog` and `TestEndopints` (they pass now,
leaving them disabled was presumably an oversight).
* Bucket iterator for histogram.Histogram is now created with a
method.
* HistogramChunk.iterator now allows iterator recycling. (I think
@dieterbe only commented it out because he was confused by the
question in the comment.)
* HistogramAppender.Append panics now because we decided to treat
staleness marker differently.
