This adds the population standard deviation and
variance as aggregation functions, useful for
spotting how many standard deviations some samples
are from the mean.
The one central sample ingestion channel has caused a variety of
trouble. This commit removes it. Targets and rule evaluation call an
Append method directly now. To incorporate multiple storage backends
(like OpenTSDB), storage.Tee forks the Append into two different
appenders.
Note that the tsdb queue manager had its own queue anyway. It was a
queue after a queue... Much queue, so overhead...
Targets have their own little buffer (implemented as a channel) to
avoid stalling during an http scrape. But a new scrape will only be
started once the old one is fully ingested.
The contraption of three pipelined ingesters was removed. A Target is
an ingester itself now. Despite more logic in Target, things should be
less confusing now.
Also, remove lint and vet warnings in ast.go.
Unary expressions cause parsing errors if they are done in the lexer
by tokenizing them into the number.
This fix moves unary expressions to the parser.
This commits implements the OR operation between two vectors.
Vector matching using the ON clause is added to limit the set of
labels that define a match between two elements. Group modifiers
(GROUP_LEFT/GROUP_RIGHT) to request many-to-one matching are added.
This adds support for scientific notation in the expression language, as
well as for all possible literal forms of +Inf/-Inf/NaN.
TODO: Keep enough state in the parser/lexer to distinguish contexts in
which "Inf", "NaN", etc. should be parsed as a number vs. parsed as a
label name. Currently, foo{nan="bar"} would be a syntax error. However,
that is an existing bug for all our reserved words. E.g. foo{sum="bar"}
is a syntax error as well. This should be fixed separately.
Since we are now getting really deep into floating point calculation,
the tests had to take into account the precision loss. Since the rule
tests are based on direct line matching in the output, implementing
the "almost equal" semantics was pretty cumbersome, but here we are.
This allows changing the time offset for individual instant and range
vectors in a query.
For example, this returns the value of `foo` 5 minutes in the past
relative to the current query evaluation time:
foo offset 5m
Note that the `offset` modifier always needs to follow the selector
immediately. I.e. the following would be correct:
sum(foo offset 5m) // GOOD.
While the following would be *incorrect*:
sum(foo) offset 5m // INVALID.
The same works for range vectors. This returns the 5-minutes-rate that
`foo` had a week ago:
rate(foo[5m] offset 1w)
This change touches the following components:
* Lexer/parser: additions to correctly parse the new `offset`/`OFFSET`
keyword.
* AST: vector and matrix nodes now have an additional `offset` field.
This is used during their evaluation to adjust query and result times
appropriately.
* Query analyzer: now works on separate sets of ranges and instants per
offset. Isolating different offsets from each other completely in this
way keeps the preloading code relatively simple.
No storage engine changes were needed by this change.
The rules tests have been changed to not probe the internal
implementation details of the query analyzer anymore (how many instants
and ranges have been preloaded). This would also become too cumbersome
to test with the new model, and measuring the result of the query should
be sufficient.

This is related to #454. Queries now timeout after a duration set by
the -query.timeout flag. The TotalEvalTimer is now started/stopped
inside any of the ast.Eval* functions.
The 2nd isCounter argument to delta is ugly, make it optional as the first step
of deprecating it. This will makes delta only ever applied to gauges.
Add a deriv function to calculate the least squares
slope of a gauge. This is more useful for prediction than delta,
as it isn't as heavily influenced by outliers at the boundaries.
- Move CONTRIBUTORS.md to the more common AUTHORS.
- Added the required NOTICE file.
- Changed "Prometheus Team" to "The Prometheus Authors".
- Reverted the erroneous changes to the Apache License.
It turned out in the end, that only drop_common_metrics() produced any
erroneous output in the old system. The second expression in the test
("sum(testmetric) keeping_extra") already worked in the old code, but
why not keep it in...
The way to test ranged evaluations is a bit clumsy so far, so I want to
build a nicer test framework in the end, where all the test cases can be
specified as text files which specify desired inputs, outputs, query
step widths, etc.

Essentially:
- Remove unused code.
- Make it 'go vet' clean. The only remaining warnings are in generated code.
- Make it 'golint' clean. The only remaining warnings are in gerenated code.
- Smoothed out same minor things.

- Delete unneeded file view_adapter.go.
- Assessed that we still need the fingerprints in nodes
(to create iterators).
- Turned numMemChunkDescs into a metric.

A common problem in Prometheus alerting is to detect when no timeseries
exist for a given metric name and label combination. Unfortunately,
Prometheus alert expressions need to be of vector type, and
"count(nonexistent_metric)" results in an empty vector, yielding no
output vector elements to base an alert on. The newly introduced
absent() function solves this issue:
ALERT FooAbsent IF absent(foo{job="myjob"}) [...]
absent() has the following behavior:
- if the vector passed to it has any elements, it returns an empty
vector.
- if the vector passed to it has no elements, it returns a 1-element
vector with the value 1.
In the second case, absent() tries to be smart about deriving labels of
the 1-element output vector from the input vector:
absent(nonexistent{job="myjob"}) => {job="myjob"}
absent(nonexistent{job="myjob",instance=~".*"}) => {job="myjob"}
absent(sum(nonexistent{job="myjob"})) => {}
That is, if the passed vector is a literal vector selector, it takes all
"=" label matchers as the basis for the output labels, but ignores all
non-equals or regex matchers. Also, if the passed vector results from a
non-selector expression, no labels can be derived.

After many transformations, it doesn't make sense to keep the metric
names, since the result of the transformation is no longer that metric.
This drops the metric name after such transformations and makes the web
UI deal well with missing metric names.
This depends on the current branch on the following things:
- prometheus/client_golang needs to be at
e237cf15c6
in branch "julius/int-fingerprints" (to be merged with new storage)
- prometheus/promdash needs to be at
dd7691c9c2
