There is no sense in storing commonPrefix for blockHeader containing only a single item,
since this only increases blockHeader size without any benefits.
This panic could occur when samples with too long label values are ingested into VictoriaMetrics.
This could result in too long fistItem and commonPrefix values at blockHeader (up to 64kb each).
This may inflate the maximum index block size by 4 * maxIndexBlockSize.
For example, -fooDuration=',10s,' is now supported - it sets three command-line flag values:
- the first and the last one are set to the default value for `-fooDuration`
- the second one is set to 10s
This should significantly reduce the number of open ReaderAt files
on VictoriaMetrics and VictoriaLogs startup.
The open files can be tracked via vm_fs_readers metric
GOGC can be already set via environment variable. There is no need in adding
new approaches for setting the GOGC (such as command-line flag), since they complicate operations.
Remove temporary file before closing it in order to signal the OS that it shouldn't
store the file contents from page cache to disk when the file is closed.
Gracefully handle the case when the file cannot be removed before being closed -
in this case remove the file after closing it. This allows working on Windows.
Also remove superflouos opening of temporary file for reading - re-use already opened file handle for writing.

Entries for the previous dates is usually not used, so there is little sense in keeping them in memory.
This should reduce the size of storage/date_metricID cache, which can be monitored
via vm_cache_entries{type="storage/date_metricID"} metric.
This limit has little sense for these APIs, since:
- Thses APIs frequently result in scanning of all the time series on the given time range.
For example, if extra_filters={datacenter="some_dc"} .
- Users expect these APIs shouldn't hit the -search.maxUniqueTimeseries limit,
which is intended for limiting resource usage at /api/v1/query and /api/v1/query_range requests.
Also limit the concurrency for /api/v1/labels, /api/v1/label/.../values
and /api/v1/series requests in order to limit the maximum memory usage and CPU usage for these API.
This limit shouldn't affect typical use cases for these APIs:
- Grafana dashboard load when dashboard labels should be loaded
- Auto-suggestion list load when editing the query in Grafana or vmui

- Maintain a separate worker pool per each part type (in-memory, file, big and small).
Previously a shared pool was used for merging all the part types.
A single merge worker could merge parts with mixed types at once. For example,
it could merge simultaneously an in-memory part plus a big file part.
Such a merge could take hours for big file part. During the duration of this merge
the in-memory part was pinned in memory and couldn't be persisted to disk
under the configured -inmemoryDataFlushInterval .
Another common issue, which could happen when parts with mixed types are merged,
is uncontrolled growth of in-memory parts or small parts when all the merge workers
were busy with merging big files. Such growth could lead to significant performance
degradataion for queries, since every query needs to check ever growing list of parts.
This could also slow down the registration of new time series, since VictoriaMetrics
searches for the internal series_id in the indexdb for every new time series.
The third issue is graceful shutdown duration, which could be very long when a background
merge is running on in-memory parts plus big file parts. This merge couldn't be interrupted,
since it merges in-memory parts.
A separate pool of merge workers per every part type elegantly resolves both issues:
- In-memory parts are merged to file-based parts in a timely manner, since the maximum
size of in-memory parts is limited.
- Long-running merges for big parts do not block merges for in-memory parts and small parts.
- Graceful shutdown duration is now limited by the time needed for flushing in-memory parts to files.
Merging for file parts is instantly canceled on graceful shutdown now.
- Deprecate -smallMergeConcurrency command-line flag, since the new background merge algorithm
should automatically self-tune according to the number of available CPU cores.
- Deprecate -finalMergeDelay command-line flag, since it wasn't working correctly.
It is better to run forced merge when needed - https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#forced-merge
- Tune the number of shards for pending rows and items before the data goes to in-memory parts
and becomes visible for search. This improves the maximum data ingestion rate and the maximum rate
for registration of new time series. This should reduce the duration of data ingestion slowdown
in VictoriaMetrics cluster on e.g. re-routing events, when some of vmstorage nodes become temporarily
unavailable.
- Prevent from possible "sync: WaitGroup misuse" panic on graceful shutdown.

