- Sort tag filters in the ascending number of matching time series
in order to apply the most specific filters first.
- Fall back to metricName search for filters matching big number of time series
(usually this are negative filters or regexp filters).
This guarantees that the snapshot contains all the recently added data
from inmemory buffers when multiple concurrent calls to Storage.CreateSnapshot are performed.
`runTransactions` call issues async deletions for transaction files. The previously issued transaction deletions
can race with the next call to `runTransactions`. Prevent this by waiting until all the pending transaction
deletions are funished in the beginning of `runTransactions`. Also make sure that all the pending transaction
deletions are finished before returning from `runTransactions`.
This should fix the issue on NFS when incompletely removed dirs may be left
after unclean shutdown (OOM, kill -9, hard reset, etc.), while the corresponding transaction
files are already removed.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/162
The metricID->metricName entry can be missing in the indexdb after unclean shutdown
when only a part of entries for new time series is written into indexdb.
Recover from such a situation by removing the broken metricID. New metricID
will be automatically created for time series with the given metricName
when new data point will arive to it.
See the corresponding benchmark in Prometheus - 23c0299d85/tsdb/head_bench_test.go (L52)
The benchmark allows performing apples-to-apples comparison of time series search
in Prometheus and VictoriaMetrics. The following article - https://www.robustperception.io/evaluating-performance-and-correctness -
contains incorrect numbers for VictoriaMetrics, since there wasn't this benchmark yet. Fix this.
Benchmarks can be repeated with the following commands from Prometheus and VictoriaMetrics source code roots:
- Prometheus: GOMAXPROCS=1 go test ./tsdb/ -run=111 -bench=BenchmarkHeadPostingForMatchers
- VictoriaMetrics: GOMAXPROCS=1 go test ./lib/storage/ -run=111 -bench=BenchmarkHeadPostingForMatchers

The first column (old) is for Prometheus, the second column (new) is for VictoriaMetrics.
As you can see, VictoriaMetrics outperforms Prometheus by more than 100x in almost all the test cases of this benchmark.
Prometheus was using 3.5GB of RAM during the benchmark, while VictoriaMetrics was using 400MB of RAM.
