### Describe Your Changes
Add a note to clarify usage of azure credentials when multiple
credentials are available.
The user is required to specify AZURE_CLIENT_ID as otherwise Azure API
will return an error: "Multiple user assigned identities exist, please
specify the clientId / resourceId of the identity in the token request"

The /some_path/.+ regexp matches /some_path/ followed by at least a single char.
This is unexpected by most users, since they expect it should match /some_path/.
Substitute .+ with .*, so this regexp matches /some_path/ .
There is no need in enumerating all the files, which must be updated, since these files
may be moved to other locations. It is enough to mention that versions for all the VictoriaMetrics
components must be updated.
### Describe Your Changes
Add patch note v1.13.3 to CHANGELOG doc page for `vmanomaly`
### Checklist
The following checks are **mandatory**:
- [x] My change adheres [VictoriaMetrics contributing
guidelines](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/contributing/).
- Mention that credentials can be configured via env variables at both vmbackup and vmrestore docs.
- Make clear that the AZURE_STORAGE_DOMAIN env var is optional at https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmbackup/#providing-credentials-via-env-variables
- Use string literals as is for env variable names instead of indirecting them via string constants.
This makes easier to read and understand the code. These environment variable names aren't going to change
in the future, so there is no sense in hiding them under string constants with some other names.
- Refer to https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmbackup/#providing-credentials-via-env-variables in error messages
when auth creds are improperly configured. This should simplify figuring out how to fix the error.
- Simplify the code a bit at FS.newClient(), so it is easier to follow it now.
While at it, remove the check when superflouos environment variables are set, since it is too fragile
and it looks like it doesn't help properly configuring vmbackup / vmrestore.
- Remove envLookuper indirection - just use 'func(name string) (string, bool)' type inline.
This simplifies code reading and understanding.
- Split TestFSInit() into TestFSInit_Failure() and TestFSInit_Success(). This simplifies the test code,
so it should be easier to maintain in the future.

Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5984
- Clarify the description of -graphite.sanitizeMetricName command-line flag at README.md
- Do not sanitize tag values - only metric names and tag names must be sanitized,
since they are treated specially by Grafana. Grafana doesn't apply any restrictions on tag values.
- Properly replace more than two consecutive dots with a single dot.
- Disallow unicode letters in metric names and tag names, since neither Prometheus nor Grafana
do not support them.

`Storage.AddRows()` returns an error only in one case: when
`Storage.updatePerDateData()` fails to unmarshal a `metricNameRaw`. But
the same error is treated as a warning when it happens inside
`Storage.add()` or returned by `Storage.prefillNextIndexDB()`.
This commit fixes this inconsistency by treating the error returned by
`Storage.updatePerDateData()` as a warning as well. As a result
`Storage.add()` does not need a return value anymore and so doesn't
`Storage.AddRows()`.
Additionally, this commit adds a unit test that checks all cases that
result in a row not being added to the storage.

