Julius Volz c6e9f085a3 Update used Go version to 1.3.
Go downloads moved to a different URL and require following redirects
(curl's '-L' option) now.

Go 1.3 deliberately randomizes ranges over maps, which uncovered some
bugs in our tests. These are fixed too.

Bjoern Rabenstein 1909686789 Make metrics exported by the Prometheus server itself more consistent.
- Always spell out the time unit (e.g. milliseconds instead of ms).

- Remove "_total" from the names of metrics that are not counters.

- Make use of the "Namespace" and "Subsystem" fields in the options.

- Removed the "capacity" facet from all metrics about channels/queues.
  These are all fixed via command line flags and will never change
  during the runtime of a process. Also, they should not be part of
  the same metric family. I have added separate metrics for the
  capacity of queues as convenience. (They will never change and are
  only set once.)

- I left "metric_disk_latency_microseconds" unchanged, although that
  metric measures the latency of the storage device, even if it is not
  a spinning disk. "SSD" is read by many as "solid state disk", so
  it's not too far off. (It should be "solid state drive", of course,
  but "metric_drive_latency_microseconds" is probably confusing.)

- Brian suggested to not mix "failure" and "success" outcome in the
  same metric family (distinguished by labels). For now, I left it as
  it is. We are touching some bigger issue here, especially as other
  parts in the Prometheus ecosystem are following the same
  principle. We still need to come to terms here and then change
  things consistently everywhere.

Julius Volz 80b3d3bf34 Speed up disk flushes by removing unnecessary sort.
The first sort in groupByFingerprint already ensures that all resulting sample
lists contain only one fingerprint. We also already assume that all
samples passed into AppendSamples (and thus groupByFingerprint) are
chronologically sorted within each fingerprint.

The extra chronological sort is thus superfluous. Furthermore, this
second sort didn't only sort chronologically, but also compared all
metric fingerprints again (although we already know that we're only
sorting within samples for the same fingerprint). This caused a huge
memory and runtime overhead.

In a heavily loaded real Prometheus, this brought down disk flush times
from ~9 minutes to ~1 minute.

Julius Volz 21cafe6cd7 Only evict memory series after they are on disk.
This fixes the problem where samples become temporarily unavailable for
queries while they are being flushed to disk. Although the entire
flushing code could use some major refactoring, I'm explicitly trying to
do the minimal change to fix the problem since there's a whole new
storage implementation in the pipeline.

The Go stdlib has testing.TB now, which fulfills the exact same
purpose.

Julius Volz 4df5c7ab18 Optimize label matcher memory and runtime behavior.
This optimizes the runtime and memory allocation behavior for label matchers
other than type "Equal". Instead of creating a new set for every union of
fingerprints, this simply adds new fingerprints to the existing set to achieve
the same effect.

The current behavior made a production Prometheus unresponsive when running a
NotEqual match against the "instance" label (a label with high value
cardinality).

Julius Volz 1b29975865 Fix RWLock memory storage deadlock.
This fixes https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/390

The cause for the deadlock was a lock semantic in Go that wasn't
obvious to me when introducing this bug:

http://golang.org/pkg/sync/#RWMutex.Lock

Key phrase: "To ensure that the lock eventually becomes available, a
blocked Lock call excludes new readers from acquiring the lock."

In the memory series storage, we have one function
(GetFingerprintsForLabelMatchers) acquiring an RLock(), which calls
another function also acquiring the same RLock()
(GetLabelValuesForLabelName). That normally doesn't deadlock, unless a
Lock() call from another goroutine happens right in between the two
RLock() calls, blocking both the Lock() and the second RLock() call from
ever completing.

  GoRoutine 1          GoRoutine 2
  ======================================
  RLock()
  ...                  Lock() [DEADLOCK]
  RLock() [DEADLOCK]   Unlock()
  RUnlock()
  RUnlock()

Testing deadlocks is tricky, but the regression test I added does
reliably detect the deadlock in the original code on my machine within a
normal concurrent reader/writer run duration of 250ms.

Julius Volz 01f652cb4c Separate storage implementation from interfaces.
This was initially motivated by wanting to distribute the rule checker
tool under `tools/rule_checker`. However, this was not possible without
also distributing the LevelDB dynamic libraries because the tool
transitively depended on Levigo:

rule checker -> query layer -> tiered storage layer -> leveldb

This change separates external storage interfaces from the
implementation (tiered storage, leveldb storage, memory storage) by
putting them into separate packages:

- storage/metric: public, implementation-agnostic interfaces
- storage/metric/tiered: tiered storage implementation, including memory
                         and LevelDB storage.

I initially also considered splitting up the implementation into
separate packages for tiered storage, memory storage, and LevelDB
storage, but these are currently so intertwined that it would be another
major project in itself.

The query layers and most other parts of Prometheus now have notion of
the storage implementation anymore and just use whatever implementation
they get passed in via interfaces.

The rule_checker is now a static binary :)