The maxFileParts usage has been accidentally removed in fa566c68a6
While at it, add Count suffix to *AssistedMerges counter names in order to make them less misleading.
Previously their names were falsely suggesting that these are gauges, which show the number of concurrently
executed assisted merges.
It has been appeared that the registration of new time series slows down linearly
with the number of indexdb parts, since VictoriaMetrics needs to check every indexdb part
when it searches for TSID by newly ingested metric name.
The number of in-memory parts grows when new time series are registered
at high rate. The number of in-memory parts grows faster on systems with big number
of CPU cores, because the mergeset maintains per-CPU buffers with newly added entries
for the indexdb, and every such entry is transformed eventually into a separate in-memory part.
The solution has been suggested in https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/5212
by @misutoth - to limit the number of in-memory parts with buffered channel.
This solution is implemented in this commit. Additionally, this commit merges per-CPU parts
into a single part before adding it to the list of in-memory parts. This reduces CPU load
when searching for TSID by newly ingested metric name.
The https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/5212 recommends setting the limit on the number
of in-memory parts to 100, but my internal testing shows that much lower limit 15 works with the same efficiency
on a system with 16 CPU cores while reducing memory usage for `indexdb/dataBlocks` cache by up to 50%.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5190
This allows reducing the indexdb/tagFiltersToMetricIDs cache size by 8 on average.
The cache size can be checked via vm_cache_size_bytes{type="indexdb/tagFiltersToMetricIDs"} metric exposed at /metrics page.
Measuring read / write duration from / to in-memory buffers has little sense,
since it will be always fast. It is better to measure read / write duration from / to
real files at vm_filestream_write_duration_seconds_total and vm_filestream_read_duration_seconds_total metrics.
This also reduces overhead on time.Now() and Histogram.UpdateDuration() calls
per each filestream.Reader.Read() and filestream.Writer.Write() call when the data is read / written from / to in-memory buffers.

This should smooth CPU and RAM usage spikes related to these periodic tasks,
by reducing the probability that multiple concurrent periodic tasks are performed at the same time.
The dateMetricIDCache puts recently registered (date, metricID) entries into mutable cache protected by the mutex.
The dateMetricIDCache.Has() checks for the entry in the mutable cache when it isn't found in the immutable cache.
Access to the mutable cache is protected by the mutex. This means this access is slow on systems with many CPU cores.
The mutabe cache was merged into immutable cache every 10 seconds in order to avoid slow access to mutable cache.
This means that ingestion of new time series to VictoriaMetrics could result in significant slowdown for up to 10 seconds
because of bottleneck at the mutex.
Fix this by merging the mutable cache into immutable cache after len(cacheItems) / 2
cache hits under the mutex, e.g. when the entry is found in the mutable cache.
This should automatically adjust intervals between merges depending on the addition rate
for new time series (aka churn rate):
- The interval will be much smaller than 10 seconds under high churn rate.
This should reduce the mutex contention for mutable cache.
- The interval will be bigger than 10 seconds under low churn rate.
This should reduce the uneeded work on merging of mutable cache into immutable cache.

is being registered and the discovery of the associated `pod` and/or `service` objects takes longer
than 14 seconds - see the beginning of groupWatcher.startWatchersForRole() function for details.
Track the number of in-flight calls to apiWatcher.mustStart() and prevent from stopping the associated groupWatcher
if the number of in-flight calls is non-zero.
P.S. postponing the discovery of `pod` and/or `service` objects associated with `endpoints` or `endpointslice` roles
isn't the best solution, since it slows down initial discovery of `endpoints` and `endpointslice` targets.

E.g. replace `fs.Dir + filePath` with `path.Join(fs.Dir, filePath)`
The fs.Dir is guaranteed to end with slash - see Init() functions.
The filePath may start with slash. If it starts with slash, then `fs.Dir + filePath` constructs
an incorrect path with double slashes.
path.Join() properly substitutes duplicate slashes with a single slash in this case.
While at it, also substitute incorrect usage of filepath.Join() with path.Join()
for constructing paths to object storage systems, which expect forward slashes in paths.
filepath.Join() substittues forward slashes with backslashes on Windows, so this may break

Previously, it wasn't possible to build data processing pipeline with a

chain wasn't accessible, it persisted data only when it has enough disk
capacity. If disk queue is full, it started to silently drop ingested

New flags allows to disable on-disk persistent and immediatly return an

notify client, that data ingestion isn't possible.

This case is possible after the following steps:
1. vmagent successfully performed handshake with the -remoteWrite.url and the remote storage supports zstd-compressed data.
2. remote storage became unavailable or slow to ingest data, vmagent compressed the collected data into blocks with zstd and puts these blocks to persistent queue on disk.
3. vmagent restarts and the remote storage is unavailable during the handshake, then vmagent falls back to Snappy compression.
4. vmagent starts sending zstd-compressed data from persistent queue to the remote storage, while falsely advertizing it sends Snappy-compressed data.
5. The remote storage receives zstd-compressed data and fails unpacking it with Snappy.
The solution is the same as 12cd32fd75, just fall back to zstd decompression if Snappy decompression fails.