The purpose of docs/CHANGELOG.md is to provide VictoriaMetrics users clear and concise information
on what's changed at VictoriaMetrics components. Technical details of the change are unclear
to most of VictoriaMetrics users, who are not familiar with VictoriaMetrics source code.
These details complicate reading the docs/CHANGELOG.md by ordinary users, so do not clutter
the changelog with technical details. If the user wants technical details, he can click
the link to the related GitHub issue and/or pull request and dive into all the details he wants.
This reverts commit 4d66e042e3.
Reasons for revert:
- The commit makes unrelated invalid changes to docs/CHANGELOG.md
- The changes at app/vmauth/main.go are too complex. It is better splitting them into two parts:
- pooling readTrackingBody struct for reducing pressure on GC
- avoiding to use readTrackingBody when -maxRequestBodySizeToRetry command-line flag is set to 0
Let's make this in the follow-up commits!
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/6445
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/6533
- Obtain IAM token via GCE-like API instead of Amazon EC2 IMDSv2 API,
since it looks like IMDBSv2 API isn't supported by Yandex Cloud
according to https://yandex.cloud/en/docs/security/standard/authentication#aws-token :
> So far, Yandex Cloud does not support version 2, so it is strongly recommended
> to technically disable getting a service account token via the Amazon EC2 metadata service.
- Try obtaining IAM token via GCE-like API at first and then fall back to the deprecated Amazon EC2 IMDBSv1.
This should prevent from auth errors for instances with disabled GCE-like auth API.
This addresses @ITD27M01 concern at https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5513#issuecomment-1867794884
- Make more clear the description of the change at docs/CHANGELOG.md , add reference to the related issue.
P.S. This change wasn't tested in prod because I have no access to Yandex Cloud.
It is recommended to test this change by @ITD27M01 and @vmazgo , who filed
the issue https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5513
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/6524
- Move the test for SRV discovery into a separate function. This allows verifying round-robin discovery across SRV records.
- Restore the original netutil.Resolver after the test finishes, so it doesn't interfere with other tests.
- Move the description of the bugfix into the correct place at docs/CHANGELOG.md - it should be placed under v1.102.0-rc2
instead of v1.102.0-rc1.
- Remove unneeded code in URLPrefix.sanitizeAndInitialize(), since it is expected this function is called only once
for finishing URLPrefix initializiation. In this case URLPrefix.nextDiscoveryDeadline and URLPrefix.n are equal to 0
according to https://pkg.go.dev/sync/atomic#Uint64
- Properly fix the bug at URLPrefix.discoverBackendAddrsIfNeeded() - it is expected that hostToAddrs map uses
the original hostname keys, including 'srv+' prefix, so it shouldn't be removed when looping over up.busOriginal.
Instead, the 'srv+' prefix must be removed from the hostname only locally before passing the hostname to netutil.Resolver.LookupSRV.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/6401
- Move the remaining code responsible for stream aggregation initialization from remotewrite.go to streamaggr.go .
This improves code maintainability a bit.
- Properly shut down streamaggr.Aggregators initialized inside remotewrite.CheckStreamAggrConfigs().
This prevents from potential resource leaks.
- Use separate functions for initializing and reloading of global stream aggregation and per-remoteWrite.url stream aggregation.
This makes the code easier to read and maintain. This also fixes INFO and ERROR logs emitted by these functions.
- Add an ability to specify `name` option in every stream aggregation config. This option is used as `name` label
in metrics exposed by stream aggregation at /metrics page. This simplifies investigation of the exposed metrics.
- Add `path` label additionally to `name`, `url` and `position` labels at metrics exposed by streaming aggregation.
This label should simplify investigation of the exposed metrics.
- Remove `match` and `group` labels from metrics exposed by streaming aggregation, since they have little practical applicability:
it is hard to use these labels in query filters and aggregation functions.
- Rename the metric `vm_streamaggr_flushed_samples_total` to less misleading `vm_streamaggr_output_samples_total` .
This metric shows the number of samples generated by the corresponding streaming aggregation rule.
This metric has been added in the commit 861852f262 .
See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/6462
- Remove the metric `vm_streamaggr_stale_samples_total`, since it is unclear how it can be used in practice.
This metric has been added in the commit 861852f262 .
See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/6462
- Remove Alias and aggrID fields from streamaggr.Options struct, since these fields aren't related to optional params,
which could modify the behaviour of the constructed streaming aggregator.
Convert the Alias field to regular argument passed to LoadFromFile() function, since this argument is mandatory.
- Pass Options arg to LoadFromFile() function by reference, since this structure is quite big.
This also allows passing nil instead of Options when default options are enough.
- Add `name`, `path`, `url` and `position` labels to `vm_streamaggr_dedup_state_size_bytes` and `vm_streamaggr_dedup_state_items_count` metrics,
so they have consistent set of labels comparing to the rest of streaming aggregation metrics.
- Convert aggregator.aggrStates field type from `map[string]aggrState` to `[]aggrOutput`, where `aggrOutput` contains the corresponding
`aggrState` plus all the related metrics (currently only `vm_streamaggr_output_samples_total` metric is exposed with the corresponding
`output` label per each configured output function). This simplifies and speeds up the code responsible for updating per-output
metrics. This is a follow-up for the commit 2eb1bc4f81 .
See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/6604
- Added missing urls to docs ( https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation/ ) in error messages. These urls help users
figuring out why VictoriaMetrics or vmagent generates the corresponding error messages. The urls were removed for unknown reason
in the commit 2eb1bc4f81 .
- Fix incorrect update for `vm_streamaggr_output_samples_total` metric in flushCtx.appendSeriesWithExtraLabel() function.
While at it, reduce memory usage by limiting the maximum number of samples per flush to 10K.

