Previously the selected time series were split evenly among available CPU cores
for further processing - e.g unpacking the data and applying the given rollup
function to the unpacked data.
Some time series could be processed slower than others.
This could result in uneven work distribution among available CPU cores,
e.g. some CPU cores could complete their work sooner than others.
This could slow down query execution.
The new algorithm allows stealing time series to process from other CPU cores
when all the local work is done. This should reduce the maximum time
needed for query execution (aka tail latency).
The new algorithm should also scale better on systems with many CPU cores,
since every CPU processes locally assigned time series without inter-CPU communications.
The inter-CPU communications are used only when all the local work is finished
and the pending work from other CPUs needs to be stealed.
Unpack time series with less than 400K samples in the currently running goroutine.
Previously a new goroutine was being started for unpacking the samples.
This was requiring additional memory allocations.
Usually the number of blocks returned per each time series during queries is around 4.
So it is a good idea to pre-allocate 4 block references per time series
in order to reduce the number of memory allocations.
Previously the -maxConcurrentInserts was limiting the number of established client connections,
which write data to VictoriaMetrics. Some of these connections could be idle.
Such connections do not consume big amounts of CPU and RAM, so there is a little sense in limiting
the number of such connections. So now the -maxConcurrentInserts command-line option
limits the number of concurrently executed insert requests, not including idle connections.
It is recommended removing -maxConcurrentInserts command-line option, since the default value
for this option should work good for most cases.
- Show in the line tooltip the number of the query which generates the given line.
This simplifies comparison of lines generated by multiple queries.
- Show metric name as __name__ label in the line tooltip in the same way as other labels are shown there.
This makes the label information in the tooltip more consistent.
- Properly quote label values with JSON.stringify(). This prevents from improper formatting
when label values contain doublequote chars.
- Remove double curly braces artifact at graph legend for lines without names and labels.
- Properly use modifier for regular expressions across the code.
There is no need to manually call `queryDuration.UpdateDuration(startTime)`, because `defer queryDuration.UpdateDuration(startTime)` is executed at the beginning of the function(L660).
This simplifies manual usage of the APIs. For example, the following query
would return the results over the 2022 year.
/api/v1/query_range?start=2022&end=2023&step=1d&query=...
This is equivalent to:
/api/v1/query_range?start=2022-01-01T00:00:00Z&end=2023-01-01T00:00:00Z&step=1d&query=...
- Document the feature at docs/CHANGELOG.md.
- Document the metrics explorer at https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#metrics-explorer .
- Properly set `start` and `end` args for the selected time range
when performing the request, which returns metric names.
- Improve queries, so they return lower number of lines and labels.
This should improve metrics' exploration.
- Properly encode label filters and query args before passing them to VictoriaMetrics.
- Various cosmetic fixes.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3386
Previously too short lookbehind window d for rate(m[d]) could be automatically extended
if it didn't cover at least two raw samples. This was needed in order to guarantee
non-empty results from rate(m[d]) on short time ranges.
Now the lookbehind window isn't extended if it is set explicitly,
since it is expected that the user knows what he is doing.
The lookbehind window continues to be extended when needed if it isn't set explicitly.
For example, in the case of rate(m).

Previously empty series (e.g. series with all NaN samples) were passed to aggregate functions.
Such series must be ingored by all the aggregate functions.
So it is better from consistency PoV filtering out empty series before applying aggregate functions.
* app/vmselect: ignore empty series for `limit_offset`
VictoriaMetrics doesn't return empty series (with all NaN values) to
the user. But such series are filtered after transform functions.
It means `limit_offset` will account for empty series as well.
For example, let's consider following data set:
```
time series:
foo{label="1"} NaN, NaN, NaN, NaN // empty series
foo{label="2"} 1, 2, 3, 4
foo{label="3"} 4, 3, 2, 1
```
When user requests all series for metric `foo` the empty series
will be filtered out:
```
/query=foo:
foo{label="v2"} 1, 2, 3, 4
foo{label="v3"} 4, 3, 2, 1
```
But `limit_offset(1, 1, foo)` is applied to original series, not filtered yet.
So it will return `foo{label="v2"}` (skips the first in list)
```
/query=limit_offset(1, 1, foo):
foo{label="v2"} 1, 2, 3, 4
```
Expected result would be to apply `limit_offset` to already filtered list,
so in result we receive `foo{label="v3"}`:
```
/query=limit_offset(1, 1, foo):
foo{label="v3"} 4, 3, 2, 1
```
The change does exactly that - filters empty series before applying `limit_offset`.

* Explicitly store a pointer to UserReadableError in the error interface.

* Document the change in docs/CHANGELOG.md
When read query fails, VM returns rich error message with
all the details. While these details might be useful
for debugging specific cases, they're usually too verbose
for users.
Introducing a new error type `UserReadableError` is supposed
to allow to return to user only the most important parts
of the error trace. This supposed to improve error readability
in web interfaces such as VMUI or Grafana.
The full error trace is still logged with the full context
and can be found in vmselect logs.

Reduce inter-CPU communications when processing the query over big number of time series.
This should improve performance for queries over big number of time series
on systems with many CPU cores.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2896
Based on b596ac3745
Thanks to @zqyzyq for the idea.
The change allows to specify default value for `getScrapeInterval`
function when actual interval can't be calculated.
Before the change, function were returning `maxSilenceInterval` (5m)
in such cases, which may be not correct for instant queries processing.
The specific scenario where using `maxSilenceInterval` caused issues
is the following:
1. Series becomes stale;
2. Client (in this case vmalert) continues to request series every 15s;
3. Database returns empty results as expected;
4. But at some specific moment of time database returns datapoints from `now()-5m`,
because lookback window was extended to `maxSilenceInterval`.

- Use binary search instead of linear scan when locating the run of smallest timestamps
in blocks with intersected time ranges. This should improve performance
when merging blocks with big number of samples
- Skip samples with duplicate timestamps. This should increase query performance
in cluster version of VictoriaMetrics with the enabled replication.
- 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
Production experience shows that 100k is too big for /api/v1/series .
It leads to increased CPU usage when Grafana queries /api/v1/series over VictoriaMetrics
with big number of time series during auto-completion and when modifying template variables.
Previously SearchMetricNames was returning unmarshaled metric names.
This wasn't great for vmstorage, which should spend additional CPU time
for marshaling the metric names before sending them to vmselect.
While at it, remove possible duplicate metric names, which could occur when
multiple samples for new time series are ingested via concurrent requests.
Also sort the metric names before returning them to the client.
This simplifies debugging of the returned metric names across repeated requests to /api/v1/series

- RegisterMetricNames
- DeleteMetrics
- SearchTagValueSuffixes
- SearchGraphitePaths
* vmselect: limit `end` param max value by 2d in future
The change is applied only to service handlers like `/labels` or `/series`

in future far than that.
The change is also needed for corner cases like https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2669
where too high `end` value triggers inefficient global index search.

Previously bytesutil.Resize() was copying the original byte slice contents to a newly allocated slice.
This wasted CPU cycles and memory bandwidth in some places, where the original slice contents wasn't needed
after slize resizing. Switch such places to bytesutil.ResizeNoCopy().
Rename the original bytesutil.Resize() function to bytesutil.ResizeWithCopy() for the sake of improved readability.
Additionally, allocate new slice with `make()` instead of `append()`. This guarantees that the capacity of the allocated slice
exactly matches the requested size. The `append()` could return a slice with bigger capacity as an optimization for further `append()` calls.
This could result in excess memory usage when the returned byte slice was cached (for instance, in lib/blockcache).
