Julius Volz ed5a0f0abe promql: Allow per-query contexts. ... For Weaveworks' Frankenstein, we need to support multitenancy. In Frankenstein, we initially solved this without modifying the promql package at all: we constructed a new promql.Engine for every query and injected a storage implementation into that engine which would be primed to only collect data for a given user. This is problematic to upstream, however. Prometheus assumes that there is only one engine: the query concurrency gate is part of the engine, and the engine contains one central cancellable context to shut down all queries. Also, creating a new engine for every query seems like overkill. Thus, we want to be able to pass per-query contexts into a single engine. This change gets rid of the promql.Engine's built-in base context and allows passing in a per-query context instead. Central cancellation of all queries is still possible by deriving all passed-in contexts from one central one, but this is now the responsibility of the caller. The central query context is now created in main() and passed into the relevant components (web handler / API, rule manager). In a next step, the per-query context would have to be passed to the storage implementation, so that the storage can implement multi-tenancy or other features based on the contextual information.		2016-09-19 15:38:17 +02:00