- Consistently enumerate stream aggregation outputs in alphabetical order across the source code and docs.
This should simplify future maintenance of the corresponding code and docs.
- Fix the link to `rate_sum()` at `see also` section of `rate_avg()` docs.
- Make more clear the docs for `rate_sum()` and `rate_avg()` outputs.
- Encapsulate output metric suffix inside rateAggrState. This eliminates possible bugs related
to incorrect suffix passing to newRateAggrState().
- Rename rateAggrState.total field to less misleading rateAggrState.increase name, since it calculates
counter increase in the current aggregation window.
- Set rateLastValueState.prevTimestamp on the first sample in time series instead of the second sample.
This makes more clear the code logic.
- Move the code for removing outdated entries at rateAggrState into removeOldEntries() function.
This make the code logic inside rateAggrState.flushState() more clear.
- Do not write output sample with zero value if there are no input series, which could be used
for calculating the rate, e.g. if only a single sample is registered for every input series.
- Do not take into account input series with a single registered sample when calculating rate_avg(),
since this leads to incorrect results.
- Move {rate,total}AggrState.flushState() function to the end of rate.go and total.go files, so they look more similar.
This shuld simplify future mantenance.

The old link was changed globally to the new link in the commit f4b1cbfef0 .
Unfortunately, old links are still posted in new commits :(
This is a follow-up for 680b8c25c8 .
While at it, remove duplicate 'len(*remoteWriteURLs) > 0' check in the remotewrite.Init() functions,
since this check is already made at the beginning of the function.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/6253
- Drop samples and return true from remotewrite.TryPush() at fast path when all the remote storage
systems are configured with the disabled on-disk queue, every in-memory queue is full
and -remoteWrite.dropSamplesOnOverload is set to true. This case is quite common,
so it should be optimized. Previously additional CPU time was spent on per-remoteWriteCtx
relabeling and other processing in this case.
- Properly count the number of dropped samples inside remoteWriteCtx.pushInternalTrackDropped().
Previously dropped samples were counted only if -remoteWrite.dropSamplesOnOverload flag is set.
In reality, the samples are dropped when they couldn't be sent to the queue because in-memory queue is full
and on-disk queue is disabled.
The remoteWriteCtx.pushInternalTrackDropped() function is called by streaming aggregation for pushing
the aggregated data to the remote storage. Streaming aggregation cannot wait until the remote storage
processes pending data, so it drops aggregated samples in this case.
- Clarify the description for -remoteWrite.disableOnDiskQueue command-line flag at -help output,
so it is clear that this flag can be set individually per each -remoteWrite.url.
- Make the -remoteWrite.dropSamplesOnOverload flag global. If some of the remote storage systems
are configured with the disabled on-disk queue, then there is no sense in keeping samples
on some of these systems, while dropping samples on the remaining systems, since this
will result in global stall on the remote storage system with the disabled on-disk queue
and with the -remoteWrite.dropSamplesOnOverload=false flag. vmagent will always return false
from remotewrite.TryPush() in this case. This will result in infinite duplicate samples
written to the remaining remote storage systems. That's why the -remoteWrite.dropSamplesOnOverload
is forcibly set to true if more than one -remoteWrite.disableOnDiskQueue flag is set.
This allows proceeding with newly scraped / pushed samples by sending them to the remaining
remote storage systems, while dropping them on overloaded systems with the -remoteWrite.disableOnDiskQueue flag set.
- Verify that the remoteWriteCtx.TryPush() returns true in the TestRemoteWriteContext_TryPush_ImmutableTimeseries test.
- Mention in vmagent docs that the -remoteWrite.disableOnDiskQueue command-line flag can be set individually per each -remoteWrite.url.

