lib/{mergeset,storage}: allow at least 3 concurrent flushes during background merges on systems with 1 or 2 CPU cores
This should prevent from data ingestion slowdown and query performance degradation
on systems with small number of CPU cores (1 or 2), when big merge is performed.

This should help https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3790

lib/{storage,mergeset}: do not run assisted merges when flushing pending samples to parts
Assisted merges are intended to be performed by goroutines, which accept the incoming samples,
in order to limit the data ingestion rate.

The worker, which converts pending samples to parts, shouldn't be penalized by assisted merges,
since this may result in increased number of pending rows as seen at https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3647#issuecomment-1385039142
when the assisted merge takes too much time.

lib/{storage,mergeset}: tune the threshold for assisted merge
The https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3425#issuecomment-1359117221
reveals that CPU usage for incoming queries may significantly increase when the number
of in-memory parts becomes too big.

This commit reduces the maximum number of in-memory parts before starting the assisted merge
during data ingestion. This should reduce CPU usage for incoming queries,
since they need to inspect lower number of in-memory parts.

This should help https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3425

lib/{mergeset,storage}: do not block small merges by pending big merges - assist with small merges instead
Blocked small merges may result into big number of small parts, which, in turn,
may result in increased CPU and memory usage during queries, since queries need to inspect
all the existing small parts.

lib/{storage,mergeset}: log the duration for flushing in-memory parts on graceful shutdown 2022-12-05 21:30:48 -08:00

all: add -inmemoryDataFlushInterval command-line flag for controlling the frequency of saving in-memory data to disk
The main purpose of this command-line flag is to increase the lifetime of low-end flash storage
with the limited number of write operations it can perform. Such flash storage is usually
installed on Raspberry PI or similar appliances.

For example, `-inmemoryDataFlushInterval=1h` reduces the frequency of disk write operations
to up to once per hour if the ingested one-hour worth of data fits the limit for in-memory data.

The in-memory data is searchable in the same way as the data stored on disk.
VictoriaMetrics automatically flushes the in-memory data to disk on graceful shutdown via SIGINT signal.
The in-memory data is lost on unclean shutdown (hardware power loss, OOM crash, SIGKILL).

all: use os.{Read|Write}File instead of ioutil.{Read|Write}File
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/{mergeset,storage}: properly limit cache sizes for indexdb
Previously these caches could exceed limits set via `-memory.allowedPercent` and/or `-memory.allowedBytes`,
since limits were set independently per each data part. If the number of data parts was big, then limits could be exceeded,
which could result to out of memory errors.

aa9b56a046 lib/{mergeset,storage}: reduce the number of fsync calls on data ingestion path on systems with many cpu cores
VictoriaMetrics maintains a buffer per CPU core for the ingested data. These buffers are flushed to disk every second.
These buffers are flushed to disk in parallel starting from the commit 56b6b893ce .
This resulted in increased write disk IO usage on systems with many cpu cores
as described at https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1338#issuecomment-863046999 .

This commit merges the per-CPU buffers into bigger in-memory buffers before flushing them to disk.
This should reduce the rate of fsync syscalls and, consequently, the write disk IO on systems with many CPU cores.

This should help https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1338
