Currently the only way to convert a scalar to a vector is to
use absent(), which isn't very clean. This adds a vector()
function that's the inverse of scalar() and lets your optionally
set labels.
Example usage would be
vector(time() % 86400) < 3600
to filter to only the first hour of the day.
When doing comparison operations on vectors, filtering
sometimes gets in the way and you have to go to a fair bit of
effort to workaround it in order to always return a result.
The 'bool' modifier instead of filtering returns 0/1 depending
on the result of the compairson.
This is also a prerequisite to removing plain scalar/scalar comparisons,
as it maintains the current behaviour under a new syntax.
This is with `golint -min_confidence=0.5`.
I left several lint warnings untouched because they were either
incorrect or I felt it was better not to change them at the moment.
The current behaviour produces values that are not
from rules or scrapes. So if for example I have
a boolean 0/1 it can be returned as 0.2344589. This
prevents a number of advanced use cases, introduces
race conditions and can produce misleading graphs.
This commit removes the possibility to have multi-statement queries
which had no full support anyway. This makes the caller responsible
for multi-statement semantics.
Multiple tests are no longer timing-dependent.
`keep_common` is more in line with the function name
`drop_common_labels()` terminology-wise, and also more in line with
`group_left`/`group_right` (no `...ing` verb suffix).
We could also go the full way and call it `keep_common_labels`. That
would have the benefit of being even more consistent with the function
`drop_common_labels()` and would be more explanatory, but it also seems
quite long.
These changes allow to do range queries over scalar expressions.
Errors on bad types for range queries are now raised on query creation
rather than evaluation.
This calculates how much a counter increases over
a given period of time, which is the area under the curve
of it's rate.
increase(x[5m]) is equivilent to rate(x[5m]) * 300.
The promql_test checks failure of various bad syntaxed queries.
Those are moved into the parser tests as the new testing language
only deals with valid queries.
This commit adds parsing of time series description to the exisiting
query language parser. Time series descriptions are defined by a
metric followed by a sequence of values.
A high number of concurrent queries can slow each other down
so that none of them is reasonbly responsive. This commit limits
the number of queries being concurrently executed.
This copies the evaluation logic from the current rules/ package.
The new engine handles the execution process from query string to final result.
It provides query timeout and cancellation and general flexibility for
future changes.
functions.go: Add evaluation implementation. Slight changes to in/out data but
not to the processing logic.
quantile.go: No changes.
analyzer.go: No changes.
engine.go: Actually new part. Mainly consists of evaluation methods
which were not changed.
setup_test.go: Copy of rules/helpers_test.go to setup test storage.
promql_test.go: Copy of rules/rules_test.go.
This commit creates a (so far unused) package. It contains the a custom
lexer/parser for the query language.
ast.go: New AST that interacts well with the parser.
lex.go: Custom lexer (new).
lex_test.go: Lexer tests (new).
parse.go: Custom parser (new).
parse_test.go: Parser tests (new).
functions.go: Changed function type, dummies for parser testing (barely changed/dummies).
printer.go: Adapted from rules/ and adjusted to new AST (mostly unchanged, few additions).