(cherry picked from commit 5b43675af6)
### Describe Your Changes
In most cases histograms are exposed in sorted manner with lower buckets
being first. This means that during scraping buckets with lower bounds
have higher chance of being updated earlier than upper ones.
Previously, values were propagated from upper to lower bounds, which
means that in most cases that would produce results higher than expected
once all buckets will become updated.
Propagating from upper bound effectively limits highest value of
histogram to the value of previous scrape. Once the data will become
consistent in the subsequent evaluation this causes spikes in the
result.
Changing propagation to be from lower to higher buckets reduces value
spikes in most cases due to nature of the original inconsistency.
See: https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4580
An example histogram with previous(red) and updated(blue) versions:
This also makes logic of filling nan values with lower buckets values: [1 2 3 nan nan nan] => [1 2 3 3 3 3] obsolete.
Since buckets are now fixed from lower ones to upper this happens in the main loop, so there is no need in a second one.

(cherry picked from commit 1c155a0cd1)
vmbackup, vmrestore and vmbackupmanager use the same libs
for integrations with object storage. That means the auth can be configured
in the same way for all of them. So the docs should have either identical
config section for all 3 components, or we should cross-link to one source of truth.
This change removes incomplete auth options from vmrestore docs and adds link
to complete auth options in vmbackup instead.

### Describe Your Changes
These changes support using Azure Managed Identity for the `vmbackup`
utility. It adds two new environment variables:
* `AZURE_USE_DEFAULT_CREDENTIAL`: Instructs the `vmbackup` utility to
build a connection using the [Azure Default
Credential](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/sdk/azidentity@v1.5.2#NewDefaultAzureCredential)
mode. This causes the Azure SDK to check for a variety of environment
variables to try and make a connection. By default, it tries to use
managed identity if that is set up.
This will close

### Checklist
The following checks are **mandatory**:
- [x] My change adheres [VictoriaMetrics contributing

### Testing
However you normally test the `vmbackup` utility using Azure Blob should
continue to work without any changes. The set up for that is environment
specific and not listed out here.
Once regression testing has been done you can set up [Azure Managed
Identity](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/managed-identities-azure-resources/overview)
so your resource (AKS, VM, etc), can use that credential method. Once it
is set up, update your environment variables according to the updated
documentation.
I added unit tests to the `FS.Init` function, then made my changes, then
updated the unit tests to capture the new branches.
I tested this in our environment, but with SAS token auth and managed
identity and it works as expected.

(cherry picked from commit c429bbf889)
Reason for revert:
There are many statsd servers exist:
- https://github.com/statsd/statsd - classical statsd server
- https://docs.datadoghq.com/developers/dogstatsd/ - statsd server from DataDog built into DatDog Agent ( https://docs.datadoghq.com/agent/ )
- https://github.com/avito-tech/bioyino - high-performance statsd server
- https://github.com/atlassian/gostatsd - statsd server in Go
- https://github.com/prometheus/statsd_exporter - statsd server, which exposes the aggregated data as Prometheus metrics
These servers can be used for efficient aggregating of statsd data and sending it to VictoriaMetrics
according to https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#how-to-send-data-from-graphite-compatible-agents-such-as-statsd (
the https://github.com/prometheus/statsd_exporter can be scraped as usual Prometheus target
according to https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#how-to-scrape-prometheus-exporters-such-as-node-exporter ).
Adding support for statsd data ingestion protocol into VictoriaMetrics makes sense only if it provides
significant advantages over the existing statsd servers, while has no significant drawbacks comparing
to existing statsd servers.
The main advantage of statsd server built into VictoriaMetrics and vmagent - getting rid of additional statsd server.
The main drawback is non-trivial and inconvenient streaming aggregation configs, which must be used for the ingested statsd metrics (
see https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation/ ). These configs are incompatible with the configs for standalone statsd servers.
So you need to manually translate configs of the used statsd server to stream aggregation configs when migrating
from standalone statsd server to statsd server built into VictoriaMetrics (or vmagent).
Another important drawback is that it is very easy to shoot yourself in the foot when using built-in statsd server
with the -statsd.disableAggregationEnforcement command-line flag or with improperly configured streaming aggregation.
In this case the ingested statsd metrics will be stored to VictoriaMetrics as is without any aggregation.
This may result in high CPU usage during data ingestion, high disk space usage for storing all the unaggregated
statsd metrics and high CPU usage during querying, since all the unaggregated metrics must be read, unpacked and processed
during querying.
P.S. Built-in statsd server can be added to VictoriaMetrics and vmagent after figuring out more ergonomic
specialized configuration for aggregating of statsd metrics. The main requirements for this configuration:
- easy to write, read and update (ideally it should work out of the box for most cases without additional configuration)
- hard to misconfigure (e.g. hard to shoot yourself in the foot)
It would be great if this configuration will be compatible with the configuration of the most widely used statsd server.
In the mean time it is recommended continue using external statsd server.

