- Sort MetricName tags only once before the benchmark loop.
- Obtain indexSearch per each benchmark loop in order to give a chance for background merge
for the recently created parts
Previously all the newly ingested time series were registered in global `MetricName -> TSID` index.
This index was used during data ingestion for locating the TSID (internal series id)
for the given canonical metric name (the canonical metric name consists of metric name plus all its labels sorted by label names).
The `MetricName -> TSID` index is stored on disk in order to make sure that the data
isn't lost on VictoriaMetrics restart or unclean shutdown.
The lookup in this index is relatively slow, since VictoriaMetrics needs to read the corresponding
data block from disk, unpack it, put the unpacked block into `indexdb/dataBlocks` cache,
and then search for the given `MetricName -> TSID` entry there. So VictoriaMetrics
uses in-memory cache for speeding up the lookup for active time series.
This cache is named `storage/tsid`. If this cache capacity is enough for all the currently ingested
active time series, then VictoriaMetrics works fast, since it doesn't need to read the data from disk.
VictoriaMetrics starts reading data from `MetricName -> TSID` on-disk index in the following cases:
- If `storage/tsid` cache capacity isn't enough for active time series.
Then just increase available memory for VictoriaMetrics or reduce the number of active time series
ingested into VictoriaMetrics.
- If new time series is ingested into VictoriaMetrics. In this case it cannot find
the needed entry in the `storage/tsid` cache, so it needs to consult on-disk `MetricName -> TSID` index,
since it doesn't know that the index has no the corresponding entry too.
This is a typical event under high churn rate, when old time series are constantly substituted
with new time series.
Reading the data from `MetricName -> TSID` index is slow, so inserts, which lead to reading this index,
are counted as slow inserts, and they can be monitored via `vm_slow_row_inserts_total` metric exposed by VictoriaMetrics.
Prior to this commit the `MetricName -> TSID` index was global, e.g. it contained entries sorted by `MetricName`
for all the time series ever ingested into VictoriaMetrics during the configured -retentionPeriod.
This index can become very large under high churn rate and long retention. VictoriaMetrics
caches data from this index in `indexdb/dataBlocks` in-memory cache for speeding up index lookups.
The `indexdb/dataBlocks` cache may occupy significant share of available memory for storing
recently accessed blocks at `MetricName -> TSID` index when searching for newly ingested time series.
This commit switches from global `MetricName -> TSID` index to per-day index. This allows significantly
reducing the amounts of data, which needs to be cached in `indexdb/dataBlocks`, since now VictoriaMetrics
consults only the index for the current day when new time series is ingested into it.
The downside of this change is increased indexdb size on disk for workloads without high churn rate,
e.g. with static time series, which do no change over time, since now VictoriaMetrics needs to store
identical `MetricName -> TSID` entries for static time series for every day.
This change removes an optimization for reducing CPU and disk IO spikes at indexdb rotation,
since it didn't work correctly - see https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1401 .
At the same time the change fixes the issue, which could result in lost access to time series,
which stop receving new samples during the first hour after indexdb rotation - see https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2698
The issue with the increased CPU and disk IO usage during indexdb rotation will be addressed
in a separate commit according to https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1401#issuecomment-1553488685

(cherry picked from commit dfe53a36fc)
The "broken pipe" error is emitted when the connection has been interrupted abruptly.
It could happen due to unexpected network glitch or because connection was
interrupted by remote client. In both cases, remote client will notice
connection breach and handle it on its own. No need in logging this error
on both: server and client side.
This change should reduce the amount of log noise on vmstorage side. In the same time,
it is not expected to lose any information, since important logs should be still
emitted by the vmselect.
To conduct an experiment for testing this change see the following instructions:
1. Setup vmcluster with at least 2 storage nodes, 1 vminsert and 1 vmselect
2. Run vmselect with complexity limit checked on the client side: `-search.maxSamplesPerQuery=1`
3. Ingest some data and query it back: `count({__name__!=""})`
4. Observe the logs on vmselect and vmstorage side
Before the change, vmselect will log message about complexity limits exceeded. When this happens,
vmselect closes network connections to vmstorage nodes signalizing that it doesn't expect any data back.
Both vmstorage processes will try to push data to the connection and will fail with "broken pipe" error,
means that vmselect closed the connection.
After the change, vmstorages should remain silent. And vmselect will continue emittin the error message
about complexity limits exceeded.

