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
Possible solution - to create the new indexdb in one hour before the indexdb rotation
and to gradually pre-populate it with the needed index data during the last hour before indexdb rotation.
Then the new indexdb will contain all the needed data just after the rotation,
so it won't trigger increased CPU and disk IO.
- 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.

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.
The issue triggers after the indexdb rotation for time series, which stop receiving new samples.
This results in missing data for such time series in query responses.
This commit should address the https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3502
The issue has been introduced in 2dd93449d8
The searchTSIDs function was searching for metricIDs matching the the given tag filters
and then was locating the corresponding TSID entries for the found metricIDs.
The TSID entries aren't needed when searching for time series names (aka MetricName),
so this commit removes the uneeded TSID search from the implementation of /api/v1/series API.
This improves perfromance of /api/v1/series calls.
This commit also improves performance a bit for /api/v1/query and /api/v1/query_range calls,
since now these calls cache small metricIDs instead of big TSID entries
in the indexdb/tagFilters cache (now this cache is named indexdb/tagFiltersToMetricIDs)
without the need to compress the saved entries in order to save cache space.
This commit also removes concurrency limiter during searching for matching time series,
which was introduced in 8f16388428, since the concurrency
for all the read queries is already limited with -search.maxConcurrentRequests command-line flag.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/648
Previously the time series could be put into dateMetricIDCache without
registering in the per-day inverted index if GetOrCreateTSIDByName
finds TSID entry in the global index. This could lead to missing
series in query results.
The issue has been introduced in the commit 55e7afae3a,
which has been included in VictoriaMetrics v1.78.0
- show dates in human-readable format, e.g. 2022-05-07, instead of a numeric value
- limit the maximum length of queries and filters shown in trace messages
querytracer has been added to the following storage.Storage methods:
- RegisterMetricNames
- DeleteMetrics
- SearchTagValueSuffixes
- SearchGraphitePaths
The commit 5fb45173ae takes into account only newly registered series
when applying cardinality limits. This means that the cardinality limit could be exceeded with already registered series.
This commit returns back accounting for already registered series when applying cardinality limits.
Previously the creation of per-day indexes and global indexes
for the newly registered time series was decoupled.
Now global indexes and per-day indexes for the current day are created toghether for new time series.
This should speed up registering new time series a bit.
This allows filling the seriesCountByFocusLabelValue list in the /api/v1/status/tsdb response
with label values for the specified focusLabel, which contain the highest number of time series.
TODO: add this to Cardinality explorer at VMUI - https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#cardinality-explorer
The default size of `indexdb/tagFilters` now can be overridden via
`storage.cacheSizeIndexDBTagFilters` flag.
Please, be careful with changing default size since it may
lead to inefficient work of the vmstorage or OOM exceptions.