While at it, clarify the description of the bugfix at docs/CHANGELOG.md
Use metricsql.IsLikelyInvalid() function for determining whether the given query is likely invalid,
e.g. there is high change the query is incorrectly written, so it will return unexpected results.
The query is invalid most of the time if it passes something other than series selector into rollup function.
For example:
- rate(sum(foo))
- rate(foo + bar)
- rate(foo > bar)
Improtant note: the query is considered valid if it misses the lookbehind window in square brackes inside rollup function,
e.g. rate(foo), since this is very convenient MetricsQL extention to PromQL, and this query returns the expected results
most of the time.
Other unsafe query types can be added in the future into metricsql.IsLikelyInvalid().
TODO: probably, the -search.disableImplicitConversion command-line flag must be set by default in the future releases of VictoriaMetrics.

The set of log fields in the found logs may differ from the set of log fields present in the log stream.
So compare only the log fields in the found logs when searching for the matching log entry in the log stream.
While at it, return _stream field in the delimiter log entry, since this field is used by VictoriaLogs Web UI
for grouping logs by log streams.

### Describe Your Changes
Fix Date metricid cache consistency under concurrent use.
When one goroutine calls Has() and does not find the cache entry in the
immutable map it will acquire a lock and check the mutable map. And it
is possible that before that lock is acquired, the entry is moved from
the mutable map to the immutable map by another goroutine causing a
cache miss.
The fix is to check the immutable map again once the lock is acquired.

This reverts commit 5ecf439078.
Reason for revert: the previous logic was correct.
The purpose of `-search.maxSamplesPerQuery` command-line flag is to limit the amounts of CPU resources,
which could be taken by a single query - see https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#resource-usage-limits .
VictoriaMetrics processes samples in blocks during querying - it reads the block, then unpacks it,
then filters out samples outside the selected time range. This means that it _spends CPU time_
on reading and unpacking of _all the samples_ in every block on the requested time range,
even if only a single sample per each block matches the given time range.
The previous logic was effectively limiting CPU time a single query could take.
The new logic fails limiting CPU time a single query could take in some pathological cases
when only a small fraction of samples per each requested block fit the requested time range.
This allows performing multiplication DoS-attacks by querying very narrow time ranges over historical blocks,
which tend to be full. For example, if the `-search.maxSamplesPerQuery` equals to a billion,
and the query requests a single sample out of 8K samples per each block, this means that the query
may unpack a billion of such blocks without exceeding the limit, e.g. it may unpack and process 8K*1e9=8e12 samples.
This is not what the resource usage limits were created for originally - see https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#resource-usage-limits
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5851
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/6464
This reverts commit 92b22581e6.
Reason for revert: too complex and slow approach for spellchecking task.
This approach may significantly slow down development pace. It also may take non-trivial
amounts of additional time and resources at CI/CD because of all this npm shit at cspell directory.
Note to @arkid15r : the idea with the ability to run spellchecker on all the VictoriaMetrics
codebase is great. But this shouldn't be mandatory pre-commit check. It is enough to have
a Makefile rule like `make spellcheck`, which could be run manually whenever spellcheck is needed
(e.g. once per month or once per quarter).
Reason for revert: this commit doesn't resolve real security issues,
while it complicates the resulting code in subtle ways (aka security circus).
Comparison of two strings (passwords, auth keys) takes a few nanoseconds.
This comparison is performed in non-trivial http handler, which takes thousands
of nanoseconds, and the request handler timing is non-deterministic because of Go runtime,
Go GC and other concurrently executed goroutines. The request handler timing is even
more non-deterministic when the application is executed in shared environments
such as Kubernetes, where many other applications may run on the same host and use
shared resources of this host (CPU, RAM bandwidth, network bandwidth).
Additionally, it is expected that the passwords and auth keys are passed via TLS-encrypted connections.
Establishing TLS connections takes additional non-trivial time (millions of nanoseconds),
which depends on many factors such as network latency, network congestion, etc.
This makes impossible to conduct timing attack on passwords and auth keys in VictoriaMetrics components.

