This adds write path support for segmented chunk data files.
Files of 512MB are pre-allocated and written to. If the file size
is exceeded, the next file is started. On completion, files
are truncated to their final size.
This adds a basic compactor that will merge two persisted blocks into
one. It simply fully rewrites the index and concatenates the chunk
lists.
It just writes into the current working dir and doesn't properly handle
which blocks to compact for now.
This changes the IndexReader API to expose plain labels
and chunk meta information instead of a Series interface.
Dropping of irrelevant chunks is moved into the querier.
A LabelIndices method is added to query for existing label
value indices.
This adds interval metadata to indexed chunks. The queried interval
is used to filter chunks when queried from the index to save
unnecessary accesses of the chunks file.
This is especially relevant for series that come and go often and larger
files.
