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.

The issue has been introduced in 8189770c50

lib/{storage,mergeset}: log the duration for flushing in-memory parts on graceful shutdown 2022-12-05 21:55:21 -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.

Leave `vm_available_memory_bytes` for backwards compatibility.

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.

0efd37cec1 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

b8a5ee2e93 lib/{mergeset,storage}: allow merging smaller number of small parts
While this may increase CPU and disk IO usage needed for background merge,
this also recudes CPU usage during queries in production. This is because
such queries tend to read recently added data and it is better to have lower number
of parts for such data in order to reduce CPU usage.

29bbab0ec9 lib/storage: remove prioritizing of merging small parts over merging big parts, since it doesn't work as expected
The prioritizing could lead to big merge starvation, which could end up in too big number of parts that must be merged into big parts.

Multiple big merges may be initiated after the migration from v1.39.0 or v1.39.1. It is OK - these merges should be finished soon,
which should return CPU and disk IO usage to normal levels.