This reverts the following commits:
- e0e16a2d36
- 2ce02a7fe6
The reason for revert: the updated logic breaks assumptions made
when fixing https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2698 .
For example, if a time series stop receiving new samples during the first
day after the indexdb rotation, there are chances that the time series
won't be registered in the new indexdb. This is OK until the next indexdb
rotation, since the time series is registered in the previous indexdb,
so it can be found during queries. But the time series will become invisible
for search after the next indexdb rotation, while its data is still there.
There is also incompletely solved issue with the increased CPU and disk IO resource
usage just after the indexdb rotation. There was an attempt to fix it, but it didn't fix
it in full, while introducing the issue mentioned above. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1401
TODO: to find out the solution, which simultaneously solves the following issues:
- increased memory usage for setups high churn rate and long retention (e.g. what the reverted commit does)
- increased CPU and disk IO usage during indexdb rotation ( https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1401 )
- https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2698
- Document the change at docs/CHANGELOG.md
- Clarify comments for non-trivial code touched by the commit
- Improve the logic behind maybeCreateIndexes():
- Correctly create per-day indexes if the indexdb rotation is performed during
the first hour or the last hour of the day by UTC.
Previously there was a possibility of missing index entries on that day.
- Increase the duration for creating new indexes in the current indexdb for up to 22 hours
after indexdb rotation. This should reduce the increased resource usage
after indexdb rotation.
It is safe to postpone index creation for the current day until the last hour
of the current day after indexdb rotation by UTC, since the corresponding (date, ...)
entries exist in the previous indexdb.
- Search for TSID by (date, MetricName) in both the current and the previous indexdb.
Previously the search was performed only in the current indexdb. This could lead
to excess creation of per-day indexes for the current day just after indexdb rotation.
- Search for (date, metricID) entries in both the current and the previous indexdb.
Previously the search was performed only in the current indexdb. This could lead
to excess creation of per-day indexes for the current day just after indexdb rotation.
The new index substitutes global MetricName=>TSID index
used for locating TSIDs on ingestion path.
For installations with high ingestion and churn rate, global
MetricName=>TSID index can grow enormously making
index lookups too expensive. This also results into bigger
than expected cache growth for indexdb blocks.
New per-day index supposed to be much smaller and more efficient.
This should improve ingestion speed and reliability during
re-routings in cluster.
The negative outcome could be occupied disk size, since
per-day index is more expensive comparing to global index.

This reverts commit 9e99f2f5b3.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4068
Reason for revert: this breaks valid use cases:
- If timestamps aren't specified in the incoming samples on purpose. For example, if stream aggregation is used
as StatsD replacement. StatsD protocol has no timestamp concept for incoming samples.
See https://github.com/b/statsd_spec
- If all the samples must be aggregated, even if they contain stale timestamps.
for example, if the stream aggregation produces some counter of some events,
it may be better to count all the events even if they were delayed before
being ingested into VictoriaMetrics.
Is is also unclear how to determine whether the sample becomes stale.
For example, if the aggregation interval equals to 1h, and the previous
aggregation cycle just finished 10 minutes ago, what to do with the newly
incoming sample with the timestamp 30 minutes older than the current time?
The answer highly depends on the context, so it is unsafe to uncoditionally
use a single logic for dropping the old samples here.
* lib/streamaggr: discard samples with timestamps not matching aggregation interval
Samples with timestamps lower than `now - aggregation_interval` are likely to be written via backfilling and should not be used for calculation of aggregation.