### Describe Your Changes
Trimming content which is loaded from an external pass leads to obscure
issues in case user-defined input contained trimmed chars. For example.
user-defined password "foo\n" will become "foo" while user will expect
it to contain a new line.
---
For example, a user defines a password which ends with `\n`. This often
happens when user Kubernetes secrets and manually encodes value as
base64-encoded string.
In this case vmauth configuration might look like:
```
users:
- url_prefix:
- http://vminsert:8480/insert/0/prometheus/api/v1/write
name: foo
username: foo
password: "foobar\n"
```
vmagent configuration for this setup will use the following flags:
```
-remoteWrite.url=http://vmauth:8427/
-remoteWrite.basicAuth.passwordFile=/tmp/vmagent-password
-remoteWrite.basicAuth.username="foo"
```
Where `/tmp/vmagent-password` is a file with `foobar\n` password.
Before this change such configuration will result in `401 Unauthorized`
response received by vmagent since after file content will become
`foobar`.
---
An example with Kubernetes operator which uses a secret to reference the
same password in multiple configurations.
<details>
<summary>See full manifests</summary>
`Secret`:
```
apiVersion: v1
data:
name: Zm9v # foo
password: Zm9vYmFy # foobar\n
username: Zm9v= # foo
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: vmuser
```
`VMUser`:
```
apiVersion: operator.victoriametrics.com/v1beta1
kind: VMUser
metadata:
name: vmagents
spec:
generatePassword: false
name: vmagents
targetRefs:
- crd:
kind: VMAgent
name: some-other-agent
namespace: example
username: foo
# note - the secret above is referenced to provide password
passwordRef:
name: vmagent
key: password
```
`VMAgent`:
```
apiVersion: operator.victoriametrics.com/v1beta1
kind: VMAgent
metadata:
name: example
spec:
selectAllByDefault: true
scrapeInterval: 5s
replicaCount: 1
remoteWrite:
- url: "http://vmauth-vmauth-example:8427/api/v1/write"
# note - the secret above is referenced as well
basicAuth:
username:
name: vmagent
key: username
password:
name: vmagent
key: password
```
</details>
Since both config target exactly the same `Secret` object it is expected
to work, but apparently the result will be `401 Unauthrized` error.

Signed-off-by: hagen1778 <roman@victoriametrics.com>
- Use bytesutil.InternString() instead of strings.Clone() for inputKey and outputKey in aggregatorpushSamples().
This should reduce string allocation rate, since strings can be re-used between aggrState flushes.
- Reduce memory allocations at dedupAggrShard by storing dedupAggrSample by value in the active series map.
- Remove duplicate call to bytesutil.InternBytes() at Deduplicator, since it is already called inside dedupAggr.pushSamples().
- Add missing string interning at rateAggrState.pushSamples().
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/6402
The main change is getting rid of interning of sample key. It was
discovered that for cases with many unique time series aggregated by
vmagent interned keys could grow up to hundreds of millions of objects.
This has negative impact on the following aspects:
1. It slows down garbage collection cycles, as GC has to scan all inuse
objects periodically. The higher is the number of inuse objects, the
longer it takes/the more CPU it takes.
2. It slows down the hot path of samples aggregation where each key
needs to be looked up in the map first.
The change makes code more fragile, but suppose to provide performance
optimization for heavy-loaded vmagents with stream aggregation enabled.

### Describe Your Changes
Scratch based images will be using a separate tag: "(version)-scratch"
and will be built for the same architecture as regular images.
This is useful for environments with higher security standards. In this
case using alpine as base layer requires updating images more frequently
in order to get the latest updates for the base image, even in case the
user did not need to update VictoriaMetrics version.
Tested that scratch images work for:
- vmagent - enterprise with kafka and opensource
- cluster
- single-node
No issues observed so far.
