Change the return values for these functions - now they return the unmarshaled result plus
the size of the unmarshaled result in bytes, so the caller could re-slice the src for further unmarshaling.
This improves performance of these functions in hot loops of VictoriaLogs a bit.
Blocks outside the configured retention are eventually deleted during background merge.
But such blocks may reside in the storage for long time until background merge.
Previously VictoriaMetrics could spend additional CPU time on processing such blocks
during search queries. Now these blocks are skipped.
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
- 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
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).
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2007
* Rename -search.maxMetricsPointSearch to -search.maxSamplesPerQuery, so it is more consistent with the existing -search.maxSamplesPerSeries
* Move the -search.maxSamplesPerQuery from vmstorage to vmselect, so it could effectively limit the number of raw samples obtained from all the vmstorage nodes
* Document the -search.maxSamplesPerQuery in docs/CHANGELOG.md
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.
The metricID->metricName entry can be missing in the indexdb after unclean shutdown
when only a part of entries for new time series is written into indexdb.
Recover from such a situation by removing the broken metricID. New metricID
will be automatically created for time series with the given metricName
when new data point will arive to it.
