Callers of OpenStorage() log the returned error and exit.
The error logging and exit can be performed inside MustOpenStorage()
alongside with printing the stack trace for better debuggability.
This simplifies the code at caller side.
This reverts commit bab6a15ae0.
Reason for revert: the `fetchData` arg is used in cluster branch.
Leaving this arg in master branch makes smaller the diff with cluster branch.
Previously the time spent on inverted index search could exceed the configured `-search.maxQueryDuration`.
This commit stops searching in inverted index on query timeout.
This eliminates the need for storing block data into temporary files on a single-node VictoriaMetrics
during heavy queries, which touch big number of time series over long time ranges.
This improves single-node VM performance on heavy queries by up to 2x.
Production workload shows that the index requires ~4Kb of RAM per active time series.
This is too much for high number of active time series, so let's delete this index.
Now the queries should fall back to the index for the current day instead of the index
for the recent hour. The query performance for the current day index should be good enough
given the 100M rows/sec scan speed per CPU core.
Issues fixed:
- Slow startup times. Now the index is loaded from cache during start.
- High memory usage related to superflouos index copies every 10 seconds.
Production load with >10M active time series showed it could
slow down VictoriaMetrics startup times and could eat
all the memory leading to OOM.
Remove inmemory inverted index for recent hours until thorough
testing on production data shows it works OK.
