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

This simplifies routing at auth proxies such as vmauth to vlselect component,
which serves VMUI - just route all the requests, which start with /select/, to vlselect.
at arm based CPUs only 9 digits after comma matches for tests.
Especially at holtWinters functions. Since it only takes effect at tests
it makes no sense for changing float prescision at actual functions
Previously the location inside the sendPrometheusError() was logged.
This could make hard investigating error locations via `vm_log_messages_total` metric.
* vmselect: exit early from queue on context cancel
When `-search.maxConcurrentRequests` is reached, vmselect puts
request in the queue. It is expected, that requests in the queue
will be processed as soon as it would be enough capacity to do so.
However, it could happen that while request was waiting its turn,
the client could have already cancel it (close the connection,
or just close the tab with UI). In this case, we should de-queue
such requests to avoid spending extra resources on them.

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.
Callers of this function log the returned error and exit.
So let's just log the error with the given filepath and the call stack
inside the function itself and then exit. This simplifies the code
at callers' place while leaves the same level of debuggability in case of errors.
Callers of these functions log the returned error and then exit. The returned error already contains the path
to directory, which was failed to be created. So let's just log the error together with the call stack
inside these functions. This leaves the debuggability of the returned error at the same level
while allows simplifying the code at callers' side.
While at it, properly use MustMkdirFailIfExist instead of MustMkdirIfNotExist inside inmemoryPart.MustStoreToDisk().
It is expected that the inmemoryPart.MustStoreToDick() must fail if there is already a directory under the given path.
There is a bug here where if you have a single bucket like:
foo{vmrange="4.084e+02...4.642e+02"} 2 123
The expected output is three le encoded buckets like:
foo{le="4.084e+02"} 0 123
foo{le="4.642e+02"} 2 123
foo{le="+Inf"} 2 123
This correctly encodes the start and end of the vmrange.
If however, the input contains the previous bucket, and that bucket is
empty then you only get the end le and +Inf out currently, i.e:
foo{vmrange="7.743e+05...8.799e+05"} 5 123
foo{vmrange="6.813e+05...7.743e+05"} 0 123
results in:
foo{le="8.799e+05"} 5 123
foo{le="+Inf"} 5 123
This causes issues when you go to compute a quantile because this means
that the assumed lower bound of the buckets is 0 and this we interpolate
between 0->end rather than the vmrange start->end as expected.
- Expose stats.seriesFetched at `/api/v1/query_range` responses too
for the sake of consistency.
- Initialize QueryStats when it is needed and pass it to EvalConfig then.
This guarantees that the QueryStats is properly collected when the query
contains some subqueries.
The change adds a new field `seriesFetched` to EvalConfig object.
Since EvalConfig object can be copied inside `Exec`,
`seriesFetched` is a pointer which can be updated by all copied
objects.
The reason for having stats is that other components, like vmalert,
could benefit from this information.

using `runtime.Gosched` requires acquiring global lock to check if there are any other goroutines to perform tasks. with the latest versions of runtime it can pause running goroutines automatically without requiring to call `Gosched` directly.

* vmselect/promql: refactor `evalRollupNoIncrementalAggregate` to use lock-less approach for parallel workers computation
Locking there is causing issues when running on highly multi-core system as it introduces lock contention during results merge.
New implementation uses lock less approach to store results per workerID and merges final result in the end, this is expected to significantly reduce lock contention and CPU usage for systems with high number of cores.
