To horizontally scale streaming aggregation, you might want to deploy a separate hashing tier
of vmagents that route to a separate aggregation tier. The hashing tier should shard by all labels
except the instance-level labels, to ensure the input metrics are routed correctly to the aggregator
instance responsible for those labels.
For this to achieve we introduce `remoteWrite.shardByURL.inverseLabels` flag to inverse logic of `remoteWrite.shardByURL.labels`

For example, if `interval: 1m`, then data flush occurs at the end of every minute,
while `interval: 1h` leads to data flush at the end of every hour.
Add `no_align_flush_to_interval` option, which can be used for disabling the alignment.
There is no sense in running more than GOMAXPROCS concurrent marshalers,
since they are CPU-bound. More concurrent marshalers do not increase the marshaling bandwidth,
but they may result in more RAM usage.
This should smooth CPU and RAM usage spikes related to these periodic tasks,
by reducing the probability that multiple concurrent periodic tasks are performed at the same time.
The user may which to control the endpoint parameters for instance to
set the audience when requesting an access token. Exposing the
parameters as a map allows for additional use cases without requiring
modification.
- Add Try* prefix to functions, which return bool result in order to improve readability and reduce the probability of missing check
for the result returned from these functions.
- Call the adjustSampleValues() only once on input samples. Previously it was called on every attempt to flush data to peristent queue.
- Properly restore the initial state of WriteRequest passed to tryPushWriteRequest() before returning from this function
after unsuccessful push to persistent queue. Previously a part of WriteRequest samples may be lost in such case.
- Add -remoteWrite.dropSamplesOnOverload command-line flag, which can be used for dropping incoming samples instead
of returning 429 Too Many Requests error to the client when -remoteWrite.disableOnDiskQueue is set and the remote storage
cannot keep up with the data ingestion rate.
- Add vmagent_remotewrite_samples_dropped_total metric, which counts the number of dropped samples.
- Add vmagent_remotewrite_push_failures_total metric, which counts the number of unsuccessful attempts to push
data to persistent queue when -remoteWrite.disableOnDiskQueue is set.
- Remove vmagent_remotewrite_aggregation_metrics_dropped_total and vm_promscrape_push_samples_dropped_total metrics,
because they are replaced with vmagent_remotewrite_samples_dropped_total metric.
- Update 'Disabling on-disk persistence' docs at docs/vmagent.md
- Update stale comments in the code

* app/vmagent: allow to disabled on-disk queue
Previously, it wasn't possible to build data processing pipeline with a
chain of vmagents. In case when remoteWrite for the last vmagent in the
chain wasn't accessible, it persisted data only when it has enough disk
capacity. If disk queue is full, it started to silently drop ingested
metrics.
New flags allows to disable on-disk persistent and immediatly return an
error if remoteWrite is not accessible anymore. It blocks any writes and
notify client, that data ingestion isn't possible.
Main use case for this feature - use external queue such as kafka for
data persistence.

- Make sure that invalid/missing TLS CA file or TLS client certificate files at vmagent startup
don't prevent from processing the corresponding scrape targets after the file becomes correct,
without the need to restart vmagent.
Previously scrape targets with invalid TLS CA file or TLS client certificate files
were permanently dropped after the first attempt to initialize them, and they didn't
appear until the next vmagent reload or the next change in other places of the loaded scrape configs.
- Make sure that TLS CA is properly re-loaded from file after it changes without the need to restart vmagent.
Previously the old TLS CA was used until vmagent restart.
- Properly handle errors during http request creation for the second attempt to send data to remote system
at vmagent and vmalert. Previously failed request creation could result in nil pointer dereferencing,
since the returned request is nil on error.
- Add more context to the logged error during AWS sigv4 request signing before sending the data to -remoteWrite.url at vmagent.
Previously it could miss details on the source of the request.
- Do not create a new HTTP client per second when generating OAuth2 token needed to put in Authorization header
of every http request issued by vmagent during service discovery or target scraping.
Re-use the HTTP client instead until the corresponding scrape config changes.
- Cache error at lib/promauth.Config.GetAuthHeader() in the same way as the auth header is cached,
e.g. the error is cached for a second now. This should reduce load on CPU and OAuth2 server
when auth header cannot be obtained because of temporary error.
- Share tls.Config.GetClientCertificate function among multiple scrape targets with the same tls_config.
Cache the loaded certificate and the error for one second. This should significantly reduce CPU load
when scraping big number of targets with the same tls_config.
- Allow loading TLS certificates from HTTP and HTTPs urls by specifying these urls at `tls_config->cert_file` and `tls_config->key_file`.
- Improve test coverage at lib/promauth
- Skip unreachable or invalid files specified at `scrape_config_files` during vmagent startup, since these files may become valid later.
Previously vmagent was exitting in this case.

