Blocks outside the configured retention are eventually deleted during background merge.
But such blocks may reside in the storage for long time until background merge.
Previously VictoriaMetrics could spend additional CPU time on processing such blocks
during search queries. Now these blocks are skipped.
The searchTSIDs function was searching for metricIDs matching the the given tag filters
and then was locating the corresponding TSID entries for the found metricIDs.
The TSID entries aren't needed when searching for time series names (aka MetricName),
so this commit removes the uneeded TSID search from the implementation of /api/v1/series API.
This improves perfromance of /api/v1/series calls.
This commit also improves performance a bit for /api/v1/query and /api/v1/query_range calls,
since now these calls cache small metricIDs instead of big TSID entries
in the indexdb/tagFilters cache (now this cache is named indexdb/tagFiltersToMetricIDs)
without the need to compress the saved entries in order to save cache space.
This commit also removes concurrency limiter during searching for matching time series,
which was introduced in 8f16388428, since the concurrency
for all the read queries is already limited with -search.maxConcurrentRequests command-line flag.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/648
The panic has been introduced in 68f3a02589
While at it, add padding to shard structs in order to avoid false sharing on mordern CPUs
This should improve scalability on systems with many CPU cores
This is OK, since the anchors are implicitly applied to the whole regexp.
This optimization should improve the speed for regexp series filters with explicit $ and ^ anchors.
For example, `{label="^(foo|bar)$"}`
These metrics allow alerting when the number of unique series approach the limit.
For example, the following query alerts when the number of series reaches 90% of the configured limit:
vm_hourly_series_limit_current_series / vm_hourly_series_limit_max_series > 0.9
ioutil.ReadAll is deprecated since Go1.16 - see https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.16#ioutil
VictoriaMetrics requires at least Go1.18, so it is OK to switch from ioutil.ReadAll to io.ReadAll.
This is a follow-up for 02ca2342ab
The ioutil.{Read|Write}File is deprecated since Go1.16 -
see https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.16#ioutil
VictoriaMetrics needs at least Go1.18, so it is safe to remove ioutil usage
from source code.

* lib/storage: bump max merge concurrency for small parts to 15
The change is based on the feedback from users on github.
Thier examples show, that limit of 8 sometimes become a
bottleneck. Users report that without limit concurrency
can climb up to 15-20 merges at once.

* lib/storage: prevent excessive loops when storage is in RO
Returning nil error when storage is in RO mode results
into excessive loops and function calls which could
result into CPU exhaustion. Returning an err instead
will trigger delays in the for loop and save some resources.

Previously the time series could be put into dateMetricIDCache without
registering in the per-day inverted index if GetOrCreateTSIDByName
finds TSID entry in the global index. This could lead to missing
series in query results.
The issue has been introduced in the commit 55e7afae3a,
which has been included in VictoriaMetrics v1.78.0
- show dates in human-readable format, e.g. 2022-05-07, instead of a numeric value
- limit the maximum length of queries and filters shown in trace messages
Previously SearchMetricNames was returning unmarshaled metric names.
This wasn't great for vmstorage, which should spend additional CPU time
for marshaling the metric names before sending them to vmselect.
While at it, remove possible duplicate metric names, which could occur when
multiple samples for new time series are ingested via concurrent requests.
Also sort the metric names before returning them to the client.
This simplifies debugging of the returned metric names across repeated requests to /api/v1/series
querytracer has been added to the following storage.Storage methods:
- RegisterMetricNames
- DeleteMetrics
- SearchTagValueSuffixes
- SearchGraphitePaths
The commit 5fb45173ae takes into account only newly registered series
when applying cardinality limits. This means that the cardinality limit could be exceeded with already registered series.
This commit returns back accounting for already registered series when applying cardinality limits.
Previously the creation of per-day indexes and global indexes
for the newly registered time series was decoupled.
Now global indexes and per-day indexes for the current day are created toghether for new time series.
This should speed up registering new time series a bit.
This allows filling the seriesCountByFocusLabelValue list in the /api/v1/status/tsdb response
with label values for the specified focusLabel, which contain the highest number of time series.
TODO: add this to Cardinality explorer at VMUI - https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#cardinality-explorer
Workers count for merges affects the max part size during merges. Such behaviour
protects storage from running out of disk space for scenario when all workers
are merging parts with the max size.
This works very well for most cases. But for systems where high number of CPUs
is allocated for vmstorage components this could significantly impact the max
part size and result in more unmerged parts than expected.
While checking multiple production highly loaded setups it was discovered that
`max_over_time(vm_active_merges{type="storage/big}[1h]}"` rarely exceeds 2,
and `max_over_time(vm_active_merges{type="storage/small}[1h]}"` rarely exceeds 4.
The change in this commit limits the max value for concurrency accordingly.

The default size of `indexdb/tagFilters` now can be overridden via
`storage.cacheSizeIndexDBTagFilters` flag.
Please, be careful with changing default size since it may
lead to inefficient work of the vmstorage or OOM exceptions.