(cherry picked from commit 992a1c0a3a)
- Fix Prometheus-compatible naming after applying the relabeling if -usePromCompatibleNaming command-line flag is set.
This should prevent from possible Prometheus-incompatible metric names and label names generated by the relabeling.
- Do not return anything from relabelCtx.appendExtraLabels() function, since it cannot change the number of time series
passed to it. Append labels for the passed time series in-place.
- Remove promrelabel.FinalizeLabels() call after adding extra labels to time series, since this call has been already
made at relabelCtx.applyRelabeling(). It is user's responsibility if he passes labels with double underscore prefixes
to -remoteWrite.label.

{vmagent/remotewrite,vminsert/common}: fix dropInput and keepInput flags inconsistency
Sync behavior for dropInput and keepInput flags between single-node and vmagent.
Fix vmagent not respecting dropInput flag and reverse logic for keepInput.
Add -remoteWrite.shardByURL command-line flag, which instructs vmagent to spread evenly
outgoing time series data among the configured remote storage systems specified via -remoteWrite.url .
Samples for the same time series go to the same -remoteWrite.url . This allows building horizontally
scalable stream aggregation when samples for counter and histogram series must be aggregated
by the same second-level vmagent instance.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4637
- Use a byte slice instead of a map for tracking indexes for matching series.
This improves performance, since access by slice index is faster than access by map key.
- Re-use the byte slice for tracking indexes for matching series.
This removes unnecessary memory allocations and improves stream aggregation performance a bit.
- Add an ability to return to the previous behvaiour by specifying -remoteWrite.streamAggr.dropInput command-line flag.
In this case all the input samples are dropped when stream aggregation is enabled.
- Backport the new stream aggregation behaviour from vmagent to single-node VictoriaMetrics when -streamAggr.config
option is set.
- Improve docs regarding this change at docs/CHANGELOG.md
- Document the new behavior at docs/stream-aggregation.md

This eliminates the need in .(*T) casting for results obtained from Load()
Leave atomic.Value for map, since atomic.Pointer[map[...]...] makes double pointer to map,
because map is already a pointer type.
Error message will be present for any auth error, but message claims an error is about OAuth2 configuration which is confusing.

app/vmagent/remotewrite: fix vmagent panic on shutdown
Currently, when vmagent is stopping it first flushes pending series in remote write context and proceeds to stop streaming aggregation. This leads to streaming aggregation being unable to write results into pending timeseries (since it is already nil) and panic.
This can lead to losing some aggregation results being lost almost silently.
The fix is reordering flow to first stop streaming aggregation and flush all pending time series after that.

Use fs.MustReadDir() instead of os.ReadDir() across the code in order to reduce the code verbosity.
The fs.MustReadDir() logs the error with the directory name and the call stack on error
before exit. This information should be enough for debugging the cause of the error.
- Make sure that the last successfully loaded config is used on hot-reload failure
- Properly cleanup resources occupied by already initialized aggregators
when the current aggregator fails to be initialized
- Expose distinct vmagent_streamaggr_config_reload* metrics per each -remoteWrite.streamAggr.config
This should simplify monitoring and debugging failed reloads
- Remove race condition at app/vminsert/common.MustStopStreamAggr when calling sa.MustStop() while sa
could be in use at realoadSaConfig()
- Remove lib/streamaggr.aggregator.hasState global variable, since it may negatively impact scalability
on system with big number of CPU cores at hasState.Store(true) call inside aggregator.Push().
- Remove fine-grained aggregator reload - reload all the aggregators on config change instead.
This simplifies the code a bit. The fine-grained aggregator reload may be returned back
if there will be demand from real users for it.
- Check -relabelConfig and -streamAggr.config files when single-node VictoriaMetrics runs with -dryRun flag

- Compare directory names instead of paths to directory when determining which persistent queues must be deleted
This is less error-prone solution, since paths to the same directory can differ, which could lead
to accidental directory removal for the existing -remoteWrite.url
- Log the `removed %d dangling queues` message when at least a single queue has been removed
- Consistently use filepath.Join() for creating paths to persistent queues.
This is needed for Windows support (see https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/70 )

This fixes handling of values bigger than 2GiB for the following command-line flags:
- -storage.minFreeDiskSpaceBytes
- -remoteWrite.maxDiskUsagePerURL
Sort labels explicitly after calling the ParsedConfigs.Apply() when needed.
This reduces CPU usage when performing metric-level relabeling, where labels' sorting isn't needed.
The standard Snappy encoder from github.com/golang/snappy shows quite good performance number
for compressing the Prometheus remote_write proto messages according to the added benchmarks,
so there is no need in switching to github.com/klauspost/compress/s2 yet.
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 new metric `vmagent_remotewrite_queues` exports a static value of
number of configured remote write queus. This metric is useful to
calculate total saturation per each configured URL with given number
of queues. See corresponding changes to vmagent alerts and dashboard.
